  4. Thanks John.
  5. Thanks bro. I actually can't wait to lay down that yellow...lol
  6. Nice! Looking forward to some more. I'll be buying this one soon.
  7. Thanks guys. Glenn, that's great man. Hope to see a build from you in one of those styles. As I said, mica silver base for that yellow nail polish in the corner.
  8. What the baby Jesus!!!! A working steering rack??
  9. Body work and paint look awesome!!
  10. So I've been working on this on and off. So far I have smoothed out the body as best as possible, primed in tamiya white, worked on the turbo set up, wheel barrels and also got some suspension work done as well. Here are the pics. To be able to fit the wheels and achieve a lowered and demon cambered look I had to make my own hub and spindle. Parts bin hubs and styrene. What I'm shooting for. I'll be putting down a silver base coat tonight and in a couple days, color via nail polish.
  11. Here's a small update. After color sand and single pass with meguires scratch-x After 3 passes of scratch-x I also added some detail to the back seats. Both sides done and re-primed. Gonna paint them tonight.
  12. Hey, thanks guys. I started polishing this guy up, but I got 2 other projects going as well...haha. Simon,!we sure are spoiled here in Cali...lol Chuck, lots of 60s-70s j-tins look similar to American cars. They were inspired... I'll try to post a pic of the polishing in a bit.
  13. Looks great man. Keep up the great work.
  14. Sweet set up. Ah I don't mind it not having those fine details as they can be added later anyways..
  15. Wow! That's a sweet truck. The way the hood opens is pretty rad man.
  16. Some great work done John. Looking forward to how you tackle the body work.
  17. Good to see this one back. Looking forward to seeing more of it and well with the RB instead if the LS....
  18. Holy bleeeeeeep! That tire detail is insane man. Shoot me a link if you plan on selling some carbs.....
  19. Awesome work on that manifold and carb...keep it going man
  20. It's looking awesome bud.
  21. Soooo today was a nice day, which lead to a fairly nice night before the rain came....haha I took some advice from Raees/dadaman to warm up a box and to put the cleared body into it so it doesn't "blush" up. The results.....well see for yourself. Stayed shiny unlike the first attempt.
  22. Haha, it's a good deal I think. Comes with plenty of goodies. Since I'm up, I started on the turbo set up. Heres what I have in mind.
  23. Thanks Eric, I think I know which car you're referring to. He's a local guy, orange and supercharged. The BBS are just in trial fitting right now, not sure I'm gonna go with these.
