  1. I'm going to start saving my pennies ! Is the C4 suspension also available from TDR ?
  2. Looks good to me Scott ! Nice work on the sides and the paint . I've never seen chrome on one of Earnhardt's cars !
  3. I like that , very nice work !
  4. Great looking little car Jim ! I'd love to have a 510 with a small block in it . Much cheaper than a Tiger and it's got a roof !
  5. Thank you very much Niko ! I can see needing three guys if they were installing the bumpers on a freshly painted car , they were pretty heavy ! Looking forward to your '73 Chevelle ( I'm still on the waiting list ) , PLEASE build it next !
  6. Thanks Carl ! Maybe just a couple more progress photos then it will be finished !
  7. I really appreciate your advice Robert and I think I agree with you ! I cut out a paper copy of the stripes and taped them to the body so I could see how they looked . After looking at it for a day or so I've decided to leave the hood stripes off , like you said it's just "too busy" . They were never part of my original plan and I never would have installed them on my real El Camino . Thanks !
  8. I'm not positive but I don't think they were an option on either the Chevelle SS or the El Camino SS . Of the few I've seen with the hood stripes they are all different and look like an owner installed item .
  9. I'm waiting for paint to dry so I finished the decals and printed them . These are the factory SS stripes . There are some extras for when I screw something up ! I made some hood stripes but instead of being rectangular shaped I tapered them to match the hood . I'm not sure I'll use these . And here are the side marker lamps , again I made extras !
  10. This is the first one of these I've seen built and it looks pretty nice ! Yeah , the chassis is a bit simplistic but I like Thunderbirds and this is really cool with the Allison engine . Great job !
  11. Very nice work Bill , the entire set looks great ! I remember following part of you WIP and your detailing is very impressive . The Cube and the Japan license plate has me scratching my head , but it works and you did a great job applying the Moon theme to it . The little Moon wagon is a cool extra . . . love it !
  12. I really like that look ! Great detailing too !
  13. Great job SFD ! That's one beautiful Sunliner !
  14. Beautiful coupe ! Great color and paint job . I'm sure your friend will love it ! Cool looking base you made too . What did you use for the grass and where can I get some ?
  15. Beautiful station wagon and a great job on the conversion !
  16. Now that's a basket case , but the front wheels and tires seem to have survived okay ! Looks like you spent a lot of time on this and it turned out great ! Nice work .
  17. Great detailing on this one Ira , I had fun following along !
  18. Beautiful Galaxie ! Love the color and your foil looks perfect !

    Beautifully done ! Love the color and the wheels and tires !
  20. Looks really good Ronnie ! Your paint and engine detailing look great . Forget the aluminum foil and buy some BMF , I'm guessing you'll be pretty good at it !
  21. Very cool John ! I love all of the extra little details you've added , there are way too many to list ! I'd love to build one to add to my collection , thanks for the link to your build .
  22. Thank you very much Mike ! Actually you are right , the rear bumper is a bit larger than it should be . I'm still thinking about how to trim it down a little . When I first saw a new El Camino back in '73 I couldn't stand those big old ugly bumpers , but they don't look so bad to me now !
  23. Thank you very much Robert ! I don't care for the look of the white primer , hopefully it will be painted soon .
