  1. hmm...can't see it that well. Upload to photobucket?
  2. WOW! Love that engine, so precise and perfect. I wish i had a cnc machine i want to get a v10 made for a project.
  3. Looks pretty nice. I did this kit in flat black but i converted mine to rc car, i didn't want to use the blower that was in the kit so i got a aftermarket one. I also used the wrong clear lol.
  4. Update! I have now fully smoothed the tailgate of that lip and moulded number plate, i then skinned with body filler to make sure i got smooth and i had so its all good. Wasn't expecting these to come yet... 20" aluminium wheel sleeves, they are much wider then the stock wheels. Should i use these rims inside them? They are rims from a old xmods rc car so a new set of rims is pretty easy to come by. Sorry for the glare on pics.
  5. Great job on the headers and the paint. Do you use real car paint? Iv only been using tamiya right now and its not so good.
  6. Wow that is some nice bodywork you have done there. Loving the huge bowtie, nothing says that its a chevy more then that lol.
  7. Thanks for the replies guys. I have to say that i find diecast eaiser to work on because i don't have to worry about the paint stripper melting the metal and there is less stuff to go wrong like snapping of pieces but plastic has its upsides too, eaiser to sand moulding lines and eaiser to find replacment parts. I think this is just going to be a 1 off just for model car shows and stuff as i got it for free, i do prefer working with plastic though.
  8. Hi guys, new to the forum so i may as well start with a bang. So i was at a mates house and i saw this car in a box in the corner of the room and he just said i could have it which was good for me but i have no idea what company made it. The plan is to make it street race car style but still keep the muscle look. This was it when i got it. First thing was to remove that "bird" emblem when i think it looks more like a aeroplane and sand away that lip on the hood. Holes filled and front skinned just in case i missed something while sanding. The stock...motor? looks more like a watering can lol. I was going to replace with a 426 hemi but iv decided to put a GM Z06 engine in it (once i get the kit). Hood primered and poor quality bumpers and grill removed. Just trying out a colour and decide i like this green (tamiya light) but if this cars going to be unique the paint has be be unique too. The boot and hood took a while to sand as its enamal paint so i had enough and did not want too spend ages sanding the body so...paint stripper was the way to go. Iv ordered some pegasus wheel sleeves to make the wheels much wider, give them offset, and a little bigger then the stock wheels with tyres on. Basicaly you glue your model car rims into them but i cant decide....should i use the stock wheels with the sleeves or should i use some 5 pole rims? Also got a new number plate with decals coming so im sanding the molded one down smooth for the new one to be glued or screwed on for realism and im sanding the body of all imperfections and molding lines. Updates soon.
