The 2015 /16 Red Hot and Rollin Automotive Group Build--Ended

Man Eric! Thats coming along nicely!! The color of that engine is right on!!

Thanks Joe,

I was able to get some more time in today and sand out the scratch. Mirrors are mounted, but had to fill a hole. That's what I get for trusting the box art lol. THe darn thing looked like a spot light so I looked up an actual car like I should a done to begin with hehehe. Even got the body shot in primer.

Thanks.

Eric

Started on GTO finished with BMF glass is in so is the interior its been awhile still on the road to recovery

Nice color for the goat!

Eric.

Looking good there crown! Really like the colour...

On my side, the engine is done. Last cooling added, etc. Very good experience to have gone through, I will attempt another one of these more detailed 43rds shortly to add to my learnings from this! Red has already been done on some of the next items, just to do the inside CF in SGB, so hopefully some more visual progress shortly!

So - the engine bay (again, quick photo with cell, sorry about quality) as it looks now... 

Now that it's uploaded - amazed at what you can actually see - eg the Schumacher name is not even visible to the naked eye! 

Eric: When I get home I'll take a look at those pics. I can't pull 'em up here at work for some reason.

crown: Wow!! Whadda paint and BMF job!!!! Man that looks good!!!

Seabe: Now that's alot of detail for a 1/43rd scale job!! Looks really good!!!

Hello everyone!  

Dang Tim! First off, that 66 looks great!! I'm very familiar with these cars and the braking mods you've done so far is a vast improvement from stock. I always hated the factory front suspension and braking systems on those cars. Weak to say the least, particularly in the front suspension area. It was like they stapled a bunch of stuff together to get it to stop and steer and that was about it. Beautiful cars though as I owned 3 different 67's. I've got some old pics I may scan in later.

 That's a neat idea you've got going for that Firebird as well. Good to see you around again Tim. 

Thanks, Joe.  I am trying to find more time for builds, but its been very limited lately.  I'll slowly make progress on this one, but its progress none the less.  Thanks!

Tim

Same here - limited time, even more limited through injury and illness. But onwards and upwards, both are healing and so is the building blues! 

I've just started with the F2002. I was warned that it's a dog and already found it's not easy to build. Even just the engine block was has gaps and... yes, it's going to be interesting. But also weird to be building a kit again where the engine block on it's own is almost the size of the other model I'm doing! (Well, bigger in size, smaller in lenth. Will take a pic of that once it's starting to look like something.

The F310B front wing is assembled and decals started. I have a dislike in doing the barge boards, but that will have to be done. Painted and ready... I'm just postponing! 

Hey Guys!  I'm glad were still using this thread. lol  Everyone's stuff is looking good. 

I don't have any WIP pics since I wasn't building for the GB but I finally beat the 76 Gremlin.  It's a bit rough, even for me.  The kit seemed like it was very detailed on one side but not so much on the other.  The interior is horrid.  The engine is kind of wonky too.  It sits real low, so low you don't need the scooped hood for the ram intake.  The other weird thing is how low that low engine forces the headers to sit.  They almost scrape the ground, this wouldn't be a drivable vehicle.

Anyway, pics.  Still trying to get decent at this.

Thanks for looking,

Hey guys still here almost done on 66 gto pics on auto forum been out touch my compressor is FUBR waiting on replacement  those are some nice cars on here and I'm still watching

Glad this is still going fellas. I've been out of it now for a little over a week here. My wife suffered from a stroke last weekend due to a burst brain anuerism and is still in ICU in San Antonio. She underwent an operation Monday that repaired the damage but her recovery will be slow. She'll be in ICU for another 1 to 1-1/2 weeks. Keep posting and I'll keep droppin' in. I may throw my '54 Chevy Panel Wagon build in here as well. Take care and we'll see you at the bench, Joe

Joe, 

We are praying for you, your wife and your family during this time.  Please keep us posted!!!

Tim

Thanks Tim..........alot man.

Let's roll forward guys. I may need a little help along the way at first but lets get round two started. New thread or you guys wanna keep this one?

Let's just start it off like this....

As some of you know I picked this kit up a few months back and was thinking of doing this one in typical "Gasser" fashion with the nose up in the air............




but lately I've had something else in mind..............

Different set of wheels and tires and a more wild stance...............

I think I'm gonna move forward with this one............

Hey Joe, First off I share Tim's sentiment. All the best at home for this tough time.

I am easy either way, whether we separate it or continue on this thread. I'm still busy with the F310B from this thread and hardly started on the F2002...

I will also pray for you and your wife

Thank you Seabe and crown.

Let's rock tha house boyz! Get the kits and lets get going....

Thanks for the concerns and prayers Eric. They are working.

Mustang,
