  1. Always enjoy your builds Dennis and this is no exception.
  2. R&M has released a very nice detail set for us vintage race car builders.
  3. Glad to see rally subjects getting the attention they deserve.
  4. Very ambitious project Dann and it looks to be off to a great start.
  5. I have the Friedman book as well - great reference for these cars.
  6. I agree nail the basics before launching into scratch building and major modification. Welcome back to the hobby.
  7. The DB4-GT is one of my all time favorites. I like the GT even more than the Zagato.
  8. Engines are impressive.

    I built the Entex/Nitto release (same kit) a few years back and yes getting the decals to snuggle down at the rear wheels is tuff. Nice job.
  10. Started as a glue bomb I bought on ebay. Here's the build thread:
  11. Something I really enjoy is doing the research for a build. The more I know about the particular car or era I want to build the more accurate I can be with period correct details. Not the answer your were looking for I'm sure but here is a head start on your research: http://georgeklass.net/gassers.html
  12. Very nice Bill.
  13. If the box art is faithful to what's in the box looks like the torsional leaf. But as Steve said multiple setups where used as the cars developed.
  14. AFX Mustangs ran torsion leaf front suspension to make room for the SOHC 427, assume the Comets did as well.
  15. Would it better if the parts were accurate - absolutely. However I look at things like improving the valve covers as an opportunity to differentiate my build from a box stock build.
  16. Nice work Bruce.
  17. Great conversion Gary.
  18. Used a similar process to build these shock strut mounts.
  19. Here is my build of the kit that may help.
  20. Chassis and interior look great Dann.
