This is a close representation of a '67 Type 1 made into a Baja style I owned in the seventies. The base kit is the Revell '68 Type 1, an excellent kit. I used parts from Texas 3D Customs on the body. These are also excellent parts. The parts from Texas 3D are the front hood and nose with headlights, and the rear engine cover also. Modified the kits fenders, the rears are reshaped to represent the way they were on my Baja. Tamiya TS-26 Pure White for the body. The interior uses various shades of flat and semi-gloss Black for the vinyl seats and door panels. The engine was modified with a homemade intake manifold to represent the Holly "Bug Spray" set up of the day along with a K&N Air Filter. Wired the kits distributor and made the exhaust from some black wire. The Buggy Bars on the front and rear are made of Plastruct #90861 3.2 mm plastic tubing. The windows are tinted with Tamiya TS-71 Smoke. This vehicle roamed the sand dunes at Pismo Beach Ca. on many weekends and the 10x15 rear flotation tires never let me down in the soft sand parts.

Miniart Farmers Car 1/35.

Great looking weathering on the finish. -
Don't know if you watch Motor Trend TV and the Shorty"s Body Shop show specifically, but last night, Sunday< he had a customer that wanted a Monte Carlo done just like this. You can usually find it on You Tube if not on Hot Rod TV. Just thought you might want to know.

Great looking Cadillac and the color suites it well. The proportions look good as does the trim.

What did you see on the road today?
espo replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Got some serious exhaust pipes. -
High today is supposed to be -1 around 4 pm. I see no reason to venture forth today.
-
Great looking builds. This kit seems more toy based than replica.
-
Beautiful looking finishes and all the additional detailing really adds to the appearance.
-
Beautiful looking paint colors and trim. Remember more than a few with this color combination back when. Great interior trim and like how you added the spark plugs on the engine.

A daily driven 32 roadster inspired by the Gray Baskerville roadster
espo replied to Rocking Rodney Rat's topic in Model Cars
I agree with Phil, at first glance your little '32 looks like Gary's old car but with better paint. This has a look that will never go out of style. Great clean looking build. -
Great looking Monte, these don't seem to get much love. I recall the movie, and this looks just like the car Denzel drove.
-
Very realistic looking finishes.

2025 dodge charger daytona production model
espo replied to michelle's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Suggest anyone interested in getting additional information on the 2025 Charger they should poke around on You Tube. Looked at several self-appointed experts claiming to have all the inside information. The point that they seemed to put forward was the Turbo Charged Huracan 6 cylinder will be available with either a 400 hp or a 500 hp version. I'm still wait and see but interested all the same. -
Restomod '57 Chevy Cameo pickup
espo replied to Can-Con's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Beautiful looking paint colors and trim finish. Like your powertrain choice. You mention mistakes, can't see any myself. -
Great looking body work. The paint colors and finishes look nice and smooth. Nice interior color and finish. Got to have the Cragar wheels.

My 9-year Project…revisited
espo replied to BDSchindler's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I can understand why that drawing could get someone started on a build. You seem to have followed it well. The one-piece windshield reminds me of the series 1 1955 Chevy pickups. -
75 Chevy van custom
espo replied to Limeyglue's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking paint treatment. Like the lace inset. -
The thing about the bright white color on most performance cars and trucks is that it just looks clean without drawing undue notice from our friends in blue.
-
Like the frame and floor pan upgrades. The wide white tires look good, but the diameter of the front tires seem a bit larger than what you would want on a driver.

2025 dodge charger daytona production model
espo replied to michelle's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'd have to see it and touch it before I could really say that I would buy one. Having been more than satisfied with the last two Dodge Chargers I have owned, there is a very big maybe here. I'm predisposed to wanting the Hemi in some form, but I'm open minded on the Huracan Turbo Charged 6 cylinder based of past write ups I have read about the engine. -
Read what any and all side effects there may be for whatever Meds your wife has been prescribed by the Doctors. The pharmacist receipt should have a read out of possible side effects on any prescription they give you. Doctors always seem to think that their patients couldn't possibly have a reaction to whatever thy have prescribed but they are often wrong or don't want to hear about your side effects. Don't ask me how I know.

Great paint color and finish. Like how you redid the rear end. -
Great looking paint work and color. Like the stance and the chassis and suspension.

What Trevor said best.

Great looking photography. Three different subjects, but all beautifully done.
