  1. Great looking build. I like how you used a body color that is not often seen. This would be a great 1:1 daily driver.
  2. Very nice looking kit. The firewall is a little plane looking but you were having to work with what the kit offers. The Brush Guard and Roll Bar look good also.
  3. Very nice clean looking build. Outstanding paint work.
  4. Very nice looking build. Great job on the paint finish, very smooth.

    DeLorean

    Amazing detail work. This is one of the reasons I haven't built one.
  6. Nice paint and interior. I like how you detailed the engine. I would double check the Drive Shaft, might need to flip it end for end.
  7. Beautiful build. Are you still driving the 1:1 ?? Always fun when you can build a copy of the car you're diving or have had in the past.
  8. Just need a few Presidential Flags on the front. Great extension work on this body. I like the Flower Car idea also.
  9. Nice clean looking build. I'd look around for the tires you need and retro fit them .
  10. Great looking build. The color choice looks perfect for the era. I like the smooth bumpers without the guards.
  11. I like the color combination and the engine detailing. The paint surface look good in the pictures.
  12. Very well done period build. Nice paint and interior. I remember the 413 or 426 Wedge cars well. You had better have your A game going or all you were going to see was their tail lights.
  13. Very nice paint job. Everything looks sharp a clean. Unusual style for a Caddy, but why not it looks good.
  14. While there are several steel wheels from various kits the one thing that they all seem to be lacking is accuracy with the center section. They may have fairly accurate looking lug nut area but not the mounting for the small hub caps. All to often the offset of the center in relation to the outer rim as wrong. You wind up with a hub cap that stands to far out to look realistic weather your using a small center cap or a full hub cap. As much as I like the Pegasus chrome wheels, and I'm even finishing a build now with them, the ones with the spider center cap are the only ones that look right to me. The wheels from the Dodge "Joker" car had some great looking wheels but only if you're looking for a reversed of extra wide wheel. The Revell '57 Ford kits have a fairly realistic looking wheel but again the offset is not what it should be, and you're limited as to what tires you can use unless you modify the outer edge.
  15. I'd like to know how an Ice Maker catches fire. If the manufacture doesn't want to fix it you could always go back to the Ice Cube Trays that we used before Ice Makers.
  16. Very nicely done. One of my favorite colors. An idea for the Windshield you said was missing. Just make a paper template of the Windshield. Use either the plastic stiffeners from a new dress shirt, my usual method, or the some clear plastic from a Hobby Shop. Cut to size and use a clear adhesive.
  17. What a difference from the Dog Chewed ? Promo to what you have here. The very clean trim and interior really look great.
  18. Great looking engine and interior. The second generation Camaro RS has always been a favorite.
  19. Great tutorial on the wheel modifications. I like the stance and the delivery body style.
  20. I learned this technique from another builder here. I have used it extensively for some time in the building process. Think about the rear view mirrors inside and out, door handles, even suspension mounting that can be very delicate to be in scale. Works perfect for exhaust manifolds and many others. Happy Building to you.
  21. Nice clean build. That color always looks best on any MoPar from that era.
  22. Beautiful build, looks as if it just drove out of the Lil Pages of Rod & Custom. I like the Watson style scallops.
  23. I'm a hoarder and I throw away nothing. I have used parts that I have sometimes had for years, as soon as you throw anything away you're going to need it.
  24. Safe to say they weren't Krispy Kream Donuts.
  25. Great pictures and coverage. Thank you for sharing.
