    Since I'm up early this morning I thought I'd start it off this week.

    I built this '32 as a place to display the really nice Olds engine that comes in Revell's new '50 Olds kit. I thought it was just too nice an engine to hide under a hood!

  3. We were invited to do a model car display at Jalopyrama yesterday. Frankly, all the models are mine or Norm Vebers - non of our other club members showed up.

    2002p51 that olds is bad ass!
    harley rider, I've been wanting to build a willys and that ones awesome!

    I managed to mostly resurect the engine from the Mongoose kit with minimal breakage but the hoses are quite dry rotted so I'll be looking to replace those at some point but it will likely be shelved for a little while because I'm gonna bild an OT ride for an X-mas gift, and I've got a couple others in the planing stages!

    On the Dodge Charger , that's some of the most REALISTIC scraping work I have ever seen . You need to show some tutorial shots on one of the model building boards .

    Here's a 64 Dodge i've been messing with. I made the fenderwell headers. And have moved the rearend forward in it. I have yet to figure out what color to paint it?

    Those headers look good. When I built this Belvedere, I went with a "weekend project" look. I might have chosen a bright blue had I wanted a show car finish, though.

    Thanks!

    Nah, I've just been real busy with 1:1 scale race photography and such.
     
  30. Thanks Drew..I almost added the dual headlite buckets from the 50 Ford too.
    The opening on the '50 Olds is just asking for them,
    frenched , tunneled or even hooded like the 55 Chevy....hahaha
