This is one of those 40% off H.L. purchases which I am happy about the price any way. My kit had some issues with twisted parts and excessive flash. There were also fit issues with the exhaust and interior tub. Not to mention the firewall location. I did adjust the ride height to except the 17" Torq Thrust D wheels from Jays resin wheels on Ebay. I used Tamiya white with Minwax urethane clear and basic hardware semi black for the carriage. The hood decals were a nightmare and ended up tearing before the Micro set did its job (Operator error). The engine is box stock and brush painted acrylic, nothing to see there. All in all, not a bad shelf model and I finished it on New Year's Day, a nice way to start 2023.

Al Auth has passed on. Many will remember him for his enthusiastic nature of hotrods both 1:1 and scale models. Proficient modeler and co-founder of the Ravenna Model Car Club he mastered many items for area resin casters. Some will remember if from his newspaper delivery bag, he shouldered at every swap and show he attended. If you ever had the opportunity to talk cars with Al you quickly learned just how much he loved them, from his Street Rod Chevy to his model bench, he had a wide range of automobile parts, magazines, kits, resin pieces tools and knowledge. He was an Army Vet, Father and Husband. I will remember him as my friend. RIP and breathe easy, Al...

Righteous Retro Chevelle, love those old paint schemes.

Outstanding rendition!

Impressive, cleanly built and engineered model. Wait, it is a scale model right!

Very interesting build, I like it.

Nice clean build, detailed well, nice color and finish.

I am thankful for the Creators grace, patients and understanding.

Lovely Rig!

Lovely beast you have there...

Very refreshing to see someone knows the truth about what a Rat Bike is! Nicely done model, detailed very well and believable. Great Job!

Outstanding article and model DL, well done.

Just lovely!

I started this one quite awhile ago before we moved. Now that I have a new bench set up I was able to get beach to it. I will say with age my skills are diminishing but I do enjoy the hobby still. That’s an Iceman Collectibles engine squeezed in there under a bulged hood. Some Revell 32 Ford wheels and tires and painted with Testors enamel.

Not buying a bunch of the old ASA Stock Car kits when they were $20!

YES!

I love this!

I like spare parts

Nicely done

Was alcohol involved?

Both built with spare parts...

This is crazy talk.....

This should be fun to watch...
