Not in love with the metalflake but otherwise very cool.

Came across this today, desktop for $799, resolution down to .1mm with built in scanner. Resolution not there yet but we're getting closer all the time! http://www.computerworld.com/article/2839535/review-the-new-da-vinci-all-in-one-3d-scannerprinter.html#tk.CTWNLE_nlt_dailyam_2014-10-28

Very nice, love the steel wheels.

Wow! Beautiful work, belongs in a museum. That engine is amazing looking.

They sure would be cool for dios or pickup loads. I would think they would have a limited number of parts in 1/24-5. If HD wants to be greedy, how about a Victory or any number of V-twin clones out there?

Great model Tulio! Very understated and convincing weathering, great looking car.

Nice job. Love to see these old racers come to life.

My first car was a '65 Corvair and I loved it. The issue I had was leaking gaskets at the ends of the pushrod tubes, my dad wouldn't let me park in the driveway because of the constant oil slick under the car! $0.50 in parts but a ton of labor to pull the heads and replace the gaskets, so I just kept pouring in oil at the rate of a quart every 100 miles or so Got great gas mileage however, I had the 110 horse Monza.

Sad news, another icon passes. RIP

No clue on where you would even begin to look for stats on 2nd cars. But i think you're right, not many people i knew growing up in the sixties had a 2nd car. Moms stayed at home and tended the house and kids, there was no need.

Very tasty!

Outstanding! And very nice outdoor photos as well.

Beautiful car, great paint and decal work. Outstanding job Bruce!

I disagree. The Monogram 1/24 and AMT 1/25 kits from the 90's were great kits and made a lot of coin for the companies. That fad has now run it's course and NASCAR itself is on the decline for a variety of reasons, hence little interest in those cars or new ones. All the interest now is for us baby boomers and cars from the 50's and 60's.

I totally agree. Major league ballplayers in every stick & ball sport are wildly overpaid for what they do IMO.

I followed the build-up of this, just outstanding work Harry. Plus you make it look so easy, the mark of a true craftsman. That trunk came out nice!

What have you done?! Seriously that's cool. Very original concept and great execution.

X2! That track brings back some memories.

Nice! I also saw the trailer combo in the mag, congratulations!

A lot of great stories! Car culture in the US is alive and well, at least for now. For me it's a '64 Grand Prix, red with black interior. Dad left us kids at grandma's to go shopping for his first new car. He wanted a GTO, but apparently Mom prevailed and they came back with the bigger (more practical for a family of 4) Grand Prix. It had a 326, console shifted auto with buckets, and those famous finned - 8 bolt wheels. Actually the finned center portion was part of the hub, cooling the state-of-the-art drum brakes, the wheel was more of a 2 piece rim affair. My dad swore, after rotating the tires (with a 4-way), never again! It also had the big manifold vacuum gauge on the console where there should have been a tach. I was 10 at the time. I learned to drive and parallel park in that car. Dad offered to sell it to me when I turned 16 but I couldn't afford it, bought a '66 Corvair instead. I liked that car too, but shoulda, woulda, coulda had a V8.

Add my admiration. Very nice conversion.

Very cool! I love these land yachts. Nice work.

Nice, a real blast from the past. Great model.

Neat models! I don't know how anyone can work on something so small, 1/25 is my limit. Nice work.

Inspiring work Harry. That seat looks amazing.
