Every aspect of your build is outstanding, but that engine compartment and undercarriage are just insane!! Well done sir!!
-
Wow - really, really, really nice! Clean and smooth - well done!!
-
WOW!! You jumped back in with both feet! Quality to go along with quantity. Thanks for your write up - I to have been idle since my early teenage years and am hoping to have the time, steady hands, and adequate eyesight to jump back in soon. When I do, I know I'll never get 18 done in a year, but hopefully I can replicate the quality you've shown on these. I especially like the Quaker State bird (always liked that paint scheme for some reason) and the black Charger. Well done on all of them sir!!

Man, that is clean, straight, and sharp as a tack - well done sir!!
-
Outstanding!! Well done sir!
-
Beautiful build!! I love the broad side photo showing the perfect bed to cab alignment, and the laser straight side and rocker moldings! Well done sir!!
-
Awesome - love the arrest me red with poverty caps - cool!!

Oh wow - that is freakin sweet - I can't stop lookin at the pics - great build!!

Clean, mean, and green!! Well done sir!!

There is some drama with fitting the hood, also a good bit of drama fitting the frame to the cab with the interior tub in place during final assembly. I had to heat the interior tub at the floor pans on both sides and reshape to give me about the 1/4 inch I needed to make it work. I honestly wouldn't recommend for a first time glue kit. But I guess that depends on how old your son is. The kit is good subject matter though.
Understood Tim, thanks for the heads up!

Beautifully done - great color, top notch finish work - everything crisp and clean! What was your impression of the kit? Decent fit with no drama? Saw this at HL the other day and was thinking it might make a good first glue kit for my son.

Not only outstanding builds, but awesome photos for all of us to enjoy! Well done sir!!
-
Outstanding! I always love seeing any of Davey or Bill's former machines, and your version of Sterling's #22 is sharp as a tack also - well done sir!!
-
Wow - what a chore that must have been! But....well worth the effort - I like everything about it. Well done sir!!
-
Very, very, very impressive in subject matter and execution!! Well done sir!!
-
Clean, crisp, outstanding!! Well done sir!
-
Awesome, faithful, and well executed build!! And yes - one of the greatest drag race action photos of all time!

Outstanding build and tribute to Davey - well done sir! I've got 2 of this kit and 2 of the earlier white/gold/black kit that I've been hesitant to build cause I want my skills to be up to the task of making them great. I became a nascar fan as Davey was coming to prominence and he quickly became my favorite. Always smiling, always pleasant - but also a fierce competitor who wasn't afraid to lay the chrome horn to anyone. Not ashamed to say that of all the movie stars, rock stars, racers, people of notoriety, that have died in my lifetime - his was the only death that I broke down and cried over. Excellent build - thanks for sharing!
-
Outstanding build! But as with all your builds, my favorite part is the wheel / tire combo and the stance - you nailed it again! Well done!
-
Awesome front to back, top to bottom - but I'm especially diggin that engine compartment - top notch - well done sir!!
-
Awesome build! Looks like top notch BMF work throughout - well done sir!!
-
Awesome! I like everything about it - well done sir!
-
You're the master of stance - another well executed build!
-
Awesome build! Great paint, engine, grille, tail light panel - but most of all - great wheel/tire choice, fit, and stance. The most important factor in making a 1:1 car look right also makes a scale car look right. Well done sir!!
