My J/SA 62 Pontiac 421 SD & H/SA 427 Impala SS
Maurice Henderson replied to Maurice Henderson's topic in Drag Racing
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

Sir, The words to describe this build are not in my vocabulary..I've seen the real car in action at a ADRL race that our team attended in St Louis in 2009..You hit it out the park with the stance, engine, paint and fabrication..Like Mr. Han said to Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, "Your skill is Extraordinary!!!"

Butch Leal’s 72 California Flash Duster
Maurice Henderson replied to dragcarz's topic in Drag Racing
Dragcarz, I agree with you ? on your statement..I had surgery on my left thumb in February and it's still numb..I got the AMT Catalina 62 421 SD & 67 Impala on my bench right now..Having your hands work ? is essential to modeling..I can't count how many parts I have dropped because of my left hand & I'm right handed. -
Scott, can you tell me what drill bit did you use to drill out the distributor? Second it that an Iceman's distributor? I'm planning on doing Jim Pancakes and Jimmy Daniels Hemi Darts.
-
Outstanding build..I've built a couple of these kits.. I never have used the Fred Caddy decals, so you have interested in seeing what I can purchase from them..That white paint is on point along with the rest of the build.
-
Does that thing got a Hemi in it? Sir, what an outstanding build..The engine detail is on point and the paint is outstanding..Like Mr Han said to Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon "Your skill is Extraordinary!!!"

Dick Landy Hemi Dart & the Billy the Kid Pro Stock Dart
Maurice Henderson replied to Maurice Henderson's topic in Drag Racing
Sir, thank you for the kind words..Sometimes I think that I'm not a very good modeler so I opened myself up to this forum to hear what the community has to say..For the most part, guys have been very helpful including yourself..I have never shown any of my builds, but this community is do welcoming that y'all have made it easy for me..I have probably 100 builds on my shelf..I might put some of my earlier builds on the channel. -
“ BUILDING THE COVERS “Vol # 81 The B&W Hydro street roadster
Maurice Henderson replied to M W Elky's topic in Drag Racing
Bro, you hit it out the park on this one..Hand painted lettering is truly being an innovated modeling skill..I am so glad I joined this forum to see the many talented modelers kits like yours. -
Dick Landy Hemi Dart & the Billy the Kid Pro Stock Dart
Maurice Henderson replied to Maurice Henderson's topic in Drag Racing
Thank you sir, The bottom of the Billy the Kid is a TS-64 Dark Mica Blue..I forgot that in my earlier post -
Sir, I really like the stance on your Chevelle..I actually remember this car from back in the day..You don't see a lot of models that drag cars from the 70's, 80's & 90's that's probably why I will build my models from those years..Co grats on a fine build.

Good Afternoon everyone Just finished these two models a couple of days ago..1st up is the Billy the Kid car..I used the MPC 76 Dart kit for the build..Slixx Decals, Slixx's aftermarket rims, hood scoop from parts box..I scatched built the roll cage..The decals gave me fits, but over all I'm ok with it except for my slicks stick out to wide..Measured three times and STILL got it wrong, but I wasn't taking it apart. I wired the engine for my second engine ever.. Comment & enjoy The Landy Dart has STS Decals..I added to the roll bar Again the decals gave me fits..I would let them sit and they would be in a different place..I had to seal the slicks from the 55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser. Wired the engine, but forgot the coil..Will do fix it later. I'm not really happy with it because it sets higher on the right side than the left..Took it apart, roll cage isn't touching the roof..I just wanted it done.. Comment & enjoy

Maurice Henderson replied to dragcarz's topic in Drag Racing
Dragcraz Can you tell me where you purchase the decals for your build..I purchase some decals from Slixx and they are falling apart..I would appreciate Amy assistance.. -
Sir, I just bought this kit from my local hobby store..Don't have a plan yet for it..Your model is outstanding..I love the stance and color..I'm not a big steely wheel guy, but you made it look as authentic as if this was your race car from the 1970's. You got my wheel turning in my head on what to do with my kit.
-
My friend, your build is outstanding..I love that you dropped that 440 in it..The color combination you used is on point..Did you use the rear slicks from another kit?
-
Sir, 1st I would like to say, that is one beautiful and detailed model..Love the color and stance. Engine detail is really nice..One question, Are those the slicks from the Nova SS kit or aftermarket?
-

72 Plymouth Roadrunner 426 HEMI 8 Pack
Maurice Henderson replied to AmericanMuscleFan's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
My God The detail you put into this model is phenomenal sir..The rear end and drums look realistic as hell..The engine block, WOW!!!..This is what I espire my modeling skills to become..Those parts looks as if you took them to Jerry Bickel Race Cars shop to have them built..Although Jerry passed last year, his team builds some the drag racing premiere Pro Mods in the country..This is in my top 20 models of my life time..Again, job well done sir!!!
