Great looking work.

Little update. I painted the engine block Tamiya Navy Blue. The fit of the parts so far is very good. Bill

Finally got started. Started putting the frame together. It was harder than I thought it would be to get everything aligned correctly. The rear end had to mounted as part of the frame. Bill

Hi Guys, I haven't decided which to do, but I am leaning towards #1 or #2. I am not planning to duplicate the car, just build something towards a style. I don't think my skills are good enough to replicate a car. I do have a question for everyone. I am planning to put a blown Chrysler in it. Looking at pictures, I have seen several different colors for engine blocks. I have seen what appears to be black and I have seen a darker red. Is there a correct color for a early 60's Chrysler. Thanks, Bill

Here are several possible ideas. Bill

It's time to start my next build. I have gotten the Monogram "The Slingster" customizing dragster. There are lots of good pictures of old rails to choose from. I have seen a picture of one of Don Garlits early rails that I like. I remember as a kid in Tampa Florida going behind Don's shop to see if we could find anything cool the he was throwing away. I plan building it with the blown Chrysler engine. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. Bill

Well, I say I am just getting back to the hobby. I have been back for about a year after a thirty year layoff. It will take a long time to get to the level of the builders on this site. Bill

Thanks guys. As I am just getting back into the hobby, every build presents new opportunities to increase my skills. I just noticed that I forgot to add the metal foil for the rear window posts. Metal foil is another new adventure to learn. Bill

A few things to do and it's done.

A little update.

These are the tools that I have used so far building my latest model. Not counting the glue, for me the most important and most expensive tool in the picture is the spruce cutter. Bill

I work rotating shifts (6 to 6 ). When I work the night shift I will only spend a small amount of time building. What I will do is to plan out what I want to do and then when I get up I will only do what I have planned. Most of the time I sleep between 6 & 7 hours. Bill

Little update. Bill

Hi Vennie, Nice site.

Hi Everyone, Have the interior mostly finished. Bill

Looking Good

Hi Guys, I have started my next adventure. It's the Revell Glasses Gasser 62 Vette gasser. The paint is Tamiya Mica Red with a base coat of Tamiya Gold. This is what I have gotten done so far. Bill

Great looking Super Bee

Hey John, At the top of the "Forums" page, there is a "Chat" tile. Just click on it, agree to the rules and you are in. Bill

Great looking work. When I first looked at the engine bay, I thought it was a 1:1 car picture. Bill

I belong to a R/C airplane site and have made friends and shared information with people from around the world. Lots of fun. Bill

Hey Charlie, That could be a good idea. At another site I belong to, it seem like a lot of guys get on the chat in the morning (eastern time).

Hi All, Being new here, I have noticed that there never seems to be very many people in the chat room. Is there a time when most people get on to chat. Bill

Hi Monty, Thanks for the link. Don offers a lot of really good information on his site. Bill

Hi Jonathan, I think for starting out and $90, it's hard to beat. I have a Harbor Freight about 15 minutes from my house. I'm going to run down there and look at it. As Charlie suggested above, if I get it I will get the warranty. Only problem is when I go to Harbor Freight I end up buying about twice what I went in to buy. Bill
