  1. Thanks for the info DW ! After looking at some photos I suspected it was pretty close so I'm going to leave it as is .
  2. The engine is about finished for now . I modified the kit carburetor and added linkage/springs and a throttle cable , added an alternator from my parts box (replacing the blob of plastic that's in the kit) and made some brackets for it , and finally I made a fuel pump and added the fuel lines . Before continuing I need to check the ride height and make any necessary changes so I temporarily installed the front & rear suspension/wheels & tires . Salvinos includes a half dozen lowering blocks for the rear axle and the instructions say to add one block to each leaf spring so that's where I started . This photo shows the front assembled OOB and the rear with one lowering block . It looks pretty good but I may lower the rear a little bit more , what do you guys think ?
  3. Don't know about that , these guys know a lot more than I do about vintage race cars . Thanks James !
  4. Beautiful '68 Mike and a really sharp color ! Those GT wheels look perfect on it !
  5. That's a really pretty color and a great looking Chevelle ! Well done John !
  6. Great looking 4-door , well done Steve !
  7. Great stuff Justin , I'd say you had a very productive year ! Love the Mako , it's on my To-Do list . I also built the MGB-GT , more challenging than I expected and you've done a great job on yours !
  8. Thanks again everybody , much appreciated !

  12. Beautiful Camaro Bruce ! Love the Marina Blue and those wheels & tires are perfect for it !
  13. Well done Mike ! Love seeing this kit built and your dio is pretty nice too !
  14. You definitely succeeded David , that looks excellent !! I also made one attempt way back when and failed so I have another in my stash waiting for me to get up the ambition to try again .
  15. It may be nothing fancy but she's a real beauty ! Nicely done !
  16. Absolutely beautiful Willys , nice work Phil ! That paint does have kind of a candy look to it , I like it !

    V-8 Corvair

    That's cool and very well executed , great that you were able to save it ! The cooloing holes in the rear glass are a nice touch .
  20. Nice low and smooth ! Looks great with that color and finish !
  21. Well done David , I really like that color ! A white interior would be perfect in a convertible .
  22. This is a Tweedy Pie with Boss Fink built by a friend of mine Mike Sharpless , original kits are very very expensive . Ed Roth fans have been wanting this for decades !
  23. .
  24. One of the most impressive builds I've seen , and that's saying a lot considering the level of talent on this forum . Well done ! I'm sure everybody will be referencing this for their own future projects .
  25. Nothing wrong with three , they're great ! The Talbot Lago is gorgeous and that little Corvette is just plain cool looking , well done !
