    I like the color, but then I'm real partial to blue.
  2. Roadrunner
    What a cool old kit. It's one that I wanted, but never did get.

    My latest acquisition, the Revell Corvette gasser, purchased as a Christmas gift from me to me; Hobby Lobby 40% off. I also snatched a can of Star Spangled Blue lacquer while I was there.

    I had about a dozen of the 1320's, but sold them a couple of years ago when I needed the cash. They held their value pretty well I thought. I've lived here all of my life, and have never known anything else.

    That I also do. I'd never remember one year to the next what cool idea I dreamed up, if I didn't log that idea somewhere. This is true for all of my modeling ideas, which extend well outside of cars projects.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Roger,... I love those old paint cans. Are those 1320 die-cast dragsters?
  7. Roadrunner
    I never even considered it.
  8. Roadrunner
    Looks cool. I always did like the '55.
  9. Roadrunner
    I think I built this kit when I was a kid. Nice.
  10. Roadrunner
    Very nice indeed.
  11. Roadrunner
    Cool. I've always liked the Hurst car.
  12. Roadrunner
    Are all you guys in this section of the site, maniacs? I mean that in a good way.
  13. Roadrunner
    Looks great.
  14. Roadrunner
    Excellent. I've wanted to tackle the first dragster for quite a while, 1:16 scale I think.
  15. Roadrunner
    Very nice indeed. I have one or two dragsters to eventually do, but I'm spooked by all the plumbing the engine will need.
  16. Roadrunner
    I don't know what to say. I thought I had patience, until I saw this.
  17. Roadrunner
    Very cool. Thanks, Alan.

    Interesting observation, Bill, thanks for pointing that out. This is the hood that came with the kit, so I'm OK with it. Besides, it looks pretty cool, I think.
  19. Roadrunner
    I'll keep it in mind, Steve, so thanks. (I'll also put a small (very small) radius on the hood edges and fenders, so that paint bridging the two becomes less of a problem.
  20. Roadrunner
    Gap turned out to be closer to .030 (almost exactly), so .015 strips have been glued to hood sides to close that gap. Once dry, I'll trim to size, putty as needed, then secure to body.
  21. Roadrunner
    Interesting question. I tend to be rather OCD, so I grab whatever I desire at that particular time.
  22. Roadrunner
    I have very limited display space, at least for the moment, so most will be carefully stored, then switched with others that are displayed, as the mood suits.
  23. Roadrunner
    Well thank goodness the hood opening and hood are very square, so no trapezoidal corrections need to be done.
  24. Roadrunner
    What a really nice looking Cobra you have going here; paint looks very nice.
  25. Roadrunner
    Well, I'm that way with a lot of cars, Chris. While I may like the real car a lot, that doesn't necessarily mean I'd ever want to build a model of it. I tend to stick with muscle cars and classic 30's/40's types, with an occasional 55 or so thrown in.
