i would like to see the american motors amx return. i believe that was a johan model either in 1/12 or 1/18 scale

here are some finished pics

my first try at polyurathane pearl sherwood green by house of color.

here is a ride height mock up with the drop i started with in the beginning. i've decided to go with a sherwood green from house of color. it will be my first attempt with a polyurethane.

thanks for the tips guys and i'll probably experiment with the beads and things at micheals today with my fifty percent off coupon.

i was leaning towards rb motion and thought they looked real professional. i just need this one application. i'll check out protech braided lines for sure. do they have a t connector for the coolant over flow to the intake manifold?

where can i get some fittings and braided line? i know there's detail masters, rb motion, hobby design and tuner model manufacturing. are there any more alternatives? i need some for a revell 1/12 mustang, looking for radiator hoses and some positive crankcase lines from valve covers to supercharger and air intake. any suggestions would be appreciated.

movin on again with the interior

another dry fit today with the motor.

a little update to make sure every thing fits

just started this kit and noticed how high it sits so i lowered it by taking off a little on the shock towers and the rear springs, and i removed a portion of the nubs where the front suspension mounts to the frame.

scalemotorsports soon to be released wheel, photo etch and carbon fibre kit . maybe in january

recently the revell vw convertible was a dissapointment.

i was looking around for some aftermarket wheels for this kit and found out that the guy over at ebay who sells the torque thruster american racing rims in 1/8 scale plans to make up some resin wheels for this kit . the 19" torque thrusters for a steve mcqueen bullit build of this kit would sell like crazy.

finishing touches with some mild custom alterations shaved door handles,body,wheels,brakes,and carbuerator.

there's definitly no lack of detail here and you are on your way to being one of the best here on this forum. don't get discouraged over the lack of detail in these 1/25 scale auto kits compared to that of model planes.your hemi dart looks great and your added detail is amazing.looking forward to more of your builds.

gettin around to this project and will paint over black chrome with some chrome paint.9%20revell%20nova/IMGP1134.jpg

some more progress with some tinted windows[img

these are some wheels that mrc released back in the 90's

here is a site for bigger hemi engines i'm not sure if they have what you are looking for or not. http://ecsvr.com/fpm/ShopExd.asp?id=74

recent build thought i would share

i definitely will work on trying to achieve a lower stance in the front on final completion.

probably will go with a white primer and then shoot it with boyds dark yellow
