Nice looking circle tracker! Can't go wrong with any tri 5 racer and red and white are a favorite! The race scapes add to the great looking model!

Any updates here? I was able to pick up one of the Aurora kit off feebay. I also found a parts kit just in case.

Outstanding progress here. Have you considered a welded on look for the Mopar badge instead of bolted. It looks so clean and refined now.

Splendidly built, nice and clean with a perfect color combo. Given the right background it could easily be mistaken for a 1:1.

Nicely done. And if it was any other driver I would give a ?

Nicely done, but technically those are "Honey Do's" either way they look good.

Very fine workmanship! Are these Sportsman tires available? I have one set but would like to find more...

MCW paints are some of the best. Premixed mild lacquer colored per 1:1 factory paint, or custom mixed to order. Best sprayed with an airbrush, you can't go wrong.

Thanks for sharing this tale, fascinating!

It was less than $2.00 a gal today. Most of my driving is Highway so I wonder if that helps?

I recently acquired a 2010 F150 XLT (Flex Fuel rated) The yellow ring on the filler and the badge signifies this also. 1. Can you mix regular gas and flex or do you have tuse one or the other? 2. What about performance? 3. I read that F-F gets less mileage due to lower combustion. And if doesn't that defeat the idea! 4. I'm sticking with the regular for now

Those headers do look great, very difficult to bend. Looks like shrink wrap for the collectors?

The Devil is in the Details....

Colors mentioned so far: Cream, Pale Yellow, Ace likes Potato, Some kind of Purple, Google says Smooth Blue, Black, Beige, Skin Tone depending on your heritage, Chocolate Single Malt, Blue, Orange being the new Black, French Silk, Satin Brown, White Lightning, Flat or Semi Flat Black. I think of GM Capri Cream or maybe Butternut Yellow, any thoughts?

Back story. I have a model car that will be smoothed, meaning all the non essential parts are removed or flattened for a smooth look. I want the color to reflect that same idea, so what color best represents the term smooth? I first thought of butter or cream. Chocolate or French silk are close but I’m not sure about a brown car? There are no wrong answers...

What color would "SMOOTH" be? Or if you think SMOOTH what color comes to mind? Asking for a friend...

rarely seems great

Perhaps he left because of the very thing that has happened in the post?

So I open this thread and start reading, search, seeking through the words and the pictures, seeing in my mind Roth smiling in the background. Wonder who in their right mind would build such a thing? And thinking of a particular model builder I know. Going back to the author of this post and yes, that's the guy! As always I will be watching

I find this car fascinating!

to high too

Not sure what the start of his leaving this site was, and I guess the reason doesn't matter to anyone but him. Perhaps we should send him a message on his youtube channel?

Nicely done, the Good Guys stickers proves it...

I am enjoying this...
