  1. Your workmanship is amazing. Maybe someday you will build a Pantera ! ?
  2. Using the Grumpy kit but not building it as the Grumpy car . Used Testors black chrome to change the look of the wheels . Also using a pre wired distributor . Maybe get some paint on it tomorrow . Thinking blue ???
  3. Great looking model !
  4. Add another suggestion for the Revell 57 snap kit. It is very nice.
  5. Nice clean model. One of your best I think !
  6. Very good looking mild custom.
  7. Two Hot Wheels and two Johnny Lightning Cobras . Just a quick EZ thing to play around with while paint to dry on a larger project . Repainted, wheel change and paint detailed .
  8. Nice ! The wheels look great.
  9. I noticed you have good luck with polishing the kits plastic. I do have to try that at some point.
  10. True, I have that one also but that one is an Ertl and the instructions with this have the Matchbox logo so it has to be that one.
  11. I bought another AMT original Cobra kit on the bay . I was suspicious because the kit was molded in green . I bought it knowing I never saw an original molded in any color other than white . The box looked very good and it was cheap . As I suspected it was the newer Matchbox kit which was molded in green put into an original box . Not sure if seller knew or not . At any rate I got another Cobra kit and a good condition box at a good price . Not upset .
  12. Just a couple cheap Matchbox Rancheros to customize .
  13. I am very interested in this kit. I do realize that it is a very large investment. I emailed them to inquire about buying the kit complete at one time. They responded that they do not yet have complete kits and are getting ready to ship out pack 7. Silly perhaps but i am reluctant to do the subscription deal as if something were to happen where the parts stopped coming I would be stuck with a expensive partial built model. The man assured me that the kit would be completed but,,,,,, things to happen. For the time being I will just enjoy watching this on come together.
  14. Good looking model David.
  15. Got this kit today . I do not plan on building it as Grumpy’s Toy .
  16. I have that Mustang kit and the tires are in great shape . I was wondering if there was anything I could/should do to keep them good .
  17. Thanks. The base plate does not have any markings.
  18. Thank you all very much.
  19. Great looking model.
  20. For me, final assembly and mating the body to the chassis. installing windows as well sometimes.
