  1. Hello, Here's a tutorial on how to build a B&M Shifter. What you need: -Plactic as thick as realtor signs(thicker my be used) -Knife -Shifter rod and ball -Putty -Silver paint First off, I'll give you the dimensions I used on mine. They might not be exact, but it looked pretty close. Width: 3/16 inch Length:7/16 inch Height(NOT including shifter post): 3/8 inch Step 1: I cut out the main shape of the shifter body. I sanded that so it was smooth, and I also corrected the shape a little bit. Step 2: Once I was satisfied with the shape, I traced the shifter body on the plastic. I cut that out, and I sanded it. Step 3: I used Testors glue, and I glued both parts together. Step 3: I then traced the shifter body twice on the plastic, cut both pieces out and sanded them. Then I glued them on to the shifter body. Step 4: Then I cut a small rectangle, and glued it on top of the shifter, so the long end was sticking out from the shifter. This is the reverse lock out lever. Step 5: I took Tamiya Leaf Silver (I had Gloss Aluminum, why didn't I paint it that color?) and painted the assembeled shifter body. Step 6: Once the paint was dry, I took my left over shifter from an AMT 1966 Chevy Nova Pro Street, and glued it on top. If all was done correctly, you should end up with this. I apologize for the blurry pic, I had to use my scanner. That concludes this tutorial, hope you enjoyed it! If you need any help, feel free to ask Thanks, Andy

  14. That is awesome! I'm the same way. I never build stock. But if I do, it's going to be an absolute factory stock replica!
  15. If you posted it when it was done, it could have been in the "Real Or Model" quiz! Seriously though, your building is outstanding!
  16. You know, I've watched this build for quite a few moths now, when I was just looking around as a guest. All I can say is- WOW! You my friend, have made a new definition the term for "big rig"!
  17. Ooooh yeah. I'll ask the Highway Department to get some of those Nice work!
  18. Man; That finish is beautiful. Just Beatiful.
  19. That's a real good price! Only thing is is that I can't afford a Ross Gibson engine Costs more than a model!
  20. Ok, some of you aren't going to like this, but....... I like the Fast and the Furious. 2 Fast 2 Furious was my favorite one. I really don't like tuners, however the tuners they use I don't seem to mind
  21. Thank you guys! I've always found building models relaxing, but it can be frustrating at times.....
  22. Hey everyone, my name is Andy. I am a 12 year old boy from Indiana. I've been building models since I was about 7. I mainly build muscle cars, and drag cars. I'll take criticism on my builds, but I have no camera at the moment
