It looks like a Bandit Resins body . I have one and it is a nice peice . Can't wait to see one finished !

Thanks Jon . I'm glad every one likes the white walls . Gives it a personality !

That's pretty cool ! I'd love to see a 1 : 1 like it . Maybe Garlits would do it !

Dr . Cranky , If you ever get out and wander toward Tampa , give me a holler .

Thanks for the comments guys . I'm surprised no one complained about the wide whites . Dr. Cranky , Adorable ? I could handle cute or something , but adorable ? Just kidding . . . Thanks for the compliment .

It's the Dumbing Down of the general population . Been happenning for decades and will continue .

Small update . I've been looking at those deep areas between the fins and the roof . It's going to be hard to do finish work and paint way down in there . Plus masking since I want the roof a different color . After a few days thinking about it I've decided to build the roof as a seperate assembly . It will be painted and have the glass installed before attaching it to the finished model . So I'm adding the front from the other roof to this one . The front part still on the body will be removed later so I don't accidentally break the vent windows . I couldn't resist taking a look at the wagon with it's new wheels and tires . I like that look . More in a few days .

Thanks Again !

This is my idea of a Manx that is not built for off-road . It is for cruisin' the beach during the day and the drive-in at night . I lowered the ride height 1/8 inch and used the tires from the AMT '62 Vette . The paint is Krylon Orange Glitter Blast over Pumpkin Orange . I scratch built the soft top , seat cushions , and tail lights . To finish it off I printed my own license plate ! Your comments and suggestions are welcome . I have lots of pictures so enjoy and Thank You !

Yep , those are pinheads for the snaps . Really too big , but I couldn't find anything smaller . Well . that's 1 vote FOR the whitewalls . I think most won't like them on a dune buggy .

Hey There , I finished my little buggy last night . Here are a couple photos . I'll post more in On the Workbench . Thanks for looking .

Really great looking engine ! I have 1 suggestion . Re-think the size of the fuel line . A 1 : 1 line is a minimum of 3/8 " ( 10 mm ) diameter . Some hi-po applications are 1/2 " diameter . The 1 : 1 plug wires are usually 7 or 8 mm diameter , some are 9 mm ( still smaller than 3/8 " ) . In your photos it appears the fuel line is much smaller than the plug wires ! The photo Casey posted is a good example of how they should look . Keep posting photos . It looks great .

Okay , now I'm feeling stupid . Ding Ding Ding ! Had to change settings on my photo bucket account . Thanks guys !

Here goes .

I'm having trouble posting photos from Photo Bucket . I followed the instructions on Greg's little video but Iget a red x , then when I post it has the URL but no picture . Now what ? I'll try it here so you can see what heppens .

I'm just seeing if I can post a full size pic . Okay , what happenned ? I finally figured it out . The problem was with my Photo Bucket settings .

I'm using parts from 4 kits for this build . The '57 Chrysler is supplying the bulk of the parts . The disassembled glue bomb supplys a 2nd body ( I'm building 2 at the same time ) and interior parts for the wagon . The '58 Plymouth donates its roof and becomes a convertible . The '71 Hemi Cuda is donating its engine / trans , hood and shaker scoop , wheels and tires , and probably the steering wheel . I stripped the black paint from the glue bomb and cut the roof off . Cut the roofs off of the other Chrysler and the Plymouth . All 3 form the new roof ( Plymouth is the center piece ) . Added some small spacers to adjust the height . Cut the body open to build the interior , and some filler on the roof . Next I fit the Hemi in the chassis and located the shaker and the hood opening . Finally , I test fit the new roof on the body and finished the body work on the hood . Does any one want a '71 'Cuda that's missing a few pieces ? I'll never use it . PM me . I will update in a few days . Thanks for looking .

Those are Super Cool ! For some reason I want the airplane too !

Try Drastic Plastics for instructions . http://thedpmcc.com/instructionsintro.html

Been aware of Car Town for a couple of years . I will try it when I don't need a Facebook account !

I have to ask . How do you drill all those holes ?

Pretty Cool ! The bracing inside the body is a nice touch . Never seen that before . Lots of great ideas here .

I agree ! Very nice engine , and overall looking great . Is this the Tamiya kit ? I've been wanting to build a bug for a while , but am undecided between Revell and Tamiya .
