Very cool. Reminds me of the Mid Engined Cuda I did a couple of years ago. I am also going to do a Mustang 60's body style.

I hope you get your bonus and your Pool - with the girl in the red suit!

It would be cool if you sent a pict of the wheels to Scale Repro. Maybe they could start making kits with the alum rim and different resin centers. That would be VERY COOL.

Puts a point on a Mail getter

This is very cool and I will be watching with great interest. I built a fantasy racer from that kit but I did not go as far as this. Making me want to do another!

Eha, shesa lookin asoo gooda. Thada beea onse sweeta ridea!

Cant wait to see yours. Mine has been sitting for years due to the lack of detail and needing to find all the correct looking parts. Good Luck and post lots of picts

My camera was givin me fits so I did not shoot as much as usual. Here is the link http://public.fotki.com/djway3474/model-car-shows/cactus-classic-2010/ The boat is 1/16 and is amazing. There were a ton of custom and scratch built pieces out there. Paint is gettin better all around. Enjoy Hosted on Fotki

Thanks for the info!

Do you know the name of the mfg of the bender and where I might find one in So Cal or on the net? Thanks.

When I build mine it will by my first go with photoetch items. What is this bender you mention? Is it some kind of mini brake? Where would one find them? Hopefully I will learn enough on here to build mine right. Thanks Dwayne

Wicked Cool Wayne! dwayne

i copied every word of this to help me when I start mine. I build so it looks good to me and I don't worry about every tiny little detail so I am sure it will be fun Thanks for all the information!!!!!!!!!! Dwayne J

Awe Hondo you know you would have looked

Walking down the beach on St Maarten I came across this. Prime beach front location. Can't beat that! Hosted on Fotki

That is BEAUTIFUL! Where did you find the photo etch? You made me dig through the stash and found my copy. Thanks for the inspiration! Dwayne J

Those Round 2 fellas are killing my retirement fund LOL

I sent you a note on Ebay but I will say it again here. Beautiful!

Wayne - Fantastic work, As Usual! You high detail guys just blow me away. I hear you on not being able to sell stuff. I have been offered some stupid amounts of money and just could not do it. KEEP IT and build another. Dwayne

First time I have seen this thread and I must say WOW! One of my favorite cars growing up out in the deset manning one pit after another. I was lucky enough to go to Parnellies shop several times and hang out with him and Mickey. They had the drawing for start positions at his place once and Mickey took me all around and showed me all the little things they were fabricating. One time this car was crossing the dry lake coming into Jean NV and the sun was glinting off the wing. Guessing fully wound out the thing was doing well over 130 and the dirt trail behind was amazing, looked like a ball of flame spewing a long smoke trail. I got to see it many more times from Vegas to Mexico. Good times! Again Great work!

I got some really nice sets from Flashpoint Resin

I believe is was the C5R kit by the looks of the wheels I tend to start things one decade and finish the next LOL

Here is a tribute to the GT 40's of the past. I scratched out the aero skirts, adapted the rollcage and some racin parts from the Corvette racer kits and borrowed the wheels too. Made the decals like the old GT40's. Somewhere along the line I lost the tail lights so I made some from headlights. I'd loose my head if........

This is one of those high detail Fujimi kits with tons o parts. POC, absolutely nothing fit on this thing and box stock you would think it was a mud bogger as high as it sat. I wanted to enter in box stock but it was just too darn ugly sittin sky high. Finally got it down and just had to remove a bunch of stuff, do a lot of grindin and here she sits.
