  1. You did an outstanding job on a very "fiddley" model. I restored an IMC Gulf GT-40 model years ago and it almost went in the trash many times.
  2. Not trying to hijack your thread but haven't seen an update in a while. Your work inspired me to do a body swap on my OOB Jawbreaker. Used the Fiat body from an MPC Slingshot dragster in my stash. Still not sure on decal choice. Any progress on yours to report?
  3. You know, you never get a second chance to make a "good first impression"!
  4. It depends on what scale you prefer. AMT Nascar kits are 1/25th scale and Monogram (Revell) are 1/24th scale. Their parts do not interchange well.
  5. After seeing the pics of the box contents I am glad I have a Franklin Mint Petty Nascar Olds. It's a shame they didn't use one of these for their master. I'll pass on this new kit.
  6. Whoa, thanks guys. I guess I need to do some research.
  7. Yep, I got a VL this morning for $35 at my local HL. Now I need to get a compressor.
  8. You are correct. 16 % of 1 scale inch is 1/6 of and inch. 1/4 scale inch equals 6 1/4 real inches in 1/25th scale. 1/2 inch in 1/25th scale equals 12 1/2 real inches, 3/4 of an inch in 1/25 scale equals 18 3/4 real inches and 1 inch in 1/25th scale equals 25 real inches,
  9. Actually, it is closer to 1/6". 1/25th scale is 1scale inch equals 25 real inches , so 25" divided by 4" equals a little over 6. That's 1/6 inch.
  10. Thanks for the memories. I made a mess of the F-100 back in '63. Had the Bonneville kart on display in my room until we moved.
  11. My records show I bought the Airfix 007 Aston Martin DB-5 for $79 off Ebay in Jan, 2000. Nice kit, love all the spy equipment. Sold the Aurora kit for $90 in 2010.
  12. Also have an unbuilt Airfix one. Never started due to badly tire damaged windows. Traded off my Aurora kit of one, as it was curbside. Will be watching.
  13. You need to go to Chris's tread on this forum. He did a great job. Oh, and Mopar Mark did a good job. too.
  14. Wow Brett, that's is some really great Drag collection. Love the Ramchargers and Jungle Jim cars most. Outstanding.
  15. Check out the Sponsor's product. We call it the "Purple pond" for a reason.
  16. You can take the Redneck out of the Trailer Park but you can't take the Trailer Park out of the Redneck!
  17. In Texas, who has the right of way at a 4 way stop sign? "The truck with the biggest tires!"
