Wow...! was the first thing that came to mind. Awesome work...!

Hello everyone... Hotwheels started it in '68 ,,,,My interest in cars........I was 8 years old .... then I got into model cars at about 10 years old. I earned money mowing grass and shoveling snow that I would spend on model cars and paint & glue..( plus Christmas and birthday presents). mostly on my own no one I knew built models.... My uncle owned a stock car and drove a Semi...so I would say that also sparked my interest in cars...and racing ...Hotwheels Snake and Mongoose cars turned me on to drag racing. Been building model cars off and on since

DITTO.....!

I always enjoy seeing your work...! Awesome...!!!

Nice thread...! Pretty cool stuff and some excellent saves.... often wondered how these models get in this condition....??? wow !!!!!

If I ever build , I like to concentrate on one project at a time , sourcing parts , reference info , paint scheme , rounding up paint etc.... then the build. I might stop on a project and shelve it for a while , get out another new one or another stalled project. But only one on the bench at a time.

Hi Jim, Don't know every thing about this kit , but in 2000 Ertl issued '60 Ford Starliner, photo of actual car on the top of the box, black with dog dish hubcaps. In 2001 they issued '60 Ford Starliner Custom, photo of built model... Purple with custom rims and lake pipes.... they deleted dog dish hubcaps , and added to the chrome tree with the rims , lake pipes , shifter and a try carb option with custom air cleaner... not sure but I think round 2 issued it with all parts for both versions.... hope this helps BTW really nice job on the Custom Starliner.... I gotta say it too...Man is that Yellow...!

Not a big fan of rat rods..... one reason it is such a vague label... I think you really nailed this one... This is what I think of when you say rat rod. excellent work and craftsmanship. Very cool...!

Thank you ... a very interesting subject

Nice job may I ask who made that kit...?
