MADDOG

I used to race home from school so I could watch this cartoon. Awesome idea.

This look absolutely awesome. I just completed building a box stock LRW. But this is super cool!

Outstanding build! Love the colors you choose. Just wonderful.

Was hoping to see so more of the progress on this build........ Was going great. Looking forward to seeing this build completed.

I LOVE how that red and silver go together.

Very cool thread. I love looking at old pictures.

When I was a kid my dad took me to a few races at Great lakes drag way. I saw this truck a couple of times. My Father and I both loved it and talked about it a lot over the years. When I saw the kit I had to pick it up. Here is the most memorable drag racing truck in my life.

GOSH DANG!!! That is absolutely awesome! I am going to watch this build closely. Thanks you for sharing.

I think I love this.

This is something I have wondered from time to time. Glad you asked.

I have been thinking about getting this kit for sometime now. So I Had my buddy Joe from HTUSA order me up a Lindberg Big Red Rod. I have heard plenty of issues from different people on these. But I still wanted to build a kit of this scale. I took a pic of it next to my 1/12 camaro box for scale. This thing is huge.

If i saw this and someone told me its a pic of a new real bike...I would completely believe them. This is a very realistic build. Just outstanding!

Looks so sinister! I like it how it is. But I am sure Ernest Jr. will make it look badass no matter what!

I like this very much!

I am so very sorry this happened to you Joe. I hope your sanding will do the trick. I used modelsmasters paint and testors "wet" clear coat and have had great luck when painting over decals. I have had issues when decaling a chrome or aluminum painted part. I have to put a coat of cleat on these parts before the decal so they don't bubble. I wonder if your gold paint has the same effect that the chrome and aluminum paint had for me.... I just could not get decals to stick to these colors with out a sealer of some sort first. But I have never had this issue with any other colors.

I see some many yard/garage sales..... and I always tell myself (don't bother stopping, you never find anything). After seeing your outstanding find.... I will never assume I wont find anything again. This is just a amazing find. Even if you were not a model builder/collector... anyone would benefit from such a find. If you sold off all of that kit by kit, you would make 10 fold what you paid.

Man Joe...those decals are poppin! Looks real cool on top of that gold.

Holy freaking cow! This is amazing! I just love the outstanding craftsmanship abilities you have!

That work truck is badass!! Great work.

I swear the guy down the street from me when I was a kid had this exact car! Love it. Wonderful build.

Welcome! Its a good bunch of modelers here on this site. Very helpful.

That article itself was a interesting read.

I wonder why it has been removed from round2's website.

When I had a Cobra back in the day... I was pulled over for "exiting a driveway to quickly". The cop was a huge mustang fan and had 2 himself and said he rather talk about the car and give me a warning then a ticket. He looked at the motor and showed me pics of his and went on his way. Coolest traffic stop of my life. I actually forgot about it till I saw this thread.
