Both look very nice. Handsome Harry was my favorite driver in the day, and who can forget that iconic Tide car in victory lane at Daytona?
-
Beautiful paint and decal work, those wheels are works of art in themselves.
-
Yes it is, well done!
-
Very nicely done, and thanks for the tip!
-
Very cool! And it came with spy gear!
-
Wow, some really nice work. I especially like the TROG car! Did you do the A100 van from a Flintstone body? I have one to replicate a window van I had in the service, I'm just a little leery of cutting out all those windows without a slip!
-
Very nice! I love Impalas.
-
I'm not normally into such things, but this is cool! Very nicely done.
-
Love it! My first car was a '66, thanks for the memory jog

Any interest in NeoClassics?

To my eye most of them are completely tasteless and tacky, like pretty much everything in the "disco" era. Only my opinion however, like everybody has one -
X2, great concept and execution! Would be right at home it the Race of Gentlemen.
-
Very cool! I love the little flare on the passenger side skirt, don't let the jackman tug on it!
-
Nice! I always liked this livery, Bobby was the Man!

From Wikipedia: Weatherly began racing cars in 1950. "Little Joe" won the first modified event that he entered. He won 49 of the 83 car races that he entered that season. In 1952 he won the NASCAR Modified National crown, and he again won 49 of 83 car races that he entered. Weatherly won 52 more races in 1953, and won the Modified National crown again. Weatherly had partial interest in what would later be called Richmond International Raceway from 1955 to 1956. In 1956 he moved into the NASCAR Grand National series (now Monster Energy Cup.) He drove a factory-sponsored Ford car[2] for Pete DePaolo Engineering. For the next two seasons, Weatherly drove for Holman Moody.[2] In 1959, Weatherly recorded six top-five finishes and ten top-tens. He would narrowly lose the 1959 Hickory 250 to Junior Johnson; being outlapped twice before the race was concluded. Weatherly won NASCAR's Most Popular Driver Award in 1961. He won two consecutive championships in 1962 and 1963 for Bud Moore Engineering. Moore did not have enough resources to run the full season, so Weatherly frequently "bummed a ride". Thanks to tips culled from here, I fitted the glass ahead of time. I should have spent more time on the hood and grill however. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, Moebius kits are really fun and well detailed. Comments welcome, thanks for looking!

Nicely done. My dad had one this exact color (not a Royal Knight however). Thanks for the memory jog!
-
I love it! Open wheel cars of any vintage are cool. How was the Heller kit, I didn't realize it had an engine?
-
Looking forward to it. I'm gonna guess a #9.
-
Great looking build! You have a knack for these obscure cars from the '60s.
-
I agree with all of the above, outstanding work. White is unusual but it suits.
-
Wow! Very convincing weathering and the dio really shows it off well. Well done.
-
Unexpected color, looks great!
-
Great work on the foil and scripts, well done!
-
Beautiful! I agree, you need to blacken the tailpipes.

OK, who's going to be the first to try this? I have one I started a couple of years ago on the same idea. Ghostbusters body with the front end of the Monogram El Dorado grafted on for the engine bay. Roof from the Street Fighter drag car, narrowed to fit. It's been long stalled but I may have to bring it back to the bench with this inspiration! I was going for a Cadillac version of a Nomad.
