  1. That looks very mean! I like that paint job and those details looks very nice. Flat black in '32 Ford looks always good. Nice Job!
  2. Got these today, AMT '66 Ford Galaxie and '60 Mercury Comet promo. Comet needs some body work but it's in very good shape. Galaxie need just only windscreen.
  3. Update! Yesterday I did modificatins to transmissiontunnel and now engine fits better and interior too. First I cut that old transmission tunnel away... ...then I cut new transmission tunnel from Revell Dodge Ram VTS interior but as you can see it was too wide and long... ...after shortening it looked like this... ...and after narrowing it looked like this. As you can see I didn't narrowed that whole piece ,only the back of bit. It is going to take shape and now it needs some styren and lots of bondo and sanding. I also returned firewall and now it look like this. Still needs some bondo but not very much. Next I need to start planning that what kind of radiator i put on it. It will be on trunk so it will need some kind of brackets etc. Also need to do some holes rear of the car because there must have to be way where air goes to radiator.
  4. Thanks guys! Niko: Thanks Niko! Yep it going out of control just like our Simcas. And i must have to fit some kind of master cylinder and that kind of stuff to engine bay too so there will not be any kind of spare room in engine bay. Patrik: Thanks! It is nice to heard that others like this project too. Gary: Thanks! Yep, Nothing can't beat real american V8. Today i started to modify interior so I hope that we have update tomorrow. Stay tuned.
  5. Very nice! Engine detail looks very nice and paint job is very good also. Nice Job! Maybe I have to do one Hudson hornet in future too.
  6. Thanks guys for comments! Matthew: It's not possible to lower motor because then the front suspension would need some big modifications and it is the kind of thing that I'm trying to avoid. Mike: Thank's! Yep it's very tight fit and today I figured that I must have to do modifications to interior also because transmission. It is going look like that the project goes out of control very early stage.
  7. Beautiful!! That paint job is awesome and all of that car looks amazing! Very nice job!
  8. Thanks guys for kind words! I think that engine is from 2007 or 2010 Shelby GT500 but i'm not sure because I bought only engine not the whole model kit. Small update. Since i tried that Nissan straight six engine I made big hole to the fire wall because it was so long. Today I filled that hole because Shelby engine is not so long as Nissan engine was. Now it need more bondo and sanding and some more bondo and sanding... Next I will start to cut some holes to hood because blower and aircleaner don't fit under it. So stay tuned.
  9. Looks Awesome! This is coolest Camaro what I've ever seen! All those details and paint job etc. looks amazing. Very Nice Job!
  10. Very Nice! Paint job looks very good and those steelies and wide rear tires fits perfectly on it. Nice Job!
  11. Okay here is my latest and one of the weirdest projects, Toyota Corolla AE86 V8 Drifter. I bought this Levin kit on last year and first I tried to put Nissan Straight six engine on it but it was just too long to Toyota engine room. Last week I got Revell Shelby GT500 engine and first it was going to one of mine pro touring project but then I got idea to try how it fits to Toyota engine room and the result you see in pictures. Engine room is so tight that radiator and battery will be on trunk. Chassis have also got some modification like that i cut molded transmission and make some room for Shelby engine. Here's some pics so you can see what is going on. Starting point is this kit. Engine is almost finished but I still need to put some details on it and I have to paint transmission. Chassis And engine room. Engine just fits to engine room but there don't have too much space. And one mock up pic. Thanks for lookin!
  12. Very nice build! Weathering and engine looks very good and stance is very cool. Nice Job!
  13. Very Nice! Paint job is very nice and all details looks very good. I'm not usually like that kind of wheels and tires but they fit very good to body style. Nice Job!
  14. Looks really good! I had also big problems with rear tires when I build my Impala so your not the only one who had problems with them. Interior and chassis looks very good so far and I love those wheels and tires.
  15. Very good looking Chevy! I like this kind of old school street machines alot and you did great job with this one.
  16. Looks awesome so far! I like that engine alot and all detailing on it is beautiful. Cant wait to see this one finished.
  17. I like this alot!! Paint job and all details are fantastic and engine room is my favourite on this build! NiIce Job! This is one of those kits what I have to buy on this year because i had lots of fun with that '07 Shelby what i build last year.
  18. Okay here's start of my El Camino. ENGINE: Engine starting point changed since i found better one from my parts box. It's still a big block Chevy but transmission is 4 speed. That Lenco would have been too hard to use in street. Engine is now at that point that i must have to start put plug wires and that kind of stuff on it. WHEELS & TIRES: Wheels and tires are also from my parts box. They were good shape but spokes needed some paint. I painted them with Tamiya gun metal. CHASSIS: Since I removed that original molded exhaust pipe i filled that hole and put some bondo on it. It still need litte more bondo but not much. COOLING SYSTEM: Original radiator was missing but I found from my parts box that radiator and it fits really good. This kind of long race gets engines over heating so I put twin electric fans to it. Those are from AMT '95 Corvette but after some cutting they fits very good. INTERIOR: I made holes to the dash board for extra gauges and im happy to the result. Those are not in the greatest place for driver but Co-driver can follow them. BODY: It needed some bondo but not much and it's almost on that condition that I can put some primer on it. More coming soon so stay tuned.
  19. This is very cool lookin Impala. Especially i like that color and stance alot. Nice job!
  20. Thank's guys for kind words!
  21. Very good lookin build! That Paint job is very good and engine is good also. Nice Job!
  22. I took new pics with better quality. Rambler have also got small updates like new license plates and lenses to front head lights. I think that it's now finished and ready to race.
  23. Looks very good! I really like these nostalgia stockers and this looks very good so far. I will follow this one very closely. Welcome to forum!
  24. Okay here is my entry. Starting point is old Monogram '78 Chevy El Camino gluebomb but it has almost all parts. Engine will be Chevy Big Block with tunnelram and lenco transmission. Only thing what i had done was that i removed original molded exhaust pipe. Now it needs some bondo and lots of sanding. Starting point is this. Some parts of it. Need to think what parts i really need on this project like what wheels etc. Here's pic after i removed that molded echaust pipe. Starting point of engine looks like this.
