  1. Thanks JC !
  2. Really like this one Ray , don't ever see one built . Nicely done ! And your top fits bout as good as a real one does .
  3. Beautiful Z28 , love the blue paint !
  4. With the reissue coming out later this year I thought I'd dig these out and do something with them . The one on the right is 100% complete and will be built OOB for sentimental reasons , the left one is a parts kit with a good body so I'll use it for the Eliminator II . One note : This won't be a technically correct build , just something to put on my shelf . I do want it to basically look right so we'll see how it goes . Over the weekend I started a chassis and engine from the Cougar Funny Car kit . Got some painting done , modified the kit intake from a Chevy to an FE style , and found some stacks in my parts box . I had planned on using the hood and grille from the stock Cyclone kit and stretching the wheelbase , but after comparing the bodies I've decided to just use the stock one . I've read lot's of complaints about the stock body but I don't see it and using it saves a lot of body work . Move the rear springs to the rear notches in the frame and the wheelbase now matches the stock 116" of the body . Since the frame is already painted this is much easier than stretching it . The trailing arms and driveshaft will need to be lengthened , then I can finish up the chassis and the engine . The body will be shaved , vent windows and drip rails removed , and the seams filled . I'm using the Hillborn injection instead of the blown version so I don't have to cut the opening in the windshield .
  5. Not a bad looking diecast , you've done a great job taking it to the next level ! Raising the front bumper must have caught on as I've seen it on a couple other cars . I'm just starting an Eliminator II and even though it's a composite body in photos it has the bumper raised too .
  6. The Creature fits pretty good , looks like fun !
  7. Release date for the Ghost Of The Red Baron is March 12th . Release date for the Li'l Red Baron is April 6th .
  8. The new Li'l Red Baron artwork by Kelly Daniel looks great ! Release date for the Ghost Of The Red Baron is March 12th , Li'l Red Baron is April 6th .
  9. Beautiful 'Bird !
  10. Sharp looking Bullitt Mustang , great job !
  11. I've got two of these , one about 75% and the other 100% complete , plus a set of Slixx decals . The plan is to build the complete one OOB with the decals and use the parts kit for a future project . People have been asking for this kit for years so kudos to Round2 for reissuing it , I'll be getting a couple of'em !
  12. Great T-Bolt Jim ! The paint and trim are perfect as usual . Those tailpipes are what . . . 4" diameter or 5" ? I like'em !
  13. Great looking traditional 34 Coupe ! The period correct look and the color make this build stand out , nicely done !
  14. Another real beauty ! Absolutely gorgeous !
  15. I love Cobras but it sure is nice to see you building something else , beautiful Camaro ! Love the green paint and it looks like you handled those hood stripes okay too .
  16. Excellent ! Great looking Charger !
  17. Nice save ! That's a great looking Garbage Truck !
