Simply outstanding build Jim!
-
You're on a roll, Roger! Man, that looks great. Well done sir.
-
I agree with Brad. That weathering looks great, Chris.
-
Outstanding as usual for you, Roger!
-
Very nicely done, Tom!
-
Very nicely done, Chris!
-
Very nicely done, Nick! Paint turned out beautifully.
-
Nice start to this Tim. Having recently completed the Jim Dunn cuda, I'll be keeping a close eye on your progress.
-
Much better pics, Chris. A lot of great detailing on your chassis, and those beautiful Chuck Boerner's decals!
-
Beautiful work, Marcelo! Very clean building technique. The detail, paint and decals look great.
-
Very nice build, George!
-
Job well done, Ray!
-
Nice pictures, Bob! I'd love to see some more of your Vega panel. That just looks totally cool...!

I haven't built the Soapy Sales version yet, but I recently completed the generic Model King version of the same kit. What is the body/interior tin hanging up on? Do you have a Dremel drill with a grinder bit to maybe trim away the area that's catching? Maybe a picture of the problem area might help diagnose the issue.

Great story, LeRoy! During the recent NHRA event here in Arizona, I talked with Big Jim's driver John Hale. He introduced me to Jim's granddaughter Johnna. Unfortunately, the model wasn't done yet, so Johnna gave me her email address so that I could send her pictures of the finished model. She will forward the pics to Big Jim. I'm waiting to hear back from her.

Yes William, he does make quite a few decals in 1/25th scale. They are awesome decals to work with too. Chuck's website address is http://s1248.photobucket.com/user/stang1forever/library/?sort=3&page=1
Chuck takes PayPal payments, and he ships them out quickly. You can't go wrong with his decals.
-
Outstanding as always, Chuck! Pretty sure there will be an order from me in the very near future.
-
Thanks, Bob! Those like yourself who know this subject matter can see why I included that in the finished model. Sometimes, duct tape was a racer's best friend back in those days!

The car at one time was in Canada. I don't know where it is today. The old SLM newsgroup had pictures of it at the time as it awaited restoration. I can post those if desired. I agree about using either the Piranha or a rear engined dragster. The Piranha would need narrowed. The right rear engined car, maybe the MPC Garlits kit, might be a pretty good choice. Both would require a new roll cage.
You're still correct, Mike. Last I heard, Vern Scholz still has this car although I don't know if it's being restored or not. Sure would be cool if it were though....

Beautiful model... but did anyone else notice what it says above the rear wheels??

I just thought it was amusing
Yeah, I know Jesse. That was a slip-up by Slixx. I tried to correct that by attempting to create my own decals for this build, but time, effort and quality became an issue so I went with the stock decals.
-
Bill, the better choice would be to cut up a 70's rear engine digger frame. The Piranha frame is too wide, and bashing it with the El Camino chassis sounds like a lot of work to get it close to the real thing.
-
Thanks for the comments, guys.
Mike - Good question...Yeah, the roofline is definitely taller and maybe a little longer on this one. Funny you ask that because I have a few standard Cuda F/C bodies, but I never took one out to compare. ?
-
BTW...Here are a few of the reference photos I used. There weren't a lot of them, and the body-off detail shots of the chassis were hard to come by.

And a few more...
