Nicely done. I would be proud to have it on display.

A Winter beater. Way cool. Snow tires are a nice touch.

That turned out very nice. Did the dog dish wheels come with the kit?

Acknowledged. Thank you for replying.

I feel sorry for you. I live in Salem, Oregon. I frequently take my car out to the back roads in my county yes 5-10 minutes away from my house. No, traffic, twisty with lots of hills with farms and forest. Heck, I can even exceed triple digits in many of the farming areas in the valley.

Any hope in wishing for an A/C compressor on the passenger side?

Same age. Similar routine. If I was not happily married I could retire now. However, aging women are expensive. So I shall keep on working. I like the challenge.

That depends on the year. The Cobra had more to do with the drivetrain package while the Talladega was the aero modified verson.

Very cool.

I have never played the sim. There was a fellow on another model forum that was a prolific model builder. Once he started playing the truck sim, he faded away from building quite quickly. It may be addicting. I don't know.

I got to take out my StreetMachine today. Spent 11 vacation days, in early November, upgrading and fixing minor things after pulling the dash out of the car. When I put it back in, the car was functional but had a couple of minor tasks to accomplish and some gremlins to chase out. Took care of all of that yesterday. Took it out for both a drive and a (loud) stereo jam session. My new GlowShift gauges work great and I tuned the 9 speaker sound system very precisely via my DSP (Digital Signal Processor). With you eyes closed, you could swear you were listening to a live act without the smell of beer.

Well done I like the "Cats" in the exhaust.

I like the differentness (is that word?) of the intake set up. I would buy it for that alone. If you work at it long enough you can sand away the vinyl top. I did that when I made my Hot Wheels '68 El Camino which was a total parts box build.

I frequently get zip lock bags of various sizes from work that were used to hold repair parts. After masking the area with tape. I tape the bag around to keep overspray from sneaking into places I do not want it.

Detailing wheels is one my favorite tasks. I usually use panel liner though sometimes it requires multiple applications to get the desired effect. I have also painted the inserts of wheels by hand using enamels. I shake the bottle. and use a toothpick to apply the paint while using, the inside of, the freshly wetted bottle cap as my paint well.

I love the concept. Very creative.

Love the color.

Cool build. It has that moonshine runner look to it.

Way cool paint fade. NICE!

PM me I am open to offers. Do you have any big rig parts?

Cool build. I have the 1985 Testors/HSO reissue with the cast pot metal rims to get to eventually.

The Monte Carlo has been traded off.

Very impressive. You are doing things that I would not even attempt.

I have one of these to tackle for a drag racer in the not to distant future. Following.

I built a couple of 72's awhile back. I am curious as to your 71 back dating. Following.
