I got the grille and bumpers installed today. I was going to use the kit supplied decals for the marker lights and emblems but I may order the MCG photoetch set instead. I've never used any photoetched emblems but I think I'll give it a shot.

I've never built a big rig model but this build is making me want to. Looking sweet!

I may have witnessed a few races out there at one time or another.

Thanks Joe. I would love to build a replica of my camaro but it will likely never happen. My first hurdle is the body. I would have to convert a Z-28 to a sport coupe. My scratchbuilding and bodywork skills are pretty minimal at this time. I could really nail the details though since I know every square inch of that car like the back of my hand.

Body is painted and on the chassis hopefully for good. Next project will be to make a couple fuel pressure regulators and a throttle cable bracket so I can get the underhood buttoned up. Still have a few more little details to add underhood aswell. Thanks for looking.

I like where this is going. Looking forward to more as it progresses.

Thanks Joe. That was the first place I tried since it's only 5 minutes from my house. I had no luck anywhere local and it seems to be out of stock all the places I looked online also.

Hope to have an update on this one soon. Body is ready for paint but I can't find any TS-13 anywhere. I know Tamiya paint is a little tricky and would hate to use other clear and have an issue.

I saw the bruiser in your avatar pic. I miss my bruisers! I'm sure I'll build another one someday.

I thought that was you. Do you have any crawlers anymore? I sold the bruisers for race car parts. I was thinking about getting another one but I really need to try and just focus on one or two hobbies instead of 10.

Super nice work Joe. Your name seems really familiar to me. Were you on RCCrawler.com maybe?

It was looking killer before but now it's completely over the top. Paint looks great!!!

I grew up always hearing stories about people wishing they had their first car back. When I ended up with an 85 Camaro with a 2.8 V6 I never imagined keeping it for long. Now 16 years and many engine and trans combos later it's still sitting in the garage. Not sure if I'll never sell it becuase I love it or I couldn't stand to lose that much money. LOL

Looks awesome with the black wheels!

Cool. Thanks alot. What is your screen name over on YB? I'm radialtireking over there. Here's my full size ride at the YB nats.

Would you be interested in selling a couple? I have one on my 1:1 from running at the YB nats. It would be cool to putone on a couple of my models I'm working on.

Digging the YB windsheild banner!

Awesome! It could easily pass for a real car. Great model and photography!

Digging the gulfstream! 2 thumbs up!

Here's some pics of a few of mine. Oct 66 (67 model year) Coppertone deluxe stingray. I bought this bike when I was 12 at a flea market. It was in very bad shape and missing most of the correct pieces. I restored it last winter. 66 black fastback. All original except rear tire. 67 coppertone ramshorn fastback. All original except cables. 68 campus green fastback This is my rider. 68 campus green slik chik This one is for the wife. I have a few others I'm working on and some BMX bikes I'll post later.

Thanks for the link. I have to see what I have for pics on my home computer.

Didn't see a bicycle thread. I'll have to look for it this evening and post up a few pics.

I wouldn't say I spend too much but i do spend alot of money on anything that has wheels. I have a pretty large collection of models, die cast, hot wheels, and 60's Schwinn bicycles. Not too mention my low 8 second camaro or my small block S10 cruiser. I'm fortunate to have a good job and no kids(yet).

This is one of my favorite builds. Can't wait to see some updates!

Awesome job on the bottle brackets!
