  1. Should be a fun build, Art. Looking forward to seeing it.
  2. Thanks, Jason. I will keep that in mind.
  3. If I had a 65 Galaxy model, I would definitely be doing a 65 Ford. Those kits are very hard to find unless there was a new release lately that I did not hear about.
  4. Thanks, Bob, and so true about the carb. I guess I could put a coupler on the air cleaner to make it removable and clean up the carb a little to make it look presentable. But the manifold is way off.
  5. Air cleaner getting close to completion.
  6. Thanks, Rooster. I appreciate your interest as well.
  7. Thanks, Carl. I appreciate the kind feedback.
  8. Kit only comes with 3 duece set up or blower. Have to make an air cleaner.
  9. Stephen, great job on the finish. The red and blue really pop. The decals look excellently applied. This build is a winner top to bottom. your skills are to be proud of.
  10. Here is the 2023 Justin Marks Trans Am Camaro. You can see a lot of the next gen cup camaro in it.
  11. I will try to find that picture of the trams am Camaro. It does look a lot like the cup car, but the tires look bigger. Looking forward to your 63 Ford.
  12. Wow, great job on this. I wonder if the Trackhouse Trans Am Camaro that Justin Marks drives could be done like this one was?
  13. Thanks, Pierre. For some reason this model is taking forever to complete. Maybe I finally went over the hill and can't do these things anymore. Well, I'm not going to stop trying.
  14. Super nice model, Benny. Very clean build.
  15. Excellent job, Pat. Too bad Salvino's doesn't do the present-day truck series like they do the Next gen cars. I would definitely like to do one of those.
  16. Another beautiful job, Chuck. I know how hard this one must have been. The decals are not fun at all, but you did a great job again.
  17. Don't mean to hijack your thread but I just had to share this build from 51 years ago so everyone can get a good laugh over it. My wife has made me save it all these years and now I'm glad she did. Its the model I described in the thread above this one.
  18. I had this kit back in the day. A few years later I used the chassis as a donor for a Monte Carlo body and made a Bobby Allison 72 Monte Carlo. There were no aftermarket decals back then that I knew of so I painted the numbers and sponsors on the car. It really looked bad but I still have it. the wheel base was wrong too, so that made it look even worse. We sure have it a lot better today than back then.
  19. Month long trip to Europe. that must have been fantastic. I'm pretty sure I'm never going to get over there, but it would be fun to trace my roots back in Sweden. Gramps came from there back at the beginning of the 20th century. He settled in Joliet Illinois with grandma. He opened up a butcher shop and small grocery store. Axel Iver was his name. My only personal news is we finally replaced our 16 year old Chevy equinox Sport with a new car. We looked at Cadillac xt-4, Subaru Outback and Mazda cx-5. after driving and pricing them, Mazda won big over the other 2 in quality versus price. Plus, we had owned 3 Mazda's back in the ninety's, so we probably had a soft spot in our hearts for the Mazda. Its unbelievable how much has changed in 16 years in quality as far as ride , performance and just the overall feel of the vehicles. Good choice using the frame from the 60 on your build.
