My fav Firebird body style,,,BTW,,those WW2 planes in background are awsome also!

Cool stuff,,I got 41 Woody 2 door/convertable WIP,,kindof dig the woodys

Thats pretty cool,,nice color.

Hey all,,well,,,went into my local hobby store today,,and saw on the shelves,,the new release of the "Bugaboo",,and some of the other retrodeluxe issues,,but NO Ohio George Mustang! So talked to the team member of the store,,and he looked at his supplier web page that he gets his kits from,,and they revised the issue date of the OG Mustang to April 2014. AAAGGGHHH!! Now I dont know if thats really the case everywhere,,but it is at least for him/here. So,,if I can get it online,,or a swap meet I may have to do that. Or if anybody knows where to get it now,,let us know,,well buy ya a cheeseburger!.

Welcome back,,theres alot new in the hobby,,kits,,materials,,folks who enjoy building! Have fun

One kickas@#$ss mopar there!

Hey guys thanks for the info,,and visiting. Yea,,there was a experimenting period around this time of Drag racing thats for sure. I probably wont alter the wheel well placement,,I kindof like the Red car setup,,looks home built out of some privateer drag guys garage that nobodys ever heard of,,I think those type of builds end up being the wildest,,and interesting. I remember somebody on this board a while back built a really highly detailed Daytona Charger FC/Pro-mod type of car,,cant recall who it was but it was an Amazing Build. Ill have to keep lookin at stuff on the web,,BTW these pics are from Vince Putt Page on fotki,,hes got a huge collection of drag race pics,,Im not sure if he was a driver,,or builder? Maybe someone knows who he was /is? But by the time its all said and done,",there will be injection stacks sticking out of the lower windshield on this, a tilt nose frontend.,,,and that Iconic "wing" on the back of it"

Wow,,dig the color,,Im gonna have to try "opening" some trunks+ doors it adds a more real look,,nice job

+1 Ive had good results w/this also

Great looking car,,nice diorama also!

Howdy all,,,I was looking at this AMT kit,,69' Daytona Charger,,and wanted to do something a bit different with it. And I was looking at some late 60's Charger FC/AWB cars on the web,,and ran across these pics of some. Now,,when I look at these pics,,it appears that some of these were no more than stock Chargers { at least the red one,color pic,the other 2 BW pics look like full framed cars} w/some x-tra inner frame/roll bar work,,and its almost like they cut the front clips off and welded/attached ,,somehow,,a FC subframe to the front clip area,,not sure really how they did it,,Ill have to research some more pics and see how they were really attached to front of car. I do have an injected 426 w/stacks ect for this build,,so it may be fun to try this. Heres some pics,,happy building!

Thats way cool,,the backdrop pics worked real well,,if you hadnt mentioned it,,I would have never known it wasnt a real location pic

Wow,,nice ride! I really like the color+ the mag inset painting for the rims

Nice build from a great movie

We salute you and your service,,and welcome to the site!

Sometimes your image size will affect whether or not it will load. And ,, if I want to post something from the web,,Ill download it to my desktop,,and upload to any site,,and I store ALL my pics that Ive taken with my camera{ models ect whatever} and after I load them to my puter,,Ill store them all on thumbdrive storage unit, and a CD ,as well as EVERYTHING on my puter,,just to have a backup in case the puter crashes,,not that it ever has,,but man you dont want to lose yrs of model pics,programs,,virus software,,ect,,ect.

Mistakes? where are those?,,I dont see any,,nice build!

Thanks for the kind words,,ya know,,if I spent some real time on it,,it could be made into a " drivable" car,,the headers would have to re-routed 1st,{ little warm to the front seat riders where they exit now,,lol} maybe some larger tires,,,a windshield of some type. It might work,,thanks for looking.

The valve stem issue,,could be inside the rim mounted? UUUmmm,,,not sure that makes sense. Whichever it is,,its a beautiful ride! Love that injected beast!

Good price on the vendor tables,,I may visit,,thanks for sharing

I would enjoy this one,,but Im in the upper midwest USA,,but would enjoy some pics of the contest cars and such.

Wishing you and her all the best in your time of need.

Yes your right,,its the trailer from the Silhouette! LOL What happened was I built the car yrs ago,,and started on the trailer,,and guess what? The car wouldnt fit in the trailer w/the glass on it! What the? So I looked things over to see if I mis-assembled the trailer,,,and I followed the directions right,,and it just wouldnt fit,,so I walked from finishing the trailer,,,went back a few weeks later,,and thought" "ok,,so what am I gonna do with this"? And I was determined to do something with it,,the kit was nearly 30$,,so I was going to get something out of it whether the mfgr wanted me to or not! lol So grabbed the spare parts bx,,and started sizing stuff ect,,now that I look at it,,I should have saved that caddy engine for something else,,itrs a cool mtr. I guess I could always pop it out and install in something else. You guys are cracking me up with some of the "suggestions" as what it may be. lol I promise to not post such bizzareness in the future,,I thought about it later after posting,,and thought " maybe I shouldnt have posted that,,some or many{for all I know} may not dig such a wacked idea",, Im not too good at "conforming" to conventional approach to some things,,maybe Im the one whos "whacked" lol. Thanks for being tolerant to some of my warped builds! Happy Building!

yea,,it would tread water quite well now that you mention that,,"aqua-rider" lol

Thanks LJ,,Im wondering if anyone will know what the body shell came from? Its from a well known kit from the 60's,,,, starts with an S,,,and ends with a E.
