  1. Those both look cool, good job.
  2. Look's killer with the door off and all the cage work.
  3. Wow yeah Edward that was worth the redo my friend, it look's spot on now...I like the intake manifold a lot also.
  4. That thing look's wicked, I love the color. Any interior picture's before you put it together?
  5. Haha that is a good one Billy, I completely get what you are saying Manny ,but in reality that is exactly how "we" modify real car's. Might be slightly more complicated and might involve a welder instead of Tenax ,but cut, weld, fill, sand, prime ect. just like 1:25 scale. How about this one, what should I do about that huge glue mark on the passenger side door?.......Just display it on the driver's side and no one will know. lol
  6. That look's wicked Edward, very nice work
  7. That look's like a cool project, your off to a good start.
  8. I applaud you Del...page two and not one person has said it "not really my kind of car's ,but....". I also love the color choice and it goes well with the interior. Nothing better than custom wheel's my friend.....one of kind indeed. I alway's enjoy your build's, thanks for sharing.
  9. Thank's for the info Tim, I really apperciate you taking the time to fill me in on all this info. I binged some 401 AMC engine images ,but really had no clue the 304 would be a closer match....you really helped me out there. Thanks for the info and link John...that is cool that you cared enough to share that with me. No dig to the builder of that model at all....it is a very cool model ,but I want mine to be more authentic...no hemi or chevy, modern safety devices, exact paint/decal match ect. Thank's again guy's...I can always count on the MCM gang.
  10. Yes I believe the JoHan kit does have the 401...in fact it is the only kit I am aware of that has that motor and I am not willing to spend that kind of money. The Gremlin has the 304 so not going to work. I believe I will modify one of the many Chevy block's I have...my main need is engine and Interior shot's. I can see from one photo I have Don is running a modern mulit point roll bar. Thank's for the intrest James, working on the flip mechanism now.
  11. I am not really a person who build's replica's ,but something about Don Moyer's Rebel Reaper B/gas Willys has struck a cord. I have every photo from the internet and a little info on the car already. It is a fiberglass car on a '37 Willys frame, the fiberglass flip nose front is a original gasser era piece. Rather than a Chevy or Hemi, Don has chose a 401 AMC motor...not sure what kit I could source that from? Any picture's of the interior or motor would be awesome, if anyone knows how I could reach Don himself that would also be great. Any personal info can be messaged to me for privacy...Thank's guy's Hangin' the hoop's...what the Rebel Reaper does best This is what I have so far.....
  12. I found some pretty nice examples on Ebay for cheap, deep dish, staggard, shallow dish...there all there.
  13. Awsome car, I like the color combo.
  14. Saw this while watching NHRA, RIP Paul Candies. This is truly a wicked build, 1984 the year I was born and Mark Oswald is a Cincinnati Native making it even cooler.
  15. Your are doing a amazing job on this build, I can't wait to see it complete.
  16. Looking good, I like what you have going on here. Here is a link to the smallest hardware that I know of, be warned though it's not cheap and a specialty screwdriver/ nut wrench are required for something this small http://www.scalehardware.com/
  17. Marcos Cruz, Cliff Read and Tim Boyd on the cover, don't get much better than that. I love this magazine...every issue, I actually wanted to write Gregg and comment on many of the little detail's the staff get's into every issue. I love all the new part's and tool's that are showcased as well, MCM is very up to date on that stuff. Thank's for the great mag MCM staff.
  18. I would love to see a nice build up of this kit with some picture's, it look's pretty incrediable.
  19. That look's awesome, I like all the change's you made and the wheel's are perfect.
  20. That thing is wicked, look's like it has some challenging part's for sure and you did a nice job.
  21. It doesn't look bad, look's like a old school paint scheme to me.
  22. Great work once again John, your my favorite model kit builder.....I know that sound's like something a third grader would say ,but it's kind of a big deal. I like the shot of you taking picture's, pretty much exactly what I imagined haha.
  23. This thing is looking wicked, I REALLY REALLY like that you didn't wait around to pay top $ for a rare kit...instead you just modified and customized what was available. Good call on the R&M stuff, I often customize my wheel's to suit my need's.
  24. I think I like this one better than the Yamaha, you did a real nice job on it. Are the fairing's and plastic's molded in two pieces like most of Tamiya's bike kit's? The reason I ask is because you did a killer job molding them, paying close attention to even the underside. I had so much fun building the Ducati that I got two more build's, 916 Ducati and I am working on the Ajinomoto NSR 250 Race Bike. These thing's are fun.
