Tasty!!

Very accurate to the real one. Yours just needs snow to be complete. Well done, Sir!

I like the execution of the Viper kart - don't know if there would be anyone brave enough to hack a real Viper, but for the dime a dozen Viper kits, makes perfect sense! Now about that LEE Greenwood Corvette? I knew he did country music, didn't know he drove.

That Porsche looks very familiar.

Looks like a Barris/Roth tribute year. Great builds all of them. I'm a big fan of the Hirohata Merc and anything Sam built. I always felt he was a much better builder than George, his style was so much more refined and timeless.

Now that's some NASCAR I can enjoy! Loved it when stock car racing actually looked like stock cars racing! Deuces are nice too. Great builds.

Wow, you absolutely nailed the color!

I like your comparo shots. Mini truck comparison, wagon comparison and Ford generation comparison. Very clever!

Box stock or not, they all came out great! Very productive, but also clean builds.

Love them all! My favs are the Austin Healy and the Porsche. I like unusual rides!

Was this your inspiration? Cause, you've nailed it!

Did they actually SLEEP in them in the 70s? Good call not using the brown carpet - scales too big! However, I question blue terry with orange paint scheme, maybe a brown towel? Do you or Casey have any idea where those wheels came from? I'd like to use a set like them on my van. Perfect 70s era!

My Pappy said "Son you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln!"

They could, it's the super stones kit with monster truck parts added. Not really accurate, but fun nonetheless. Probably end up as a $40+ retail price. This is a heavy kit!

Too skinny, too short and too open to sleep in. Unless the driver is 4'7", 98lbs and used to sleeping in daylight.

Looks like it's got nice 327 valve covers, but I don't think the 327 was available until 65. Does it also have 283 covers? Whats up with picture #19? Did they mold the bucket seats OVER the sprue frame? How did they do that?! Or is it just an optical illusion? Flys Eye air cleaner looks useful! Yes, whitewall tires should be included in a car like this. Black walls were so base-model! Over all, it looks like a fun kit, I can think of a lot of great possibilities!

That one also ended up in the 69 Chevy annual. Very unusual shell, I've never seen a real one -- yet. Casey, this is a great thread. Can you please replace the lost pictures to complete the history?

Thank you! ?

Well, if a model of "Cup O Noodles" is deemed sales worthy, then I guess a model of an Aston Martin is viewed as too obscure.

Garage power tools are not considered machine shop, sir. I'm sure there are many of us on this forum who do take the time to build other things around the house besides models!

Can anyone help me figure out how to navigate their forum? Many times, while searching online images, I'll come across pictures from there that I would like to read about, but when I click on them, it only opens to their main page and I would have to find the topic that contains the image I want to see, which is very random. I've been unsuccessful so far, so maybe there is a trick that I don't know about.

What about craft sheets of velvet or old 80s Ocean Pacific shirts, when velour was all the rage?

How about a fine tooth circular blade on a miter or chop saw with a scrap wood backing, or sandwich the metal between two pieces of scrap wood and chop down. Maybe a sanding disk on a hand held cutoff saw? Quick downward cut with small sawblade teeth to avoid grabbing the material.
