Thanks John! Your builds are always great to watch. Thanks, I was worried about the hood looking out of place on this body since the scoop had some sharp edges and the body is nothing but curves but so far I'm happy with it. I think it helps bring some shape into the front. Thanks Bill! Your Cuda build is what inspired me to finally tackle the aluminum suspension parts.

it is definitely a yacht or at least a large speed boat lol, this is the longest model car I currently have. It doesn't even fit into my display case! Thank you!

Thanks Kerry! I already have the colors for this build, I have access to a DuPont mixing system at work so I'm able to mix pretty much any color I want. I do plan on using HOK sometime though since I've heard nothing but good things about their products. Thanks, This is the most scratchbuilding I've ever done on one project.

Awesome! very clean build. I love the color and those ghost flames are perfect.

Same here, my 1:1 is my main priority most of the time.

A few more pics... Thanks for checking in, Let me know what you think! Billy

I've got this one back on the bench now and I decided to tackle the front suspension. upper and lower control arms and spindles are scratchbuilt out of aluminum tubing. I still need to make a rack and pinion setup and coilovers. I also decided to use the center of a Corvette ZR1 Hood and part of it's engine cover to bring some shape into the boring flat hood.

Very clean build so far, Any idea what color it will be?

Me guitars scratch x compound works great for polishing fine scratches.

Nice build! That color is perfect for this car.

Beautiful paint work! The ghost flames are a nice touch.

Thanks Chris!

It sticks really well to bare plastic, just make sure to apply it as thin as possible. It has a tendency to shrink up a lot when it's put on thick.

Well since I'm still waiting on some engine parts I decided to paint the frame. Color is Testors one coat Icy Blue lacquer. This might also end up as the body color but I'm also considering silver. Let me know what you think. Billy

That's freakin sweet!

I got an 83%

It's supposed to fit the monogram chassis, but mine didn't at all because of the thickness of the body.

Nice! I guess you liked the name? lol

Cool! I've been hoping someone would build a model of this. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

I was just really frustrated to find out that the High Quality pictures I took (I could zoom in and see the weave on my braided fuel lines and radiator hoses) were turned into a useless blob of gray the size of a stamp by the resizing program they supplied that is supposed Help with entering, not ruin your chances. I did my part by taking the absolute best pictures I could.

I heard about the issue with the pictures being poor quality after the first contest so I Went to my Grandpa's house (He's a prefessional photographer) to have the picstures of my build taken only to find out their website would not upload them because of the image size. And when I shrunk them down to the recommended size I ended up with a useless stamp sized blob of gray so I didn't enter. As long as they fix this issue I'll enter again but that was really frustrating to have to deal with.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm going to try the Easy Off and see if it does anything.

I recently got a Revell Steve Kinser sprint car kit and it has some kind of aluminum looking plating that looks like chrome with flat clear on it. Does anyone know how to strip it? I've tried bleach since it works on regular chrome and it doesn't work at all on this stuff.

Thanks Chris!

Thanks! I really appreciate all the great feedback. Alan, I converted the blue one myself by removing the vents on the fenders, filling in the SS hood, and using Chevy Bowtie decals over the SS emblems.
