Yes....The build was on the table in person....with the sign... and It did look good. The color scheme is one of my favorites..black and Orange. Greg...you made me take a serious look at this kit for a second time. I like the Falcon anyway but you just made it better...

Man J.T. That chassis really looks good my friend. The color you put on really makes it look real! Using 2 1/20th Jag bodies and modifying them to 1/16th to run in ProMod class, is very unique and Artistic. I'm looking forward to the REST of the build.

Hey Gary....Great pics. It was a pleasure meeting you at the show. I sure enjoyed your builds in person. I really thought the way you opened the glove box on the Preditor was very unique..

Man...This show was an AWESOME Show. Being that it was OUR( My Wife Susan and I) First one( Freshman...I know )...We weren't disappointed at ALL. Of course it's always good to see Gregg and Kelly. We meet some OUTSTANDING people there and it just so happens they can build the same way...OUTSTANDING. In all the yrs that I've been building and hearing about these great builders from different parts of the world and getting the chance to meet some of them at the same show, was a very good experience. Now....We have to save the pennies for the next one...GSL XXIV.

Man Lizzard....what a cool color for that build. Your touch also adds to it. Good to see your stuff again bud....

I think that's the Last shop in the City limits, is what Dave is saying. There are still a few good ones in the surrounding cities. Like Renton(SKYWAY HOBBIES), Tacoma(Fantasy World), Parkland (Hobby World)..just to name a few that I know about. It is SAD to see a shop close down. The Sister store(AMERICAN EAGLES..TACOMA) Closed down here..about 3-4 yrs ago. I hated to see that one go as it was 3 minutes from my house.But...as mentioned earlier in this thread...one can go on line and get a kit alot cheaper and pay the shipping and not leave the house. I guess it's all in what a pearson wants to do...

Hey Craig...you asked about wiring for the motor. Detail Master is a very good site for that detail. They have a whole bunch of 1/25-24th stuff for the builder in there. Here's the web addy.. (just click on it) http://www.detailmaster.com/ Scale Dreams use to make a hinge similiar to the one that was shown in an earlier post...but going to their site..I don't see them. Detail Master does make a Photoetch set of hinges. They do look nice. I haven't had a chance to use them yet. I'll give you Scale Dreams site also.You can go in and look around there too. We can't have to many choices..ya know? Hope this helps you a little Craig. http://stores.scaledreams.com/Categories.bok I'm glad you decided to use the v8 in this Stang. It's not REALLY a MUSTANG with anything less than 8 cyl..LOL

That is a good looking Celica Luis. I've got a few of these kits as I want to build two of them as owner cars. The third as a short track Asphalt Racecar. Your craftmanship on this build is Great. It put a smile on my face...

That color is cool Jason. This puppy looks ready to hit the track..good build.

That's cool ART...I hope you build another one. As you know...with a little work these can look like a race car. Thank you Terry. Hey Tim...Thanks for the Kind words my friend.Hows the weather down there bubba!!!! It's raining like crazy here( as if it usually don't..eh?) Hows the boat bizz going...good I hope. Whats on you build table these days...Miss talk'in with you bud.When I was in the middle of this build.....I had this nagging feeling to give you a call...but...Got all tied up and then it was to late..LOL

That KR looks awesome Jeff. The color(blue) is one of my favorite colors. Of course ya gotta have the white stripe. LOL...I'm also a Mustang guy. I have a 97GT and am thinking of picking up an 07 and tricking it out with a duck tail spoiler and the side and window scoops. Can't forget the Calif hood with the low wide scoop either...LOL. I saw one setup like that awhile back and it looked really good.

Thank you for the comps folks. I forgot to add.... All the Decals where made in house too. Hey Dave...take care of that Knee....

This started out as a simple build and like alot of my builds...I changed things as I got into the build. This is the 1952 Monogram kit. The motor was made correct by cutting the twin cam and adding a head in the middle. An in/out box was fabbed along with a drive line. A Radiator from parts box was added along with asphalt wheels and tires that I made from molds. This car was built with updates in mind so it would be able to run in the Vintage classes through out the states. Hence the Disc Brakes and the 5pt Harness. The nerf bars where also fabbed and all the chrome is AlcladII polished Aluminum. This was a kick to build...I'm also working on a trailer specific to this car. Thanks for looking in.... (everything in white is fabbed...Click to ENLARGE PIC) FINISHED CAR...

That's a good looking build Drew! Cutting the back tires is a huge accomplishment in itself. lol They look spot on. I like the way you painted this build too. Is the offy motor taken from the Kurtis Kraft car?

That is a very good looking build Dillon. The color is very cool. Love the two tone. Can't see much detail on the engine though...

That really is a very clean build Jeff..(as usual) I also like that color of blue. Sure goes good with that body style..

Man Daniel...your street car builds look as GREAT as your short Track cars do...Great job on this chevy.

Thank you for your reply Niko. I was just curious. I'll try to get one finished in time. Right now I've got to many other projects going. Thanks again for the reply.

Niko....This CBP sounds good to me.I'm seeing some cool short track projects being laid out...that's awesome. I just finished the Monogram(1952)midget kit. I was wondering if it would be eligible for this CBP?

Man Dave...that looks good. The colors fit the car. Good job bubba!!

Man Darin...I just caught up with this WIP that you're doing here. Awesome craftmanship. This is a GREAT subject to build as it's an ALL time cool car. I'm really enjoying your build.

A Very good job on BOTH builds bitner. That color scheme is really cool and Clean.....

All right Dave, good shots my friend. I also shot a few and I'll add some to yours...If you don't mind....

I agree with you Scoup...knowing the driver(especially when it's family) really makes the build a little more special. This is looking great...keep us posted on you progress.

That's looking very interesting. I really think the chassis color is cool. Can't wait to see the body finished and mounted.
