i find that for hoses the wires from old headphones works well, and i use different things for spark wires, havnt found any one thing that works perfect for me, although i have found that fishing line, although a bit stiff, makes for a cool effect with the clear line... see my builds for what im talkin about

go to radio shack and get wrapping wire, works perfectly for me

started workin on this. turning a 70 buick gsx into a 69 buick skylark gs, a replica of my cousins car, had to add the swooping body line, the body like on the upper quarters, reshape the trunk and add the raised section, and smooth out the bottom half of the doors/rockers

That looks great! Nice job so far!

The Charger came out great shafer! Cop car is cool too!

how did u do the seats ?

I drilled holes in them, took some duct tape and sliced it up, then used a ripped up paper towel to simulate the stuffing in the seat.

 

[sobiecam]

also, any of you guys pick up the 80's/90's looking F series ford truck with the wagon-wheel rims? I'm trying to hunt down a pair

and some pics of the ram, replica of my 1:1, just gotta get some barbed wire pinstripe and add a few more touches (a/c lines, batt cables, bed bar with hi-lift jack)

I asked for a couple of kits for Christmas. To be precise I wanted a Dart and the Old Monogram "L'il Coffin" kit.

I got,
Two 68 dart Kits (Revells; Mr. Norm's 68 Dart" and the '68 Hemi Dart kit),
The Monogram L'i Coffin kit,
AMT's '96 Corvette kit (?),
Revell's '64 Impala kit (?),
Monogram's "Paddy Wagon" kit,
Monogram's Diehard NASCAR Chevy Race truck (again ?),
AMT's 69 GTX kit (!!!),
and Revell's '49 Merc coupe kit. and Testors 1/6 scale Harley Road King kit!

I'm not nearly as good as some of you at this, but I guess I'll be getting a bit of practice over the next few months! lol
