  1. Boy am I glad I stumbled upon this thread!! I have a WHACK of OG 63 Nova chrome I need redone as well as some Johan Cadillac stuff..... id better start stripping and fixing it up
  2. 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
  3. Great build! Was my top pick @ Bridgecon, love the details.
  4. Looks great, saw it in person at Bridgecon last weekend. Excellent build!
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. wow, he has scenes unlimited, Hoppers Bazar, Eight81One , c1 models stuff that he is recasting.........
  8. 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.
  9. I was actually just thinking of casting it up the other day....
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
  16. 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.....
  17. 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.
  18. excellent work! Question - what camera are you shooting your pics with?
  19. I haven't actually. Never thought to check with him, thanks!
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
