I've always wanted to move to California, even as a kid...... mainly for the music and car scenes. It used to be I wanted to live in SoCal, now I would rather be further north...... I would buy up a bunch of land and let the Government grow on it.....

Revell's 2009 Challenger has an excellent Hemi engine in it...... it even has decals for the 6.1 badges on the valve covers.....

Got the interior put together..... looks like the glue I'm using is gonna hold. We'll see when it's time to join chassis to body....

Thanks.... this kit is so similar to the Beetle kit, that it has a Beetle dash and steering wheel as extra parts....

Thanks, Dann! Got some progress to show...... pretty much have the belly pan done, now comes trying to attach the interior. Thanks for looking in, guys!

Thanks for the advice, Ken.... The bracing is still attached to the body, the plan is to leave it in place until I can get it painted and foiled.....

and for a good cause! I'm building a replica for a friend...... Here's the latest progress, got the suspensions painted. Also painted the engraved VWs in the wheel covers...... The rear is all one piece, I tried to make it as interesting as I could.... Thanks for lookin', guys....

Hey, Fellas.... I thought I would post my progress as I go of this little car. The kit is a Gunze Sangyo Karmann Ghia. I don't think I've seen anyone do a build thread on one, so here it goes. The kit is very nicely done, but it's very brittle plastic, as I discovered by running too cold water over it and breaking the A-pillars. The interior is molded in the same vinyl as the tires. Luckily the interior will be staying black. I'm using 'Beacon 527 multi-use' glue on the vinyl stuff....... The car will be white with a black interior and built as a convertible....

What's black & white, black & white, black & white, black & white? a penguin rolling down a hill....... What's black, white and red all over? a newspaper..... What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino? elephino.....

Party on, Garth...

I saw the people before I saw the animals.....

Hey fellas in the Truck section! I have a question.... Has anyone put the FD-100 chassis underneath the Revellogram '50 Ford pickup? I think it would make an awesome Pro-Touring project as I'm bouncing around ideas for my next build..... Any photos would be greatly welcome...... Thank You!

This is awesome info, Guys..... Thanks! I may end up buying one of the '50 Ford kits since they have the nice hop-up parts for a flathead.... Looking at reviews of these kits, it seems I would still need a good set of headers. What would be a good source for some nice chrome long-tube headers for a flathead? Thanks again.......

and even hotter

Mongo just pawn

What I'm gathering from what you guys have said, The heads, intake, and headers that I need are found in the older release of this kit with the panel "paint"..... and the newer release has the better Ardun parts......

Thanks, David...... What about the Lindberg '53 Victoria?

Hey, Fellas..... I was wondering what parts from what kits I would need to turn the Ardun engine in the '50 Ford Pickup into a regular Flat Head.... Thanks....

Picked up one of THESE bad Mamma-Jamma's! Really, tho...... I would think fire arms would be as tough a topic as politics or religion......

Do you think you could go over the foil with a Scotch Brite pad to dull it on the sheet?

It looks like the firewall should go up and over against the cowl a little higher..... that's a good looking build...

Do you have the spinners for those wheels? I have a set that should work if you should need them.....

play Ratchet & Clank

I'm always diggin' on a lowrider........ This looks pretty cool
