Welcome back. We look forward to seeing your builds.

Great job on the roof and the decals. ?

Beautiful paint and detailing. Your choice of background and photography is well done. It would look real except the all one finish rims let it down. Overall excellent result. Here is a pic of Rally IIs sans trim rings.

Now that I am down to 4 stalled builds, I took the opportunity to pause and organize my bench. I found a few low cost desk organizing items online and cleaned up my bench. I moved the PC which has not even been turned for couple of years to the attic. I even pulled out everything in my display case to dust and reorganize it as well. It is nice to not have piles of dust all over my bench. I also found some items that have gone missing for awhile.

You sir are a top notch artist and engineer. I am always inspired by what you show us can be done when putting forth the effort.

I like it. Did mother Mopar paint their steelies body color back in the day?

Very nice! Copper BMF... Hmmm...

Sweet El Co. Still working on mine slowly.

The gloss, the colors, the stance... SaWEET!

Yep, that one is nice. I would not kick it out of the garage even if it is a Chevy.

Thank you for your efforts to keep this forum clean. I for one, greatly appreciate it.

Thank you Ken.

Thank you Larry. Thank you Brian

Gorgeous Chargers. For the dust, I use one of my wife's discarded make up brushes and (breath) blowing as I dust it.

Thank you Chris. Thank you David. I tried to get the details right. Thank you JC. Thank you Kerry. Thank you Mario. I had visions of pairing them together early on. Thank you Phillip. Thank you Lucas.

Congratz on a job well done.

I like this. I may have to get me one.

Very impressive. I fortunately didn't have to move but I still didn't get nearly as much done under similar circumstances.

Very well executed. That exhaust system is crazy. Headers without 4 into 1 collector, a single pipe, then a muffler to warm up the gas tank. That is some weird engineering. Nice job though.

Thanks Jeff. I am still debating what is next on the agenda to build. I have not decided if I will tackle my two Superbirds or batch build something else. Than you Dan. Thank you Doug. Fortunately it fits in my display cabinet.

Thank you Jeff.

This one is done and submitted under Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment.

I finished my AMT Great Dane extendable flatbed trailer. I had a break in the weather and took it outside for some pics. Some mods were done to it to customize it. The front bulkhead is held in place with hidden magnets allowing its removal. A deck extension was scratch built to increase the length of the deck for larger loads. A tag axle was added to improve the GVWR. A rear "Oversized Load" placard was scratch built since the decal was included in the kit. It is being pulled by my Freightliner DD day cab I finished last year. It will eventually be loaded up with Plymouth Superbirds and Dodge Daytonas. (I have to build them first) Comments welcome.

I am in. I succeeded in 2020 but failed in 2021 (too ambitious of a project). However, I have plenty of subjects purchased the last couple of years to let me get SOMETHING to contribute. Sign me up.

I agree completely. I used to have 5 (give or take) car magazine subscriptions hitting my mail box for years. Now I only have two left. Hot Rod and Hemmings Muscle Machines. Other magazine reviews of cup holders in the latest generic mini-SUV or the latest $250,000 exotic have no interest to me. I have found my solution though. I have saved all my car magazines in boxes since the late 80's. I just cracked a couple of them open and now sprinkle them in to my reading rack. Is the info dated? Sure. Do I remember reading the articles I read 30 years ago? Nope. The cars are still pretty cool and best of all they are FREE. I now have another 30 years of (recycled) magazines to enjoy.
