I need to think outside the model box more often. This is a great idea

Hopefully someone picks up his files and carries on SMH does in fact shows these in stock . http://stores.smhracing.com/warlord-camaro-f-c/

Cool idea, but oh so ugly ( IMO )

One more piece to the 1958 annuals puzzle. A clean built-up of the original issue 1958 Edsel convertible . This one gives me all of the 58 annuals except the 58 Impala Also got an unbuilt Johan 1962 Chrysler 300 kit ,,molded in white plastic

That is to fricken cool

Was in my local hobby shop today for some paint supplies. And while i was there I just ' had ' to buy a kit. So I pulled the trigger on one of the new 1972 Hurst Olds convertible kit. I will NOT be building it as the Hurst Olds or a 442 . Just a plain old Cutlass convertible to replicate a friend of mines car .

WOW< I still think your nuts,,,,,,,,,,,but in a good way. So keep em coming When this does make its debut all done, I hope if gets pages and pages of magazine coverage. I assume its not going to be in time for the Desert Scale Classic this year? And I just thought of this,,,but does Don Prodhome know this is in the works ?

I'd drive the snot out of the Packard. It has an early delahaye figoni look to it that I really , really like

Last year for Blue line tire on a Mopar was 1966 , Actually ,,,I Think the blue stripes were only avail 1965 and 1966 model years( MAYBE avail on 1964 Barracudas ,,but I'm not familair with those) 1967 thru 1969 were a red line or white lines ,, in 1967 it was a 7.75 - 14 1968 + 1969 it was F70-14 or F70-15 depending on equipment ( there was a G70-15 Goodyear redline avail ,,,but on the A12 cars only ) then raised white letter become avail as an option in 1970 with the white walls as standard on most and I think anything prior to 65 ,,was a white stripe tire.

One of my favorite cars of the day. I am so looking forward to see the hand done artwork for the body

Ayone know if the actual still exists. It didnt fare so well on the circuit back then and was kind of short lived

its how i do mine. Sometimes silver paint will do

WOW My hats off to everyone who builds the larger scale kit. You guys make them look so real

Well, after 2 or 3 years sitting on the bench or in a box. Its done , ( that's 3 in less than 2 weeks ,, which just might be a record for me ) This is one of the kits where the body and interior tins are all molded in a clear red plastic. . There's nothing on it but a coat of wax Built straight out of the box. I cant decide if I want to put the parachute on the back or not as I think i it muddles up the back of the car . Gonna have to think about it for a bit. Until then its in the case for another day Comments good or bad very welcome and much appreciated. thanks for looking.

VERY Well said. I would much rather they just make a note on the instructions to drill the holes out IF NEEDED, as 90% of my builds will not have stock exhaust anyway

That was the 1st thing I thought of when I opend this thread. I really like it ,,,,,,,a lot.

I've had a couple opportunities to sell this one for much more than I paid for it. Even after I started it. But I no longer buy kits to make profit on. I buy for me . Even when new I didnt know they were moulded in red, I thought the ghoust cars were all moulded in clear. So I was pleasently surprised when I opened the box. I've ckd ebay a few times and never seen a red Cuda or charger come up for sale

I already have a set of Butch Leal decals to do his RO51 ?

Chassis On the 1/1 it was most definitely a light powder blue.

The body and interior tins are molded in a clear red plastic. I have one of the ghost chargers but its molded in clear ,,,not sure what I'm going to do with it . But I did manage to get some bench time this afternoon and I have it about finished. I'll button up a few loose ends this morning and call it done.

Well, moving onto another unfinished project. This one was up next. I decaled the body,painted the engine , assembled the chassis and suspension and its sat ever since. So I spent the morning working on it. I started this car maybe 3 or 4 years back. Only to get sidelined when my mind got sidetracked.( easy to do ) Not anymore. I want it done , off the bench and in my display case by the end of the week. Its box stock build ( I keep moving forward with less likelihood of distractions that way ) I was wondering how to glue the interior tins in to avoid glue marks on the clear body, Turns out they fit pretty snug so no glue needed. I have seen pics of this car with either a red chassis and black, in the end I decided the black would show up better under the clear body Comments or criticisms always welcome , I'm a big boy I can take it.

All the Polar lights chassis are the same,,just a different body. Competition resin makes a nice body to this car I'll be tuned in for this one. I saw the restored car a couple years ago at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green Ky

Very cool. Can I have it I have one of these right on top of the todo list ,,the very top actually. I made a promise to myself to finsh any and all projects first before starting something new this year.

My parents drove whatever caught there eye at that time. So I was loyal to none. My first car was a 1966 Pontiac Tempest. 2nd was a 1967 Cougar. Then I found a Blue on blue 69 RoadRunner for $150 and drove it home , and its been all Mopar ever since. That was about late summer 1978. It was all jacked up with L60-15 Kelly super Chargers and it was fast and loud.

Thanks all. I have to pick up some paint for the sidemarkers while I am out today. ( mine was dried up ) Weather is not coperating today so getting decent pics is tough .If by chance the sun comes out I will get a better picture of the grille . My plan is once his car is up and driving,,,I will make a copy of his license plates and add them then. And he hasnt decided on what kind of outside mirror yet on his car, so I will add one then . With any luck his will be on the street later this year .
