  1. You’re welcome and that is a cool photo editing of a picture I took at Sebring a few months ago.
  2. Here’s a few cars of note spotted in the garages at Homestead Raceway.
  3. I noticed no one has posted the flyer for the show April 22, 2023. This will be the first show in four years. I usedI to get a post card every year but since I moved out of state over a year ago if one was sent I would not get it. I’ve never seen an email from the club which is okay so here’s a screen shot from the website www.NNLEast.com
  4. Thanks everyone. I’m glad I was able to complete this project after shelving it for a very long time.
  5. It looks a little darker than Grabber Blue.
  6. Not sure why. Simple search lowest price including shipping will attract any serious buyers. I have to wonder why sellers do not bother looking at their competitors offerings and set their price pretty close. The lowest price may not always be the best as some of these are shipped from Asia but why overpay for a new item where supply is not scarce yet.
  7. Not that crazy of an idea. The chassis and engines in the AMT and MPC kits are either wrong or carry overs from kits that five-six years before 71-73 which means zero 1/25 351 Clevelands or a 429CJ. Of course most of the 71-73s in this picture are coupes.
  8. Pretty cool. I guess BTTF fans with $1500 to spare will not be disappointed. I wonder if the owner of this Delorean will get one.
  9. There have been plenty of diecasts done in 1/64, 1/43 and 1/18 so that should not be an issue. She also lost the lawsuit against Shelby for the Foose Eleanor custom Mustang.
  10. Ed confirmed the 1:24 is incorrect. I guess the new date for the Boss is April and the Mach1 in September. Anyone want to bet if there will be an Eleanor version next year?
  11. Very nice Cobraman on all three builds. I remember building this kit years ago and how some things did not fit that great like the exhaust headers to the side pipes but it looks like you have not had to many issues. I’m not sure why but now I have a craving for root beer. ?
  12. I guess so. Even the Revell 2023 catalog has this “error” which is odd.
  13. Good catch. I hope Ed Sexton can shed some light on this anomaly.
  14. Should be any day now and look what’s already in the works. Pictures found on Facebook posted by Ryan Boyd. Not sure if the 66 Shelby will be too different releases by the 71 Mach1 should be as awesome as the new Boss 351.
  15. ? Very sad story and very genuine unlike so many reality shows that make things look so easy. I hope who ever bought the car restorers it and takes this young man for a ride in it. He has his priorities straight helping his mother with her house.
  16. Great combination of the silver, black trim and red interior.
  17. Here’s one I saw Saturday.
  18. Thanks. Those old IMC kits can be challenging.
  19. Nice blue color and I think we have all been there on final assembly did that really just happen moment.
  20. Technically I completed the Boss 302 a few weeks ago but it took forever to finish so now it’s on to some new and other half started projects.
  21. Beautiful paint and decals. In the last week I think I saw every Porsche on the Florida east coast between the PCA show in South Miami (Coconut Grove) and at the 24 hours of Daytona race in the PCA area in the infield.
  22. Not the same car but I saw this one at Daytona this weekend.
  23. I like the look of those tail lights especially on a black car. Although Shelby started to lose interest in the Mustangs after 1967 when Ford took over production with the help of AO Smith, he saw the writing on the wall by 1969 when the last ones were made at Fords plant with the almost identical 1970 models. Since Shelby was a name recognized in Europe, a deal was stuck with a Belgian company to create a 1971 Shelby Europa Mustang. Although records show only nine were made, they have some distinct differences from a standard sportsroof or convertible. The best information about these unique and obscure cars is on the website http://www.ponysite.de/sheleur.htm
  24. Very realistic. Glad I did not have to wait very long.
