I am just going to use a Johan 1969 AMX body from a Shirley Shahan kit. I've already done a test fit on a Willie Borsch chassis and it's a near perfect fit. The actual car was nothing but an altered under the AMX body Here is an article I found http://home.fuse.net/jallphin/cool-pictures/AMX1UP.jpg

Great, another place I have to start keeping an eye out for model kits Nice save btw

chop chop then, I'll take the 1st set if you want to pm me when there ready. If your are going to do them I'll stop looking and wait for yours done yet ?

Pretty cool ,,,,,, I've always had a soft spot for the IMSA and/or SCCA cars, , I have always wanted to take a hot lap in one to this day

I do like 'some' of there music but never enough of an interest to see them live them or now. Now, as for your avatar, thats a whole different subject. I would have paid dearly to have seen them live. But with Richard Wright's passing thats not going to happen.

I should be there with my 12 year old daughter, it's her 1st ever contest . She wants to show off here Ramchargers 1965 Dodge I'll be in a red shirt with A+M Hightech Automotive on it. I will not be there till maybe 10 / 10-30 or so

My best guess ,,,,,is no. I walked away from actually building for nearly 10 years. and I would still buy something when it caught my eye . I guess thats why I have the stash I have.

There was one but in I think it's 1/43rd scale ? maybe 1/32nd . I have one but don't know where it's at right now . AFAIK, no 1/25th scale was ever avail. if there was, I want one.

AHHHHHH ,,,, you funny guy

Agreed This is just the visible end of one shelf , I have 4 shelves same size and depth ( 3 kits deep ) but this is just the Johan stack. Yeah, I have a problem

whats taking so long. Not like you got anything else to do right ? lol

Thanks , will do . He has an Ebay store ( website is gone )

I know I've seen it somewhere,,,,, but can't remember where to save my butt. I've looked all over Slixx's website and found nuttin that even comes close. I sent them an email , so only time will tell I've been all thru Altered States, Slixx, Speedcity Resin, Whoppiecat, Special Appearence , Jack Smith decals and come up blank on them all Any others ?

Another alternative is thin beading wire, used to string beads for necklaces. I found it in the jewelry aisle at Hobby Lobby. It's a little stiffer than thin solder would be. It's what I used on these custom door panels: Excellant idea, plus it can be bought in several sizes / gauges

The pictures I posted are on a MPC 1970 Charger I did many years ago and they have a very thin chrome band on the door panels , thus what I was trying to replicate . Doing something that thin with BMF was not going to happen. I bent it after paint when I realized the BMF wasn't going to have the results I wanted . I never thought about doing it pre-paint but that would work as well ( maybe better ) and I've never seen solder that thin I stumbed onto it when I was on a lunch break one day with a buddy of mine when we stoped in so he could buy new strings for his guitar. As soon as I saw them I thought of park brake cables for models . plus they're avail in various sizes .

paint in flat then rub your finger over it,your body oils adds a slight sheen to it

I used guitar string many years ago . It takes some patience but making thin stainless trim can be done. I just did a dab of superglue to hold it in place all these years,,,,, even through some rough handling ( aka dropped it ) it stayed attached. It also works well for brake and fuel lines that have the spiral wrap, AND parking brake cables ( just remove the spiral wrap ) ps, bending the stuff is tough so keep that in mind if u go this route

Any one know if the decals to do this car are avail ? I have this one on the short list as it looks like a pretty straightforward conversion with a Johan AMX body on a Borsch altered chassis /engine / running gear

what they said

Agreed, I can look at it for hours and it looks fantastic,Thinking in my head this one ______ come out fantastic then snap a picture and when I post it for all to see. it looks so crappy I almost take the picture back down.

What !!!!!!!!! ,,,,do I see a plastic transmission ? tell me it isn't so . no aluminum case with gears inside and a working shifter ?????,,,,slacker jk btw

I would but I have to many in works now , plus I only have the one original Demon builtup that I am using to replicate my old 1/1 . so I am going to have to wait till the re-release comes out this fall/winter

I've seen the Pro Tech line and it is hands down the most accurate for the scale , but if 100% accuracy is not required, look in the beading isle at Micheals . they have a couple different sizes that fit the bill for me Everything show here came from that isle, the beads themselfe I am not 100% happy with the sizes and may change them, or may not

Welcome to the club, Had the same attraction for ,,oh,,, about 45 years now ! My toy fund has difficulty keeping up some times

Uh,,,,, we need a WIP with LOTS of pictures . I for one would d REALLY like to do this car
