  1. Great information source, thank you.

    '70 Corvette

    Great looking build, excellent detail on the trim.
  3. Another beautiful looking VW.
  4. Nice looking Gasser. I know what you mean about Distortion kit, every time I think I want to build one I look at the body, take off my glass' s and try to figure out what is wrong with the body. ,
  5. Very nice clean build. While they look good I think the wheels are a little disproportionate in size, but that seems to be the style.
  6. I was watching last night when a beautifully restored '57 Dodge pick-up crossed the auction block. $150k !!! Really. I know that the post war pick-ups are getting hotter and hotter but this is very eye opening.
  7. "They" would have to allow building for medicinal purposes only I'm sure.
  8. Great recreation. I remember when a lot of guys put the extra set of tail lights on their Mustangs. Some would even put Cougar tail lights on. You really captured the flares just as your friend had done.
  9. Very nice rebuild.
  10. Beautiful build. I like the entire concept.
  11. Very nice , I like the paint color.
  12. Glad to see you're back after this one. Great build.
  13. I think it would look cool as a OEM type build. Someone would look at it and say "did Oldsmobile do that?" You blended the two bodies together so it looks like that is the way it was supposed to be.
  14. Either wheel and tire set up would work. I like the Steelies, but the problem may be fitting them under the fenders, You may have to tub the rears and narrow the front axel some. At this point you wouldn't want to mess with the paint work on the fenders. I really like how this has turned out. A light mist coat of flat clear paint might knock down the shine on the top if that's what is bothering you on that.
  15. I really like the Road Racer look. Your body mods are extensive without looking over done. I'm waiting to see what all you have in mind for the front end.
  16. A mist coat of semi flat clear may improve the appearance of the seats. The same with the console. With a little brushed aluminum on the consoles center section it should lighten up the interior. Your painted body and the chassis look great.
  17. Saw some of the reruns of the Dakar Rally last night on one the sports channels. Pretty wild to watch.
  18. As the owner said in the video "they fired the engine and blipped the throttle, the left front tire left the ground and it blew both head gaskets" Maybe some rail road guys can tell us if the blower is even real. I personally know nothing about that area. The belt in the still shot looks very loose and if the internals of the blower has any drag at all I would think that it would throw the belt. It does make a fun story but without seeing it run I'm skeptical to say the least. By the way I enjoyed watching the You-Tube videos of the Gassers
  19. Beautiful build. I'll have to look into that kit.
  20. Wow that has never happened for myself.
  21. I personally do not believe that any city, county or state should subsidize a sports team that pulls in millions of dollars and only provides free tickets to who ever approved the whole fiasco. This puts an unfair tax burden on the citizens of the area. These franchises generate an ungodly amount of revenue on their own without any help from the municipalities involved. I understand pride in your Baseball team (Royals) and Football teams (Chiefs) but I think this tax thing is just out of control. Locally the KCMO teams have even asked the people of Kansas to help subsidize their stadium. Is $40 to $50 seem a bit much to park your car ? The local NASCAR track at Kansas Speedway lets you park for free. If they need a loan to get things started we have banks and private lenders for that. The cost of running any government should be shared by and for the citizens, and any type of business should pay their fare share with no special exceptions just like every other citizen.
  22. You might want to consider casting this before you paint it. There are some who might want to buy one of these bodies.
  23. Beautiful looking Chevelle SS. I like the wagon also.
  24. Great looking build. I like the color combo. I also had a '72 Monte Carlo, just a 350 but it served me well and towed my small ski boat with no problems.
  25. This and all the other kits from this era were very basic. It is amazing to see what a little extra effort in detailing and adding things like hoses and wires really brings this kit alive.
