Hey everybody! This is my just completed Eliminator from Monogram. I just love this car, I guess growin' up in the '80's you couldn't help but see this car on MTV all the time! Testors Italian Red was used on the exterior with Tamiya clear, four coats of each. The interior was done in Humbrol leather, with craft ribbon used for the cloth pieces. Flocked carpeting, removal of old stock exhaust, dechroming of some parts, and installation of distributor and wires were a few of the things I did to this car. For more info and build pictures, see the Tv and Movie community build in the build section (thanks Nick). I present to you: THE ELIMINATOR!!!

Hi Ed,

That is a sharp looking Eliminator! Nice job on the finish. This model is a trip down memory lane for me as well. I built it myself as a kid, but it was nowhere near the quality of your model. And the videos! Not only was ZZ Tops's music kick arse, but the videos! I remember them quite well (what adolescent male who was coming of age at that time wasn't oogling the hot babes getting in and out of the car in the vids ;) ). Thanks for the bit 'o nostalgia in regards to your model and again, great job.

Cheers,

Albert
