Thanks for your (and everyone’s) kind words. Answers to your questions below: Pinstriping was done by hand with a gold sharpie as was the gold trim items on the Drag-U-La Rear wheels and tires are original to both kits. Koach has different front tires but original wheels. Drag-U-La front wheels and tires are from a VW Scirocco kit. Attached a photo of the paint used on the Drag-U-La. Sprayed directly on the black plastic (i.e. no primer). A link to the Drag-U-La is below if you’re interested in seeing more photos. Thanks again for the kind words let me know if you have any other questions.

Got this one used online some time back. Not a glue bomb but had definitely been gone through. Only had half of the door steps and hood handles. So after seeing a few other non traditional builds online decided to lower it down making the missing parts unneeded. Thanks for looking.

My version of the Hardcastle and McCormick Coyote X. Started as a mostly assembled Glue Bomb, disassembled, lots of fine tuning, and ended up here. If you need a challenge in your life, I recommend tackling this kit. Saw it described within the forum as "unbuildable". While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, getting it together is no small accomplishment. As always thanks for looking.

Thanks! Hood Scoop is from a C3 Corvette. Bought the hood off eBay as an individual piece. Cut a hole in the original Camaro hood and fitted the L88 portion inside.

81 Camaro Snap Kit Revell tried to pass off as a Skill Level 4. Not a bad kit as long as you go into it knowing what to expect. As always thanks for looking.

Thank you for the great compliment! When I got back into the hobby a few years ago, never thought I would be the guy who inspires others. In a world that sometimes feels overrun with noise and negativity, I'm glad to be one of the folks (there are many out there if you look) adding something positive. -

Classic Toyota Celica Funny Car

Thanks for the background and classic pictures. Not sure I’ll ever have the modeling skills to pull something like that off. Only one way to find out I guess…
