  1. Whenever I see " bronzekeg" in the header, I just have to look. Never disappointed, your work is top notch. Your photos have a unique quality as well! WF
  2. Thank you all! I really appreciate the comments.
  3. I thought that I had previously commented on this build. I didn't, but I HAVE to! Super nice build. Extremely clean and well executed! Hope to see more. WF
  4. I love the primer paint and the steel wheels! Looks quite realistic. Here's a hint for applying decals to a primer or dull finish. Spray a coat of clear over the painted area where you want the decals. After the decals have set, shoot some matt clear over that area. That should hide the excess carrier film that you don't want to see.
  5. Love the Stockers! Good job on this one! I can remember going to a huge shopping mall as a kid ( Roosevelt Field for those that know of it) where there was a display of drag cars participating in the AHRA Nationals at NYNS. The VERY FIRST drag car that I had ever seen in person was a maroon Olds 442 from Mack Markowitz Oldsmobile. It literally was the day that I truly got interested in the sport. You brought back a very emotional moment for me! Thank you! WF
  6. The stain on the cylinder head was the result of too much Tamiya panel liner. I was gonna wipe it off, but it looked like a perfect oil leak from the valve cover, so I left it! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
  7. Another orphan that I found in the bowels of my storage trailer. It was mostly complete but needed some TLC and repair to finish it. I may install a parachute cable and it could use a sponsor decal. Mostly left over parts from a AMT Double Dragster kit ( one of my favorites!) I had some fun making the floor pan from sheet aluminum and using a pounce wheel to add rivet detail. I bought some HO scale stanchions a while back. They make perfect rod ends for the steering linkage. This was one of the most relaxing and fun builds in a long time!
  8. This another one of those projects that I started a loooong time ago that I was determined to finish. Not a big name car but a reminder of the good old days when you could get a few guys together and actually build a competitive race car. One guy with money, another with a gas station to work on the car, and a little guy brave enough to drive the thing! It was built with left over parts from MPC Don Garlits and Young American kits.
  9. Thank you. I try my best ๐Ÿ˜€
  10. I love clean builds. I guess I love it!๐Ÿฅฐ
  11. Nice presentation! You went the extra mile!
  12. Well done! The colors are perfect. Theyโ€™re so 1966!
  13. Good looking car! Verdoro Green was such a popular color for โ€˜68 Pontiacs. You saw them everywhere! Now , itโ€™s like seeing an old friend!๐Ÿ˜€
