    64' IMPALA

    Wow! Give that man a trophy!
  4. Cool display, but.........Now the Munster's theme song is stuck in my head!
  5. The side trim is from a 1964 Sport Fury. The car may be a hodge podge but the side trim is definitely '64 Sport Fury.
  6. Red , white, and blue on the trim = Sport Fury. WF
  7. All that great work and no drive shaft loop! Sorry, can't sign your tech card!
  8. Amazing job! That Johan has a great body but a promo style chassis with poor detail. You did a great job fixing that! What chassis did you adapt to that Mopar? WF
  9. Looks like the pics are back today. I thought my computer got stupid. Guess not!
  10. It seems that quite a few posts that I checkout will not show pics hosted by Photo Bucket. Anyone know why I can't see the pics? WF
  11. Pics don't show.

    68 Dart GTS

    Super nice! Great job on the vinyl top. WF
  13. Battery on the passenger floor? That would be a big no-no in the racing world. If its a street car and you are bringing it back to Autozone, then it might be ok.
  14. Hi Al ! I too got fooled into thinking the first photo was of a 1:1 car! You know that you've nailed it when so many builders get fooled! WF
  15. Cool car! Very clean with great paint! Gotta take exception to your comment "Back-in-the-day like in the mid-60's the gasser class was called Gas Coupes & Sedans. No wagons, no convertibles, no sports cars" In the mid '60s wagons, and convertibles (with roll bars) were quite common as Gassers. Sedan deliveries, pickup trucks, El Caminos and Rancheros were all eligible to be Gassers. Sports cars ran in their own category called Modified Sports Car that had essentially the same rules as the Gas Coupes and Sedans. By 1968 the Sports Cars and open bodied Street Roadsters had been absorbed into the Gas classes.
  16. Very nice! I just picked up my first sedan kit and can't wait to start on it! So many possible cars to replicate! Trying in vain to read your list of "Many modifications". Could you please tell us what you added or modified? One other thing.......What paint and colors did you use for the interior? Again, awesome job! WF
  17. Well done! Great detail work. Not a very common color for an A 12 car. I'm also doing an A 12 road runner.
  18. "It's not the prettiest car, " Yes it is! Terrific! You done good.
  19. That's great! I love it!
  20. Okay, back to scale :
  21. Do these count? lol They are my builds. A little large perhaps. I do love those wheels.
  22. They are great pics, no doubt about it, especially if you are building a modern Nostalgia car. If your building a replica of a '60s or '70s car....not so much.
  23. Terrific! Nothing against your work bench, but, a car that nice deserves a professional photo shoot! WF
  24. A suggestion if I may? It would be relatively easy to add some "strength" to the chassis by adding some tubing. You can also add some interest to the engine compartment at the same time. Here is what I did to a similar project: Bend up two of these: Drill holes in the firewall and the front of the chassis rail: I made mine removable for engine installation. They will be glued in when the engine is completed and in place.
