  1. It sucks... most people just remember that Centerline made 14-15" wheels...... people dont realize all of the other lines and brands associated with them, from Truck wheels to 20+ " billet wheels. Definitely a huge loss in the automotive world .... unfortunately I wasnt able to get another set of 20" Smoothies for my next project
  2. Great build! Was my top pick @ Bridgecon, love the details.
  3. Looks great, saw it in person at Bridgecon last weekend. Excellent build!
  4. Im fed up with shipping as a whole lol. I live in Canada, thus cant get basically anything here... it all has to come from the states. Last week I ordered a 5 gallon tank and 2 compressors for my air suspension in my 67 impala lowrider 1:1 project...... Cost was $324.00 Cdn and shipping was $23.00 CDN,for a parcel weighing almost 25lb and 2.5' x 3' x2' box. I fully expected to pay brokerage/duty and taxes..... but nothing, no charges. This week I ordered 4 air bags and brackets.... a box 1.5' x 1.5' x 1.5x and weighing only about 10lb...... cost was $167.00 shipping was $75.00 and I got hit with $66.14 in brokerage/duty/ and taxes...... seems like the game just changes daily, whenever they decided to charge you..... also BOTH boxes were shipped from the SAME LOCATION.
  5. Ive got a bunch of CS stuff, the quality is amazing and only gets better each time. He is Located in Calgary Alberta, Canada but his US re-mailer is in PA
  6. wow, he has scenes unlimited, Hoppers Bazar, Eight81One , c1 models stuff that he is recasting.........
  7. Casey`s wheels and parts are super clean! really nicely cast. Ive got a bunch of different wheel sets from him over the past few years, never been disapointed.
  8. I was actually just thinking of casting it up the other day....
  9. I think i have a mold somewhere of the 4 door panels from when the 4 door was first molded..... send me a pm in a couple of days if I dont reply. Im not quite sure where I put the mold since I moved into my new place.
  10. thanks for the suggestion, Ive got a couple of them also, as Snake said.... not quite close enough for a stock grill, also too small for the opening. I may just adapt a MCG AMT 67 photo etch set.
  11. I know he has been a bit bogged down and is working really hard to get orders cast and out. Ive dealt with Jeremy lots and a couple orders have taken a bit but always well worth it.
  12. FAB resin is the grill I have.... its the hideaway however still has the SS badge. havent found anything yet that doesnt have the SS badge on it.
  13. Im building Kindig-it Designs Mike Hess 67 Camaro. the interior in the revell kit is way way closer, as well as the dash etc. Ive already got the correct resin grill, and a few other parts for the Revell kit. I do have the AMT kit also, but id have to swap out the whole interior, as the door panels are wrong also and its got a molded tub.
  14. Thanks for the offer David, I actually just got a reply back from FAB , and he had pulled the hood off the site because the mold was deteriorating... however he is going to cast me up a couple and get them to me. thanks again!
  15. I know that FAB resinworks lists it in their coming soon section, but I don't think that has been updated since the 67 kit came out a few years ago.....
  16. Anyone know of a source for a flat stock hood for the Revell 67 Camaro? only kit options so far are the raised vent, and Nickey stinger.... Im starting a replica build and require just the flat hood. If I cannot find anything aftermarket I may have to try and modify an old AMT kit hood I guess.
  17. excellent work! Question - what camera are you shooting your pics with?
  18. I haven't actually. Never thought to check with him, thanks!
  19. Anyone know of a supplier for Toyo Proxes Tire Decals? I am about to start on a replica of a local Vette and require some. Ive found every other tire maker..... but not toyo.
  20. I threw my hat in the ring.... might aswell, Love Novas, have a couple hundred nova kits, lol. Im going to do a prostreet 63 Hardtop Orignal AMT annual kit.
  21. I honestly did not intend to ever buy this kit.... I had a 2011 and loved that body..... I really dont care for the new style.... but I was given this kit as a gift, and as it turns out with some tweaks I dont fully dislike the car anymore, lol
  22. Been busy with work and havent had much time to work on this project, However I have started to Modify and reshape the Clearly Scale Challenger spoiler. Im still not sure if it is going to work or not, but It needs allot more work. I also decided to use the stock engine and dug out a procharger, Ill use a clearlyscale resin engine in the next one I build. I also dug out some Hobby Designs 325/35/20 tires as the Aoshima tires that came with the BBS wheels werent wide enough for the rear. So far I am liking how it is coming together. The wider rears look a heck of allot better Not sure who cast the procharger unit, I am thinking it is an older VCG resins.
  23. I got the passengers side skirt fitted, and started playing around with a ClearlyScale.com Resin spoiler meant for the 2009+ Challenger.... If I can mod it to fit the curve and look right it might just work. I also started looking more into the decals that I had Made for the 2010 SS kit.... the thick red center stripe might work as well as the side hockey stick stripe. I, still undecided if I will procharge the stock engine or use a ClearlyScale resin engine.
  24. Thanks guys, like I said all opinions, and criticisms are welcome. I hadn't really compared the old stripes to the new hood, but after looking closer the shape of them won't look right on the new hood.
  25. I received an AMT 2016 Camaro kit as an early Christmas present..... Figured I'd dive right in. Fitted it with a set of Aoshima 20" BBS and started modding the 2010 Camaro side skirts and Valence to fit.... Need to make it more aggressive looking. Also toying with the idea of using a Clearly Scale Supercharged LS engine or possible Pro-Charging the stock engine. Not 100% sure yet. I had Keith Marks make me some red and some orange stripes for the 2010 SS kit a few years ago when it was released so If I can figure out a way to make that god awful hood look better I may use the red stripes and paint the car black. Any Input or Criticisms welcomed.
