Paul, Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Dave, Great build. What paint did you use for the gold ? Nice job. Steve Prideaux

Very clean build. The stance is perfect. Great job. Steve Prideaux

Mike. Thanks for sharing the pictures. It was indeed a great show. They said there were over 1000 models !! Congrats to John Teresi for his receiving two staff picks and to Ira for the award of the most outragous model with his Corvette and Hauler, that he shared the build with us here on the forum, great job. Art Laski's Willys paint job and chassis is incredible. As always is the case, seeing these models in person is even more spectacular. It was great meeting up with old friends and making new ones. The show is one of the best. Steve Prideaux

I will be there. It would be nice to put a face to some of the names on here. I hope to see you all there. It is a great show. Steve Prideaux

Thank you all for the kind comments. I do not have any inprogress pictires. The front end was made from ten thousandts styrene sheet with the rivet detail by using a seamstruss tracing wheel from Michael's fabric store. The first time I put some lacquer primer on it, the plastic warped badly. I had to put another layer of plastic on the front end and use acrylic primer. Thanks for asking.

Great project Rich. The stance and front end are perfect !! What are the wheels from ? Great job. Steve Prideaux

I am just about finished with "Betty". I have a little more paint work and some lettering to do. What do you think ? Comments greatly welcome. Steve Prideaux

Greg, If you google- star models resin and click on star models home page, you should be able to get the drop down menu to work.

I talked to Steve Kohler, of Star Models and he said that he is not getting any more R&R resin and he has about 1100 pieces in his stock. He does update his list, as the last individual item is sold. So you had better buy it if you want something. No word on anyone continuing casting any of their products.

It really looks like it is ready for the track. Nice job.

John, The color looks fantastic. Is the paint acrylic or enamel ? It looks really great. Steve Prideaux

Thank you all for the kind comments. I really appreciate them. I am starting on the intake and exhaust setups for this car. It has run with a 4barrel Holley, and a 2-Holley 2 barrels set up. Which do you guys think ? I really like the 2-2bbl. scoop setup. thanks Steve

Bill, that is a beautiful Challenger model. Great finish. Did you find a sealer to use on it? I have been experimenting with acrylic paint for my finish, but have not gotten the results I am trying for. Again, your model is outstanding. Thanks for the input. Steve

I saw this car at Bonneville and decided to try and do a model, to resemble it. I started with a 53 Chevy. ( the only model I had that was close to the Buick. I took two Chevy straight 6 engines, to make a Buick straight eight. I still have to build the intake and headers for the engine. I am going to try and paint it to resemble bare metal, (any ideas on how to paint it ? All help and comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am sure glad they re-released the Ford Hauler again. I am currently building a rendition of the Sox And Martin hauler with both 65 altered wheelbase Plymouths. Several years ago, I built the Hauler with a C600 cab with a sleeper and 2- 69 Ford Mustangs. The new release looks to be the same as the original. Steve Prideaux

John, Fremont Racing Specialties, made the 4dr Anglia/Prefect with the traditional Anglia front end and also with the Prefect front end. They do show up on EBay. Joe, at Fremont has not made them for several years. He also made a chopped top 2dr body.

Niko, Thank you very much for the information. I just ordered several from Ted. Again thank you very much. I appreciate it. Steve Prideaux

I am looking for any resin casters, that currently make turbos,in 1/24th- 1/25th and 1/16th scale any information would be appreciated. thanks, Steve Prideaux

Daryl, Great build. It looks spot on. Now you only have to build 11 more to have the complete set.LOL Nice job!! Steve Prideaux

Dave, Resin motor replicas has a 51 Ford COE Crewcab listed on their website. rmrresin.com

mcwautomotivefinishes.com They have both chevy fenderwell headers and the Mopar/Johan super stock headers listed under parts. Steve Prideaux

Great job Jesse. I also have the body from Joe and the decals from Skip, to do this car some day. I think we all miss Skip. Again great build. Steve Prideaux

Welcome to the forum,Jim. This is the best model car forum and as Curt said, modeling is still alive and well in this area. If you need anything, let me know. I had knee surgery about 2 years ago. Steve Prideaux

Does anyone know who makes the fenders for a car trailer ? I know someone had made them in the past. Any help will be appreciated Steve Prideaux
