I had this kit and the Torino el Toro funny car when I was a kid. I still have the engine in my parts stash and probably the wheels and tires too. Wish I had kept all those kits...

Umm... those are his 1987 paint scheme. 1988 has blue stripes. This photo I've had since I've had a computer, I have know idea who took it, but it's from Michigan. My Action Diecast I've had since it was released in the early 2000's The diecast has no markings on the rear so I found this photo of what I believe is a restored car.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe .... Really my main objective is to finish all kits I've started and the kits my son has given me. Second picture second and third shelf down are the kits I've started over the years. There's about thirty-five started total, plus about another ten from my son. I'm currently working on an MPC 1980 Plymouth Volare "Street Rod" (snicker) with it's high performance V-6 (Siamese exhaust confused someone). If and when it's finished, I have a Jo-Han 197? AMC Javelin AMX that I started thirtysomething years ago. I'm waiting on decals from Rays Kits. Then its on to AMT's 1970 1/2 Camaro Z/28 molded in a lovely shade of orange. I figure at the rate I'm building, I should finish all of these before I turn 150.

Nice!

The ZIS-110 was a Soviet limousine from ZIL introduced in 1946. The 110 was developed from the reverse engineering of a 1942 Packard Super Eight.

Looks good, but I'm noticing a theme.

Hey, Looks great! That's my current project! You built two!

Not so much today, just the last couple of weeks. Danbury Mint 1968 el Camino. Bargain off of eBay that had epoxy glue all over. Only missing the trim on the tailgate and the little red tool box. Also, now have Hailie Deegan's first truck from 2020. Now I'm just waiting for her Craftsman truck.

I think it was a Ray Nichels thing. 430 was the max limit on cubes. Here's some Hemis he owned that Freddy Lorenzen drove, #3 Superbird driven by Don White. and the #99 driven by Charlie Glotzbach shows 429 too. It's just a bore and stroke. The Hemi 426 with .020 overbore. Pontiac built a "428", actual mathematical displacement of the "428" is 426.6, a fractional bore difference can make it a 429.

Are you doing the 33 as pictured? The red 17? My favorite Or the droop nose purple 17? Love them all. Look forward to your results!

So that's what it should have looked like! The one I built as a kid looked more like a light blue potato

Hah! I have two unfinished 66 Mercury kits. One ruined by too hot paint and the other to replace it. The one kit I've looked at and put back through multiple reissues is the 70 Galaxie.

Never mind, I unsubscribed from this guy because he displayed his politics once too often

Umm... Stellantis announced they are cancelling the Charger and Challenger. What will they have for a racer, Maserati? https://www.dbusiness.com/daily-news/report-dodge-to-discontinue-charger-and-challenger-by-2024-add-ev-muscle-car/

I feel your pain. That's a nice car and I hope the seller comes through with some compensation. Early on in my diecast collecting I won a Danbury Mint Stutz Blackhawk. It was in perfect condition and came with a display case. The seller placed it in the case with some shipping peanuts then wrapped the cased with newspaper and placed it loosely in a box. All the plastic chrome parts were destroyed and so was the case. The seller refunded the pay and I kept the car. I found all the broken pieces and glued them back together. Nice fifty footer now.

1966 Beetle, 1968 Karmann Ghia convertible, and a 1970 Torino station wagon

It's very nice, but the front and rear splash pans are on upside down

I built this when it was new and short of anything by Palmer, I have to agree. I also have the SC/Rambler and it sits in a box started from almost 35 years ago, maybe someday

I still have one of these Buyers choice kits on the shelf. It's supposed to be used for a #8 Joe Weatherly stock car. I also have another one started like the kit at the top. I can confirm they all the same parts.

Hmm, lucky me. I have the first issue box,

Thanks, went to their stadium for my state high school's football championship in 1982. B'burg was a tiny place back then.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the best NASCAR kit I've ever built. It probably sits way too high box stock, but that's easily remedied. It's too bad it fell out of production. Maybe the kits will come back with Salvinos JR, if they have them.

Christmas gave me some nice gifts. I now have a dehydrator! I can't wait to try it out My son gave me a couple of Easy Model aircraft, 32 Chrysler, and a signed Gary Balough autobiography. My wife gave me the Milwaukee impact and batteries

I started this kit in September 2018. There was a closeout on Revell Danica Patrick Aspen Dental Ford Fusion kits, so I purchased multiple kits, and some decal sets from Mikes. I was trying to get back into building glue kits and this was one of them. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way. I was sent to Canada for a year and when I returned, Covid was the thing. The good thing for me about Covid was it gave me time to organize and complete my hobby room. This led to finally completing this kit. It's mainly box stock, the only mods I made were some suspension lowering and narrowing of the wheel track. I also added a chin splitter from .040 sheet stock. Decals are Ace, paint is the suggested Tamiya TS-11 Maroon and Krylon pewter gray. I also added decals from Powerslide for the tires, underhood, air cleaner, seat, and dash. Mistakes were made, but I hope to do better on the next one. September 2018 when I working in a temporary space in the house In January 2019 I made space in my storage/hobby room to continue work on this model Then I got sent to Canada Three years later, finally ready for paint Paint!
