Slightly off-topic again, but just following up on the MC5 reference, my wife and I attended this show a couple of weeks back which featured the MC5's Wayne Kramer: https://variety.com/2023/music/concert-reviews/nuggets-wild-honey-lenny-kaye-alex-glendale-concert-review-1235620790/ "For pure dexterity, meanwhile, it’s hard to beat Wayne Kramer, who, dressed all in white, reestablished himself as an older generation’s Tom Morello for a few jammy minutes in the Act I-closing “Baby Please Don’t Go,” with the Alarm’s Mike Peters handling the vocals and then standing back from the fireworks."

Another 287 shots added, starting near the bottom of page 16: https://public.fotki.com/GSL-Model-Car-Championship/gsl-xxviii-the-finale/entries/page16.html Less than 500 to go!

Tim - Thanks for the write-up. It was indeed wonderful to see it come to fruition and have it be met with such a enthusiastic reception. The real achievement to me is bringing such a group together to create such cohesive, quality work that is much greater than what anyone could have done individually. It certainly got me to push my abilities beyond where I had gone before. I'm honored and proud to have been a part of it. I added some photos to the GSL Fotki site here: https://public.fotki.com/GSL-Model-Car-Championship/gsl-xxviii-the-finale/the-lynx-project/

Not much else, but I found this: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/harry-bentley-bradley-r-i-p.1292799/

Excellent! Where do those PE bezels come from?

Just added another 158 pics, starting at the beginning of page five: https://public.fotki.com/GSL-Model-Car-Championship/gsl-xxviii-the-finale/entries/page5.html

Same link - I'm adding additional photos to the album as I get them edited.

Another 115 added. https://public.fotki.com/GSL-Model-Car-Championship/gsl-xxviii-the-finale/entries/

The first 242 photos are up - only 1981 to go! Photos are here: https://public.fotki.com/GSL-Model-Car-Championship/gsl-xxviii-the-finale/entries/ Unfortunately, I have no easy way to correlate the builders' names with the photos, so if you see a model you built (or know who did) leave a comment under the photo. I'll post in this thread as I add more photos.

Sorry, not quite yet! I am working my way through over 2200 photos - these are the photos that Andy Barlow took on a turntable in a light box as the models were entered, so they are for the most part the clearest and best lit photos you'll see of these models, except for the ones Gregg took of selected subjects. I'm doing some basic Photoshop corrections including cropping. As you might imagine, with so many photos, this is a time-consuming process, but the results should be worth it. I'll begin posting them to the GSL Fotki site as they're finished. Please be patient - I want to show these beautiful models off to their best advantage.

Yes, just cut out the molded in rear seat and replaced it with sheet styrene. The spare tire and other bits in the back do a decent enough job of covering the areas where the door panels should be.

I'll be there. Nothing all that new to show, but I'll be bringing a few things that have been seen here.

How about doing the Mario Andretti car from Bridgehampton? Mario's first road race, by the way. https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/photo/Mario-Andretti-USA.html I have the UMI decals I can send you.

Looking really good, Mike! If you're looking for a drop axle for the front, the Tony Nancy double kit has one that's just about right.

Another winner added to your excellent collection!

Another detail that's easy and cheap to improve is the rear wing actuator. Here's a shot of a different Chaparral, but the principle is the same.
