Well guys i finally got Landys car finished! My first time using resin..what a pain! All in all it turned out pretty good for my first model in 2 years. I give it about a b+. Now mind you this isnt an exact replica of Dandy Dicks car. I kind of put my own spin on it just for fun. I had some fitment isues with the body to the frame. Its not quite right but its close. I worked on it for a long time but couldnt figure out what was holding it up. I think it it was the interior tub. The motor is a Ross Gibson Hemi. I have NEVER put that uch detail into a motor in my life. The dashboard,windshields and front bumper were all robbed from an original 65 screw bottom Ramchargers car. So what do you guys think? I cant get crazy detailed like some of you guys. Gonna enter it in a show tomorrow and see how it does. Heres some pics! Let me know what you think!....Joe

Trying to get it done for a model show in a couple of weeks. Its the most detailed motor i have ever done so far. I dont know how you guys get everything so detailed......lol.

Heres an update on my AWB. Got it all primered and ready to sand. Its really great quality and doesnt need any putty. Just needs a light sanding. Question is what grade should i use? I have 800,1000, and 200 grit. And as far as the motor goes its a Ross Gibson injected 426 Hemi. I know they say to primer resin put some of the parts are so darn small how the heck do you do it? Any ideas?.Heres a couple of pics -
