OK, so I'm not a big JJ fan at all. I'm afraid he's been stinking up the circuit for awhile now. But give the devil his due, you don't get to be a 5 time champ by being a chump! And I guess I need this car in my collection for that reason. This is the first (and probably only) AMT snapkit that I've built. Went together pretty well with some tips I've seen on this and other boards.
I may have to pick up one of the newer AMTkits, that wing is just awful. Maybe do a Carl Edwards car if he can pull it off this year?
Thanks for looking.
I'm in Woodbury, towards the Kingdom. Smoke is my favorite too, ever since he smacked that cameraman. I've been to the Glen, Dover, Louden, and Richmond. Bristol someday! You shop online or go to a store I don't know about?
One more vote for an Airflow. Oh and any year Packard, there's an American brand that's gotten no love through the years. Also i can't help but believe any year Cadillac from the '30's up through to today wouldn't be a winner. But I think I'm in love with Steve's 300
It seems to be a good time to be in the hobby. With the tanking economy, more folks are staying home and playing. I'm excited by the buzz. The Hudsons, '50 Olds, and '57 Ford in particular but then I'm an old fart.
Martinfan5 said younger modelers get left out, and he's right.
I can understand and sympathize, but what car out today would get kids juices flowing? I myself have no idea. Everything you see on the road today is a jellybean where you can't tell a Toyota from a Hyundai from a Nissan from a Honda. We older folks want and build what we lusted for as teens, what do teens today lust for? I see the entire auto industry going away in my children's and grandchildren's lifetimes as they all get around in transport 'pods' of some type that do all the work, you punch in your destination and sit back and play with your iphone until you get there.
Would anyone buy a kit of a Subaru or Kia?
I don't know if they're worth anything, but they're great kits! Well detailed, 3 different size tires, full tube frame, I enjoyed building them. The back tires make great pro-street meats.
Amazing! Very well done. Engine detail is just right. Leave the vent window, we used to run like that on hot days, 2-70 air conditioning (roll down both windows and go 70mph)
