What did you use for the wheelwell flares? They have the right shape. I've been wanting to do something similar with a Starsky and Hutch Torino conversion to a Cougar or an Elite, but I haven't figured out the wheelwells yet. Yours look just right.

I'm not offended by the flag, but I am OFFENDED by Coy and Vance (the second Duke boys). That's when the show "jumped the shark". Mark - BTW, if you're interested in trading, there are some things there that I wouldn't mind having. Pm me if you'd like.

Funny, that's the way we buy glue bombs on Ebay - so maybe it WOULD work! ?

Just to remind you where you can play with it afterward.

If Round 2 were to retool it back to a '72, they would only have to correct the front end, grille and bumper, the headlight pods on the hood and fill in the hole in the Sweat Hogs sunroof. The rest of the kit is still stock, including the interior, rear bumper, engine, chassis and wheels. And if they still had access to the solid Super Fly roof with the moonroof scribed into it - they could even issue it with the Hurst option (it was available with a moonroof). Making an interesting variation of the GP. I personally wouldn't mind if they left all the Super Fly paraphernalia and made the SF nose parts an option for the stock kit - that could make it a 3in1 kit without too much tooling outlay. Stock, Hurst and Super Fly versions. I'd buy 3 kits and make all of them! Oh yeah, and leave the Sweathogs in it, I could use more people with my cars.

I'd hate to miss a step in the middle of the night on these stairs, YIKES!

Great trades with mikemodelr and larman. Both guys shipped exactly what they promised and they arrived promtly and packed safe. Hope to trade with both of them again. Thanks guys!

I agree, a small business like this may not be around forever, and then, handmade models like this become unobtainium!

That's a fine stable of classic muscle you've got there. I looked up all your recent posts and they all look great! Keep showing us more.

I love a story with a happy ending!

This is revolutionary for the hobby! For the manufacturers, the aftermarket and the home hobbyists. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The paint doesn't know what car it's supposed to go on. If it looks like an original color, then it looks right! I say "it looks right!"

Use sheet plastic to add the chrome aero plates on the A pillars, just like the real Daytonas. It's an authentic detail and it would add strength to that weakened area to boot. I would also suggest adding the inner fenders to the front to strengthen that weak area above the wheelwells, before you paint and polish it - that area is very thin and will bend and crack, ruining all of your great bodywork.

To get that Daytona nose to fit, you would have to section out a wedge to slim the profile to match the car, but it would be slick! If you do decide to put the nose on, you could call the car "Stiletto.

That was one heck of a crash! Compare the 2 pics. Not only did the dents move around, but the rear wheelwells went back to stock, some chrome trim fell ON the car (see the side rear bumper), the front wheel fell off, the front bumper angle moved and the trunk CLOSED! Oh, yeah and the wheels changed too. Ah, the magic of miracle movie making.

Same kit!

Don't pay too much! I have purchased all three when they were readily available. These cars have just OK 1/24 scale proportions (Tbird is too big, Firebird is chopped and wide, Mustang is the best), no engines, have opening doors with rudimentary interiors, platform chassis and most of all PROVISIONS FOR MOTORIZATION! Very important when building an accurate scale model. Why, oh why do Japanese companies keep foisting this useless gimmick instead of just producing an accurate model.

"Ever fallen in love (with someone)" is a great song. Timeless! Is theirs the same version that was used on the soundtrack to Shrek 2?

I think he'll understand and love it anyway. Looks good, don't rush it!

Question. When it's dry, can this stuff be buffed for an even deeper reflction?

Looks good so far!

Can anybody help? I'd like to read the letter that this thread is talking about, but I don't have a sub to that magazine ( I haven't since the the current publisher bought it and ruined it!) Can anyone post a copy so I can understand the point of the frustration?

That was good! I never watched those shows back then, I thought the crypt keeper was just too hokey. But the episode was very "Twilight Zone" to me. I may have to catch more of them. Thanks for sharing.

They look good! Reminds me of when I was a kid, I always liked stamped steel vehicles as opposed to diecast or slush cast models. They were fun to bash up and play demolition derby with. I know, that's sad. But I promise, I don't do it anymore! Anyway - about these models. If he's making these by hand and selling them, they've got to be EXPENSIVE!! They are nice though.

I bought one sealed for $5 at a kit show some years back. I bought it because it was cheap and I remembered seeing it in the toy store as a kid. I didn't know it was "collectible"
