    Absolutely amazing work so far.

    How can I order your decals? I checked out your ebay page but you don't have your whole selection listed on there.

    I recommend you watch this excellent review on youtube. The guy bought all of their newest offerings and he's good about showing all of the decals and pieces clearly. Watching this video convinced me these would be good purchases: Almost, but not quite! I searched different vendors online until I found Scale Hobbyist. They definitely had the best prices, especially when taking shipping into account.

    I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. Great job fellas! I'm truly loving the collaborative aspect of this.

    When I worked at a suburban Los Angeles TRU 4 years ago, we didn't carry any kits at our particular store. You could, however, order certain kits through our website. I distinctly remember the Revell 1977 GMC pickup being one of them. Apart from that, the only kits I've ever seen recently at some stores have been the above mentioned Ecto 1, Revell 1999 Civic, and the Revell Snap and Play Mustangs.

    Wow! Not to hijack, but any more pictures of your setup? I love what you did with the Crown Vics.

    Nicely done! You decided against adding the division numbers on the trunk?

    Hobby Lobbys are probably the best bet as far as getting kits and supplies from a brick and mortar at a decent price. They have everything you need to get you started off. I believe there's two HLs in close proximity to Long Beach, but I'm sure you know this by know. The go to shop in the LA metro area is definitely Burbank's House of Hobbies in Burbank. You won't regret taking a trip there.

    That's great news. I was just looking over how many of their hubcaps I had and realized I didn't have enough to cover the amount of cars I plan to purchase. Thank you.

    I went to my local HL and I wouldn't say most. There were about ten automotive kits on clearance. Definitely not a bad deal though. I picked up the Dodge Ramcharger for 6.75. The best deal is probably the AMT Aero Chief at 12.50! I would have picked it up but I already have one. I was hoping to get another MPC GMC Deserter but that one wasn't on clearance. No matter, I'm very happy with the deal I got on the Dodge.

    Did you make the camper shell?
  14. av405
    Amazing. Are those the Modelhaus wheels/hubcaps? I bought a bunch of those right before they closed in anticipation of this project (don't say I didn't believe in ya Dwayne )

    Excellent work as always! I love what you did with the headlights and taillights. How much did you pay for the decals from speedway?
  16. av405
    Thanks Snake. I ended up looking at Troy'sToys and they seemed to have the best prices and inventory selection.

    I recently started getting an interest in 1/64 diecast, specifically front Greenlight. I know that Hobby Lobby and Toys R Us sell them. With HL's higher pricing, even using the 40% off coupon results in pricing similar to that of Toys R Us. Does anybody have recommendations for online sites that sell Greenlight cars at a good price?

    I'm embarrassed to say I missed that post Very fine work!
  19. av405
    Great job! What's the source of your decals?
  20. av405
    I don't like the headlights on the Limited model. They're too small in comparison to the grill and remind me too much of a Toyota.
  21. av405
    Nice work. How/s your Los Angeles Sheriff Caprice coming along? I remember seeing it on your fotki page a while back.
  22. av405
    I am absolutely in awe.
  23. av405
    I am. I've always stated on here that being a child of the 90's, I wanted to see more of the cars I grew up with. So I'm putting my money where my mouth is. The fact that it can be built as a plain Cutlass is the deciding factor.

    Your resin grill is for a 1981-1982 model. Typically it was the lower-trim Custom Deluxe that had the single headlight grill. Most Blazers didn't have these so that grill is perfect.

    Looks promising! I'll be following. I too have been looking for those type of hubcaps but have not found any. How do you plan on updating the front door frames?
