i lost my custom license plate for this

Loved watching every step. Great job! wanna rub some of your talent off on me? I would love to have a 24th or 25th scale version for my collection only in a Dark Blue.

glue it in after you put the body on frame. theres little tabs that stick out of the inner fenders thats where the radiator will sit against.

yes i would like to see more of your vette too.

yeah i wasnt the best at putting the numbers on.

This is a curbside build. i took my first attempt at a 71 cuda from about 7 years ago and built it again. it has no engine because i stole it for a chevy. the wheels are superglued to the body because both axles are broke. the wheels are from the amt 1996 svt mustang. then i just added decals and a maisto viper spoiler and its done. sponsors include skull candy headphones mr gasket, Traxxas, Ace Welding, Coyote Auto Center, and Plymouth of course. The skull candy logo on the hood is hand painted. I did this in an hour and 38 minutes so its not a real show of my talents.

now do a mustang

well i remembered i have a flikr account hopefully it works. The steering wheel is a custom one from a mustang i believe.

Finished it wow that was aquick build probably my fastest. great kit. I did leave the back bumper off i though it looked better with the rat scheme. it will be underglass as soon as my parents get back from vacation cuz they took the good cameras. But dang photo bucket wont upload.

i got some pictures coming today

perfect.

Carl i like that vette, and ira your custom work still amazes me

so did u finish it like you expected?

sweet how did u get it to look like snake skin?

I STARTED THE ENGINE YESTERDAY ITS GOLD. NO IDEA WHY I CHOSE GOLD FOR THE ENGINE BUT I DID. IM PRETTY SURE EVEN THOUGH THE KRYLON CAN SAID MATTE BLACK THAT ITS CLOSER TO GLOSS. THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND MODEL IVE USED KRYLON ON, ALL THE OTHERS WERE TESTORS EXCLUDING A DIECASFT FORD TRUCK PAINTED TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY INTERNATIONAL RED FOR TRACTORS.

both custom vettes look great. im going with the road warrior/rat rod look. i painted the body krylon matte or semi gloss black, the wheels will be the same color and it will be topped off with red interior. going for another quick build if i can. oh and the guy i bought this off is at the cleveland ohio autorama every year. he sells alot of stuff and i think models max at 15 and diecast at 25 dollars. he s a huge dale earnheart fan so the have #3 kits and diecasts.

well after school turned into after work and its 8pm here so ill get pictures tomorrow build starts friday after school. yep hes also got a revell honda civic for 5 but im a honda hater

Got this from a friend at school for 5 bucks everything still in its package and the decals still look usable. im thinking about customizing it some. suggestions. Oh and the box is in great condition. ill get pictures after school.

sweet so will this be in the under glass section soon or with this turn into the worlds most custom awesome before it becomes leader of the completes

um wow this thing just got better

nice save i coulda never done that i woulda just gonna crazy and tryed to get a new set or like you said print a set

the mpc 71 roadrunner how badly off is the angling of the nose cone compared to a 70 superbird nose cone?

nice i just built this kit too. i love the blue but the wheels make my eyes bleed

so about how long ago were these 1/12 kits made?

lol
