  1. Love the wheels and tires you've chosen.
  2. Sharp Mopar!
  3. I've been using that way of measuring my car parts for a few years now, and find it works well enough. Most rulers and tape measures here now have one edge in metric, so 1 millimeter = 1 inch is easy to work with. It works great for small parts, but for longer lengths (wheelbase measurements, etc) you begin to come up just a bit short, and have to make adjustments, and/or do the math!
  4. Just amazing and inspirational to watch this process.
  5. That yellow swoopy coupe looks fantastic in the 3/4 rear view, but the front view loses something for me. Will enjoy seeing what you do here!
  6. You selling those?
  7. That resin body looks very sharp! Your build is off to a really nice start. Decided on engine yet?
  8. It's shaping up nicely!
  9. Love these early jets! Any thoughts on a color scheme?
  10. Coming along nicely! You should scratch-up one of those little e381 suicide scooters to sling underneath!
  11. Nice work. I'm liking this body style more and more.
  12. Nice color! Looking forward to seeing more...
  13. I think you mean "Corsica", I drove one for a while as well. My least favorite car ever; horrible ergonomics, impossible to get comfortable in. Plowboy, how about a few styling cues from a mid 80s IROC; block off the grill with a solid panel, gently peaked, peak continuing up the center of hood, flanked by NACA ducts, real or faux?!
  14. Nice! Which kit is this? ICM 1/48?
  15. Would love to see your progress on those!
  16. Is this a 1/35 scale or the little 1/72? Either way, you'd never know it was a sub-par kit from looking at the finished project; nicely done! I like fiddling with Emhar kits, (I have a few planes) they give you reasonably good proportions and enough details to keep things interesting. I consider them models for guys who like building (and scratch-building) models, and they offer subjects the big guys won't often tackle. Watch for sales and you get outstanding value for your modeling dollar.
  17. unclescott58, those are some nice builds! I have one or two of those "little" AMT 283 kits in my stash, and I hope I can do as clean a build as you've done here. (not an easy task with all that clear styrene) Keep it up!
  18. Disguise that tire mark the way the full size customizers handled paint problems back when... do a Watson-esque panel paint in a coordinated or contrasting color, matched on deck lid and top. Could be a simple fade-in, or lace panels are cool again!. Polish the rest.
  19. There's no one-size-fits-all for vinyl top styles. Some cars used a single-seam design, some use a twin-seam style. References are invaluable. I'm liking your color combination, what can we expect for the interior?
  20. We call those "fender flares". Good looking build, really like the blue color!
  21. Love the Cragars on a Gremlin! That chassis looks like it was made for a completely different car, what is up with that odd angle to the rear frame; it should flatten to the the floor pan?!
  22. Nice job; gotta love the Spit!
