curt raitz

patience, Bernard...patience shoot in 4-6 weeks - ya can have another model built! lookin' good so far, keep on buildin' my friend!

Yah, what he said...

I think Andy was refering to this car: I was thinkin' of this car: anyway back to the CR4...

I concur...good stuff and ya don't have to clean the airbrush after using it

"Le Monstre"...now that would be one scary car in 1/24th and/or 1/25th scale

I see you're moving right along Paul...lookin' good will enjoy watching your progress with this model howz your dad doin'...do ya let him sniff some glue and/or paint once in awhile?

Seeing you build this kit brings back good memories of when I built this kit when it first came out. I picked up a "caddie engine" conversion for it as well, have no idea were from had to remove a lot of resin to make it fit I became a big fan of Briggs Cunningham and his race cars. Saw all of his cars at Laguna Seca (Monterey Historics) before they shipped 'em all to Florida good luck and I'll be watching your progress on this rare car

Yep, I seem to hang onto my '32 Fords, I've got a couple more in the planning stages I've tried to sell a few on eBay, but just doesn't seem to be a market for'em...weird, heh! I can make lunch on Monday or Tuesday next week...

Only difference is the Revell North American is cast in white plastic, other than that it's the same as Revell/Germany

quick build, very nice kit, everything fit Scalefinishes paint: Sepnag Blue for the body and Mugello Blue Pearl on the side-blades Thanx for lookin'

Inspiration came from a car featured in Rod & Custom Magazine... chopped windscreen and removed the top from the speedwagon used the Hemi from the 5-window 32 ford induction/exhaust provided by Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland wheels/tires from Revell's 36 Ford Convertible re-issue interior is Color by Boyd "Dusty Rose Pearl" covered with a Testors Semigloss clearcoat exterior is a homebrewed mixture of decanted Tamiya Spray paints, a lil' purple mixed with a lil' blue woodgrain is from the speedwagon decal sheet thanx for lookin'

Hey Clay...blood rushing anywhere is a good thing!

Very nice Ross enjoy seeing Formula One models show up on the forum there are a few of us here that build and post them thanx for sharing this one...

A little "woodie" know and then is not a bad thing coming along quite nicely...will we be seein' it this weekend (Goodguys in Pleasanton)?

Thank you PM on the way I just finished the model o'er the weekend, but it can wait for this decal

Looks like fun @ Sears Point, oops...I mean Infineon Raceway, heh Mike no expense held on the car number I see reminds me of a little Porsche 914 I autocrossed in the late 70's Are you going to the Good Guyz @ Pleasanton this weekend?

Little more progress... for lack of cockpit detail in conversion kit, decided to put a Mario Andretti driver figure in the car. almost done...just need to install front suspension, finish Mario's helmet, install engine/tranaxle/rear suspension and rear wing thanx for lookin'

I agree with Harry...using X-acto knife handle and blade works just fine, although I use a scalpel...the blade lasts a heck of a lot longer

Got the red painted, Tamiya X-7...close match to decal sheet IndyCal decals added and clearcoated (MM Ultra Gloss Clearcoat): back to the bench thanx for lookin'

Excellent thanx Peter makes one want to build a model of a Ricardo Patrese F1 ride...

forgot to add...Larry Henley from the "The Monterey Guyz"

That is an excellent kit and it has been around for quite awhile you can build numerous variations of trucks using this as a base kit I've built a stock and a modern street rod from this kit. most recent build was a 1954 chevy pickup using a resin conversion kit from SJS (no longer in business, dang!): good luck and have fun

thanx Bernard lookin better than what the kit has to offer I may have to get sum of these for my next hot rod project so they be a lil fragile, heh!

No, the decal sheet does not include the tiny little hood ornament "thing" I have not been able to get a close up photo of it...not easy finding pictures of these cars

No, I have to build this one myself! The reason your elves won't work with resin is due to their workers union: the Elves Model-building Union...EMU, does not permit them to work with resin. EMU considers resin not only a hazardous substance, it also causes elves to hallucinate... c;ya
