  1. Nice build, exceptional paint, not only a sentimental build but a tribute build because of George Montgomery's passing.
  2. Great looking cover, can't wait to get it.
  3. Thanks Rex for updating the information.
  4. It looks nice, I'm always interested in scale boats, hot rods on the water, lots of possibilities for your proposed project, good luck with it.
  5. Very nice, like the weathering. Nice to see the excellent Texas 3D conversion parts on an actual build, it's an inspiration to get mine started. I like the model a lot.
  6. Came back a couple of times to look at this exceptional build, you did a fine job on this model.
  7. Nice build, the Fireball carbs make the engine bay ! The overall model has a nice feel to it.
  8. Nice to see Bill Flynn's Yankee Peddler in scale, one of my favorite N.E. drag racers, nice build of the car.
  9. It came out well. Nice looking replica.
  10. I didn't know Mike Scott but his model cars are inspiring, a bit more about him was mentioned in the Jalopy Journal here in the attachment, the comments on the HAMb are there too. The hobby has lost so many talented people. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=56201
  11. Glad to see this thread back.
  12. If it's true that the upcoming Dodge AWB kit will be the Dave Strickler livery here's what the real car looked like.
  13. Nice to see survivors. Is there a dedicated page for survivor models ?
  14. Very nice subjects & photography.
  15. Very nice ! Paint is excellent and the subtle weathering on the chassis is perfect. Nice all around.
  16. Beautifully done model from a great racing era. Exceptional !
  17. Nicely done, the '37 Chevys make nice gassers and yours is no exception, clean building style and paintwork. You as the builder see the flaws but to me it's a very nice model.
  18. How about an Action marine, unique fast boats.............
  19. A wonderful build of a iconic drag car. Nice that you took the time to finish what to me looks like a challenging build. Be proud of it.
  20. Looks like it's out of the '70's on a Saturday night looking for trouble. Nice build.
  21. Saw many mild customs cruising in the small town I grew up in. You did a nice job on the model, excellent paint and stance. Nice details.
  22. Nice Effort, your changes are an improvement on the kits shortcomings. It's a clean build.
  23. Excellent build on an iconic car. I have been building models since the middle of the last century and remember as a teenager when these cars were cutting edge. A friend and I were making altered wheelbase model cars as you have done mainly because there weren't any available by the model manufacturers, just moving the wheelbase on the body was only the beginning, then as you have experienced the interior tub and chassis has to be dealt with. Fun stuff. I was so pleased when Moeibus had a production kit of the Plymouth AWB car and am looking forward to the release of the AWB Coronet, sadly my friend who built AWB model cars won't see it as he passed. There is a great story of a match race between this car and the Ramchargers '65 AWB Coronet on the web, possibly from the book "We Were the Ramchargers". I may attempt a build of this car but will start with the recently re-released AMT/Round 2 '65 Chevelle AWB kit. Beautiful build, so many nice details on the car, you should be proud of it.
  24. Just saw this old post and being a Ramchargers AWB fan I thought I'd comment to your question about the 2700 number. It may have indicated the weight class of a particular race. At the legendary Super Stock & Drag Illustrated race at York, Pa in '65, that is how the classes were separated, by weight. You might try looking on the HAMB site they have an AWB section. Good luck.
