And now the ones that have been featured in Wheel Hub Magazine, with a couple others that were inside, and a McLaren that was parked out in front of the entrance.

Thought I'd share some pics from this event which took place May 26. Wheel Hub Magazine and the museum collaborated together for this show, which included a cars & coffee outside. Was a terrific inaugural event, with about 1,200 vehicles attending. A lot of sharp rides of all varieties. I had been to the museum last year as well, and it is absolutely mind blowing how much stuff they have in there. I highly recommend visiting it if you're ever in the Lincoln area, you will not be disappointed. Here's a link to their website for those interested... https://www.museumofamericanspeed.com/ I haven't posted any pics from the museum itself, but rather just the cars that were in attendance for this event. I could if there's interest. Lot's of pics to come, was hard to weed it down but probably still too many LOL!

That is one cleanly built model. You don't see these built all that often. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Oh man is that ever nice! Beautiful execution on all the mods & details. You really knocked it outta the park.

Wonderful build of such a cool, historic, drag car.

Thanks a lot guys, she looks good on the shelf at least.

Mighty fine looking, Randy! Excellent trim work and a beautiful color.

Very nice! Always liked the looks of Don's cars, wouldn't mind building a couple of 'em myself.

I finished this one up a few weeks back but never got around to taking some pictures. Not an accurate kit for replicating this car obviously, but did the best I could modifying and adding/deleting stuff to make it at least a bit closer to the real deal. Paint is Tamiya TS-87 Titanium Gold & TS-26 Pure White. Ended up with a couple small boogers in the gold but left them as I didn't feel like stripping it down and starting over. Overall a really fun kit to put together, even with it's shortcomings. Here's a listing of the most notable mods I did to it... Ditched the straight axle and cobbled together the torsion-leaf suspension the car had up front, using some pictures as reference. Rear suspension was lowered some. Wheels & tires from the parts box. The cam covers I got during a trade with Plowboy (RIP Roger), while the carbs, intake & tubes, and oil pan came from my parts box. Header extensions using brass tubing. Comp. Resins hood. Front and rear splash pans have the lights and license plate frames removed. Bumpers had the guards/daggers? removed. Filed down the headlight details so they resembled aluminum plates. Trimmed out the rear quarter window louvers and put in some windows. Removed the windshield wipers. Fireball Modelworks door handles. They are for B-body Mopars, but close enough for me. I'm sure there are a couple others that are not coming to mind right now LOL. Thanks for looking and any comments or questions.

So sorry to hear this Carl, but glad it wasn't worse. Glad you're on the road to recovery!

That's a looker for sure. A lovely, and unique, color choice that suites it well. Nice clean work on all the trim too. Well done!

This behemoth, easily the rarest I've got. Got it in a trade with my Uncle back in the late 80's-early 90's. I've never done anything with it. Best I can tell it's complete, only with some sanding done to the body, and a section on the topside of the chassis with what appears is a test spray of paint.

I've been getting a bit of a bug lately to build plane from my stash. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for reputable (and quality) decals? Mostly would be interested in WWll through Vietnam eras in 1/48 scale. Thanks for any help!

Beautifully done. I agree on the color combo, it sure is sharp.

I agree, man do I ever hope that's not him, but have a bad feeling it is. He's such an accomplished builder and I've learned quite a bit from him over the years. We traded some parts last year that went into his 62 Galaxie.

That Metallic Orange looks great on this, as do the gold wheels. Nice work Scott!

Nice kitbash, that's a beauty! Sharp blackwash on the grille, the vinyl top is a great addition too.

You nailed that mean work in progress look for sure. Love that look myself, too. Very nice work!

Even with the issues with the decals you faced it is still a really sharp looking build. Will be looking forward to seeing your P-51.

The decal work must have been tedious but man you pulled it off with aplomb. Very well done, that is one great looking Corvette.

I concur with everyone's comments, an excellent build of a tough old kit. Definitely one of the best ones I've seen built.

You definitely redeemed yourself with this one as it looks great. Reminds me that I have one buried in the stash I need to get to someday.

Glad you've been able to keep it all these years, that's a great memory of your dad to have. I have a couple of my dad's builds from that era too.

Again, many thanks guys, glad you all like it!

Wow I wish I could make a beauty like that in 24 hours! Those Ramcharger cars are so iconic and you did this one justice. Like others, I too, have been on the fence on picking this one up even though I love the car. You've changed my mind with this great build, I need one!
