  1. You did a great job! It's a nice change of pace to see a Ferrari in a color other than red or yellow.
  2. Very nice save. I think the contrasting colors look good.
  3. Great job! Masterful craftsmanship.
  4. Looks great! Very clean build.

    New Body

    If you can find a diecast on the cheap, guys strip these and repaint and decal them. A lot of them look really good.
  6. Outstanding work. Painting each color individually would have been quite the challenge.
  7. Great looking collection of models.
  8. Looks real good. Great job!
  9. Very nicely done. The paint and details are outstanding!
  10. You are acquiring quite a knack for these restorations. Great work!
  11. Congrats with your team's series win. I love the Stanley Cup layoffs because upsets like this happen every year. As far as Tortorella, enjoy the success. It seems his schtick begins to wear thin the longer he is with a team.
  12. Great job Steve with the build, and very well said.
  13. All of them look really nice.
  14. Great job! My first car was a Matador.
  15. Great job on both!
  16. Another great save Michelle. Great work!
  17. Great job on all three. They look outstanding!
  18. Great job. Really spectacular work!
  19. And yet, a lot of young people buy furniture from IKEA and they can put that together. And heaven forbid, they have to follow directions and use hand tools as well. How is this even possible with their video game dulled minds???? As far as the link between the cassette tape and the pencil, why would they have to know the link between the two? Cassette tapes have largely been obsolete for the past 30 years.
  20. Looks great! The interior detail is outstanding.
  21. Great work on both of them. They are outstanding.
  22. Both look great! I think this generation of the Cutlass is among the sexiest cars GM has ever produced.
  23. I see a number of problems with this idea. The first is that NASCAR would be creating another racing series. Almost every MENCS race already has a Truck, Xfinity or an ARCA support race. How would this series fit in with an already full race weekend? These cars will attract an already shrinking fan base. The people who drove these cars new are in their 60's, 70's and older. People like me who admired them are in their 40's through 60's. NASCAR already has one of the oldest demographics in sports. This does not help them attract a younger audience. Lastly, these cars will have to run a spec engine and chassis to keep the racing affordable. The bodies will have to be fiberglass. However, the puritans of the sport will have a field day. NASCAR has run a 100 inch wheelbase since the early 1980's. The 69 through 74 cars ran on a 115 inch wheelbase. On top of the fact that the puritans will complain that Chrysler will not have Hemi's, Ford will not have the 427, etc. A nice topic to talk about on an internet forum, but very little practicality.
  24. I like all of them, but the Chaparrals are drop dead gorgeous!
