Lownslow

since im not working i dont have much to look forward to for the day and rather than sit at the computer or the TV i do this lol. rat was a option but i wanted to make it as my definition of hot rod when i hear the word. got some paint on it, only color i had on my mind came in this bottle

ill break this thread if i post what i built this year

nothing fancy aside from the fender chop its gonna be box stock with some white walls. looks better without them dont you agree

ive been wanting this car since i was 10 i payed somewhere around 80$ with no engine a few years ago and built it a little bit after that over the years the chrome faded and overtime i got sick of how it looked and constantly fixing the window so i bagged it and put it away for another few years, last year i dug it out and decided to add a full roof from a 87 monte carlo had the chrome redone, redid the paint, interior and suspension. the engine is out of a earlier GTO with firewall and radiator core from a 65 impala. *music PG13* before After

didnt come out bad for a car that was in somewhat bad shape.not too many mods on this i molded the bumpers and dips,chopped the headlights,mesh grill, had the grill chromed, made the tailight one piece, oppened up the roof louvers, C5 fwd engine, and center console with navigation and digi dash. the window got scratched after assembly the paint is all house of kolors with custom decals *warning music is PG16*

congrats on coming back to the bench

reconditioned motor all done

FWD C5 engine. im not as organized as i am now and i threw out a lot of stuff so i have to make due with leftovers, dude that had this car before me mustve been a clown every part was painted in individual colors the trans was blue and red and you can see the differential colors the original block was purple green and blue with pink valve covers.

finished the 72s interior

spent a good chunk of the day with this car trying to find a engine since i still want it to be FWD im gonna use the old drive train with the newer engine. im also digging for parts to complete the engine compartment and respraying the covers

i had no engine or engine compartment to begin with so this is a improvement the engine is off a GTO diecast firewalls/support off a 65. working on getting a brake booster and radiator.

nice build never seen a kit of this before

sweeet

sorry they dont make snaps of either

ill figure something out im in no rush to mold

what im planning for next year Corvorado rolls over rovers pimp style XJS

finished the interior, it needed a console and i figured might as well bring it into the century with the screen and digital dash

you lost me, reason im asking is because i rather cut the filler and vent after molding

i noticed some of you guys add runners(vents and fillers) during the molding process can i add them after both pieces of the mold are made?

i finally moved into my space, my godmother will be happy to get her dinner table back

took a a few hours considering this was a mess for 2 years lol i filled 3 bags of garbage and a good 10oz of overspray. can you believe this is where i painted my cars still a mess but workable threw out a bit a of paint now i can cast stuff again this is what happens when styrene soaks in airbrush cleaner the whole box absorbed the liquid and pretty much melted everything in it.

90% of the stuff i picked up this year i got from model shows stay away from ebay it ruins the thrill of the hunt
