  1. This looks very interesting can not wait to see progress............
  2. I did not get much of anything done on this over the holidays, I came across another project that took all my time... the 1/16th scale firebird, doing a full off custom lowrider and that took all my time. I did last night get an over head console and the pattern for the headliner done.
  3. Thanks guys, that may be it for a bit, at least till Christmas. I just got my final work schedule in and I will be working very long days straight thru the 23 of December. I will be getting almost two weeks off with pay from Christmas to the 3rd of Janauary and I plan to get this thing if not near completion at least the final wiring, plumbing, and a lot of color on this baby. I want to see it completed soon, then I will jump on the transportor and get that thing well underway.
  4. I have not forgotten about the build, just this time of year my company gets a lot of ads in and I am slammed, plus the landlord of the house we are renting decided to do an extreme makeover of the house on the outside, new paint gutters and a new roof, the only thing is I work graveyard so no sleep for a week!!!!!! did get some primer on the parts, starting some to see color if only in primer.....
  5. layered polystyrene hope to sand down to get that dish look in the end of the tanks.......
  6. cut down and capped tank....
  7. Thank you guys, thanks for checking it out.
  8. Very impressive just with the hinge work, I can see this will be very very interesting...
  9. I am with all of you guys, live an learn, like if we all had bought $100.00 in bitcoin in 2010, right now we could retire and possibly buy a franchise of Hobby Lobby.......arggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  10. Decided to try my had at making a tank from this kit instead of stealing the tank from the California hauler kit....Just gonna cut it down and put caps on each end, should not be too hard....
  11. Oh cool yes thank you very much. I would rather have the real engine however, but could not pass up on the price of the kit.....
  12. Thank you for the reply, that makes sense. I think Ill build it then as a box stock slump builder then. Again thank you.
  13. Hello, I have a question about this kit. I picked it up at thrift store and was about to build it when I noticed that the engine looks to be a v-8. Now I am not a Ferrari expert, however I do know that they are well known for their v-12s? Is this an under sight for Monogram? or did Ferrari actually have a v-8 in this particular car? All google searches I get are of a really nice v-12, so I am actually beginning to believe it is a short fall for this kit and a way to make a cheaper kit to produce.
  14. getting more detail on the engine, I am not an expert on semi's and semi engines, just going off of reference pics, if something is off let me know so I can correct it.....like i had no idea they did not have spark plugs and spark plugs wires till someone told me.....so I am green on semi engine details.
