  1. Awesome job for sure.
  2. Here's an old build that I've never posted because I didn't have any good photos. Cleaned it up and took some new pics.. Fred Cady decals and an AMT kit. It's not an accurate replica but it was a fun build.
  3. This is a six year old stalled project of David's. Don't think there's any "pics coming" anytime soon.
  4. 50 years of the funny car was celebrated two years ago. This Youtube video is probably from back then. The museum has had models displayed in it for years. There are displays with funny cars, top fuel, pro stocks, etc. I even have a scratchbuilt Dave Schultz pro stock motorcycle on display.
  5. Sorry, it was Harts Parts Resins that has the Mopar pro stock scoop. It's close yet far off as well. Looks like you would have to start with something basic and work it into the Stiles scoop. Never seen that exact scoop design before in model form. https://hartspartsresin.com/product/amt-mopar-pro-stock-hood-scoop/
  6. Bandit Resins has that scoop.
  7. Another quick, out-of-the-box build using the Moebius 65 Plymouth AFX kit and aftermarket decals. This was my first build of any Moebius kit. For the most part it was a great build, however, the glass installation is another issue. Instructions call for the glass to be installed from the outside but that doesn't work nor does it fit on the inside. I was able to get the back glass in but had to make an entirely new windshield out of sheet plastic. The decals for the Buckeye and Vernon car are older aftermarkets that are no longer available.
  8. Looks great. It's held up well over the years.
  9. I used the Concorde body to design a future drag build.
  10. Fuel cell and fuel lines are complete. I also checked to ensure that the front clip would still fit with all of the added detail.
  11. Scrap the chassis and build a new one.
  12. Tires and wheels and steering linkage along with the radiator completed and installed. I also mocked up the fuel cell.
  13. Yes. Lots of cool images can be found and used for decals like rally stripes.
  14. Headers are done and with them in place I added some frame bracing.
  15. They are arrow wraps. I found the images online, saved them and converted them into decals.
  16. Thanks Tim. It's Spaz Stix Flourescent orange. The funny thing is that when I turn out the lights over my workbench this thing almost glows in the darker light.
  17. All decals are complete. https://images51.fotki.com/v1654/photos/3/177223/10159135/20200724_222812-vi.jpg[/img]
  18. Paint is done and one whole side of the new decaling process is complete.
  19. Awesome paint, awesome detail, awesome build.
  20. With one current project now set off to the side while the paint and clear fully cure I decided to get back to another build that was started almost 9 years ago. This is a phantom schemed 63 Pro Mod Vette using a resin body that I created, a scratchbuilt chassis and homemade graphics along with lots of added detail. The build was coming along nicely until a massive failure with some old clear coat. I put the build away only to take it back out a few years later and try again only to mess up the paint work a second time. Back in the box once again. Now, I have a newfound motivation to finally get this right and bring it to completion. Here are some pics of where the build once was. And now where I'm at with fixing the paint work and continuing on with the build. It includes rescribing the door lines and relocating the exhaust opening.
  21. Another project completed and on the shelf. This was an old rebuild that was originally done with kit decals and lots or orange peel in the paint. Stripped it down, repainted, new decals using an old set of Upscale decals that went on great and updated the tires and wheels.
  22. Tires and wheels are done. Just need to add dullcote. [/img]
  23. Very cool.
