LOL ! Beauty is in your eye as they say...

Interesting subject. Everyone does the #71 K&K Superbird, this is a nice change of pace, and historically significant as well. Keep it going.

I know, right? Hard to believe the 80's were 20 years ago!

Holy jetpack Batman! Nice concept, great execution.

Very nice. I've got one of these to do as a NASCAR when I get to it. Great job!

I like it. Something different from the same old 'top-of-the-line' trim on most kits. This looks a lot like a pic (maybe a year or so ago) in Muscle Car Review of Zora Arkus-Duntov's 59 Biscayne. Talk about a sleeper! Great job.

I'm working on the exact same thing, back converting the Fairlane 500. What did you use for the door frames, they look great. Excellent job BTW!

Interesting topic. I don't know enough history to offer anything about phantoms.

I limit myself to 3 under construction at any one time. Any more than that and the ADD kicks in

Wow! Incredible detailing, right down to the pipe clamps on the exhaust. Great job, thanks for sharing!

This is too cool. Can't wait to see more!

Born in the 50's, first car I remember was a '57 Plymouth. Then we had a '58 Impala convertible (that I spilled a McDonald's milkshake down the rear seat speaker, Dad was pleased). After that was a '64 Grand Prix (in which I learned to parallel park), a '66 Toronado, and Dad's '66 Corvette Stingray. He also had a '60 MGA and a '64 Triumph TR4, as well as a '48 Olds at various times. He was always a car guy and I guess that's where I got it. Taught me routine maintenance and explained how things worked. I remember making 8-track mix tapes (I had a recorder!), going to Frisch's drive-in, and stingray bikes. We went to the Indy 500 time trials every year, never the race. I don't much care for anything built after 1980, but that's just me.

Good to have you here. We need more NASCAR, especially the dark side variety.

These used to everywhere on the roads, then they all got used up at racetracks . Great job, I love the factory stock style builds.

One of my all-time favorites, you did it justice. Nothing screams 'look at me' like a giant red Caddy. Nice job.

Mark, is the wire so the tubing doesn't collapse on itself at the bend, or to help hold the bend in place? Do you heat the bend to keep it? The cage looks good so far.

Is that a sexy body or what? Great job.

Cool project. Take all the time you need, it is supposed to be a hobby after all

That engine looks real....real bad! Great job, no one is going to choose this one off on the boulevard!

I like it a lot. Clean build, great job.

Absolutely, I was just trying to clarify.

Except they're not welded, they're bolted together. That's a big reason why early NASCARs used a Ford 9". They could have several center sections set up with different gears and swap them easily at the track.

If you can stuff a hemi in a Gremlin, why not? I like it, always liked the 2nd gen Camaros.

Nice job, great paint. I've got one of these on the bench right now, hope it comes out 1/2 as good. And I agree, we need more pictures.

Me too, so it can't be 'arty or cerebral' . Once I'm done with one it goes on the shelf and I rarely touch it again. It's all about the build. Great job on the Tweedy BTW.
