MAN I IVE BEEN OUT SO LONG I WANT IN NOT SURE WHAT KIT YET BUT I HAVE SOME IDEAS
-
Scratchbuilt a working wheel lift, still need to build the mount and the hydraulics, but when done it'll raise and lower, it'll pivot, and it'll extend and retract.
Of course there not finished products, they still need cleaned up and smoothed.
THIS LOOKS REAL GOOD I WORK IN A REPO COMPANY AND I LOOK AT THIS ALL DAY LOOKS GOOD ..IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A KIT LIKE THIS BUT I GUESS BUILDING FROM STARCH IS THE WAY TO GO MAYBE I'LL BUILD A DYNAMIC SYSTEM ON A TRUCK NOT SURE ..LOOKS GOOD KEEP IT UP
-
Wow, I thought I was the only one who went eons between updates! Did you already paint this kit? If not, it lends itself well to Dark Reds or Blues.
LOL MAN I KNOW I HAVE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON ANOTHER KIT THAT I WANT TO POST UP SOON ....I HAD PICS AND READY TO GO BUT IT WAS THOSE DAYS WHERE THE FORUMS WHERE HACKED
-
Looking good so far.
THANK YOU
-

-
A little more progress for today. I got the motor installed into the chassis.
I got the tires mounted and the wheels detailed.
I'm undecided about these. These are the knockoffs for the kit wheelscovers and maybe I'll mockup one to see if I like it.
More to come.....

The decals will be very fragile and will more than likely already be hairline cracked (mine were....fresh from the box). As for coloration, paint it anything but Fords Hokey 'Enviorn-car green Scheme' (the stock paint job on this car).
THANKS FOR HEADS UP I THINK I WOULD WANT IT TO LOOK MORE LIKE A SLEPPER CAR . I THINK THE STOCK PAINT JOB IS TO FLASHY IT REMINDS ME OF LIKE A 80'S TRUCK PAINT SCHEME. I'LL KEEP UPDATING YOU HAVE PICS OF YOURS? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT
-
Those front wheels look like they're actually supposed to be the back sides of another wheel.
Dam your right. ... I just took a look at instructions I never had an inner wheel before
-
I like this kit im think im going to pick this up as well i love that body color how you do the white walls i have never tried it . good looking build
-
This is going to be the first car i build and document should be fun still an armature builder be gentle lol but i love criticism if it teaches me new ways . i'm going to do pretty stock to the box except for the color not sure if im going to do the decals .
i cant decide on the rims not sure on the brand i'll call it rear and front i'm kind of leaning towards the rears what you think ? i'll keep updating -
not a problem
just take it one kit at a time and you'll get there
also keep in mind that we're all a good buncha guys here
so if your kit comes with wheels you dont like trade em of
if it has the wrong engine....trade it
or maybe it came with some slicks someone needs and you can trade em for a blower
and so on and so forth
Hey diymirage
Yeah man no problem i'll will enjoy and provided thanks i have some kits wating but this rain is killing me
i still havent steped it into the mods im still in the stock out the box level but i want to get into the mods alot more
thanks for the tips and the help

hey walther
welcome aboard
some of what you have asked for (turbos/intercoolers) are scratchbuild
however, there is an australian company (i think it is called the partsbox) that does sell resin cast turbo kits
as for most of the the other stuff (engines and go fast goodies) even thought they are sold seperatly most of those can be obtained by buying and building kits that can be build in several ways and saving the extra parts
for instance, revell has a 1969 dodge charger that comes with both the stock 440 magnum and a race 426 hemi in it
there is also a modified stocker 1953 ford F100 truck that has the stock flathead engine and a desoto firedome hemi
the desoto has 2 different intake setups so when i build that kit i slapped the flathead in the truck
(the velocity stacks were optional parts from a mustang kit)
then i build the desoto with the fuel injection as a display engine
and finally i used the log manifold from the desoto on the 426 hemi cuda
so in short
keep building those models and the parts will show up eventually
if your in more of a hurry do "junkyard" searches on ebay
that should be your cheapest bet
also, there is the wanted area here on the forum where you can trade of those parts for parts you like better
one final suggestion
look for a 1970 dodge coronet superbee prostreet kit
(the green or yellow car on the box)
youll find some awesome goodies in there
THANKS FOR THE TIPS I GUESS I JUST HAVE TO BUILD UP MY COLLECTION A BIT . FUNNY I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE LEARNING ABOUT ENGINES BUILDING MODELS . THANKS ALOT I THINK I SAW THE SUPER FOR LAST TIME I WAS AT THE HOBBY SHOP I'LL LOOK INTO GETTING MY HANDS ON IT

That's a sweet paint job!
RacinRay88, an airbrush isn't really as hard to use as one might think. Sure, it takes a little practice to get the best results, but if you can rattle can, you can use an airbrush. I remember the first time i used one. It was on a Palmer (?) 1:32 scale '32 Ford. Painted Testors sapphire blue. Yeah, it had runs and mottling, but it turned out well enough that I never turned back. In fact, the next one I did (an AMT '32 Ford) was not only airbrushed, but was painted a custom mixed color, something you can't do with rattlecans. get yourself a basic inexpensive airbrush to start with, trust me, you'll like it.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS MAN I TO HAVE NOT DONE ANY AIR BRUSH KIND OF INTIMIDATED. DO YOU HAVE A DUAL ACTION ? WELL I RE EDITED SINCE I SAW YOU DID . WELL WHEN PAINTING WITH AIRBRUSH IS INDOORS POSSIBLE OR IS IT STILL A HAZARD LIKE SPRAY BOTTLES
-
Good job man , I'm also new to the forums i like this kit its a nice to began with i bit more then i could chew on my 1st build . I'm still learning tons of stuff if you have any ?'s feel free to ask what model kit is this ?

Thanks for switching out the Falcon for the Olds for me, this is what I will be building. One of my resin kits. The pics are of a mock up, its not started yet. I am a pro street junkie so that might be the direction it goes in, not sure yet. Nor on the engine choice, I did not cast the orig. kit engine but could use the engine out of the 66' 442 donor kit. The engine I sat down in the mock up with the 4 side draft webers is a DOHC Hemi,,,I guess that would be a crime against nature. Will post more pics when I figure out which way its going. <img src="http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
