Hey John where do you find these bizarre cars? looks like your having fun with tis one. I really enjoy watching how you play with plastic. lookin' forward to seeing you and your "children" in Santa Clara next month.

Hey Scott, ya gonna make it up north this year? Lookin' forward to seeing and talking to ya...!

Looks like you're having' fun Sir Bernard! I like it! c'ya in a couple...

Art, the Tony A-Z car won't make it to the NNL West. I gave the car to Tony in August at the historic auto races at Laguna Seca.

Thanx for the update. I tried to get it close using the Studio27 decals, not a lot of photos available at the time I built the model. I no longer have the model, sold it on eBay awhile back. Beautiful car...

Hung out with Raul today and he told me you playing with rust. I like it looking' forward to seeing' it in March.

Excellent work, Art!!! looking forward to seeing this at the NNL West in March. having fun with the lathe, heh!

Thanx Yes, you can build the model without the wood trim. This kit offers the modeler many options for building.

Thanx The visor is included in the kit

Went by the Local Hobby Shop and spotted the 1/25th scale Galaxie Limited 1947 Chevrolet Country Club Aerosedan plastic model kit. The image of the Hot Rod version on the box top caught my fancy, so I bought the kit (it isn''t cheap! - $41.00+). This is my first experience of building one of the Galaxie Limited plastic model kits. I was very pleased with the detail in the kit and how little cleanup was needed. The parts also fit quite well. I built the model fairly true to "Box Stock" with a few variations. I threw in some plug wires and fuel lines, plus replaced the tires. The tires in the kit just seemed to be too small for the look I wanted. Here's a few photos of the built model: thanx for looking'

thanx Hossain looking forward to seeing you in March

Here's the thread I posted on building the Phantom Fleetside I'm also working on writing an article on the truck for the Model Cars Magazine http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/104110-bitchnrides-50-phantom-fleetside/

I get it at ACE hardware.

Thanx...All are 1/20th except for the Ferrari 2002 (#2) that is 1/12th from Revell

Formula One Honor Role...

Here we go...

Krylon still makes this paint...my favorite as well. It looks like this now:

I had a gentleman send me this kit to build for him. My first adventure into the world of Revell's 1/12th scale models. The body comes pre-painted, but that would not last long. The body sections in the kit do not match the real car. This involved stripping the paint and join the body panels, fill the seams and primer the whole thing. Luckily the cockpit fit in the body after painting. Also the rear engine bonnet did not fit very well. It took a little bit of filing and fitting to get it close to fit properly. The faint of heart will best advised to stay clear of this kit. Please note the Marlboro decals and seat belts are aftermarket items. Here are photos of the kit and the finished model. Thanx for lookin'...

I'll be coming down to join in the fun. Model cars, golf and seeing mom...perfect way to spend a few April days in Arizona

Hey Buddy This is gonna be fun. I picked up this model recently, don't know why...but had a hankering to build one. I liked the channeled version, but it sure didn't looked "channeled" plus the instructions (I know) are a wee bit confusing. Enjoying the input so far, hope to build one of these soon c'ya

thanx Gary Bruce here's a photo of the minilite I sent Gary. I do not know what kit I made the mold from.

Well here ya go... replmincomd@aol.com

Try emailing Norm, he's been real busy lately. He responds to his emails better than his phone. goodluck

Magnifico! ya can almost smell the gas and oil thru the picture...

Is this what you are looking for?, they scale out to 15" in 1/24th scale. I don't remember what kit I got them from, but I'm always making molds of wheels, etc. If you want a set of these, just PM your address and I'll send them to ya.
