Old Buckaroo

The beginning of the dark side for me , 67 RS SS 350 Camaro getting a big block installed without even a shade tree. Man I thought I was somebody with that big box of "Proto" tools back then. this was back in 1983 one year after I graduated.

Thirty five years ago today started it all. Made it official with the little blonde gal I met working at a 7-11 store on my way to the airport. We've had many adventures and not once has she ever complained about the 1/1 cars or the spare room of model kits.

A surprise package from a Nascar modeling friend

Well this is a really cool surprise to see. I cant wait to see this one progress. My wife has one of those coaches hid away somewhere !

Awesome work, the art inspired models have always been a favorite of mine !

I really like this type of modeling , nice work!

That is an awesome set up! Is there a club track that you go to race at ? A forum friend here is talking about putting in a pool table at his place - I'm trying to convince him a racetrack would be much more fun.

Ive gone through this several times - as you stated its normally the typist who made the mistake. Its a bit aggravating but easily fixed by a inspection. I had a title once come back from the state as a "1974 Chrysler Challenger" who employees these people. All they had to do was copy the out of state title which said "Dodge Challenger"

That display case is pretty cool!

Carl - that is what I use to clean resin parts. I use whats in the tub for stripping car bodies and just scrub everything with a soft tooth brush. No soaking or worries about forgetting its in the bath.

Roadrunner gun sight from the looks of the rocks in that area!

I tried Hagarty when I had my '55 Chevy, wasn't impressed with their prices or stipulations. I got better coverage through our regular carrier and no restrictions for my high school age son to drive it. Believe it or not my Dodge Ram had a higher premium than the '55 as it had a Hemi in it and that rang all the bells to charge more.

Wow what a beauty, did your wife airbrush the tank or use the brush that comes with the polish? Got a soft spot for this kit for two reasons ,(1) I think its one of the first models I ever laid eyes upon being built by an older brother. The thing I remember the most was his stern"Don't Touch" (2) In my mid 20's I bought a '53 Pan basket and rebuilt it. The old wishbone frame still had the side hack brackets when I got it.

I'm guessing they must not have been very affordable when I was buying kits !

Not sure if this is a "Irk" or "Pleased" - I sorted through over a 100 muscle car kits today and only have 4 Ford models total ! 😆
