    Here's the back view as of today I'm happy with the tail lights I should have put them in when it was still white plastic instead of after. Now I'm working on trying to get the seats fitted in.

    If you end up spraying it that color would you take a suggestion? Take the spray can and stick it under a hot water faucet and bring it up to baby bottle temperature then spray you might like the results.

    The color I remember it being is about the same color as the Stone, Woods and Cook car a light dark powder blue metallic it's an old '60s color.

    I'm glad you guys really have enjoyed this post because it does show promise as a real neat looking miniature. I have so many different photographs I used to belong to one of the clubs but I got tired of people taking other people's posts for their posts instead of going and looking it up themselves the owner I asked you one day how many photos do you see at a visit he said all about 5 or 10 he was surprised when I told him when I go looking I get between 35 to 100 photos of good stuff. I used to go to a lot of the car shows in the area not too much anymore it's kind of hard for me to get around I'm getting too old I have about 10 SD cards filled with car shows here's a few that I've attended. I also found a photo of the second owner of Star Teaser and a photo with the body being painted without the lettering

    Go to YouTube see the video that I put down it's got the car in it the very first car shown in the video it's really too bad the damn woman stood up just at the finish line so you couldn't see the time. I wish I could tell you more about the Jag motor but I've had this for a long time and I forget if you look it up start teaser if you do the digging it's in there and answer all your questions because the section with the motor they had all that information.

    Ohh if you go to YouTube look up this "UK Drag Racing 1975-76 Santa Pod, Wroughton, Blackbushe and Snetterton" Nick Pettitt

    Here's a photo of the original one. The car was then sold and I believe it was the second owner who redid the car and built a whole new chassis for it and put a fiberglass body I was trying to look at some of those early photos and I couldn't find them right now I got too many. The third owner gave it to paint job of today.

    Those are the nicest looking carburetors I've seen in a kit that's a real nice looking engine too

    What kind of wire did you use to hold the car when you painted it was it that I've been trying to find something better than what I've been using to spray my stuff I like that.

    How I learned out about this place believe it or not Stacy from Gearz back when he had Trucks TV show and the Lane museum Jay Leno like that one.

    Sweden calls this car the jumping dog house. You got a good eye

    Thank you for the correction but I knew it was somewhere over there you have to forgive me I have CRS can't remember well you can figure that one out. I've used it once in awhile for other jobs.
  15. Stanward VonDiederichs
    I've known about this car for quite a while I've kind of followed its history seeing what you guys do you may like this it's my favorite shot and it makes me think watch out John Force top photo

    I still have my 64 Ford galaxie with a 427 it's so old that the Chrome on the front bumper and grill is disappearing and turning to the White plastic. ?‍??

    I wish at that time somebody made an Edsel so I could use the tail lights on a 57 Ford.

    I remember this kit ? the first car AMT produced of the old car series the next what's the five window coupe they always made me mad that they never made a three window because that's what I wanted and I'll tell you I only bought them for a dollar. ??? I made a mess of these along with the 40s I have in my collection the 32 roadster five window and the 40 Ford brand new never been built.

    My very first was an old Jaguar roadster that I put together with white glue. Don't ask me what kid it was cuz I don't remember I was too young I was about four or five years old early 50s after that I had a thing for buying the revelle 1/32 jalopy Derby cars and in 56 the revelle 1/32 Ford p/u it was a neighbor teenager that taught me how to drop the front end on one of those kits leave off the springs in the front and glue the axle to the frame that would dump it. ???

    If you don't mind fabricating the parts in Nashville Tennessee there's a museum called the towing and recovery museum it's the history of towing and they have a lot of vehicles in there if you look online you might find that museum I did I used it a several times for building a tow truck.

    Thank you for the comment it's much appreciated. On that Capri we both misspelled the name for that model of car it's Perana is the proper spelling but you understood what I was talking about. ??
  22. Stanward VonDiederichs
    Thank you for that comment that really makes me feel good. What I did was really simple all of you could do it if you just follow the step that I go through when I paint and some of that knowledge comes from AMY'S magazine that Hot rod magazine did back in the 60s and Peterson publication on body and paint books.

    Vette as of today you know it is getting close to completion when you start putting tail lights and headlights in the bumpers haven't been glued in they've just been set in place I haven't put the windshield in yet for one reason I like to use just a small dab of silicone sealant to hold it in. The other thing is I'm trying to build up enough nerve to put a little bit of tape by the windshield there and drill a small hole for the side view mirror I'm placing the mirror close to the windshield post where it belongs and not way out on the fender like they have.

    Sorry for the mess up sometimes the finger messes up

    You've done a real cool job on this 34 I'd like to see what it looks like finished that's going to be a showstopper. If you didn't know that was the very first one piece fiberglass body ever built the first one was a steal bodied one I have known about Jim since the 61 I read about him in Hot rod magazine here's what they wrote. See photos
