  3. Wow...this is sharp Al! Very nice save!
  4. Very nice Mopar Carl! I love the engine up-grade!

    71 mustang

    Nice build Michelle! Love the choice of wheels!
  7. Very cool build Brian. A very unique way of "hot-rodding" the venerable "40 Ford!
  8. Peter...there are no words to describe your level of talent, imagination, creativity, craftsmanship, etc., etc. All I can add is "OMG"!
  9. Fantastic!!! Absolutely incredible!!!
  10. Great build Tony! Love the color and the choice of wheels. Looks like a "California" car.
  11. Fantastic looking Impala Nigel! Great choice on the Keystones, and adding the "LT5". It's great to see a modern upgrade on an older year.
  12. Beautiful Impala Robert! Great detail on the wheels, and the color is fantastic. I agree with "AMT68"...maybe Testors will bring the color back.
  13. I've got one or two, but this '59 Impala was a rebuilder off of "Ebay". Needed a bit of body work, but turned out to my satisfaction when it was finished.

    "screwed up on the bolt pattern should be just the opposite of what i've got" Oh for shame John...how could you make that mistake?...are you kiddin' me? Minor error (which I doubt anyone noticed) aside...this is probably the nicest "T-Bucket" model I've seen. One of the things that sets it off is the use of the 50yr old scoops. Those alone add so much to the engine!
  15. This is "cool" Glen! Ya gotta admit it's kind of an ugly duck...but a unique build all the same!
  16. Nice little "Nova" John.

    Very cool Build John! Impressive engine detail...even a "tranny" dip-stick...nice addition. Question. Are the header brackets part of the kit?
  18. Beautiful save Michelle! Nicely done! I love the choice of wheels for this. They go well with the overall look!

    '49 Mercury

    "Just like I invisioned it!"....Wow...some vision! Roger...If "SEMA" had a model car catagory this "Merc" would be front and center! "Killer" build...really...really cool! I have an acquaintance that dropped a '53 Buick (with great patina) onto a wrecked 2010 Dodge Charger (ex-police car) with a Hemi. Intereior and all...almost fits like a glove. He has a ball everytime someone pulls up to a light and smiles at him...only to have their doors sucked off as he "smokes" them. This "Merc" is impressive, and your "vision" has definitley paid off!
  20. Beautiful "GTX" Bill! One of my favorite 'MOPARS"!
  21. Nice lookin' '48 Charlie! Love the stance...right where it needs to be!
  22. Beautiful build Chang! Awesome color and finsh!
  23. Thanks Erik...I was looking for some contact info as well!
  24. Craig, What I was looking for was an 8 to 900HP for a mild Pro-street build. I looked at what "Mad Mike" (Model Builders Warehouse) produces, he didn't have what I was looking for. "Clearly Scale" (Model Builders Warehouse - their prices are reasonable)...nope..not there either. "USCP"...curses...foiled again (they are a tad on the expensive side). "Shapeways"..some nice stuff...but, again not what I was looking for (and expensive). So that brings me to "Icemancollections". The Edelbrock Supercharged 5.0 Coyote is 785HP out of the box! Close enough, and at $19.50... a good deal. As to the quality...well...what I have is great. The material is a lot darker than what is depicted in the photos. Now I don't know a darn thing about the differences in "3D" material. I know that the better the material. The higher the price, but as I mentioned in a post above. The human eye is only going to discern just so much. And lets face it. Every one of us massages the parts to some extent or another when we build. I even spotted some flaws in some of the photos posted from other "3D" printers. I have purchased resin parts and kits for several years, and some of them couldn't hold a candle to a child with "Play-Doh". That is not the case with what I received from "Iceman". As a matter of fact. He produces a couple of other engine kits that I will be purchasing soon. One is one of the "LS" engines that will go into a '62 Buick Electra 'vert. The other will be the BOSS 302 for a '34 Ford. He has a good variety of modern engines available Am I happy with what I have purchased?...Yes!. Will I buy from "Iceman" again?...Yes!
  25. A truly magnificient build of a $6.5 million dollar car Dann. You display some great craftsmanship and patience. I myself would have thrown a set of Cragers and wide whites on it...just kiddin! It really is beautiful!
