  1. Nice one Chuck!! That is toooo cool!! Love it!
  2. Nice job Mike! What's next?
  3. Go after it! Like someone's signature on here says..."every model is practice for the next one" (or something like that ). It's true though. Good luck to ya!!
  4. Holy "beeeeeep"! That thing is awesome! VERY nice job! .........WOW!!!
  5. Now see....that looks good!! Nice job on that Chevelle!! How did your front end turn out? The small block and headers are from AMT's '33/'34 Ford Tudor Sedan and also their '34 Ford 5 window coupe. I love these engines. Weiand aluminum intake, Weiand air cleaner, Edelbrock valve covers, nice headers, but the best thing for me is it has "Camel-hump" heads!! Perfect for muscle car builds!
  6. I'm painting it Grabber Yellow with Black down low below the body line (kinda like the SS cars did). This is how my buddy wants to do his 1/1 car. I know, I know....Grabber Yellow is a Ford color but it's the perfect shade for what my buddy wanted and what I wanted for my '40 Ford pickup that I'm building right now also. Convenience is good!
  7. Nice! I love seeing the "thinkin' outside of the box" stuff!
  8. Thanks for the suggestion Steve. That's the way I was thinking about going with the turnsignals. Great minds think alike! I already fixed the chassis up. I noticed that problem right away. Thanks for watching and for any tips/suggestions you might have.
  9. I tend to like the older stuff and I just saw this one for the first time less than 10 minutes ago. I love it!!
  10. If we're talking about full-size cars now, the windshields are the same on the '55-'57 cars. The only differences would be hardtop to sedan.....that sort of thing.
  11. I love the box art on that one! How cool is that?!!
  12. As previously mentioned, the only build-up of this car that I've seen that had a decent looking butt had taillights and a rear bumper from the Modelhaus, so I ordered the rear bumper, rear taillight lenses and the front bumper/grille assy from them. The front bumper/grille assy is almost identical to the kit-supplied piece but there are a couple of differences. 1) the bumper is opened up where the turn signals are as the kit-supplied one is not. The Modelhaus' version does not have turn signals in the holes so I will need to come up with something there. 2) the fitment is much better and 3) the chrome is of much better quality and there is no annoying mold seams like the kit-supplied one has. First we'll fiddle around with the taillights as this is what I'm most anxious to see how it looks. I've got a little bit of time into some body filler and sanding and more body filler and a little more sanding...but I've got it pretty close for tonight. I'm going to shoot some primer on it and take another look and probably finish it up next time I'm at the table. I'll also do some foiling to the horizontal piece of trim that goes across the taillight lens and add reverse lights so they'll look even better than they do now. Anybody that knows this kit can vouch though that this is a MAJOR improvement over the kit-supplied taillights. I'll post some pics when it's all ready to go and then we'll move onto the front of the car. Let me know what ya think!!.....
  13. Tamiya's '66 Bug is pretty nice.
  14. Nice work Tom! It's lookin' great!
  15. What kit is that? That thing is sick! I had a 1:1 '86 Silverado short-wide 2wd pickup that was slammed about 12 years ago. I miss that thing!
  16. Yeah, I don't facebook either.
  17. VERY well done but.....MODEL!!!
  18. This should be interesting...... I'm tuned in!!
  19. Hey John, you got any gluebombs to show us? Beautiful as usual!!

    That looks nice. I like it!
  21. Thanks Tyler. This kit builds up pretty nicely. I'm just taking things over the top as usual!
