A couple of older movies that are really good "Thunder in Carolina" the (late '50's) early days of stock-car racing. Another good one is "Last American Hero" roughly based on the life and racing career of the late Junior Johnson. Then of course there are the Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello movies "Fireball 500" and can't remember the other one right off-hand.

Pretty, well-built rig. Would have liked to see it with a lighter or white background so those beautiful colors would stand out more. Very impressive build.

You have captured this car perfectly IMHO. I am a big Sox & Martin fan, have been since the early Chevrolet days. Everything about this build is beautiful, your paint separation is right on. Looking forward to more beautiful build such as this, although I don't think any will be able to match Sox & Martin.

Chevy six from the Revell '53 Chevy powering a old style sportsman coupe. Plymouth flathead six-cylinder in a '41 Plymouth circle-track racer.

Not sure of my wardrobe yet, but it will either be a t-shirt with "Glory Days" and a picture of a Willys gasser, an FED dragster and an altered, or my red Ford t-shirt with the F-1-100 series trucks on the back.

Saw this at the body shop that is repairing my Pinto. Think I may give it a try, except using the '55 Nomad body and putting it on an AMT 2005 Cadillac Escalade chassis.

These were in the parking lot of the shop that is doing the bodywork on my Pinto.

Superb work on this Baja bug. I am floored by the realism of your tires. What paint did you use to get that look on them? I have the wide-eyed kit and will be working on it soon (soon being a relative term), also have their engine and stinger exhaust. Also like your paint scheme. Very nice overall build.

I am a Ford guy, but I would definitely drive that Mopar. Nice clean build, actually a bit difficult to determine which is which in some of the photos. Both look really good.

Dropped by Hobby Lobby to pick up a 40% off '69 Torino kit I have some extensive plans for and came across some other bargains.

I didn't realize that AMT kit could look so good. But when a true craftsman gets ahold of it, then it's true beauty really shows. Love that color of blue and didn't notice the stripes until someone above mentioned them. They are truly subtle and work well with the build. Great job.

Got mine yesterday, lots of eye candy from different shows. Very good issue.

What they all said. That is one mighty sweet little pick-up. The color combination fits it just right. Neat, clean build ?.

Never really been a Ferrari or Corvette enthusiast, but this build has really caught my attention. Maybe its the idea of cutting up a Ferrari, I don't know. Your build style and the fact you are sharing all the steps of this build are what is making it so interesting. I can see using some of these ideas on other builds. Will be watching the progress.

I'll be there also, got my table reserved. Got a lot of stuff unrelated to cars as well as some cars. So stop by, say hello, and bring money.

This is what I am currently working on. It will be on the Lindberg F-150 4X4 chassis, engine, and drivetrain - modified to fit. I have a set of 20" tires I got from ebay and a set of Aoshima wheels that are close to the ones on my 1:1 2022 F-150. I am considering labeling it as a F-125 since it is half F-100 and half F-150. I am a bit farther long than the picture shows, hopefully this afternoon I can get some primer on the body to see where I am.

Haven't seen one of these since the original issue. I have some of the parts, but would really like to have an original or repop of one of them. For some reason I am hooked on AMT's version of the Willys coupe, but really looking for that custom sedan.

Do you have any pictures?

Went out for dinner this evening at the local Dodge City and saw these two beauties in the parking lot.

A couple of nice builds. That 65 Malibu looks like a real grocery-getter from the suburbs. Pretty decent Mopar also, interior is really nice.

Beautiful Impala, outstanding paint and overall detail. Sir, you are a master of model building. Congratulations on the awards, they were well deserved.

Shot in Fort Worth, TX sometime late '82 or early '83. Not sure if the marquee guy was being a wiseacre or was just not paying attention.

One of my favorite shows as a kid, loved the squealing tires on those dirt roads. If I can remember correctly I believe the early shows had him driving Fords of that era, but in the later shows he switched to Buicks. I may have different shows in mind, but still liked that show.

Just finished a great trade with Promodeler69. Will trade again if the opportunity arises.

Can't add much to the compliments already stated. I really like this build, it is just so realistic in so many ways. This is some expert craftsmanship. The only thing I see missing is a SEGA sticker on the side. This car would fit right in with that organization.
