    I think it is almost always more fun haha Thank you! Ive done my best in the last few years to fully organize stuff. Its hard because Im restoring a house, and my 3 buildings (shop, barn and garage) constantly moving things around etc but so far Ive been fairly successful.

    decided to sit down and pull some stuff out of my hot rod boxes. the blue pick up is an old Lindberg survivor, the 3 window and 4 door are Drag City Castings, the Vicky is an unknown resin. ill eventually finish the chop on the pick up and 5 window. as you can see I'm mainly into 60s era drag Inspired stuff (the plan isn't a set of billets on the 4 door) idk when I'll get back on these due to life BUT I have all the kits and parts needed between my kits and parts boxes.

    still made the same way, on the same lathe and in the same building. I went into a deep dive a long time ago due to my early drag racing, land speed and hot rod roots. Present day I do some work for a company using steel spinnings, and the company I work for FT does tanks for the military out of stainless spinnings. All done the same way Moon makes their spun aluminum parts, their gas tanks included

    they actually are spun on a lathe and formed which is what gives it the radial finish. Dean Moon got the idea to produce them after he made a set off a maytag washing machine lid (no joke)

    I had started doing an altered wheelbase 62 as well back when they first came out and I dont remember where it went. I wonder if thats why one of my kits is missing its body haha

    I didn't know what the title meant (I'm a car guy) so I opened up the thread and I'm glad I did! AWESOME work! as others have said, the weathering Looks amazing.

    I ended up with a few of these as well, all missing parts.. I restored one to box stock, and am turning one into a mid 60s era drag car. The left over motors may become a land speed car project. The wheels and tires are going on a 57 Chevy custom I'm building. ANYWAYS....I LOVE what you did with yours!!!!
