I think Roger Lindamood (of Color Me Gone fame) ran a 67 Charger. It was very popular on the match race circuit and was considered one of the prettiest cars to come out of the Midwest.

Dave, Gary, you guys have no idea how much I appreciate you posting these pictures!! Thank you!! I've been working on this model slowly (it seems most of my model progress goes at this speed!) and I hope to post some pictures of the body in the next few days. Thanks again!! Steve

Chris, I think the Blue on the left most closely represents the color of the car I've seen in most pictures. I also think the darker of the two burst panels is the most realistic of the two panels. You do amazing work sir. I can't wait to see how this all looks when it is finished. Steve

Great job!! Well done!

Very nice work! It looks good!

I'm watching this one. Beautiful work!!

I agree with the use of the 5 lb. bottle. It looks like with a little clean up the parts will look pretty good. It is truly a pleasure to watch this build! Thanks!!

I built this kit (pictures were posted on here some time ago) and it was a real bear kitty. Nothing seemed to fit right and I worked for days (weeks?) to get the stance right. IMO the decals were very poor. I ended up using a set of Slixx decals that I got from somewhere some time ago. Don't be too hard on yourself. I think yours turned out pretty well. Steve

Major Cool! Can't wait to see them cleaned up and primered!

I'm a retired engineer, and I've used 3D printers before, but I never even thought about using one to print model parts. DUH! Pretty cool how the parts turned out. It will be cool to see how they look when you can get some good pictures of them. I know some of the parts we used to get were okay, but they typically had a lot of pinholes in them, esp. on the rounded surfaces. Chris your work is spectacular, and I've really enjoyed following along on this build. Keep up the amazing work!

Great job! Congrats! Wonderful subject too.

VERY nice!!

GREAT!! Thanks Hondo/Jim! This shows me exactly what I needed to see!! Thank you, Thank you!

Thanks Niko!! Steve

Hi guys! I'm looking for a little help here. I recently got an old AMT Mustang II Funny Car kit. I'm trying to replicate the Larry Fullerton "Trojan Horse" Funny Car....the silver one. I've found a picture on Fotki: http://public.fotki.com/434499/drag-racing/funny-car-reference/trojanhorsemustii.html. In this picture it appears the front spoiler is blue, and I don't have a clue as to the top of the hood and the trunk. I can surmise that his earlier Mustang Funny Cars and this one had similar layouts, but I'd like to know for sure. Any help you guys can provide would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks Everyone!! Steve

Okay, the title is a little misleading. The models are 50 years old. I got started in this hobby with my Dad and because of some health issues I had as a 7-8 year old. If I was good during the visits to the Dr.'s office I got to go to SS Kresge's and get a toy. My dad and I built the Monogram Slingshot in the spring of 1963 and the Monogram Long John during the summer of 63. These poor models have endured 8 moves in 50 years and thankfully are still intact. The decals have all but dissolved, the plastic is cracked and brittle, but they keep hanging in there. So if you have ever wondered what those models you built years ago would look like..... Steve

GREAT work!! Outstanding detail.

Great work!

Exceptional work!! Very nice.

Just freaking unbelievably AMAZING!! Truly OUTSTANDING!!!!! Steve

Here are a pair of Tommy Grove Mustang Funny Cars. The 69 is a the new Polar Lights kit with a combination of some out of production Slixx decals and the kit decals. The chassis was painted with Testor's Blue Sapphire Metallic, and the body was painted with Testor's Arctic Blue Metallic. The 71/72 is a Johan kit with Slixx decals. The chassis was painted with Testor's Black Metallic, and the body was painted with Testor's Classic White. Both cars had some "work" done to the body and tin to get the stance down to what looked closer to accurate for the time period. Both were built basically box stock. I've got more pictures of both cars if anyone's interested.

Exceptional!! Great job!

Beautiful....just BEAUTIFUL!! As a separate comment, I agree with futurattraction, the brass would look better, IMO. Just my thought.

You say that " I know its not perfect" but if that work isn't, then perfect isn't possible. Simply outstanding sir!

Outstanding work sir. I have followed the build and they turned out fantastic. Great job! Steve
