  2. SERIOUSLY.... some fantastic work going on Bill...
  3. Thanks alot Ken... means alot... I'm 41... and I started building when I was 8 or 9... started back building seriously when I was 35...
  4. Thanks alot fellas... Scott I dont know exactly what scale this engine is supposed to be... I'll check the package when I get home... I've decided I'm gonna use the kit engine, and just try and get it to look as close as I can to the current engines... Thanks again fellas...
  5. Thanks alot fellas, this was a fun build... been thinking about doing another one with some turbos and a vinyl top... we'll see...
  6. Great work Brett... looks real good...
  7. Good stuff Brett.....
  8. Nice looking builds Brett...
  9. You've got this one looking good Mike... those turbos look good up there... and the cowl hood is nice too.. keep it coming...
  10. Oh yeah... I'm liking this one alot Jeff.... I love the look, stance etc. etc. .... Nice touch on the rear slicks..
  11. Wow... just saw this because I was thinking of doing a shop diorama.... until I saw this... great work Randy always impressed with your work...
  12. Thanks fellas.. I really appreciate it... well I got a little time at the bench tonight... been glued to the t.v. with the playoffs on... I got the inner door skins done.. and for the engine I decided to go with the pro sportsman engine block and heads, intake is from the pro stock cutlass kit.. and I took the front engine plate from that kit and modified it by removing and filling in the water jackets.. and modified the water pump to look a little more current... I really wanted to use the ross gibson 762 but there is not enough clearance... I'll do the best I can with what I got.... Thanks for looking and comments welcome.... I really wanted to use this front engine plate from Dirt Modeler... but it wont fit without some modification... Ross Gibson engine is a lot bigger... I drill out the exhaust ports... I've found this makes it alot easier when it's time to make the headers...
  13. Looks good Holmes... you do some great work....
  14. Looks good so far.. Keep it coming...
  15. Just saw this one and I have to say I know you'll do this one justice as always.. Great Work John....
  16. This one is looking like a bad mama jamma .... I love the stance... and your work on it is top notch Leonard...
  17. Thanks fellas for all the kind words... I really appreciate it... well I've got the drviers floor area done, and I added some dzus tabs to the floor area also... I used Clay's Mustang for reference, and R2B2 race cars pics also.. thaks for looking and comments welcome...
  18. Dave... I try to get mine as close as I can ... although I know they are not accurate, I dont use a jig or anything like that.. I mainly just eyeball it and test fit alot before gluing everything in place...
  19. Thanks fellas.. I appreciate it... Bob .. the wheel base on them is close but the pro sportsman chassis is a little short...Dirk I had a Ross Gibson engine lined up for this one but I may have to use a kit engine as a starting point the gibson engine is too tall, wont clear the hood.. well I have a small update... I got the rear coil springs made up and mocked up on the car.. I used the coil spring kits from Scott.. I used the rear end from the pro stock cutlass kit with 4 link brackets from Dirt Modeler... I also added a little styrene to the bottom of the front bumper to give it a lower look... thanks for looking and comments welcome....
  20. Wow... this is looking great Chuck...
  21. Great job Nick... your car turned out great...
