Now that is to cool. If you guys keep it up , I am going to have to put my build of this kit at the ft of the list. Built one when it first came out ( dates me pretty well now doesn't it ) and I WILL build another one now that I'm older, wiser and hopefully better than the 1st one was.

Wasn't me, guess I have to go to work this morning -
Too all the ones making these tube chasis from scratch, WOW is all I can say and I bow down to you all. I wouldn't even begin to tackle something like this from scratch.

I have a feeling the show is before my time( probably not by much ) . Just did a youtube search and the style looks vaguly familiar but I don't remember this how at all. It has a cartoonish Buck Rogers type flavor to it Either way , I REALLY like the model replica . -
Very sad news indeed. He has a lot of stuff I would like to have on hand , maybe,( just maybe) someone will pick it up and move forward .( keeps fingers crossed ) I would like to place another order but have serious reservations ,,,,,, even though I did get my last order with no problems Bill

WIP 1961 Dodge = Bare metal foil nightmare
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Shhhhhhhh, to admit that it might show my age. Thanks to all, I can't wait to get this one on the shelf , then move on to a 1962 Dodge project (not a Ramchargers either) -
WIP 1961 Dodge = Bare metal foil nightmare
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
All the real thin strips along the body lines made BMF work very tedious and probably took me about 3 - 4 hours , I'm just glad it's done. I thought about opening the hood to add in an engine , then adding the chassis from the newer 1958 Fury for better detail,,,,,,,,, But there just isn't enough hours in the day for me. I run my own business , and with a house, wife, 2 kids - model bench time is limited so I decided to leave it as a curbside. It's probably taken me 3 or 4 months so far just to get to this point. I build for myself thus I don't need a full on detailed replica. Once it's done and on my shelf you can't see an engine anyway. Plus I have my doubts anyone but me , outside of here, along with my family and friends will ever see it anyway. -
While watching football yesterday I finally got the BMF and my tools out to get to work on this one,,, as I've been dreading it for some time. With all the trim on this car it was not a simple task to do ,,,But at least now it's done . This all started and I got the idea from another members build ( caine440) to do a 1961 Ramchargers car. I knew there were resin versions avail but i prefer to use stryene whenever I can if the price is close to each other. Once I stumbed onto a tan with pea green interior 80's re-issue on ebay several months back . I got the idea in my head I couldn't get out even with several other projects in the works . So here is where it's at as of this weekend, I've located the decals and with no issues it should be done by Christmas. Rolling stock will be the steel rims from the revell T-Bolt kit, with the correct 7" slicks from the parts box . Comments 'good and bad' are always welcome.

Pretty cool , and it gives me an idea for a future project.

Impressive is an understatement. I like this one A LOT. I used to work for a local shop that specialized in the restoring the brass era cars.,,,,and You nailed the look on this one to a T . I followed along on the build thread and it has me looking for one of these kits do for later on.

buy approx $40 worth of kits to get 4 tires, problem with this thinking is I have no use what so ever for the remainder of said mustang kit Thanks but I'll pass anyone bought one or several with plans to not use the polyglas tires , pm me . I could use several sets of the F60-15's and maybe even a few of the L60-15's
-
So the way I understand it, the only thing new about this one ,,are the tires ?
-
Not here yet, but just bought 3 more of these . that should give me maybe an even 10 or so

What are my choices for a '69 Pontiac GTO in 1/25
gtx6970 replied to jaydar's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
As far as a factory stock type build,. I think the one and only 1/25th scale is the original issue . But I'm not a pontiac guy so I could be wrong. If there is, I would like to have one and builders pop up on ebay from time to time . They are not of my must have list yet so I haven't been looking to hard . I just did a search and found this if it's of interest ( I'm just passing it on - as it's not mine nor do I know the seller ) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-MPC-1969-Pontiac-GTO-Funny-Car-3-in-1-Model-Car-Kit-NIB-/281025001168?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item416e6536d0 I do know the 1970 GTO was re-issued( I have one here) and the re-issued 1972 GTO is super easy to come up wit
