Really nice looking T-bird..The color is beautiful and detail, fit & finish are outstanding..Sir, you knocked it out the park!!!

What a beautiful paint job..Bro your 57 paint stand out really good..This is one of the best 57 Chevy Funny Cars builds I have ever seen..You should pat yourself on the back for this one..Outstanding job my friend.

I think it's 1/24 scale because I have this die cast plus 3 other Don Schumacher Funny Cars that Whit Bazmore drove for him..The detail is the same on all my die cast..I have about 40 Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stocks in my collect..My good friend and fellow Air Force veteran Fast Jack Beckman drove for Schumacher and now is driving John Force's car.

Thank you sir, very frustrating.

I used the Dart because, I wanted that old school look of the leaf springs setup that the 60/70 Super Stocks & Pro Stocks had.

Thanks for the tip M W..I was frustrated as hell with those decals..There was a problem with all of them. I always use hot water because that's what my older brother taught me..On the 3rd set, I tried using the roof decal and it disintegrated on me, so I painted the hood.

I don't know what your looking at, but the wheel is not on backwards..

Good Afternoon Forum Here are two of my latest builds 1st up is the Leal car Started with the AMC Duster..Back halfed it with Hemi Dart rear frame..It has Texas 3D custom Hemi..3 sets of Slixx decals..When I say these decals were the death of this build, that would be an understatement..They just kept breaking on me as soon as I put them in water..Aftermarket hood and Fenton wheels..I did paint it Poppy Seed Red in which I bought a can on ebay..This build fought me every step of the way and I was just go really tired of dealing with it..It's not my best work, but I'm ok with that. This car almost got sent flying through the house to become pieces Billy the Kid I had a 72 resin demon, but it was warped beyond repair..So I got a 71 kit and made the best of it..I took the hemi from the 76 Dart kit, added the Slixx decals and here you go. The decals on this kit were not as bad, problems still. Aftermarket Fenton rear wheels and fronts came from the parts box..The hood scoop is from the 67 Chevelle and my left thumb is still numb as hell!!!

M W, you are so right about Slixx..I'm currently building my version of the Butch Leal Duster..I've gone through 3 sets of decals from Slixx because they just come apart in water.. I hope to have my build for the forum to see in the next couple of days. Btw, your build turned out really good..I would've never thought to use the tunnel ram from 66 Nova.

Dave, Welcome to the forum..The color on this Nova is outstanding..I think you did an outstanding job of coming up the scheme of the build..Very nice job my friend.

Zippi, that color is truly a 70's gasser look..Man it's beautiful..Stance is perfect and that engine stands out..Outstanding job my friend. Btw, I notice you were in the Air Force and from Illinois? I is so, I'm retired AF and from Chicago.

Nice looking build..I happen to know David Reher very good..He built a 784 cubic inch Nitrous motor for the race team I'm with Top Sportsman Camaro..He would be very proud of your rendering of their car..I built a model of it a couple of years ago and like it.

Scott, your Duster looks really good..I was planning on doing Reids car myself..Once I finish my Butch Leal Duster, it will be one of my new projects..That hemi engine of yours looks freakin outstanding..What color of gold did you paint yours?

Hey Scott, Really nice build on this one..I'm have one on bench right now I'm building..It's the Billy the Kid demon..I had a 72 from Competition Resins but it was warped as hell..So when this 71 Demon kit came out, I'm using it..That Hemi in yours looks freakin crazy, but accurate because they used 2 spark plug per cylinder as McCandless said in his YouTube video..Another great build my friend...Maurice

Sir, your build is sick as hell!!! One of the best builds I have ever seen..The detail is phenomenal..Pat yourself on the back about this one..I hope you take it to model shows, because this is definitely a best of show award winner!!

Thank you sir for asking about my thumb..It's still numb..The Duster has been giving me fits..I need to put the engine together and install the rest of the decals. Chassis and interior are done..

Nice looking Poncho my friend..I haven't seen many on this forum and now we 2 of them back 2 back..I love the wheels..I don't know about you, but I can't do the steelies wheels on a model..Job well done.

Thanks Zippi

Thank you sir, I like them too

Good Evening forum Here are my latest creations.. I got the 62 Pontiac at a model car show that was missing some parts..Mainly the instruction sheet, but found them on the old internet..She's painted Testers Artic Blue Metallic with a gray base..The wheels came from the 57 corvette gasser kit..STS decals were used..I added some side windows for the first time and they turned out ok.. The 67 Impala has been in my stash for a while..I tired to immulate a gentlemen who race Divison 5 stock eliminator Steve Hutar..The 67 base paint was black and that made the blue to dark..TS-15 Mica Blue is the color..I didn't like the way it turned out, but I wasn't going to repaint it..STS Decals were used here also...This was my 1st attempt to install a vinyl top on the Impala. Enjoy, I look forward to hearing your comments good or bad..I'm try to push myself to learn new techniques since joining this forum. The last pic is Steve Hutar car.

Nice job on the build..Clean looking A/SA like you would see at any drag strip..I really like you added the Cal-tracs to the rear suspension..You won't find too many Stockers at the track without that system on them..Nice addition to all the other features..Job well done.

I've been to Indy 3 times and love the Hemi Shootout of the Hemi Darts and Barracuda's..I've seen Bucky's car there..This model is so realistic, it's like you took Antman's ray gun and shrunk Bucky's car to 1/24 scale..This is in my top 2 favorite models of all time because of the details you have paid attention to..Bro you outdid yourself on this one..This is one show stopper of a model..Your skill is Extraordinary!!!

Hey Scott I wanted to pass on to you some items I found online..It's a 68 Dart Chassis kit with the 4 link..I included some pics for you to see..The one thing I didn't like is the front suspension..It's to flimsy and I got them just for the back half..I purchased them from ronniesetzer@charter.net Maurice Henderson any question hit me up at my email mch1raci@yahoo.com
