  4. Thanks fellows.
  5. Beautiful model and car !!
  6. Looks great Jim ! BTW how are you doing ?
  7. Thanks a lot fellows.
  8. Hey Bill, I'm working on that kit now. The front end is pretty fidgety , or at least it was for me.
  9. Thank you very much guys !
  10. This was built for a neighbor of my best friend (50 years ) . Won't go into the whole story as it is in the build section. Let's just say he has health problems. Anyway, this is a replica of his Sunday car. I started with the AMT Nova kit. I bought the AMT 57 Vette kit to get the correct wheels. The interior is flocked. I used MM red lacquer paint with 3 coats of clear. It was polished some with Novus. I used a pair of resin slicks from Speed City Resin. ( good people ). I cut some aluminum tubing for the exhaust tips. Tach from the parts box. Bought the cowl hood on ebay. Modified a center console to mimic the one he has in the car. Used a display case and just added a few diorama things. Made a rear plate that matches his. Car was built curbside so no engine or chassis detail. Harry, if you read this the mirror is being sent with the model and my buddy will install. : )
  11. This one is finished and pics will be in the " Under Glass" section soon.
  12. Yesterday I went to the DMV to renew my drivers license. 45 minutes in and out. Not bad ! And yes, I did get a new one.
  13. I think I am more upset that I can not get a reply to a polite simple email asking about the parts then I am about what I consider an extended wait time.
  14. Nice cars Carl ! Great paint !
  15. Not a fan of the whole rat rod thing but I like this one. Maybe I have to rethink my position on rat rods.
  16. You definitely have your own style of building. I like it !
  17. Nice ! My first car was a 62 Ford but it didn't look this good !
  18. Can't speak for you but I don't feel that over 4 months for some tires is what I would refer to as "rapid acquisition". The point is they should tell you when you give them your money that there will be an extended wait. They can't make one tire a month ? This is just my opinion and if yours differ, so be it. : )
  19. No accounting for taste. Not as bad as those cheap stick on portholes people stick on their front fenders.
  20. I agree, nice looking model.
