As far as the kits go, The Cougar, Corvair, Nova and Duster are AMT. The Challengers are old MPC, and the Vette, Firebird GNX and Mustang are Revelogram (Revell/Monogram). Most of the wheels shown are from Pegasus Hobbies (found at a local Hobby Shop) or from other kits (Duster- Testors Smoothster. Vette- 57 Snap Tite). Each kit can be a little different to lower, so I would follow Black's advice. I often have to make new mounting points for front wheels to get them low enough. The green Challenger is an old promo, so I just had to drill new holes for the metal axels. Those are easy ones. You can alo PM me, and if I have the same kit you are working on, I can give you some tips.
For the paint, I do love Tamyia paints, but I use a lot of Duplicolor (they are cheap.). Also, it took me a long time to start using primer, but once I did, the quality improved greatly. And remember, several lighter coats work better then one heavy coat.
Thanks for all the comments.

Heres a few better shots many mods love high end custom models and cars in general love the detail and the unique aspects of building something that look slike no one elses, and still have an ultra clean look hope you like Later George

Black- I appologize, I just saw the question on your first post. That Mustang is 06 by Revell. Everyone in the club I am in gets to do this kit this year. Here are my ideas behind it. I used cyan for the original so I could copy it and not have it show up if I wanted.

that thing is killer. GREAT work on that one. It sort of looked like the mustang. but once you got to looking behind the window, it no longer looked like the kit. Can't wait to see that one finished
