    Happy spring all,,finally getting warmer so just gettin a few things off the bench. This is I believe a 1990's early 2000's Chevy kit from the AMT Hot Trucks 3 pack kit. But he wanted a Hemi,,so,,let it be. Got this at a swap meet years ago,,5$ glue blob in a ziplock bag,,1/2 built and painted. I added some different tires+ rims, Put A HEMI Hi-rise duel carb from the junk leftovers bx,,,made it kindof a street/strip truck. Would also make a good pulling truck if I ran the headers upright thru the hood. Painted w/hardware store paint,,and hand painted rest. One thing for sure,,the back tires would last about 3 days on this,,lol Cheers S

    Happy spring to all,,just finished this up,,its actually 3 large scale Revell kits in one. Started with glue blob 1/2 assembled bag of parts from the swap meets. The Revell large scale police bike,circa mid to late 70's for the motor and frame,back wheel. And then I used some leftover parts from the large scale Triumph chopper kits for drive box,,rear fender + oil + battery box,, And drag style seat. Front springer ++ handlebars are from the large scale snap harley kit from the 1990's. Front wheel is from one of the ol Revell drag bike kits as is the speedometer+light. Scratch built the rear grab bar + and plate/rear light setup. Sprayed rattlecan testors orange,,hand painted everything else. Decent results from glueblob bag for 5 $ Thnx for lookin.

    Thanks folks,,I wish the kit had come w/wheelie bars,,I didnt have any x-tras in the stash box otherwise I would have put on wheelie bars and a parachute. There was also supplied in the kit 2 headrest lookin "thingees" that I made headrest with. And there was no mention or diagrams on the instructions about them,,so,,, I just made do. They worked pretty well. Thnx for the kind words !

    So,,I was goin thru some shelf organizing today and ran across this,,A kitbashed Charger Daytona Flat top FC. The "Electra- Charger" Built this a few years ago,,kindof an experiment/bash kit. Used a rooftop from a PU truck kit for the cover over the interior. I think I used testors MF Lime gold for the can spray,hardware store green for the chassis,,and scratch built the front frame work,,and used a modified FC chassis for the back section. Tires+ rims from stash parts box. I always was amazed at the guys who drove these things back when,,no windshield,,must have been wild at 200MPH !

    Thanks Rusty,,yea Im kindof bored with just chrome+ silver all the time on trimwork,,so I paint some of the trim instead. Sure its not "correct" but that has never been a goal for me ,,just experimenting w/colors is fun. Thanks for lookin!

    Well happy spring to all,,,finished up Revells 68" Hemi Dart,,cool kit,,Revell does a good job on the mtr in this,,but of course,,I have to put my touch on it. I wanted something sticking out of the hood,,duel carbs,,hi-rise,,blower,,somethin in there,,added x-tra roll bar in front,added some basic wiring,plumbing. other than that just the basic kit. Can sprayed testors qukdry enamel, hand painted rest. I did have probs with the rear window fit,,if I lined it up even at the top+bottom,,there was a huge gap on the sides relative to the c-pillars,,bizarre,,so I put it in, with the bottom "Vented" similar to a shelby GT racer rear window vent type. All in all,,it turned out fair. But good enough for my shelf! Keep up the great works here on MCM. S `
