  1. O. M. G!! ??
  2. Superbee will be nice to have back in the lineup. Would be better if they had the pitchfork hood instead of the flat hood with scoops. I know Harts makes one but last time I bought 2 of them, one was so warped it snapped in half trying to straighten it and the other one was warped as well but not as bad. I may buy a Cyclone and 2-3 of the Duallys and definitely 2-3 of the Superbee.
  3. 1st pic is directly in front of me, other 2 are off to the right of me, behind me is an open garage area.
  4. One piece of advice, you’ll want to wait until last to install the front subframe otherwise you’ll have trouble getting the body and everything to go together properly
  5. Gonna blackout the hood or go body color?
  6. Those seats look awesome, the 3 tone makes them pop!!
  7. Thank you sir, voted ??
  8. Tried to vote from my phone, signed into my account and all I saw White a white page. Won’t let me cast my vote. Oh well, I’ll be interested to watch when it starts.
  9. This bit set. Anything smaller than 1/16th I use a pin vise or my fingers.
  10. I use this one with DeWalt 1/4 drive bits. https://www.harborfreight.com/4v-cordless-14-in-screwdriver-with-integrated-flashlight-kit-with-4-insert-bits-and-wall-charger-64313.html
  11. Ahhhh yes… good ol UNreliable resin ?
  12. That color looks amazing on there!! But I may be a little bit biased ?
  13. Yes sir they are decals.
  14. I saw this along with a few of the new releases earlier this afternoon at HL but just couldn’t bring myself to pay that much for a reissue of a kit that’s been out for years.
  15. I’d go with Centerlines. I love this kit even with the flaws of the previous one(orange car on box) this is my favorite year of Camaro from 70-73. Heres one I built recently.

    Olds Hurst

    I had an 85 Olds Cutlass in that color that had T-tops and bucket seats/console shifted. Was a rolling shell when I bought it, dropped a nice 350 Chevrolet in it and had a blast for awhile. What color did you use on this one?
  19. Kinda looks like my 79 Ghia Coupe that’s been sitting here for 32 years, guy bought it from me and it’s been sitting in the same spot ever since. I’ve been trying to get it back but the guy is never around to talk to him ?
  20. I used to see those highly detailed builds and think to myself “I’m going to do that on my next project “ I have never been to an NNL or any other kind of show, but living vicariously through the pictures that others post have kept me “in the loop” so to speak. I have tried new thing and some have been a success while some have not. I used to build OOB but now I try to do something different with each build, whether it’s wheels, wiring, or paint. While I was/am still amazed by the quality and level of detail, I have also accepted the limitations of my skills. I’m sure while there are several builders, both young and older, who can build an Uber detailed kit, there are just as many who stay within their “comfort zone “
  21. My biggest blunder was in my teenage years I was building a Morgan Sheppard nascar Monte Carlo. I painted it in our pole barn garage that used a wood heater. I sat it on a bench about 6 feet away from the heater, came back an hour later to a melted blob. Live and learn ?‍♂️
  22. Yep!! Been there, done that, numerous times!! Sold my entire collection a few years back(close to 400 unbuilt kits and probably 50-75 built ups) all of my resin parts, paints , etc. because I was trying to finish my 1:1 Firebird project. Then I went to a car show and bought some Mopar kits at the swap meet because they were cheap. Now here I am 5 years later, Firebird is long gone and I have about 100 unbuilt kits and 25 built ones. Lesson learned, kits are way cheaper and easier to build than a 1:1 ?
