  1. That's great that you do that. She did a fine job building and painting that kit.
  2. Thanks guys. My problems were many. Some the kits and some I'm sure were mine. My biggest gripe was that the bumpers were not separate pieces. Also the front trim pieces were very bent ( curved ). I did the warm water trick to get them straight but one broke. Had to try and piece it together and then try to foil it. You can see the results for yourself. Body to chassis was another issue. It just would not fit all the way down. I noticed the lower section of the dash was in the way as well as the back package tray needed to be ground down a bit. I never had good luck with PE pieces and that is why I did not attempt to use them all. The Ghia and Ferrari letters were no way going to make it on to this model. I would love to see you build yours. I know some one with more talent than I have can do a much better job. If it wasn't for the fact I paid 185 bucks with shipping for this I may have shelved it !
  3. Thank you very much Carl .
  4. Cool Mustang !
  5. Very well done, looks great !
  6. Nice job, looks good.
  7. That is a very funny show. When Brent and Lacy have their battle with what is in the sign out front is the best.
  8. Found this sealed kit at a good price so I thought I would give it a shot .
  9. I was 16 and driving for about two weeks. My older sister ( by two years ) had still not taken her driving test. So I was driving her to take her test and I got stopped for speeding. I don't remember how fast. I told the officer I was just taking my sister to take her driving test. He just said to me " your a fine one to be taking anyone for a driving test "!
  10. Looks good ! I may have to spring for one of those.
  11. Please don't do it. Myself as well as many others enjoy seeing what you come up with. I am sure you enjoy showing your builds to others and we enjoy seeing them. Don't give up something you enjoy due to one person. As others have said, please reconsider. If not now perhaps later ? You know where we will be !
  12. My dads 62 Ford. 292 auto. Took my test in it and ended up being my first car. First motorcycle was a new 74 Honda CB 450.
  13. Worked on this little thing . I got a little happy in chopping the top and I did too much and didn’t like it so now is a convertible ! Tamiya Metallic Orange on top only white primer on the lower part for now . I like that look but I am thinking what could be a good lower color .
  14. I built 2. I found it to be a great kit. The only problem I can remember was putting the body on the frame and only one of them so it was probably me.
  15. Cool project and coming along nicely.
  16. Nice replica.
  17. Looks like you are having a great time !
  18. Your model is looking great ! Looks very detailed and what you are adding really adds a lot. Very nice .
  19. Boy ! You are knocking this one out of the park ! Looking so good.
  20. You are so right about this kit but, it looks like you got a handle on it.
  21. Thank you all very much !
