crazyjim Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Finally finished one and it's this '66 Nova. The kit slicks were tossed and replaced with a set of MT Sportsman tires from Ma's Resin. They're big and fill the wheel wells nicely. I tried making T fittings from 1/16" brass tubing. Soldered 2 pieces together and shot with Alclad. Wheels are also Alclad. Paint is Duplicolor bahama blue and cleared. Had to scratch an exhaust system from floral wire because the kit doesn't really have one.
Fanof69 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 That's Crazy nice Jim. Seriously that's top notch!!
cobraman Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Great looking car Jim. Complete with one of those cool interiors. How long did it take for you to get your tires from Ma's resin ? I ordered some quite awhile ago and I am still waiting and no reply to emails.
crazyjim Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Thank you Joe, Ray, and Terry.My last order with Ma's Resin took several months to be delivered. I ordered a bunch of tires so they'd last me a while. Almost time to get another order going. I'm not sure if Al is still working or not. I know he was trying to sell his business.
bbowser Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Great model. Love the color, nice work under the hood.
cobraman Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Several months ??? Wow ! I didn't expect them in a week or two but months ? He should say that up front and let people know if that is acceptable to them. I have been told by other members he will come through in time which is good but I am not sure I would order again.
