  1. Sir, I have 2 of these kits..I recently purchase an Atlantis qkit..You did an excellent job on your build..Really nice build on a HOF car and driver..Job well done.
  2. Mike, really nice couple of builds here..I haven't done any of these AWB cars yet, but xou might make me change my mind and build a couple..Btw, where did you get all of these magazine covers to build your collection? Again great job on them both.
  3. Zippi, Thank you sir for the kind words..I love your YouTube channel and I'm a subscriber..I love and comment on the builds you present on your channel..That black 53 Bel Air restomod is F-ing phenomenal my friend!!!
  4. DanL...Thank you for the kind words..It took me at least 3 months to get them somewhat presentable..
  5. Mike 1017...I will put that in the memory bank for when build the Sox & Martin 68 Barracuda..Thanks for the tip
  6. Mike, those stripes almost made me just give up until I gave it 1 more shot..Give it another shot my friend. I agree with you I wish Slixx would add the Road Runner decals to the Duster, Cuda sheet
  7. Hello forum I started out trying to find a 69 Road Runner, but was out of luck..I bought the 69 GTX Pro Street kit instead..Before anyone blows a gasket about Sox & Martin didn't run a 69 GTX.. They did use the 69 GTX(A Super Stock car) as part of their Plymouth Supercar clinic program.The program toured the country showcasing the teams race cars, promoting performance and the latest performance vehicles from Plymouth..Though the GTX was used for display purposes it also was used for some racing.. This car gave me hell painting the stripes..I painted the body stripes 3 times & the hood 4 times..I used an old set of decals from the 67 GTX..The top half on the engine is from the Hemi Dart..Aftermarket/hood scoop wheels from Iceman's Collections..Paint was Testers Dark Blue, Tamiya TS-26 Pure White and PS-34 Bright Red..This is MY VERSION of a Sox & Martin Super Stock 69 GTX. To me, this what modeling is all about. Take what is in your head and transfer it to a model..After all the hell it sent me through, I like it. Enjoy and comment
  8. Mikey, I have looked and tried to get this Kandy Brandywine from so many places and always come up short...So when I was building my WJ Vega, I searched on Ebay and found the guys I posted earlier..I know it's expensive, but I figured I could at least 2 1/2 models out of it..So it was worth it and it's real automatic paint.
  9. I know...It's MY VERSION..It's what I want to call it that because IT'S MY 69 GTX BUILD..
  10. I'm building a 69 Sox & Martin Super Stock GTX..There are no pics that I can find of the engine so I'm going with a hemi with the side by side carb setup..I haven't found alot of pictures that represent this car.
  11. If you look on the back of the Slixx decals it calls for a Candy Brandywine..It's the same color of his Vega..Yeah, I built that and the white 99 Firebird..I purchase a can from Ebay from staplesautopart cost $58.83 39.95 +shipping 14.40 Hahn Automotive Warehouse Inc. 1907 Boulevard, Colonial Heights Virginia 23834-2307
  12. Bro, you did WJ proud with this one..I'm a big WJ fan also..The detail and finish are on point..The stance is right on..I've built quite a few WJ cars to include both white cars(the plain white before he got GM Performance sponsorship) the AC Delco car, Blue GM Performance Olds and Firebird, both black Superman cars and Kurts 1st in the 6s car..I now have his black 83 Cutlass and 71 Camaro on the bench right now..Again WJ would be proud, but his quote would be "The car was a tool that I used to accomplish the goal that I set out!!!" If you're going to do anymore WJ builds get his book Drag Racing's Warren THE PROFESSOR Johnson.
  13. Thanks sir...I took the dimension from the Butch Leal Duster I built on the forum..Plus I still have the decal sheet with picture of his car.
  14. Thank you Mike..Becky sent me email confirming what you said. The seller was staplesautoparts on Ebay Hahn Automotive Warehouse Inc.. 1907 Boulevard, Colonial Heights, Virginia 23834-2307 Cost was $58.83..$39.95 for the paint $14.40 for shipping and $4.48 shipping I have 3 Grumpy toy kits..I really want the hood scoop that Butch Leal ran on his 71 Pro Stock Duster..Warren just used the lump at the beginning of 71 because he was running without a scoop and NHRA made him put one on..He made one of out cardboard at the track until he fabbed the lump..If u have a Leal scoop that would be outstanding..If not, I just might make my own.
  15. I'm building the 1970 version of WJs Camaro..I bought a can of Kandy Berry Wine on ebay..Bought his book..I didn't know his Camaro had a 427 that put in to replace the 327 when he 1st started running Pro Stock..Gotta get the decals, rims and hood scoop from Slixx..Got two on the bench that I gotta finish before his..My Jegg Coughlin 67 bracket Nova and Mike Cotten's Super Stock 340 Cuda.
  16. Nice Barry Seltzer build Mike..You are the mistro of model car building..426 builds and more on the way is awesome..I've got my 70 Camaro on the bench right now..Mines is going to be Warren Johnson's car..He's my favorite Pro Stock racer..Again another great job on this build.
  17. Job well done Scott..I've seen this car many of times at Indy and Travis would honored about your representation of his car..That guy and his Dad Bucky are meticulous about their cars..Terry did an excellent job of doing the decals..He's my go to guy for decals..Again, job well done my friend.
  18. Nice build my..Welcome back to the modeling world..Sometimes it takes getting away from this to get your juices going again..The pandemic did it for me..I have this kit and didn't really think about it until I saw your build..You gave me some incentive to do something with mine..Again really nice job on your build.
  19. Very nicely done..I remember the 1st time I saw this car at Cordova Dragway in Moline Illinois..My brother who was in the Army as a Green Beret took me..I was 12 years old and could believe this car went down the track on two wheels..Bro, you hit out the part with this one.
  20. Thank you Steve..I really tried to get the stance right on this build..I didn't want the front end up in the air and I wanted it to look realistic..Your comments really hit home saying I got it right.
  21. Thanks Mikey...coming from you means the world to me..I consider you the archive of model history on this forum
  22. Thank you Dan..I really wanted to get the stance somewhat right on this one.
  23. They are custom made by Terry from STS Decals..The cost was $25.00..He has done quite a few including the Mike Cooten Super Stock Cuda..Those cost $30.00
  24. Good Afternoon Forum I just finished this build 2 days ago..Lately, I on a building Mopars thing..I have 4 more in different stages of completion..She's painted in Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue and TS-26 Pure White..I used the slicks from the Revell Pro Stock Cutlass..Shaved the inside wheels so they would fit..Put 1/8 block under the rear leaf spring to get the height I wanted..Scratch build a drive shaft, header collectors from brass..STS did the decals..Wired the engine and coil..There are some things I wish I did better, but I'm happy with it..Thankyou, comment and enjoy. Maurice
