Great job, you really nailed the look.

The white one in the first photo with the 1/2 race car looks like the Tennessee Thunder kit? The rest I have no clue, but it looks like a great collection of projects. I like the backhoe and fire truck!

Love it. Great job.

I grew up in Ohio and used to go with my dad and uncles to time trials every year in the 60's, never the race though. The era when the front engined Offy roadsters were still competitive before Jim Clark and Lotus changed things forever. I can't believe it's blacked out there, what a bummer!

I say a wheelstander exhibition car.

Water polo? Isn't that tough on the horses ?

Folks on this forum got some skills! These are all great looking models.

Great job, looks very realistic. Nice dio for the camera shots.

To celebrate tomorrow's race I thought I'd post some of my Indycars. I haven't done many of these but there are more in the stash. First is 'Ole Calhoun, Parnelli won in 1963 in this car. From a vintage kit I got at a car show, the decals fell apart when I tried them. Will be ordering some from Indycals at some point to finish. Not sure about this one, built from a Monogram kit, from the early '90's Last but not least, the turbine car of Andy Granitelli (sp?) from I believe 1968. He came back with the wedge car after they legislated the original out in '67. I saw these run in person, a real trip as they 'whooshed' past compared to the other cars roar. I hope everyone enjoys the race!

Very nice. 50's Fords are very cool. I like the extended taillights. Is that the stock grille?

I personally don't see the need for instructions (until I build it of course!). A shot of the box art and pics of the sprues do it for me. If it's not being built by the reviewer I like a little kit history, previous versions etc. If it is built by the reviewer then tidbits about which parts don't fit well or things to watch for are helpful. I rarely buy a kit based on a review, but instead on subject matter. BTW Gregg, I think we all appreciate everything you do for the site. I know I couldn't operate at a loss no matter how passionate I was.

Very nice collection. Love the sprint car. Clean builds all.

Dude, you have really got the junker thing down! I find new details every time I look. Great work.

I agree about losing the red stripes on the hood. Everything else is great. I love the shaker hood as well.

It's my day off, and I just found this thread. Read all 10 pages. I had thought about this one for awhile, but now it's definitley on my 'must have' list. The fact that it has a detailed Blue Flame 6 is enough for me. And I probably won't build it for several years but I'll have it

I love that seat! This is going really well.

Excellent Impala! Great job.

ROFL. Me too, what is this thing you call organ-isation?

Great model!

Very nice, great paint. We need more long roofs!

Sorry Jacen, my mistake. I thought it was about the tires not holding up at the speeds they were reaching?

I couldn't open it either?

Love it, Chapparal's were awesome back in the day. Hope you can post some more pics.

Only problem is, do you have room in the garage for it? Great model.

I'd leave it. The black paint looks flawless, why tempt fate? Unless you think you can do better. I've got lots on the shelf that I would like to do over but they also show how far I've come.
