For one of mine I am going to try to build the 67 Plymouth Belvedere GTX from Tommy Boy. I am going to do it as the car toward the end not the nice one:)

So who wants to pick up a jeep commando and the snow plow for me? I dont live anywhere close to one of these

I just seen the preview and thought it looks good. I enjoy car movies weather they are stupid or not. One thing I like about all the fast and furious movies is all the action with cars. Oh and Jordana Brewster

That kit is the wrong body style, I think What I am looking for is a FJ-55 I also added a dodge to the original post.

I am trying to find a few kits but am having problems. First one is a 1970 Ford F-100 pickup. I have found a 72 resin kit on ebay but it has the wrong grill. Second I am trying to find a 1967 Toyota land cruiser. Third is a 1950 dodge truck. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help!!

He is doing the car from Highwaymen. That will work diymirage.

Thanks all, Oh and I am far from finished, I still have to find a trailer, rims, tires and a few other accesories. I might start another soon..............I am thinking Snow plow!!

I have been wondering what kind of lights and wiring/batterys people use when making cars lights work and for diorama lights. I am thinking about making working lights on a car and I want my first diorama to have some lighting too.

One of my Favorite movies!!!!

I got the decals on and a few other touch-ups finished. Here how it sits now!!

Well Here she is so far, I have to put on a few decals and finish painting a few things. I am going to put on a headache rack and once I find a trailer I will add air lines. I am also going to buy better rims and tires once I find a good set. Getting closer to being done!!

So only 8 people would be interested in having a chance at winning a 1 year subscription to Model Cars Magazine?

I knew that, But I do not use a screen saver.

That is SEEEEEXY!!!

Here is a pic of my background. My screen saver is currently a slideshow of my custom knives. Soon I will have pics of models as soon as I complete some:)

Here are some progress pics. I have a lot more work to do. There is some parts just sitting on it now for fitment.

Thanks guys, your good words are pure encouragement. I have a lot more done, I will take a few pics a little later today and post them up. I am still trying to find rims and tires to replace the junk that came with it. I was given a few sites to look at but am not sure what rims go with what tires.

Ok a little more details to answer your questions, Yes any movie or tv show, heck even cartoons. As long as could be watched on a tv. As for a time frame, if there is enough interest I was thinking about starting it sometime in December and ending say on May 31 2011.
