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.

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

Question about commissioning models.
gtx6970 replied to ownnddd's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 ) -

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 -

I have a problem...
gtx6970 replied to Lovefordgalaxie's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 -
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

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.

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 ) -
