TarheelRick Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Although it is not a Gasser, I am looking forward to this build. I have one in my stash and will be watching for any areas of concern. Build on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I built all of the ones in the OG form, probably around 1970. The Comet, Mustang, Falcon and the Time Machine 1965 Chevelle. I built another Chevy II around 1995 when I got back into modeling... man did it look like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. I should un-box it and give it a new life. Like the old MPC modified kits, they are a good start to a well detailed build. Like a blank canvas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna build the falcon one but I would do a mustang but use a revell kit as a donor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one I'd like to see again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58 Impala Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I'll be watching your build. I just recently started building the same kit. I needed to find a kit to get me out of a building slump. It needs a lot of mold lines cleaned up. I plan on adding a little bit of extra details since the model is pretty simple. I have seen other peoples builds of this kit on this forum. Looks like it can be made to look pretty nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brockc Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Some more progress I have painted the headers for it I’ve also bent one of the rear leaf springs so it has that 1 wheel in the air look at a launch here’s that tourqey look it will have but I have to get this and my ranchero finished before I can start my newest kit which is the dda hq custom which will be built as an 80s aussie streeter complete with a crower injected sbc but that will wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brockc Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 I have done some scratch building on the interior of this kit as it is extremely basic and I have done work on the firewall I am still undecided on what colour I’m leaning into a yellow like a mQQneyes style gasser then to do a nova wagon as a mQQneyes shop sedan delivery or do it in a green and make a matching sedan delivery as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 VHT also makes a nice silver paint for wheels. Argent Silver, made for older Ford wheels and splash pans. Their Rollcage & Chassis black is also quite good. As a kid, most of us brush painted the silver on the interiors, we thought it looked GOOD. I did graduate to spray cans of Testors flat black to do the bulk of chassis painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
