  1. Starting to see them on the street up here, cool little cars. Nice rendition.
  2. There is a kit of your top picture, the Dodge 700 tractor, flatbed trailer, and the '40 Ford all in one box. The bottom one I haven't seen but would be cool with the crushed cars. I haven't built the '40, it's not a great kit. The AMT version is much nicer.
  3. Impressive collection. Very nice work on all.
  4. Good assumption! Yes, I had also bought a couple of parts cars along the way and mixed/matched the best parts, then sold off grilles/trim pieces/interior parts.
  5. I have 2 so far, working on some others as we speak: First is my beloved Monte Carlo, had to sell it a couple of years ago. Undercarriage was all upgraded, engine gone through, just had bodywork and interior left when it went down the road. Second is our PT Cruiser. This is a diecast that I took apart and repainted with factory touch-up paint, not much done to it other than that. This one we're glad is gone, it was a dog! Overweight, underpowered (non-turbo), and the mileage wasn't that great. Working on my current 1:1 project, '67 Chevy short step, both real and scale.
  6. Nice cars. I miss Ernie too. He was a heckuva talent, good enough for Yates to put him in that car. The same could be said of Steve Parks, never the same after that crash at Pocono. It's a dangerous game for our entertainment.
  7. Nice, I love these big boats. Good job.
  8. Nice job. I had a '71 with a 350 that looked pretty similar, wish I still had it. Great weathering.
  9. Nah, I don't usually do WIP's because it might be months between updates. I'm basically going by Mark J's WIP on his #2 Charger for the lower valance. Hasn't been too hard so far.
  10. I'll be watching with interest Jonathan. I've got a similar project going converting the AMT COT to a 2011 version, Tony Stewart.
  11. Very cool, I love these old diggers. Great job!
  12. Be prepared to spend some time with the AB. There's a knack to it (which I haven't mastered). Spray cans are harder to control but there's zero clean up. One of these days I'll get the hang of both
  13. Sweet. Great job on it. I love any Impala.
  14. Great pair for the shelf. Nice job.
  15. Great save. Very nice job.
  16. Excellent job. Looks ready to race. Great paint & decal work.
  17. Excellent job. We need more longroofs, especially base models. I really like it a lot!
  18. Chuck is right, race cars are not 'high gloss' hand-rubbed showroom shiny. They are just shiny enough to gleam on the racetrack
  19. Nice two tone paint and great foiling job. Don't see many hotrod Edsels!
  20. Now you know. We're all over the map
  21. $6.99 at Kinney Drugs. They're having a clearance sale. I hope that doesn't mean they're dropping the (meager) model section.
  22. Maybe so. I like finding NASCAR in one place, but I also don't like having to search around for Indycars. Can't please everyone.
  23. I agree with Ray. I'm going for a look. If you try to cram every detail into the build it just gets too 'busy'. It's a hobby to relieve stress so do as much or as little as you like.
  24. Wow. Mean looking street machine, the stance is just right. Nice job.
  25. Mark, I hope you're not leaving for good? I've really enjoyed your builds, inspiring me to try some new things.
