Thanks Dave! Appreciate it! I saw his Ebay list a couple weeks back and have been in contact with him. He's a great guy and he lives only a short distance from the Watkins Glen track.

Still need to tidy up the paint and add some more decals but the "Grabber Blue" 1970 Mustang Nitro coupe is coming along nicely so far! Better than the last 2 bodies I mucked up!!!!!!!!!

Nice Mustang Dave!

I likes that hood ornament on the Mustang, nice work with the stripes. Pair it up beside that red/silver one for a Ford shootout!!! Great detail work on the 240 also. :thumbsup::thumbsup: for the Mustang, :thumbsup::thumbsup: for the 240...RM

You're getting better every time!!! Sweet 240!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks guys. Been making heaps of mistakes which means I'm learning every time. RM the blue Mustang used to be the red/silver one. I changed my mind on that one!

Looks good!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Nice stuf kd. :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

Doh!!! I guess that kills the shootout :p:p RM

RM, I may have to mess around with a old Tyco pro Camaro, would be good opposition for the Mustang??????
Thanks for your comments. "Little Yella Vette" pics will be up tonight!

Looking forward to the pics, Dave!

Kiwi,

That Datsun has got that race appeal to it with those nice rims you put under it. Classic!

Bob...That blue looks great on your Mustang Muscle car too...zilla

No clear coat on the Mustang yet Zilla. That color should pop then! "Little Yella Vette" started life as a Red 1960 Tyco Vette with a roof. Ended up using a Curvehugger chassis because I think the wheels fit and look good on this body. And Mrs Kiwidave told me soo!!!!!! She has good taste!!!
Happy with this car and the finish came out the best I have managed yet. Big thanks to the guys that have been giving me advice.

Sweet! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice Kiwi yellow VETTE!!!!!! yEAH mRS. keWi has good taste as those rims do look fine.

Bob...if your not carefull you will be meeting with Randy and Jimmy in the SCA program...zilla

Thanks very much for your comments guys! Now I have run out of parts,bodies,decals so can just gaze upon some unfinished builds for now!!!
Cheers Zilla I am going to need the SCA program that 1940 coupe I am building is stuck in my head and won't go away! Need decals, need decals,need decals. AAaaaaaaaaRRRRRRrrrrGGGGGGGGhHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfinished project. Managed to mount the body this weekend. Starting to look like something now. All going well I should have the coupe finished this week. Changed my mind on the decals and will just detail the body. Keep it smooth and clean.

57 Chevy resin body mounted low(Low is good) on a AFX Mag chassis. Been meaning to finish this one off for a while. Got motivated yesterday! Still not as good a finish as you guys can do but getting there! Thanks guys for the inspiration and advice.

Looks great without any decals and think you made a good call on that decision. Smooooooooooooooooooooooooth! That Cherry 57 on the other hand looks just right with those flames sitting up front on it. HOT!

Bob...great that sublime green color is stuck in between my ears now...zilla

Cheers Zilla. Did a few laps with the Red Chevy. Fun little car! Looks good doing laps. Got the bug now. Hobby or habit?????????

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/chevy.jpg

Looking good there KD :thumbsup::thumbsup: I likes that low ride, never thought about a 4gear setup, doh!!! It's on my list now!!! Thanks...RM
P.S. Thanks for the taillight correction. Tyco screwed that up, uh Rich :p:p!!!

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/greencoupe.jpg

KD, I guess you know your making the price of 4 gear chassis's go up!!! Just a reminder!!! That shade of green is looking good on the 40 :thumbsup::thumbsup: ... RM

Wow, That 40 ford is pure awesomeness!! I am left wondering will there be a hood or a motor gracing the engine compartment???? Looks really good all hunkered down like that!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

OH MAN that's a bitchin build Dave. I'm drooling.

Great fitment and stance...and of course it's GREEN!!!!

I've always been a proponent of the "backing away / less is more mantra".

I feel a Ford kick coming on.

SWEET CARS MAN!! Ford Willy and 57 Chevy!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Thanks very much for your comments guys. Today I received 6 different sets of wheels inserts. One of them I think will be perfect for the green coupe. slotcarman12078 naked engine for this one!!!

Slammed Bad Dawg Camaro. Pro street (or maybe Pro mod) Bad Dawg Cuda coming soon as well. Waiting on parts to finish these projects off.

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/69camaro.jpg

This one should be good!!! Looks like another 4 gear setup...RM

Being a novice the 4-gear chassis is a good option for me. It is narrow and the 3 wheelbase holes make it easier to match up to the bodies.

Kiwi,

Pro Kewl is more like it...Vrooooooooooom, vrooooooooom, Screeeeeeeeeeeeeatch!!

This picture reminds me of the movie "Used Cars" as it started out as a red car but, has been painted over. :lol: The last car to finish the "miles of cars" was driven by one of the salesmen to the lot & he finds out it was a RED car...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah he can't drive red cars. hahahahhahaha

I have the same kinda thing going on. My first new Truck was a red 95 Nissan pickup and had only 1 more payment left on it before getting this call from Ginger telling me she is at the Hospital and is alright....BUT, my car is totaled :mad:

Then I had a Sweet Red 95 Monte Carlo Z34 that ran like a raped ape. Low millage car that my friend sold me. I was coming home from work on a Saturday and BAM got hit in the rear. TOTALED:mad:....aaaaah red is bad for me. :(

Swore I would never own another red car again. First of all red is the best color in the world :roll: You can't help but get attatched to them (the red ones). Don't want that 3rd time is a charm thing going on.

My friend who sold me the Monte Carlo Z34 has a Red 68 Camaro that is just perfect as he knows how to fix them up. This one came in pretty good shape but, it did need a few things like new front wheel bearings, etc,etc. I can ride shotgun in a red car...so far anyways.

Sorry about the Hijack.:freak: What color is it gonna be anyways?

Bob... #1 Red ( yellow is second Randy lol ) is just so shinney and perfect...zilla

It's gonna have to be red now!!!!!!!!!!!

"Mock up" of the Green Coupe! Nearly got all the bits to finish it off.

Bob...simply amazing...zilla

Cheers Zilla. This one is evolving nicely!

There is one and only one thing missing from that Ford. It needs a driver. You got horrorclix down under??

OHH MAMA!!! I love it!! awesome job on that ford willy!!! :eek:

Wes

That's one good looking 40!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup: I sure like that wheel package!!! ... RM

i want one of each wow

great looking WILLYS

Are they done yet, Dave? C'mon, Post up!

I really LOVE that Chev but the Ford Bidness Coupe, all dumped in the weeds like that, is ALL* Bidness! :thumbsup:

I wish I could find that color green in Duplicolor paint.

I hear ya Joe!!! Another visit to all the local auto parts stores has brought around a new level of despair. :cry: The auto spray bombs selection has been cut in half, and a rack of brush bottles have taken their place. It's very hard to tell what colors reside in each bottle, and the price for a brush bottle is as high as the cans. :mad: I've read you can use the brush paint in an airbrush, but the cost for such a small amount of paint puts a damper on it. Even the metalcast colors have been trimmed and all I've been able to find is blue, red and purple. NAPA had one can of orange left. Next time I'll have to ask if the unstocked ones are still available as a special order.. There are a larger assortment available in enamels, but I really prefer lacquer..

Thank you all for your comments! The green is a Plasti-kote color(April Green) if that's any help?

Are they done yet, Dave? C'mon, Post up!

Hahahaha. No pressure then joez870!!!!! Wish I could post some pics but the unfinished cars are waiting on parts.

Cheers.

It's gonna have to be red now!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a picture of my friends 68 when he got it about 2 1/2 years ago. Will show some pics of what he has it looking like now tommarro night sometime.

Am getting up in the moring to meet my long time good friend (we graduated in 1983 together) and drive to the "Last Fling of the Spring" car show in Westpoint Nebraska in the early morning for registration of his Camaro. I get to ride shotgun.

It is a little different than it was back when we smoked, drank, did cookies in the parking lot before school on snowy days, ate & even shot bottle rockets out from inside of his 71 El Camino (he still has it) back in High School. Still it is a blast to be inside of a 60s Muscle Car. He has put alot of work into this car to bring it up to near perfect condition since this picture was taken. Kinda like a time machine of sorts....Vrooooooooooom, vrooooooooooooooooom, sCREEEEEEATCH!


Bob...1/1 cars are fun too...zilla

Your buddies Chevy looks really nice in the pics. A friend of mine has a SS with the white stripes.
Go on get out there and relive your youth. The Camaro looks perfect to hang out the windows and taunt the pretty girls(no fat chicks).
Sounds like you are in for a great weekend. Have fun!

That chrome around the wheels arches and along the sills has me thinking!!!!!
