I kick myself for not getting a lot of WhoopieKat decals. What ever happened to them they had great subject matter and high quality. Then one day they were just up and gone

It sits just right i really love that flathead I my opinion the rear wheels look even better than stock . The interior looks spot on the light brown looks like what came factory. Perfect choice of shifter and tach . The black on the grill really adds some pop . The only thing that I would do differently would be to add the towing tabs from amt’s 1962 belair super stock kit . As these cars were often flat towed to a local drag strip. You also might have to build a mildly customized 1960 f-100 to tow it. Job well executed my friend.

This one was built from Revell’s 1968 Firebird kit the slotted wheels came from Revell’s 1941 Willy’s gasser. The slicks are from AMT . The paint is the discontinued Testors color Honduras maroon . The decals are the long discontinued Fred Cady sheet. Super Stock magazine had some of the best cover shots and this one’s really unique as you don’t usually see a drag car on the beech . Until next time thanks for looking.? Mike

Absolutely!

Today’s progress I built the wood pick up bed and fitted the kits tauna cover to it. Also made the weight tube

It looks so fine I love the red paint on this body it’s just has that cool 60’s vibe. I just picked up one of these kits today at the hobby lobby to build as a super stocker

Go on line and check out pole cat decal’s he makes the Chrisman comet decals that you’re looking for plus a whole bunch of other great decals. I really like your build don’t sweat they small stuff it’s just a model that’s going to look great on your shelf.

I built this box stock when it came out about 11 years ago. As far as I remember it’s painted with Tamyia dark metallic blue. This issue of super stock magazine has a nice little article about the car with some good reference photos . I did use the headers from the polar lights barracuda funny car kit. This kit builds up into a great representation of a mustang funny car. It’s important to keep the frame real square when gluing it together. I highly recommend assembling the chassis before any paint. These are the kit decals and they look great and went on real nice. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike

That’s a cool concept, and I’m really impressed by the finish on the tin work with the revell spray chrome. I sure wish it wasn’t so expensive. All is well done that’s a pretty neat paint scheme . Very well executed.

I just got the daunting task of building the headers, and fabricating the fuel tank mount

The iconic AMT 1937 GASS MASTER CHEVY kit. Although I like the 40-41 Willy’s body better the 37 Chevy is my number 2 choice of gasser . I built this mostly from the 37 Chevy which I had robbed for the drag parts from. Not wanting to build a stocker or a custom with it. I combined it with the engine left over from the Moebius Chevy 2 gasser kit . The rear wheels are from the Amt 33 Willy’s. I sprayed it with good old testors enamel topped with a few coats of wet look clear. With out a set of decals I decided to just hand paint the door lettering. The stance is good looking with just the stock springs I did use a straight piece of aluminum tubing for the axle. It looks great from all angles until next time thanks for looking, Mike

You made that new demon kit look superb great color choice it looks spot on. I can’t wait to get my hands on this kit when all the hype Calms down and hopefully for a sane price

Nice super clean build and great job on building the suspension it all looks spot on just like it rolled out of Holdmen & Moody’s shop

They are so much fun I love all the old AMT trophy series kits. How cool would it be if round 2 would tool some completely new trophy series kits

It really looks great nice job on the wheel well mods.

It looks just amazing. I like your use of the black steel back wheels as they give a nice contrast. I have found that the tamyia bright red is a pretty close match for that shade of red.

That came out great. A Hudson six altered who would have thought.

The paint is mostly done I still have to mask and paint the head lights . It’s on its wheels with motor. No interior yetor

I built this from a mix between the MPC winged express and Batam blast kits. The Bantam kit supplied the small wing and injector hat . The front 12 spokes are comp resin the decals are slixx . I hand painted the white pin strips and are a little shaky. Until next time thanks for looking, Mike

That’s one killer build the unfinished welds , and the weathering look fantastic. You really captured the look. That’s a great idea and the just right mix of parts

It’s great to see that you built this rare and valuable old kit, and it came out great by the way. The colors look spot on. I have to wonder if round 2 will ever reissue this one

Some progress on the Dorricott & Sheehan Fiat . I found the blown Pontiac in the Mickey Thompson streamliner

I got the roll bar done and the body ready for paint. I had to cut the rear cross member out of the chassis . I will have to move it forward to get the right wheel base

Some progress

I totally agree the satin black finish the white headers the big slicks , and the nose down rake make for a nasty looking machine
