  1. Spectacular. This is only the second late B body Mopar I've seen with such an accurate engine bay, special mention for the A/C lines going up and over the core support. The other was a Monaco police car with the same attention to detail, offered on Ebay some years ago. I put a bid in, then another and another, still didn't get it - went well over $100. Quality gets noticed.
  2. Now I have the commercial jingle in my mind, "Here comes Kenner's SSP, Smash Up Derby Set, and you can hoot'n'holler, 'cause you ain't seen nothing yet!" I'm not old or anything.
  3. Very nice, the stance looks just right for a gasser or a '70s street freak, I can picture it doing a block-long burnout.
  4. Not what I was expecting, but better even. Super clean and traditional, I've seen a couple of '68-'69 Camaro low riders back in the day, they were unusual but really stood out.
  5. Beautiful job, those cars are factory customs and just command attention.
  6. Cut down a bigger box, I get those a lot from ebay sellers who want to pare them down to save on shipping.
  7. A picture would be very helpful. Tons of different Mustang wheels.
  8. Beautiful paint work, this is shaping up to be a little stunner. I wish Monogram developed more cars in this series, these two got rave reviews and then... nothing. Inevitably, it came down to sales. What a shame.
  9. Question: When you glue the body together as one piece, does the interior slip into place with no modification, or does it need to be trimmed a bit?
  10. As you know, those are pricey kits, the rebuilders usually have the rear 1/4s hogged out for the optional drag version, and the stock hood is often missing. Another good option is to get a slightly shaggy promo model and build it. It's the same tool as the kit, the hood is separate, and the engine bay detail is still there.
  11. I like it, very rare kit being built into something awesome. Don't see that every day.
  12. Thanks Lei, it just may come down to that.
  13. I have most of one, but the rest would be nice. Not exactly common, but I have to ask because you never know. It would be really neat if someone had one that was broken on the other side to fix this one.
  14. Very nice job, quite authentic looking down to the CHP spec ivory steering wheel.
  15. What can I say Steve, it's absolutely fantastic, slammed it right outta the park. Everything about this says that Roger built it. As a tribute, it couldn't be more accurate in emulating his style. I think he would be speechless, I know I was.
  16. Has anyone used this service and if so, how did the parts turn out?
  17. I built an older issue of this kit, and I used the drop axle from the Revell '32 3 window kit, but I think the 5 window version has the same axle. With a little trimming, it fit nicely and gave a nice stance with little fiddling.
  18. Are you sure it's not running in that photo? I mean, who else does coil wiring(!)
  19. Taillight is '60-'61 Falcon, the new version looks very nice in the car.
  20. I missed the original build 4 years ago. Just amazing, looks absolutely real in all aspects.
  21. There are so many great Roger Hayes builds, it's hard to pick favorites, but here's a few: I actually sent him the transmission for this '66 Chevelle sedan, a T-5 five speed. The '61 Comet was crossed with a Thunderbolt, what a mean sleeper. He influenced me too, his builds were subtle and special, the stance was always 10/10, and it's all about the details and cleanliness. One of the best builders on the board. I'll do a tribute build as well.
  22. Super cool, great concept resulting in a very different Fox that takes a so-so kit and elevates it into an art piece. The photography is top level as well.
