The way the market is now, you never know if the release will be short lived. The kits that come out that I want I grab when they are available. I would rather them sit in my model dungeon than become collectors items. A lot of revells kits have done that.

Looking good Jason, I need to pick another one of these up.

Looks amazing!! Mine just delivered today.

Been adding to my Johan kits as I come across them. Some on ebay for decent deals but those are far and few between now. I remember being able to buy them when I was kid. My Dad bought me the 60 Desoto adventurer. Finally found that one at a swap for $50.00 a few years ago. I will be building that very soon. No mods just the way it comes. Well I will use some AMT parts pack tires. My Dad paid $5.00 for the one when I was a kid.

I buy all my super glue at dollar tree now. The gel.

The front suspension is fighting me. Ride height. Will get it.

Sounds about right!! My hobby room was just that, now it is a 1/4 of my basement. 2 things I cannot pass on are good deals and new releases. When I'm on a building hiatus my buying does slow but deals and something I've always liked/wanted is released so I buy them.

Thanks Mark!! Ordering now. That aero coupe has been painted for 20 years or more now.

Roger your work is amazing!!

Very cool, I have been wanting to order the decals for it but Mikes is out of them. I have one all painted ready to go.

Been working on this the last week. Using PPP tires and wheels. Not patterned after any car just a fun project for a shelf model. Thinned the body from the inside and the used a lighter to bend/dent the panels and then foiled the outside panels. AMT 56 Ford.

Looking great. Skirts, if it were lower in stance. With the stance yours has without. My .02..........

Not bad. I was thinking a lot more. still pricy don't get me wrong. I have a lot of kits on the bucket list far less than that still.

I know they are pricy but what would all that hit for?

I've thought about it but never do it. While my office is locked when I'm not there the thought of them getting broke would really tick me off. housekeeping ect.

I will be watching this for sure. someone needs to make a new tool of one of these.

Not silly, that's the fun thing about model building is its expression it allows you. This forum inspires me, to think outside the box. Until I seen your thread my model was sitting on the shelf and now I'm forming a plan to move forward with it.

No, more of the newer vettes one fire engine and the red camaros.

I also have a 62 johan dart that was a glue bomb buy, might need to look that over. just the right amount of early 60's fugly mopar badness!! I love those old mopars. .

I have one in the stash, will use it someday with a different body is the plan. an odd ball early 60's Johan rambler is my plan. just need said rambler..........

The Westland Ollies had the 57 chevy cameo pickup yesterday. grabbed one.

?? My thoughts exactly.

Petty bar came later in the 80's I think. After the Daytona wreck.

I want to build this one. Looking back Bayne was prepared for Covid.................

Another thing I think fueled the gray chassis was all the teams that came along, gray was a more neutral color and I did see this on a nascar show back in the 90's when the teams would do their post race tear down and when checking the parts stress cracks in the metal were easier to spot with the light gray paint. After steam/pressure cleaning stress cracks would show rust.
