Always felt the AMT flip nose body looked somewhat '40 Fordish, and the nose was too large. Have built many of each but favor the later Revell issue.

Outstanding scratch work. I have a Cox Cheetah slot car kit new in box. Wish I had the nerve to attempt something like this Have been following, looking forward to the under-glass completion.

Thanks, Carl.

After watching what transpired in Iran. I pulled out my half built 1/200th B2 bomber and my almost completed 1/72nd Horten HO229 German Flying Wing from my shelf of doom. Finished the Horten HO229 first. Will now turn to painting the B2. Hard to believe the Horten was ready to fly in 1945. Comments welcome.

Why, with todays technology has no one come out with a 1/25th 3D printed Mantaray show car body? I have sourced an engine (IMC Weber carbed 289 Ford), a chassis, suspension, wheels and tires from an AMT Indy Watson Roadster. Just waiting for a Mantaray body.

That looks like a lite grey interior?

Been building and collecting for over 50 years. Have over 300 kits in my stash and over 200 built in the display cases. My wife is very supported as she is president of her sewing club, so we have separate hobby rooms and bank accounts. When one of her club members passes on, I have to help her, and her club members load up the deceased person sewing stash (sometimes hundreds of yards of fabric), take it is storage and then they have a club sale at the local Farmers market. Yep, I'm safe.

My nurse daughter-in-law who works in ER says they call them organ donors

Have a built one (built in the 70's) and an unbuilt one from MPC. Both have injectors with no blower in the kit.

Never has it ever been so clearly explained!

Thanks. Best of luck with your project. MM

Having been impressed with Phildaupho's build of this car, I decided to try one myself. Using his WIP ( Lola T70 Mk2 1/24 scale- Under Glass - Page 3 - WIP: Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum ) as a guide. Had a 1/24th Tamiya Lola T-70 Spyder slot car body, found an MPC Ford GT MKIV glue bomb chassis with interior. Pulled parts for the front and rear suspension, engine, transaxle, headers, and wheels from an MPC Gurney Eagle kit. Tires are from the parts box. Paint is Testors rattlecan Nassau Blue lacquer with Wet Look clear gloss and a coat of Future gloss. Decals are from the robbed MPC Gurney Eagle kit. Not as detailed as Phildaupho's build but happy to have a Lola T-70 in the display case. Comments welcome.

Outstanding. Here's a pic from their memorial gathering.

Have an MPC 1/16 scale General Lee with the MPC 1/16 '73 Street Charger stock interior parts. What ya got too trade? MM

Been working on a Lola T-70 Spyder being build using a Tamiya 1/24 slot car body. Had an old MPC GT40 chassis, and using the engine, wheels, front and rear suspension from a Gurney Eagle kit.

Outstanding build! You could have used the MPC Jolly Roger Maverick FC kit (a Multi-Maverick spin off). There's one that just sold in April on FeePay for $494.99.

Outstanding. Have an original kit in its mailer box in my stash.

Well, I've done a few over the years. Got a few more in the stash. The race is on the 25th.

Great work. Minor detail but the box says Patent Pending not Patient Pending.

But I bet it will list for around $40 now when it was sold for less than $2.00. in the 70's

Oh wow, the Scorpion drag coupe (a reworked Astro 1 body on the Piranha chassis). One of my Holy Grail kits. Will be watching for this one. Below is a pic of Scott Colmer's customized build of a Scorpion Drag Coupe. MM

Your eyes are better than mine. I count 3 rows of 11 cars, I think.

Outstanding work so far. Included one of my favorite pics from the Indy 500 winners Museaum photo shoot.

Will be following. Did a similar "What If" of a Butch Leal '65 Thunderbolt. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/166012-what-if-butch-leal-65-ford-thunderbolt-ss/?do=findComment&comment=2479670
