i managed to squeeze of a whole 4 complete builds this year the first is a 70s superbee it is the new MPC body on a RC car chassis i build it for my son who played with it for about 3 weeks before he totaled it (something tells me i will have a deja vu about this in about 14 years) the paint is nailpolish and the window tint is 1:1 tint) next up is my 74 GTX did not come out how i envisioned it at all i wanted this to be a weekend warrior, faded chipped paint, rolling on deep dish steelies with a shiny 440 under the hood but when it came out of the paintbooth the paint was so crisp i didnt have the heart to kill it so i went with a pro-touring theme instead i replaced the steelies with a set of rollers from a lamborghini and added a custom decal to the GTX (the kit came without decals) my third completion is roscoes cruiser, build almost OOB the only real changes are the underpinnings and the engine i used the stock engine bay and grafted that to the pro street chassis from the 71 superbee i used the overhead twin cam hemi from the same pro street 'bee but to be sure it had enough power to keep up with the general (or the space shuttle atlantis for that matter) i added a supercharger and two turbos and finaly there is the 67 GTX this model was build to replicate a hotwheels car in 1/25 i used the revell kit with duplicolor paint, wheels from the revell street bug and a spoiler from a nascar grand prix the decal is a custom adaptation from the stock decal after 3 failed paint attempts there you have it 4 model cars this has actually been a pretty good year
