  1. I think it's a great idea. Love the wheels, they really go with your concept. Bob
  2. Thank you for the kind words Joe, Scott and Virgil! The paint on the Willies (now stripped from it because of a Future overkill) was a one-shot lime something-or-other. Bob
  3. I was thinking that the subject of this thread meant what specific tooling has been used in the most released kits. Bob
  4. Last I heard SRT brand is on it's own, also Hummer, they are no longer part of Chrysler. Bob
  5. Thanks for all the kind words Billy, Jim, Mike, Ray, Caleb, Felix and Rob! If I were to do this one over, (and I DO have another '40 Ford) the first change would be to use the Cobra windshield and frame. Next would be to not lose the headlight lenses. The wheel openings need a softer touch and the front fenders widened and the rears rotated down towards the front. This was version 2.0 because I ripped it apart and moved things around after having the first go at it. Oh, I also did all the bodywork without remembering to NOT erode the front and rear light openings. Here is the method used to plan the cutting... ...the thumbs are 1:1 scale. Before doing another '40 Ford, this now stripped Willies is running around my head... Bob
  6. Very nice build. I have been keeping my eyes on the lookout for this kit and you have done it justice! Bob
  7. Only about 70% happy with this... Bob
  8. ... Bob
  9. I took these pics at some car shows in 2009, is it the same car?
  10. http://public.fotki.com/vsuarez666/voodoo-customs-chop-shop/road_trip_archives/2012-birmingham-cla/068.html First time I've seen a matching cast. Bob
  11. I like it! Gives me ideas on what to do with my kit, the hood got melted. Thanks for posting your work. Bob
  12. Thanks Danny. Rob, that bright Camaro was dumped in Super Clean, then Easy Off and finally brake fluid. The brake fluid made the paint rubbery/soft and the discolouration is what happened a few days after pushing my finger nail into the paint, it spread out from the indents but I could not "tear" anymore off. Bob
  13. Thanks for the comments all! To bobthehobbyguy, I used a Revell SCCA kit for the chassis and the wheels are from that kit. To Jantrix, if you are talking about the stripped 3-piece Camaro, what is left is the plastic after bondo was removed and the warped look is just not having the pieces lined up for the pics. Bob
  14. Nicely done, love the mean stance! Bob
  15. Found them... Bob
  16. This IMSA Camaro is the "after" shot, I'm looking for the "before"shots. This was an early try at major body mods and it had a few cracks that could not be fixed, also the raised hood turned concave after many years... Bob
  17. Updates... Located some parts and it now both might be salvageable. ...the Camaro needed a new kit, which I now have. These pics show how rubbery the body ended up after stripping methods, funny thing is some of the parts stripped perfectly...
  18. I have a kit that has resisted everything you have used and I gave up, total loss. Bob
  19. Jonathan, your 2 links are the same. Any chance of re-posting that long list link please? Bob
  20. Ya, I MIGHT have gotten into RC years ago (I am not posting this to sell things, most of them are gone anyway)... Bob
  21. I like it a lot. The details are great, the grill, gauges, etc., are well done! Bob
  22. First car that I had/drove legally was an orange woodie Astra wagon. I got a job delivering pizza the day before the drivers door packed it in. Thanks Dad! Bob
  23. Any idea of what stores might carry this mag? I'm in Toronto and would drive anywhere in the city to buy it. Bob
  24. This was an aftermarket kit-in-a-bag... Bob
  25. Thanks for the kind words Terry, Shane and Sam Bob
