Ken you have me totally blown away by this build. you have some amazing scrarch building skills. the detail and everything looks great. will you be up in april for the Desert Scale Classic? would love to see your builds in person.

Thank you Chris. I've got a little less than $100 invested in the whole car. That's one of the perks of scratch building. We don't live very far from each other. I'm new to modeling; I've been at it a little over a year now so I didn't know there was a show for model cars here in Arizona. I go up your way for the NASCAR races and to visit my granddaughter, in Mesa, who goes to ASU. I wouldn't mind trying a show. When and where is it and I'll enter. That could be fun and I would love to see, in person, what other guys do. I'm not sure if I'm "ready for prime time" or not but I will give it a shot..

man Ken, that is beautiful work, love it! I allways have to go get my dirt fix every year, can't wait to see the next project! congrats on this one!

[Old Sprinter]

Thanks Bill. Because I've had fun building a car from the 21rst century, instead of vintage stuff, I'm going to build a 2011 USAC non wing sprinter next. I will post pictures of this car when it's 100% done.

Ken, when you attend the show make sure you take your " build book" with the photos of the scratch building process. The book shows just how much work and effort goes into building something like this from scratch.
Great job. Looking forward to seeing your next build.
CHEERZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One hell of a job Ken!!!!!!!

Hey Ken,

The Desert Scale Classic is on April 21 and the location is the Postal Workers Social Hall, 3720 W. Green Way Road, Phoenix. Would be awesome if you could make it. Its about 6 weeks or more away. Your build is sure coming along and looking great with the paint on it. Nice work!

like something you would see at any hometown track on saturday night freakin awesome build

[Old Sprinter]

Finally finished the decals so it's off to my wife's work place.

[MadKaw6]

Well done. I spent many years working on 1:1 late models. If I had seen a picture of this one somewhere without knowing it was a model I would have figured it was a real one. That's what its all about.
