I had the kit when it was current but lost it & 99% of my models in a move in the '70's. I bought one a few years back on Ebay as I have become a fan of the slant 6. It was a complete kit but has a tire burn on the windshield.

Is the woodgraining done on wood? If so, was there not enough grain that just doing a stain wouldn't suffice? Or is this practice for the framing? (It looks like a panel that you are working on)

Nice! I like the slightly weathered wood.

Says it all!

The interior is fantastic!

What he said!

Beautiful paint/flame job!

The rack looks great! I'm impressed as to how you made the feet.

Thank you. I just checked & it appears I'm too late. The sale is over. I will check back to see if these come up again.

Very nice! I still have trouble getting the results you achieved with the air brush. Very nicely done!

Thanks Tony! I think my computer will translate for me. I will have to check it out tonight or sometime in the near future. John

This is a cool looking racer!

Ditto. As always great weathering.

Looks good! Great pics!

Thanks, Bill!

It sounds as if you may be a bit miffed that an old topic has been posted in a new thread, even though you were gracious enough to contribute your knowledge. I'm relatively new to this site too & I'm sure there are many topics that I would be interested in & questions I may have or will have that are already covered somewhere on this site, but with almost 18,000 topics just in this here "General" section alone and no index or other way to find the threads one would want, it is inevitable that new threads on the same topics will arise. I would have never found the earlier discussions on this topic but have found this one quite informative. If you would post links to the earlier threads that would be helpful too. I would like to thank you & all the other contributors to this thread and hope you all will forgive us newcomers and continue to share your knowledge and expertise. It is very much appreciated,

Never mind

I don't think I've seen either one before. They are both kinda cool especially the VW!

I think you made the right choice of wheels.They look much better than the dog dishes. I really like the way the trunk turned out, btw. Did you decide against the beehive filter or just removed it while you worked on the body mods?

Very nice, especially the finish on the bed.

Thanks, Tony! Maybe others looking at this thread will express an interest, too. BTW the wheels look great!

This fruit looks great. Do you have to have a friend in France to get these? I'm French friendless

This is a good looking & very interesting build. I don't think I've ever seen a "sling shot" powered by a 6, but then when I was a kid I thought that if it wasn't a V8 it was junk & just blew them off. That is until I got a hold of a few slant 6 MoPars as well as reading about early salt flat racers. Just out of curiosity, was this a common occurrence in drag racing?

The wheel's looking good. Looks like you found a better maroon, too.
