clean and simple...just how a drag car should be haha NICE WORK

ahh ok, thank you. I have a set from the 65 Riv.

I always liked those era Olds. Beautifully built, whos wire wheels?

thats what stopped me as well for now. Its on my "must own someday" list. I have to get my diesel back together before winter so no more model money haha

after seeing this, I almost went and bought one to build...

needs a bigger set! haha

i vote turbos too haha

my favorite era of drag cars!

someone take away his modeling card!!! haha Theyre too expensive to not keep extra stuff Some great advice guys!!! Thanks

thanks Alan! thats exactly what Im working on this weekend. Ive gone through all my kits and returned them to "box stock" so I dont have to search. Then I went through ALL my parts Ive acquired through the years...I weeded out roughly 10 model boxes worth of stuff. Next step is to do like you said and organize everything from there. I dont have the time to hunt for stuff anymore, bench time is very limited

i definitely need to get a few of these this time. I only got one the firat time

Should have weighed it before you started drilling haha. Looks awesome

has anyone attempted that swap? I have a 57-61 AMT ford long pick up onto the Moebius 70 4 wheel drive frame? I love them low, but Ive always wanted a 4wd one in "real life" Anyone have photos or know of threads?

I LOVE 60s era/ styled drag coupes

thats exactly what Im trying to stop haha. When I get a few minutes, Ill post a photo of some small "tins" I use as well

so I found a person selling 24 drawer unit today and in a rush she gave me the wrong one. it was sealed in the box. I was also in a rush, so I didnt even check. she apologized numerous times when I contacted her, but I made out as I got an even better deal than I was expecting. If the small drawers dont work out, Ill do something else but for what I paid, i cant complain. the rest of my weekend...I could complain for hours haha

im not sure this will work on 1:25 scale, but on some of the tonka restoration videos, the restorer sprays paint onto a flat surface and "dips" the tire into the wet paint. NOTE: I HAVE NOT attempted this technique in any scale so IDK if it will work.

those style boxes were my first thought since theyre stackable. I try to buy US made stuff whenever possible but Ive heard a lot of good reviews on them. May have to bring some of my bigger parts with me and see how they fit haha

thanks Craig!

I know youre making it your own, and Im not a big preservationist but BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH did it look good on the cragars and slicks with the weathered body

thanks Josh, heading over there now

Hey guys, I searched but didnt come up with anything, also please move if necessary... Im looking to get super organized with my loose parts. I want to separate everything into categories. In the past, I used the clear small "tackle" boxes, but now that Ive amassed some peoples collections etc, I need to rethink how I do this. Throwing stuff in empty model boxes isnt working anymore, esp now that Im trying to use up some of these parts Ive collected. As I separate, Im also going to be trading off/selling the stuff I dont want, that should help So, what are you guys using for containers? Thanks in advance, and if there are other threads you know of, please let me know and Ill delete this one

looks amazing!!!

I LOVE drag boats (V, or Jet,idc.... I own a 71 Bayon outboard as well)... you knocked it out of the park!

THANKS Mark! Ive been thinkingnabout finding one and building a pro touring Buick Regal out of it.
