pancho1969 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Here's a buick grand national regal conversion I did enjoy
crazyjim Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Don't care for those kind of wheels/tires, but enjoyed the details of your build.
diymirage Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Don't care for those kind of wheels/tires, but enjoyed the details of your build. i agree i like the model but its hard to apreciate it with those rollers under it
Jordan White Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Looks great, and the wheels aren't bad since they are color matched. Edit: Didn't see the "Regal Conversion" Edited March 4, 2010 by YJIslander
ScrappyJ Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Ditto! Not big on the "donk" movement, but that is some nice, clean detail you've got going on.
bad0210 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 i think it looks good all around instead of others that have to rag just because they dont like something. the engine looks real good.
Jordan White Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 i think it looks good all around instead of others that have to rag just because they dont like something. the engine looks real good. I see no ragging, just people saying that they don't like the wheels.
bad0210 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 but its like the model cant look good unless it has approval through the wheel department. everyone that post a donk lookin car a ton of people just have to say it looks good except for the wheels. cant the work be complemented on without saying it looks good but if it didnt have those wheels because its not my taste. maybe these modelers just want to here you did a very good job hitting a lot of details. not, you did a good job but i cant like it because im not in to those big wheels. most people like me just want to here how good i did not how much you cant stand my preferences. just my 2 cents.
FordWagonNut Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Nice clean build. Been wanting to do a proper conversion myself. But still stand offish about cutting and filling the hole on the hood. But I am learning with my '76 Firebird Esprit conversion from a Formula.
VW Dave Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Put me on the 'donks aren't my thing, but it looks fantastic to me' list. Great job on the conversion, and it's packed with clean details. but its like the model cant look good unless it has approval through the wheel department. everyone that post a donk lookin car a ton of people just have to say it looks good except for the wheels. cant the work be complemented on without saying it looks good but if it didnt have those wheels because its not my taste. maybe these modelers just want to here you did a very good job hitting a lot of details. not, you did a good job but i cant like it because im not in to those big wheels. most people like me just want to here how good i did not how much you cant stand my preferences. just my 2 cents. I'll see your two cents, and raise you a nickel. Nobody said they can't stand the OP's preferences(feel free to re-read the posts, I'll wait), they all just said that the wheels weren't their chosen style - other than that, all I see are well-deserved compliments on the build. When posting anything on a public forum, expect honesty....if you need to be treated with kid gloves because you fear criticism, and only want to hear what a good job you did, don't post anything.
bad0210 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) my point was that every time someone post a donk style car, 50 people dont have to chime in saying how they cant stand the style of wheels, i understand that they werent being rude but there is a rant section with several topics of this. i was making a point of cant we just comment on the details of the build, i doubt any body cares to here if someone doesnt like that style car from 50 different people if that is the style they do like. so know you dont have to treat it with kids gloves and you dont have to get smart with me either. theres no reason to post over and over that someone doesnt like the wheels.

Blake Rogers Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) i agree with VW Dave on this one and i don't like the wheels either just my 2 cents..... Edited March 5, 2010 by moparfan426
RodneyBad Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I think it looks Great. I don't mind DONKs or what not. What can I say, I like Riding Tall in the Saddle 4x4s or cars. (just need some Mudders ) Paint looks good and nice detailing.. Great looking build
pancho1969 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Thanks for all the complaments guys. I already knew most people here would have a problem with my wheel choice before I posted it up. I'm ok with it i build what I like not what another builder thinks is rite

nails3825 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 That's an awesome build, great details ~ love it! There was a car I kept seeing on the way to work with the same type of wheels ~ an old cutlass I believe... with a crazy sparkly lime green paint job. Every time I saw it I had to laugh, it looked ridiculous But it did make me smile every day. We all have different styles... that's what makes us who we are
gray07 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I like it, i built alot of gn but never thought about making it a regal and whats bad about it i used to drag race a regal for about 7 years, very cool
