Thanks Luke! CT

but he's late

just about completed

his lab, tinkering

Thank you Sir! As much as I would like to claim it to be "my idea", the exhausts are box-stock, only cleaned of molding joints and chromed with Revell's spray chrome. I just added the tailpipe extensions that extend trough the roll-pan. Then installed with utmost precautions to not mar the chrome. So, I guess I will forward your compliments about them to the late, great Boyd Coddington! CT

just too bad

As always, thank you Carl! CT

Thanks Brian. Mostly, it was fun! CT

all vintage OOP's

Thanks Bill! CT

Hi! At a recent show, a good friend won Revell's Foose 65 Impala as a door prize. He gave it to me because he only builds large scale race cars. "Do something with it" he ordered. So... Happens the wheelbase matches exactly the Testor's full detail Chezoom chassis. I reworked the front & rear suspensions to get the stance I wanted, scratchbuilt an interior, roll bar, rear speakers, firewall, hood hinge, radiator panel, steering shaft, etc. and used AMT's Jag XK-220 seats, and locally sourced 3D printed rolling stock. Cut the front bumber to keep only outside sections, shaved the trim, and molded the rear with a scratchbuilt roll-pan & flush-fit full-width stoplight. AK's off-white lacquer with Tamya's pearl clear + Mr. Hobby Premium Top Coat clear. Custom mixed lacquer green for the interior and chassis. Revell's spray chrome + Molotow's accents. Hours of fun with styrene! CT

Hi Steve! Thanks for the comments. Coming from a veteran of the Salt, it's meaningful to me. And I would not dare built the next salt car without having a look at the rule book you provided me: one of the most useful gifts I ever received. Now, back to the bench! CT
