  1. Tremendous work on this! Looks awesome!
  2. That looks really good! Nice job!
  3. That is 100% truth, right there. ?
  4. Another super build! Love the Pontiac motor! The Tamiya "Silver Leaf" on the wheels really looks good. I want to give it a try!
  5. Fantastic work! Another museum quality build!
  6. Nice job! Great color!
  7. Looks great! Love the street machine look!
  8. Another awesome job! That top looks great! Has that early California look!
  9. I am building an altered drag car 1932 Victoria and I am really leaning toward using the 413 Mopar that is in the AMT 1949 Mercury for the engine. I am looking at the '49 and it looks like the motor is supposed to be a Dodge or Plymouth super stock 413 motor backed by a factory 3 speed, which I believe was a Borg Warner unit. It also looks like the rear end is a Chrysler or Dana unit. It is definitely not stock. Anybody know for sure what the transmission and rear end in the Mercury kit are supposed to represent? I am thinking of using the fuel injection and front cover from the AMT "40 Ford sedan on the Chrysler motor. I know that motor is an Olds, but I did some googling and found a real set up similar to the one in the sedan kit that was made for big block Mopars. Even the front cover is similar. Not going to make rivet counters happy, but certainly close enough for the type of build I am going for here and I think it looks pretty cool. I like to use Trophy Series era stuff as much as possible and detail it to the point of plausibility, lol! I have a set of headers from the Tony Nancy 22 Jr. that will work on this motor too. Not 100% sure about the transmission that is molded to the 413, it might be the weak link. Guess I could swap it for a 727 Torqueflite, if I want to go to the trouble. I appreciate any help or thoughts on the matter! ?
  10. Another beautiful job! Love that top!
  11. I have seen that too, around that area at about that same time. Cars and motorcycles. They don't have much regard for "civilians" and there didn't seem to be much, if any police presence either.
  12. Very convincing weathering! Very well done!
  13. Great job! Love the color and the motor is outstanding! Super nice pro streeter!
  14. That's about as nice as they get! Hope the model project works out for you! ?
  15. Great job! Love the color! Excellent!
  16. Super job! Love it!
  17. Great looking hot rod! Nailed the 60's look perfectly!
  18. This is how I do it too. Thousands of items over the years. ONE time I was rushing and skimped slightly on a Johan Cadillac Convertible and didn't properly support the windshield area and it bit me in the rear end. Arrived with a smashed roof. The buyer was nice about it and I did everything I could to make it right, via refund and return postage etc. But the other thing about people who ship things poorly is they are often indignant when you go looking for a refund or replacement.
  19. The Monogram 1932 Ford Sport Coupe from around 1960 and the 1968 Impala SS hardtop. Had both TWICE and sold them. Very foolish.
  20. Great job! Even though I have never built one, old stock cars are so fun and interesting to look at. Like everything about this one!
  21. Outstanding work! You models are among the best! ??
  22. I will get this, but the double axle is too goofy. I will have to figure out a single axle, dual tire set up for it.
