  1. That's nice conversion...! Looks good, that could be just like from the factory line. That paintjob looks very good to me and that black hood is fitting just perfectly to this one. Must get that AMT Camino. How good or bad kit is it?
  2. Nice job with it. Paintjob looks amazing, as always. Engine detailing is very nice too. Interior looks good to me and that is very clean build all the way. I should maybe add taillights and register plate to it... But anyways very nice. Are you sure that this one is the last car this year? You build so fast that of course you can get one model finished !
  3. If you are going to test brake fluid, be very careful. It's pretty heavy stuff and it can destroy the body easily... I have been using MR Muscle for a long time. That's pretty good stuff, but it did nothing to my Corvette. Now Corvette has been in Fairy Power spray about one week, nothing happened. Many people says that Power Spray is very good stuff, but I'm not sure about it, because first model, wich I try, it didn't strip the paint at all. MR Muscle is very good, that is maybe the best choice for this...
  4. Thank you, DamnCranky! Those taillights are not good. They don't really look so good so must change them. I was thinking about '55 Chevy taillights, but they weren't good either. Well, now I'm using home made bullet taillights, not sure, am I keeping them but now while test fitting they are looking ok. Rear bumber was very hard to find, because I wanted smooth and simple, but chromed bumber for this. There are no any good choices for it, not going to buy one... So I used solder for making a new bumber for this. It fits just perfectly. There was also place for bondo in the trunk lid, someone has glued continental kit to there and that place needed some bondo. Now I must sand this one smooth, but it needs more bondo to the underneath of the body and specially under the diving board... Comments and ideas are welcome! Hope to have more stuff soon...
  5. '79 Buick Skyhawk 2+2 Just like in the garage, would be very nice, or maybe I must just make it from '76 Skyhawk...
  6. Nice models there. That Clay Kemp's (?) '70 PM Camaro is very nice!
  7. Räikkönen was very fast in 2007, when he won the world champion... Then next years, 2008 and 2009 he wasn't that fast anymore. Now he drives rally... I'm not a fan of today's F1, in the old days they were nice, but nowadays just boring. But because Räikkönen is finnish driver, many people are talking about him... Model is built nicely, there are no any big mistakes, I like it very much and these are pretty hard to build, because there are lots of tricky parts to install, I have heard, that the spoiler is really hard to get nicely to place...
  8. Haven't done so much for it yet. But here are few pictures from it. '39 Panel Avatar is found from Google "picture search", and I made it bit smaller in photobucket. I like it too.
  9. Nice scratchbuilding! Those inner fenders are looking great, I mean that they are nicely done and fit perfectly with that engine. Great work with it. Can't really wait to see it finished, because it looks so good already. Those wheels are bad, I think and they never could fit to Monza without new inner fenders in the front and new ones in the back also. But that doesn't matter too much.
  10. That detailing is super. It's just like 1:1... This is one kit, I must buy, I always have been a great fan of these Funny Cars, those new ones are not so cool. (Now meaning Top Methanol Funny Cars, because here in Europe, they don't drive Nitro Funnies... ) But your Charger looks very good so far.
  11. Nice style! And that weathering looks very good to me. Engine is very nice too, keep this one going!
  12. Continues.... I have test fitted the rear axle right now. I'm using The Parts Box resin leaf springs, they fit fine and I must just make them little shorter... I removed those Matador's control arms, I must build AMX control arms from scratch... I also fitted the rear tires, they fit fine and front tires are just for mock up. I'm hunting '67 Mustang front axle system, but it seems to be very hard to find one...
  13. COOL!!! Must get that body, it's just so nice. I can remember last summer in Nitro Nationals, Alastaro, here in Finland, there was '59 Cadillac Pro Modified. This one, Badillac. Yours is looking even better, because it's not normal version, it's panel!!! I'm watching this one for sure!!!
  14. I have been thinking of building '95 Volvo 940 station wagon from this kit. Not easy, but we had '95 940 for 7 years... This time, daily drive is '96 Volvo 940... Your model looks really good, haven't seen so much modelers from Sweden here...

    66 Impalla SS

    Really nice SS Impala...! I'm building AMT's '67 Impala SS right now and it's bad kit, if you compare it to this one... What I can see from the pics, that kit looks very great but your model is awesome. Very nice paintjob on it, all body details, like those two flags on the front fenders are very nice. Engine looks very good too, that little weathering is perfect! Interior looks very very good too, and in that first picture, it looks like 1:1 car on Chevrolet Impala '66 poster. Perfect build!
  16. Nice idea to turn it to station wagon! That panel version is not so nice one, I'm building it but it's coming along very slowly... Those wheels don't fit to my eye, but that doesn't matter too much... Engine swap is a good idea also, I sold that new Corvette Engine first, when I got that kit. Great project.
  17. Yes, that looks very good so far! Like the color, it's just perfect to this. Engine detailing is very nice and that stance looks very good right now. Can't wait to see the finished product. It's also nice to see, that someone builds nostalgic styled Hot Rods, customs and so on. It's very great... Keep these coming!
  18. It would be nice to build one of these, but maybe the best basis for this would be AMT's NASCAR Pickup. That is quite close and of course there is lots of thing to build again, but that would be the best choice, resin kits are so expensive that...
  19. That stance is perfect! Color is great and paintjob looks very smooth. Nice job with it. Engine detailing looks very good also, this is the style, I build my '29 Ford Pickup, when I get tires for it... But yours looks very good to me, keep on building!
  20. Here is a little update to you guys! I have sanded that interior "floor" now. It's pretty good, I think, next step is to make those door panels better, the work with them has begun, but maybe tomorrow I'll get something to show from them... I have been thinking of flocking that carpet but I'm not sure yet... Rear axle isn't so simple thing. I borrowed AMT's AMT Matador rear axle and some plasticine to copy two rear axles. Other one is for Javelin. I pushed those rear axle halves to that plasticine and put that to freezer for 15 minutes. When I took it away from there, I took those axle halves away from plasticine and with bondo, I filled those axle molds. In the morning, I took that bondo away from that plasticine and then I took those copied rear axle halves away from the putty "sheet". Glued them together with Araldit and then some bondo and sanding, now it needs some more bondo and sanding... Comments are welcome.
  21. "Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey"! That paintjob looks awesome, I can't say more and that driver is just perfect to the cab... Can't wait to see this one finished, it's just so good looking now already. Must get one of these and build it...
  22. Great looking Mustang! Engine looks good too and that is just perfect style for Mustang. I'm watching this one.
  23. Very nice GTO. But I have a good "trick" to get better pictures. Use background. White is the best, but if the model is white, then use black one. When there is background which is only one color, it's easier to get focused pictures. Also use Super Macro. It's marked with a small flower to some place. That's very good option BUT. You must get something, where you can shore up the camera. For example model box is very good for it. That's the way, I get good pictures, so that would be good to you too. And of course remember good light, then pictures are great!
  24. Ooh, nice and clean. As always! Paintjob is just perfect and that foiling work looks very good... Engine is very nicely detailed, as always. Nice job on it, can't find any mistakes. This kit is good, worth buying and building and you have built it very nicely.
  25. That's cool. Like it, that color is perfect and those tires are just great to this one. That engine is great looking too, now I must get 409" BBC that I use for '32 Ford... Must get it. Yours looks very nice anyways, clean build without any mistakes.
