  1. To be honest. My favorite is actually one of my most recent. Also one of the fastest builds I've ever done. Start to finish in just over 24 hours. It was far easier than I imagined it was going to be and turned out much better than I thought it would.
  2. I was in one of the local hobby shops yesterday . They had maybe 4 or 5 of these. I just could not get excited about buying one. I walked out with nuttin but paint for some other builds I have in the wings
  3. While displaying some model at a local contest a few years ago. A man walked up to ask me how much I would charge to make a replica of his car ( Plymouth Superbird ) Not a hard kit to find obviously. But when I told him $100 plus the kit and materials ,,,and to expect to pay well north of $250 - 300 or more depending on how detailed he wanted it. He said no thanks . Yet, I have a few builds I've turned down over $500 for. And oddly enough 3 or 4 of the cars I've built in the past 18 months ,,,,, were for family and friends and I refused to take any kind of payment for. ( they own the actual 1/1 I was trying to copy )
  4. its a stock wheel base Super Stock car. The altered wheelbase car isn't due out till next year
  5. Ahhh, the cammer. Even though I'm a diehard mopar guy. I've always thought the cammer was one of the best looking engines ever produced. I've had a project in my head for years to build a Cobra with one in it
  6. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=IMC+Avenger+GT-12&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=41005&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1
  7. I'll tinker with a done build every so often. Usually to redo something I was not happy with in the beginning. Like maybe tweak the ride height , add decals I didn't have before. I actually have one I have been thinking that I want to strip and repaint, as I now have the decals to redo it
  8. value is determined by the buyer at any given time. I've seen 2 of those kits sell in the past year. One sold at over 1700. The other didnt break 500
  9. I believe the the side trim insert on a sport fury has a machine turned insert. Fury is simply painted like shown But,,,,, considering the car shown it might just be a hogg pogg of parts
  10. 1964 Plymouth side trim designates it a Fury
  11. Me ? I am maybe an hour northeast of Louisville.
  12. looking fantastic so far. I remeber seeing a mustang bodied funnycar. Where the engine sat in it sideways I want say it was a Kallita built car??????
  13. Well, while rummaging around in the stash this afternoon. I stumbled onto this one. Started long ago ( been so long I don't remember when ) So I sat it on the workbench to be the next up. Summer is tough for me to get modeling time,,,but not impossible. So it make take a little time to actually call it done. Its the Johan body and interior with the chassis from the AMT 1968 Roadrunner kit. engine will be from the parts box . Painted in Testors Petty blue with the required black vinyl top , it'll be white interior and lettering. 440 six barrel auto power train. Want to replicate a car a good friend of mine used to own.
  14. Same here, my 3rd trip in 3 weeks. they had a boatload of the crown vic police cars and all kinds of military and sci-fi kits ( no interest in any of them) I did pick up 2 of the Petty Talladega kits just for grins ,,,might make decent parts kit. ( these haven't been there the past 2 weeks ,,,so stock is being added as time goes by )
  15. A super clean - unpainted builder MPC 1968 Coronet RT convertible Sure wish I could find a 68 hardtop kit to go with it
  16. I like this one a lot. must feel good to be near the end
  17. Street rods have certainly come a long way since I was a kid.
  18. I have a Kenz and Leslie cougar funnycar on my desk , and the SOHC valve covers with a cougar on them is in it ,,chances are they're in all the AMT cougar AA/FC kits
  19. The more I hear about the sedan the more I think I'll wait till the Butch Leal version comes out. I have a Satellite and the body as straight as an arrow
  20. I'll be dang,,,,,There is a car in the picture,,,,
  21. Its the Jack Chrisman - aka Sachs and Son car. The car was pretty radically altered back in its day
  22. Well done,,,Very well done .
  23. The Cady sheet was for the 63 -64 dodge.
  24. i dont remember ever seeing the decals for this car
