Nice job! Great paint!!

Last year our house was struck by lightning. Fortunately damage was limited to most appliances and the furnace. The heater's motherboard had to be replaced and the technician ordered a new part. While in the garage he saw my workbench and mentioned he was a nut. On weekends he drives a midget race car. When he returned to install the motherboard this Super Duty kit was under his arm. It had been given to him a couple of years ago. But, he was so busy he was sure he'd never get around to building it. My thanks go out to him and to Mother Nature. I hope I did it justice! I was going for a nostalgic Super Stock drag racer with a 60-year-old paint job and that "rode hard and put away a wet" look.

I don't think model making could get any better. Great job!

Very cool. Life before aerodynamics! Like pushing bricks through the air. Always loved mid-60s Mopars. Nice rendition. Well done!

Nice save! Great job!!

Where are the keys? I want to take this baby for a spin. Amazing outstanding realism. Great job!

Nice job. Brings back memories of going to my first drag race and seeing Dyno Don in Eliminator I.

Cool Henry J...great job!

Nasty...as in nasty cool! Well done!

Nice job!

Love it! Your cool ride and I are the same age...but it looks better and probably feels younger than I do...!

It was worth the wait...nice job! Love the paint job!!!

Nice! Well done!!!

Thanks Tim. Purchased seat belts thru ETSY for about $12. See image below. They came all the way from France in about two weeks. They were a little easier to work with than other PE sets I've tried. I like them. I primed and painted the green vinyl stock Tamiya Brilliant Orange (TS-56) to match the brakes and front spoilers. Steve

Looking for a change of pace from my usual dragster model projects I decided to build a Supercar. Tamiya’s McLaren Senna is incredible. The kit is by far the best engineered, most accurately molded, and complete build I’ve ever attempted. I wish the engine cover and doors opened, but the assembly is far too delicate for me to attempt surgery. But I couldn't resist adding a few aero tweaks and personalize placement of a few decals. Thanks for looking….

Thank you CT

Nice save! Very cool alterations and additions!!!!

Very cool Claude. Love the "slammed" look and the freehand paint scheme feature! In 1970 I bought a beater '65 VW Bus from a neighbor's dad. With paneling left over from my parent's basement upgrade, and help from my dad, we put a bed and drawers in back. My mom made curtains and I put blue "bottle" pattern plex in the side windows for a little privacy. Then added bigger wheels/tires on the rears, a $59.95 Earl Scheib special electric blue paint job, and sprayed black automotive paint through lace pattern material around the raised belt-line all the way around and around the VW emblem on the front. We had been living in Florida, until my dad got transferred back to St. Louis. Since you can't surf in the Mississippi I had to get back to the beach for High School summer breaks. I tried to replicate all little details of what it looked like inside after living in it for about three weeks a couple of summers. The surfboards are exact copies of my two favorites that I had at the time. Surf's up...gotta go! Stay warm...spring is just around thew corner

Beer and VW's go hand in hand...cheers!

Very cool. Where did you get them wheels...?

Nice surprise...and excellent work! Well done!!!!
