First, since you are an older brother in service, thank you for yours. Next thanks for the picture they were actually hard to find when I built this car. This helps confirm I went the right way on some things I did with the build like going with the butler seat instead of the kit version.

Nothing special, we have all seen it before. It is the best looking car in the movie though?. Box stock except for the side window which had a tire sitting on it for too long. That was replaced with a piece of blister pack stock. Monogram Lumina, Tamiya paint and Mike's decals.

Thank you Sir. I should have been more specific in my description. This particular car was built within the past year. I tried to build another of these Peak cars back in 91ish that was atrocious.

Thank you Sir.

Thank you Sir.

That's awesome, especially with that kit. Wish I was alive to have seen them actually race. My dad tells me of when he used to race sprint cars against winged supers in exhibition races.

Thank you. This might be the pinnacle of my abilities thus far.

Thank you Sir.

Thank you. If I had not found Patto's decals, I don't think I could have made this work. I lack the skills to competently make my own decals and of course custom stuff is expensive. Luckily there are some makers that already have different sizes made up so I just ordered several sets in different scales and piecemealed them together. There are some detractors of his particular decals, but the only issues that i had was that they will only accept the Tamiya mark fit to get them to snuggle and they will only accept floor polish for a top coat. Anything else and they will wrinkle without smoothing back out.

Thank you Sir.

Thank you Sir. Happy to be here. Good to build again.

Yes sir. I had viewed a few posts that this was the case and I guess those folks were responding as people were posting to them. Thank you for squaring me away.

??

Yes Sir. I guess I just had an unrealistic expectation due to seeing other posts where it appeared that peoples responses were directly beneath the person they were responding to.

Well that brings up memories, some good, some eh. In short, great job.

Thank you. Who knows maybe he even brought it down under in the nascar off season.

Thank you. That is what I was asking and have been doing, but all my replies just bunch up at the bottom of the post.

So I am new to the whole forum thing. I don't have any social media pages and pretty much avoid online interaction. My question (a rather dumb one) is how do I respond directly to others in posts? I reply, but all of my replies get jumbled up at the bottom of the page and I don't want to offend anybody who might think that I am not responding to them. Please help a newbie out.

Very nice. I just nearly completed my first one of these. It is a fun kit.

Great job on this.

Very nice. Someday I might be this good, but probably not due to lack of time and patience.

Beautiful. and just a a salt flat car should be. No aerospace engineers or jet engines, mechanical excellence and raw horse power.

So my squirrel continues to run on his wheel in my head and this is the latest DOT fantasy idea I came up with. If Cole Trickle started the trend of returning to outlaws (or other sprint car series) while still running cup. Of course the sponsor came with him (and exxon due to driving for Rowdy Burns) and I kept Hendrick on the car as well. Revell Sammy Swindell Channellock kit, Patto's decals, Tamiya paint throughout. Added helmet visor, tearoffs, safety harness and Lambo staps, wiring and plumbing (which I need to work on and get better at or quit being cheap and just buy the right stuff to do it ) and changed the suspension geometry, along with the driver (Got the information to do this from and old SAE or MCM article that I found on the net.) and painted the tires to give it the battle stance, finally I made it look the way all dirt cars should.

Thank you. I always thought the livery would look great on a Camaro considering how good it looked on a Lumina and a Grand Prix. I have always thought TA was a very underrated series to boot. So instead of just building another Hot Wheels, Rain X or Sunoco car, why not. Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.
