  12. Very cool build! I have been wanting to build something like that for awhile now!
  13. Thanks mike! This has been a project for a couple years now. It has been painted once before and it was bad! Not sure what happened but it orange peeled like crazy and even hazed in some spots. I tried painting it orange before with Testor's paint. That was the last time I ever used their spray paint. I almost strictly used automotive paint now for bodys now.
  14. WOW!!!!!! VERY WELL DONE!!! I really like it! Love the color!
  15. I am a BIG fan of the cult movie "The Wraith"! hence my screen name. That movie has stuck to me since I 1st saw it as a kid. Especially growing up in a MOPAR family with my father and uncle always having some kind of cool Mopar around! My uncle rented this movie and I fell in love with the Turbo Interceptor! So much I named one of my Mopars "Wraith" and thus the screen name. As a BIG fan of FWD Mopars and Turbo'd 4cylinder cars this is one of my favorite MOPARS of all time and the basis for MY TURBO INTERCEPTOR! THE DODGE SRT-4! yes I know it's a diecast but when its all you have to work with you have to make do! I even finally scored some different wheels for it. here is a quick mock up of a one picked up years ago and stripped the paint and have massaged some cast lines in the metal. the black is permanent marker as i am playing around with some paint schemes Were the bare metal is will be a Deep Amethyst Pearl purple and the wheel will end up gunmetal. sorry for the bad pics. took them with my cell phone as I still can't find my cord for my camera. I have opened up the grille and added a scratchbuilt intercooler. The rear spoiler on these are to short so it has a slightly modiflied rear wing from a Revell Acura Type R. I removed all the lettering cast into the chassis and cut out and scratchbuilt the exhaust. working on some interior fixes as it is not 100% acurate. All it really needs is a few more minor detail to be sorted out and some primer and paint and she should be done real soon.
  16. VERY COOL! I can't wait to see it finished!
  17. I just scored a Lindberg 1/20th scale Blazer. Not really my thing but it was dirt cheap from a co-worker. open to trades offers!
  18. Looking good so far! I have one I started the other day as somethinh to work on while giving another project a lil brake. I slightly widened the rear wheel wells for a wider tire. I basically removed the fron part of the rear wheel well and pushed it inward till it match the rear part of it and it was straight. I also had to add some blocks in the rear to get it higher and I lengthened the rear part of the chassis about 5mm and also extended the rear frame rail farther back. Personally I am very happy i did that as it looks better. The chassis just seemed to short and didn't fit up against the rear valance good enough for me. enough of my wip! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK! The steelies look perfect on it!
  19. They are the same thing. its like saying 6 or a half dozen.
  20. Sounds like some romance is brewing in the story! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me Mike! AWESOME work!

  22. I opened my mailbox yesterday and found a very much unexpected, forgotten, and pleasant surprise! A package from Canada!? I knew there would be a package waiting in my mail box from California, but Canada as well!? Got inside and opened it up and more parts for my Ramcharger!!! spare frame, complete motor/trans and the t-case! I had totally forgotten that our GOOD friend of here kataranga (Chris Martin), had told me he had some parts and would send them to me! Chris you really helped make my day yesterday! I OWE YOU! Thanks again! With your help I should be able to get it started!
