wgflatliner Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Here is the other two unused intake manifolds. In a sense it's cool that I have an entire spare motor that I can use with something else.
Dirkpitt289 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I just started watching this movie last night. This is going to sound bad but I can't remember if I've ever seen it before. Well I'm hoping to watch the rest tonight and hopefully be inspired. I'm not sure what I'll build but I'm sure it'll have a blue oval on it.
Nick Winter Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 Mark, that looks like the '69 GTX hemi, think it was in the GTX, might have been the Roadrunner kit. Dirk, I'll put you on the list as undeceided. Nick
wgflatliner Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Primered and painted tamiya blue violet. Engine is almost done. Might also get the chassis and undercarriage sprayed tonight.
Nick Winter Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 Another vote for the color Mark. Nick
martinfan5 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I think I might have come closer to deciding what I am going to build
wagonmaster Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I think I might have come closer to deciding what I am going to build And the winner is???????
martinfan5 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Its a spare eleanor body I have, no hood, its not a perfect reisn body, thats why it was giving to me with my other eleanor body. So kind of thinking using it
wgflatliner Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I didn't bring it with me to work today but I did get the bmf and decals on last night. I went with white decals. I am going with a black interior to give it a stock look. Just a couple dots of touch up paint and then I will get it clear coated. I didn't get a chance to paint the chassis yet, but have plans to do that tonight. If I put enough effort into completing this I am sure I can wrap it up tonight or over the weekend. I'll get pictures tonight.
CorvairJim Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 My Cannonball car is getting a lot of my attention at the moment, and I also have a commissioned build due in a month or so, but then I should be able to get cracking on my V-8 Corvair (and several other CBP builds I'm committed to! )
martinfan5 Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 If I can get my hands on the donar kit needed , I am going to do the eleanor body , but I am having a hard time, and i need two of the kits, So I am still looking for a backup to build.
wgflatliner Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 My coronet is almost done. I got the chassis done and interior 90% done, and the body is cleared and waiting for it to cure. After it cures then it's final assembly. For the interior all that's left is painting the dash and detailing the door panels and center console. Then windows and bumpers. I didn't bring it to work to snap photos, but being I am almost done, the next photos will likely be completed model.
wagonmaster Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Dingo, Cool kit, but just make sure you drive on the proper side of the road, which is the right side. LOL Tim
Dingo5162 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Yea Yea Tim I know, RHD car RH side of the road I have been to the states before but would never go back had a horrible time. Don't get me wrong Tim the people where great the food OK it was just the wrong time of the year, your winter our summer and we nearly froze luckily some kind folks gave us winter clothes as we didn't expect it to be that cold as our winters are more wet than cold here in Australia. Anyway back to the car as soon as I can get the RHD dash and the Mustang kit I'll be building but it could be more towards the end of the year than now, thanks for U'r remarks on the Falcon kit though it is a great kit and for a poly/resin kit very good the Partsbox here in my home state South Australia have done a good job.

Car Crazy 81 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Nick, you can put me down im looking to enter a Monogram 70 Pontiac Trans Am im replicating mines from the 1976 movie "Cannonball"
wgflatliner Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Coronet gave me a difficult time. I need to break out the Dremel because I forgot to grind away material in the vent windows per the instructions. Also, the front frame assembly came off the rest of the chassis. So I will try to knock it out when I get home, should the styrene gods allow.
Nick Winter Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Hi, sorry Gumballers about my MIA status, works been very busy, exams on top of it didn't help. Rick, I'll add it up. Mark, look forward to your progress. Nick
wgflatliner Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 alright so i had some issues with my build. the front frame was being stupid and kept snapping off, so i got frazzled and just wanted to get it done. not my best work by any means. but it's done!
Nick Winter Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Looks great Mark, color really stands out! Nick
Nick Winter Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Just when you thought I hadn't been doing anything.......... Custom hood I made with the other kit supplied bird Nick Edit: still needs polished and BMFed Edited January 30, 2012 by Nick Winter
Haubenschild Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Nice job nick , I think firechickens look best in red
