  1. nice model. im getting ready to start one of these kits in a bit when i finish up my green nova and the 51 chevy. mine will be a gasser.
  2. pic update: rear package shelf flocked This paint job brought to you by: Busch beer. hmmm theres an idea for a name....cause this car is smoooooooth.
  3. who writes the voice overs for these things? thats who should be shot, the tunnel ram is obviously not made of steel, the carbs are quite obviously edelbrokes, and a 454 and 450 hp like 450 is a big deal? a big block with 2 4's and a tunnel ram making only 450 horse has something seriously seriously wrong.. are we talking THIS car or early fords in general? This car? Ace garage guy nailed it. also id fix the bloody door gaps so the doors you know actually SHUT also: now that ive heard the thing run... id fix the timing and tune the carbs... the thing is running like GARBAGE. in general? as a man wiswer than me said, If it aint broke....leave it the frig alone! (i'm paraphrasing.)
  4. Yeah. Im hoping the 2 in the 2 in one deal is some traditional custom parts and not some nascar junk.
  5. Think im gonna go with gold. Paint and pics tonight
  6. Have they released the box art yet
  7. Does anyone know what the build options are? If any?
  8. I have mixed feelings. As a trad. Custom nut i cant wait for it. But im a little annoyed the second version is a few odds and ends and some decals. Personally you wouldnt live long enough to see me build the racer version or a nascar version. Or stock for that matter.
  9. Looks fantastic buddy. Your skills really have grown leaps and bounds
  10. I should mention the hood in the photos is the colour the car will be. Ice blue pearl.
  11. I have inca gold. That was another choice... The interior is more of a tan than it is brown but i see what you mean.
  12. its getting scallops, i just hane no idea what colour! right now theyve been sprayed in the candy base coat silver, i think some testors candy grape would looks good but im worried about the clear attacking the enamel. so i painted a spare body with the grape tonight and ill try clearing the spare tomorrow, hopefully itll work otherwise....what colour? 2 tone blue? burgundy? leave em silver? any other thoughts?
  13. wondering about any hobby shops in or near bangor maine
  14. its painted, engine wired. no pics tonight though.
  15. Did some work last night. Bodys rdy for paint and the engine is more or less done. Need to get some more ca glue to finish wiring.
  16. Wwws! Love the chevy hood sides
  17. Got it the other day, pretty impressed with it so far Wip thread in on the workbench
  18. Yeah we had friemds down from ontario. Couldnt get away. Thanks!
  19. Bloody gorgeous.
  20. a thought ocurred to me last night (thanks yoda) about the cameo grille... no turn signals. Was hoping to have this painted tonight but i sense another 14 or 15 hour work day coming. So well see. Ill probably finish up the engine at least.
  21. looks great! but for future reference the ls1 is a small block
