ROFL, it does kinda look like that. I think it's real too, and agree with the rest of you; real ugly.

Hope ya find your collection Ben. I'll keep reminding Nick and asking him about what your looking for, when I remember. The store is a 5 min walk from my house and ya it is one crazy store, I've never seen a store jammed full as much as this store is. He has some real odd ball stuff, one thing being an original decomed 50 cal machine gun and mount for the back of a Jeep.

Your too funny CB. Good ol' paper machie (sp).

So then this is the same kit as the Diamond Duster? The Duster looks like the roof/windsheild is different. or is it just the box art that is making it look different?

I sooooo excited that you posted this. I have been trying to remember a build I did when I was about 8-9 i even posted something a month or so ago about what it might have been asking for help figuring it out. I know for certian that this is the kit I have been looking for. The only thing I could remember was that the box art was purple and that it had knock offs (I thought it had wire wheels) and that I thought is was a 1/12 scale kit. This is soo cool. Thanks for sharing your build. I like your version much better then the SC100. Now if I can only find one for myself.

Hi Nick Do a search on MrObsessives' posts over the past couple of months. He has shown how to make hindges on one of his recent posts. I have a '41 Willys' on the bench and there seems to be plenty of room for hidges under the dash. When I was 13 I was still messing around with engine and tire swaps. Like I've said before at the rate your going you'll be a master by the time you hit mid 20's. If I can offer any advice, get real good at a few things instead of trying everything at once. Youy've got more courage then most of us did at your age. Godd luck

Alright CB this just keeps getting better and better. Now I can put a face to this wacky build.

Ben, I stopped by the store today, Nic (the owner) said he got your e-mail and will get back to you. He also mentioned those are really hard to get up here in Canada, almost impossible, that being said I dought he'll have what your looking for. Hope ya find what your looking for. Curt

This has been very entertaining to read. I too don't believe any of this BS about 2012. I'm a realist and rely on numbers and facts that can be explained scientifically. Not a bunch of hear sayers who projected and impose there beliefs on the rest of us for personal gain. If you want some real interesting views on life, religion and general beliefs google Bill Maher. Either way I'll still be starting more builds then I finish, no matter what year it is..

Nice sharp looking build you have there. I'm not much of a fan of stock builds but this caught my eye. Great job on the trim work and scripting.

Call this guy he'll more then likely have what your looking for; www.carefreehobbies.com tell him Curt sent ya.

Man you did you a great job on this. Is that set made from sheet metal it looks awesome. I've never seen a kit of a Dart of this era done as a funny car, we need some more close up shots of this great work. Bravo. Curt

This is a tough one. I say it's real, but if I'm wrong it's one Big A$$ model, possibly 1/8 or at least 1/12.

I just googled and found links for the olds.

Wow, very cool, the engine and front end assembly look awesome.

I'm going with real.

Nice!.

This is getting very interesting. Mr. Skwirly is going to need his own blog soon. The driver looks like he could be "Carrot Tops" crazy Dad., lol

Wow even the window trim is bang on, must have been difficult to operate the mini mitre saw, lol. Nice job on all the manuals and mags. I like the Pro Stock Duster in garage.

I checked my stash as well, all I have is the Monogram kit; 1/24, F-350 "Duallie" crew cab 2wd. I like your idea, there is a 1:1 Ford Super Duty done up like that in my area. It looks pretty cool. There is a 4dr duallie resin kit but I forget who makes it, I've seen it in one of the mags. Good luck with the project.

I loved playing those kind of tricks at work.

This looks interesting, good luck. Man at your age and tackling the builds you have been you should be a master builder by the time you hit your late teens early 20's.

Thanks man.

I was bleaching a set of Tamiya decals from the Kremer Porsche kit and some how our new windows leak (whole other issue). Part of the sheet was so wet the I was able move the decals on the sheet. I dried them on a paper towel. My concern is will they perform the same when it comes time to use them. I figure they should be fine, but not I've never had to deal with this situation before I'd like to know if there is anything I should or need to do to them. Thanks in advance for any help. Curt

My memory recalls that location as well. I had 76 RoadRunner (Volaire) with the 360 intercept motor.
