    Thanks Carl ! Fingers crossed Atlantis will have it ready next year ! Thanks Keith ! Thanks Hector ! Thanks much Craig ! I never had much interest in this either (or the Rat Vega) but after digging this out and looking it over again I changed my mind .

    Poison Pinto

    I picked up this builder a couple of years ago , it was in nice condition and missing only a few small parts . Missing was the steering tie-rod and those bumper "darts" which were both easily fabricated , one headlight and the gas cap which I cast using parts from a Pinto Street Rod kit , and an alternator and license plate that were scrounged from the parts box . I used the clear glass from the Pinto Street Rod kit and tinted it green using Testors Candy Green spray paint . The bright green plastic was polished and cleared and I printed my own "Poison Pinto" decals and stripe decals . Also added were tire decals from Gofer Racing . It's otherwise stock except I narrowed the front track to get the tires inside the fender flares . A quick and fun rebuild , hope you like it ! I swapped out the kit carbs for a couple of Holley 1850's from the AMT '69 Torino , added a MAD distributor & coil , and printed Boss 429 Decals for the valve covers .
  7. Very nice looking woody ! Great color and great job painting the wood grain !
  8. Not the easiest kit to assemble and you've done an excellent job ! I agree with your choice of color .
  9. Cool ! Can't beat a red T-Bird !
  10. Thanks much Craig ! Good to hear from you again .
  11. Thanks Mark ! Thanks Walter ! Thanks Trevor !
  12. Sharp looking Nova Mike ! I've sprayed clear red over a gold base before and you're right , the photos don't do it justice !
  13. Thanks much Mozzi !
  14. That looks excellent with the C4 top mated to it , very nicely done !
  15. Beautiful ! Best Halloween themed build I've seen in a looong time !
  16. Even though you wanted a two-tone paint it really looks sharp in the Gun Metal paint , well done Bob !
  17. Thanks Chris !
  18. Thank you very much Kimmo ! At one time I also would have added a detailed engine to this one but now I just try to finish something . . . even with no engine . My '79 Ranchero GT project has stalled out but it's not forgotten , planning on finishing it next year .
  19. Thanks Stephen ! Very surprised this two year old thread popped up again .
  20. NICE !!!
  21. Maybe if we all yell really loud Atlantis will mold this kit in white instead of some hideous red plastic !
  22. Beautiful Bel Air Steve ! Really nicely detailed and beautiful paint ! What color is that ?
  23. Great looking Cobra and some really nice paint ! Well done Chris ! Other than the windshield frame I don't see any real problems with this kit .
