  1. I picked up a couple, to build replicas of my old 1:1... I got one for just over 80.00 plus shipping, started- engine glued together. Then I got another just over 100.00 new unstarted. I have seen them sell upwards of 125.00 though.
  2. LOVE IT!!! excellent work!

    70 Cuda

    looking great so far! love the engine!!! will be watching this for sure.. Mine is boxed up and on the shelf until I can focus more time on it.
  4. KustomResin is Rdsxfan2 on ebay....GREAT product, Great service. Ive got over 100 hoods and bodies and parts from him. excellent to deal with.
  5. Hang tight, and check the Scale Resin casting page on facebook. David Reyez is working on a mold for it, with 3 different grilles.
  6. Here is what I use to create the "wrinkle" valve covers. The texture isn't too unbelievable to small scale.
  7. I missed out on a resin Camaro Convertible tonight..... Never seen it before. does anyone know the caster, or know where I can locate one?
  8. LOTS of guys are doing it over at Layitlow lowrider forums, both there and the facebook page. Jeroen DeVeries is the most well known, with his "Real Deal" wireless, all hidden electronics. He has also done a few more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWefh4Wph-k "next level" bed dancer Nissan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ovt-yveI2o fully functional Cadillac http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYUKU01GWpY&feature=c4-overview&list=UUfhFsr3MVZ5t8Z0fqQIH7lg
  9. While waiting on odds and ends to dry, and parts to come in for my `Cuda replica build; I decided to start a quick project, that I can finish in a fairly timely manner. I picked up a set of these Re-issue MPC trikes a few days ago, and decided that the Milk Trike would be a good subject for a fairly quick build. The body comes in 2 separate parts, so I started by putting them together, and getting rid of the seams. Not overly impressed with the kit tires, so I dug through the stash and found a nice set of meaty Mickey Thompsons.... much better! I will update as I progress. Any input/critisisms are welcomed and much appretiated.
  10. Sorry for all the small updates. Pulleys, Belt, and fan are all on. As well as the fuel line run from the pump. Just working on the "t" fitting for the carbs, and fuel filters. Also got a bit more work done on the interior, wood decals in place, and etch pedals.
  11. where abouts? im in Edmonton lots for work, and back and fourth from Calgary.... wouldn't mind checking them out.
  12. There have already been a few that have sold higher....
  13. already got my 1/2 case pre-ordered!!! Im a die hard chevy guy..... but I love the new `Stang.... and the Coyote 5.0l
  14. I have to say a HUGE thanks to Andy (zaina) for machining me these incredible caps, and pulleys! After receiving these parts I am 10X more motivated to work on this project. I started by adding the pulleys and making alt. brackets.... no floating alts here
  15. excellent start! looks like he did a wicked job slammin it on bags, cant wait to see this build progress!!
  16. There is one small Locally owned shop here.... His prices are a bit higher, but I do support him. I buy allot online, but I always stop in and see Jack ( the owner) and grab kits, glue, putty.
  17. Copos have no VIN #.... so therefore It cannot be insured/plated. I have heard of 1 case where the guy bought a '13 Copo and a 2013 SS , and was "body swapping" to make it street legal...ish
  18. Home from work for a week, time to get some work done. Started by wiring the engine. Time to build some collectors and mate the exhaust up
  19. I stay away from Hot rod mag... I really like Overkill, rod kulture, and ol Skool rods.
  20. WIth a bit of work these Cutlass snap kits can be made into a really nice full detail kit. a good friend David Irwin (minidreams) started on this one, and I acquired it from him. He used toe Revell 72 Cutlass convertible chassis, etc. as it is the same wheelbase.
  21. just got these in, been searching for a Milners Coupe for a LONG time.... finally found one untouched also got some vynil for my 1:1 Hemi Magnum R/T fender Hash marks and wood for around the gauges and door switch plates.
  22. Local guy had a bunch of kits on consignment at the Hobby shop..... brought a few home, lol Im a sucker for a good deal.
  23. I love wagons too! got a 1:1 Hemi Magnum wagon, and on the farm to eventually be rebuilt a 62 Nova wagon.
  24. yep VW notchback. been looking for one forever! scored a heck of a deal on it.
