  1. Now the question is trim rings and hub caps or my machined aluminum moon discs?
  2. Thanks doc.... where's your olds? Lol Hope to have the interior started and the wheels on the frame for good tonight. These pics do not do the colour justice at all. Here's the paint in the can, a much better indication of the amount of pearl in it
  3. Looks great! Not feeling those wheels though. Needs white walls!
  4. thanks nick, me too. those pics dont come anywhere close to doing the colour justice,
  5. Well heres my kick at the oldsmobile can, 6" scale drop in the front, unsure hopw many in the rear, but its a signifigant drop. paint is rustoleum gloss black on the wheels/chassis and Mazda Redfire pearl effect for the body. Scratch built coil springs (1/16 inch tig rod wound around a 1/8th tungsten fits like a GLOVE in the kit spring pockets FYI..) hood has been relieve of its tim as well. pics the springs
  6. This is a fantastic kit!!! You'll have a blast building it
  7. Looks good! I did the drop on mine similar.. I raised the upper a arms 1/4 of an inch (6 scale inches) and moved the lowers to suit. I then cut off the spindles and re glued them straight up to correct the wonky camber
  8. I'll build one more or less box stock, but not green (love the colour, love the car, hate the colour on the car.) And 2 or 3 kits for parts.
  9. This one is wearing paint now, but heres a primer shot
  10. early mockups of the new wip... wheels are the body's colour
  11. All I can say is I cannot wait for this!!!!
  12. Could you even get a 6 in the Bel air? Only ever seen them with 8's. I'm happy it isn't the fuelie engine as that has been kitted before and is pretty rare. The single/ dual 4 bbl setup is a far better representation of the majority of these cars
  13. hmm. thats a bummer. though a single snorkel style (for single 4bbl 283's) is only as far away as the 56 nomad or 55 bel air kits.
  14. Hmm no date listed for the rat roaster
  15. I have Netflix and was unable to find this?
  16. Gorgeous
  17. I can't wait for this.
  18. Lbs has the foose car
