Another great job with a Polar Lights kit. Looks really good Tim! Shortening the chassis was a great idea.

Really sharp build Christoper! And you're right, those kits can be a bit of work to get looking nice like this. Great job.

Wow Claude this is super cool! It's not just different, it's different done extemely well. Not easy to make a Hornet look badass! And it combines two of my favorite things, music and drag racing. In the early 2000's Kurt Johnson, Tony Pedregon and Doug Kalitta all ran a KISS 30th Anniversary themed paint scheme. I think Metallica is a perfect choice for a drag car. Also, I have heard that Revell Spray Chrome is nice, but this is the first time I am seeing it and it looks awesome.

Super cool build Tony! I have this kit and was just going to do it as a quick bone stock build, but now you have me thinking. . . . mid-60's gasser maybe. Great clean build all around.

Super cool project Ian! Looking forward to watching this, especially that chassis. Sounds like you have a wealth of knowledge and experience so I know it's going to be awesome.

Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed doing this box stock build. I went back and forth on colors (body, interior, engine/wheels) and am happy with the ones I chose.

Finished last night, completely box stock. Just wanted a clean, understated custom look. Paint is MCW Burgendy Metallic with Automotive 2K clear. I don't do "Box Stock" very often but challenged myself to leave things alone. It was a lot of fun and a pretty quick build. I think I am going to do more (of course, there are always more detailed builds in progress too.) Overall a pretty nice kit although the chassis can be challenging as well as the wing windows.

Super cool Marcus! Gassers are a blast to build. I have a 57 I am getting ready to start myself.

Coming along nicely Roger! I just got a couple pair of those shocks from Mr. Model. They are nice looking.

I love the old FED's and your craftsmanship is outstanding. Thanks for sharing this awesome build!

Super clean build on one of Boyd's most iconic cars. Looks awesome!

Very cool build Jeff! Love the color with the black wheels and great job on the scratchbuilt items.

Thanks everyone!

Roll cage looks great Roger!

A very cool 55. I've always thought about doing one. Will enjoy following this.

Thanks Guy's, appreciate it very much. It really was a fun build.

Thanks, that's really cool that you recognize the car. Being from the midwest, I had never seen it before.

Thanks Rich!

Finished it this evening. There is also a WIP topic for this if you have not seen it. Pretty pleased with it for the most part. I think it makes a pretty good representation of the actual car (see last picture). As usual, sorry for the crappy lighting in the photo's. LOL!

Well, I think I am calling this one complete. Spent my evenings this week getting it finished. Here is a little sneak peak. Finished photo's are in the Under Glass Drag Racing page. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Hey, thanks Kevin. The decals came from The Glory Years Decals and Graphics (eBay). Yeah, those aftermarket super tricks are much nicer. I'll have to get some of those for future projects. I just pulled some out of the parts box.

Very cool Bob. Those fastback Mustangs make killer looking pro streeter's. Like the way you went with the black components on the engine.

Thanks guys! I hadn't seen anything about this being reissued and was surprised by the ad.

I have been looking for this kit and can't find it anywhere. Last time I did see it, the price was crazy on eBay. Does anyone know if this is being re-released? I saw the ad below on HobbyLink Japan. It says expected release of March 2024?

Got the decals and clearcoat on and then 8 hours in the dehydrator. Looks pretty good. Those decals were one piece for the sides. It was not fun!!! These aren't super quality like Slixx, so I had several places where the ink cracked on the red. I was able to mix up a red that closely matched and made some touch ups. Took a lot of setting solution around the rear fenders. Added a few photoetch pieces before the clearcoat (gas cap, door/trunck locks and hood pins). I now use Acme Finish 1 automotive clearcoat and love it. Very easy to use and provides a high gloss and super durable finish. Hoping to get the windows in and started on final assembly tomorrow. Maybe, if the stars align, I could have it finished next weekend.
