What about the chassis on the Revell 57 Chevy 2 door sedan? Would that one work?

I consider a "donor kit" as something that I picked up relatively cheaply that I'm not too terribly interested in building out of the box. I've got a 64 mustang convertible I'm using for just that sort of thing, kitbashing the engine compartment and front suspension into my Gremlin kit.

This forum has allowed me to find a scale auto club in my area. I was really glad to find out about this.

Either way, I'm getting one. It's going to be a good year for modelling.

Wow! The light chop really improved the lines on this one. Very nice work!

Very nice. I love to watch scratchbuild projects. I LOVE the wheels.

The one I've got doesn't really have a chuck like the normal Dremel. The bits just push in and hold. It's pretty good for low power work, but I wouldn't want to try a cut off wheel or something that requires some torque with it.

I like what you're doing. The Volare-based Road Runner was a rare bird. I had a plain old Volare years ago. Need to get a kit of it so I can summon the bad vibes from that car. It hated me.

Got a similar thing from E2046 recently. It's actually marketed there as a battery powered grinding tool and comes with a small assortment of bits. I found that some of the bits from my other Dremel will fit, which REALLY expands it's capabilities. Plus it's slow enough that it can run without a speed control and won't melt the plastic. The one I got was closer to $6 not including shipping, but It's probably a cheap knockoff of the one you got.

Picked up an AMT 71 Charger R/T kit from Hobby Lobby last night.

Wow! My 1/24 scale kits aren't that detailed. Great work!

Not sure. How about a Testors Porsche 917, or a Mazda RX-2 Savanna, or maybe a Tumbler kit.

I'd actually like to try one, but not at the prices they put them on Ebay for.

67' GTO (the MPC/AMT one is kinda cheap)

Actually, that organizer is pretty spiffy. I may have to locate one.

Very smooth work. Nice Job!

If there's a center divider in the windshield, couldn't you just make 2 separate pieces of plastic instead of trying to replicate the crease>?

I'd like to get ahold of one of these eventually. Always thought the Monza was a pretty little car. Same for the Vega.

I usually use burnishing tools from Hobby Lobby for the first pass to get it started, then q-tips for the final pass. The tools have rounded ends on them so they don't catch the foil.

I'd definitely take a kit of Bonaparte (the little tank from Tank Police). A good kit of the Thundertank and the Fe-Liner The Maraj from Silverhawks The Batmobile from Batman TAS

I think I'd just ask to have some of my previous cars back in new condition: 1972 Buick Skylark Custom hardtop with a 350-2 1990 Crown Victoria LX with a 5.0 1969 Dodge A108 van (just cause it was neat) 1998 Cadillac Deville Concours with the 4.3L Northstar (yeah, I know about the Northstar) And Dad's 1992 Chevy Caprice with the comfy interior and the big V-8.

Your build looks really nice. Somebody had a way of faking a "carbon fiber" look by using a black base coat, then covering the piece with mesh and spraying a dark metallic grey. That might be something to keep in mind if you keep having issues with the decals.

Very nice tip. Thanks!!

I think I've seen that car running around Ohio. Very nice work!

I've been using the Fokti instructions site a LOT. It's really handy for glue bombs.
