  1. By all means, come back. What I can see through the fuzzy pic looks great. Looking forward to seeing some more stock car folks on here. No pressure, though. It's all about fun.
  2. NASCARS will give you lots of practice on decals! Very nice job so far.
  3. Selective memory, if I remember correctly?
  4. It's only going to get worse. Yeah Harry, you and I learned this by the 2nd grade, but the "education" our tax dollars finance seems to be going downhill fast. Who needs to learn math when you have a calculator, or grammar when it's so hard on your thumbs? Voice recognition is coming fast, they don't bother teaching cursive writing anymore. I'm sorry, I'm feeling old and grumpy I guess
  5. ... i landed on a site that had a buttload of user reviews for kits, Out of curiosity, what was the site? Sounds like interesting reading.
  6. Add me to the list of admirers. Great job on an obscure subject. Old farts like me remember, but it's good to expose the younger folks to a little history. [emoticon indicating old farts here]
  7. That is a nice kit, builds up just the same as a car. I did the 'Hot Wheels' Dodge a couple of years ago. Many of the trucks racing now have the same sponsors as cup or Nationwide, and many don't have sponsors at all.
  8. Very nice, excellent weathering. I especially like the in-scale window net!
  9. Impressive to say the least. I'd never seen this car either, but this is as good as seeing the real thing!
  10. I looked back a few pages but didn't see anything on this topic. I've done a lot of stock '50's-'60's barges lately so I've gotten fairly proficient with BMF. Side spears, hood trim, emblems, no sweat. What I can't seem to master is the A pillar/vent window trim. Mine always come out looking like a big bag of ######. How do you manage to do a neat job with all those acute angles? Any tips-tricks-magic spells appreciated. Please help! Sorry, I meant bag of donuts
  11. I've got a serious case of the wants! Hands trembling, palms sweating. Put them on the boat already
  12. Another very clean build John! Benny was a true gentleman driver and great ambassador for the sport.
  13. This is very cool! Are you putting it back to black or?
  14. Who's going to be the first to complain about 'desecrating' the flag on the roof? The same folks who had their panties in a bunch when the hippies sewed flags on the 'rear' of their jeans?
  15. Outstanding replica! Very nicely done.
  16. After seeing this thread, I had to go to Wallyworld and get a Stude. I also came home with a '49 Buick Roadmaster. Lead sled anyone? Great job so far on the gasser! I'm a little nervous about hacking on metal
  17. Great job! Now if he could only get the firesuit from Delana
  18. Me too. And then like RodneyBad put them back together and do it again! It was usually airplanes though, not cars. When I asked dad if I could blow one up, he said "sure, as long as you pick up each and every piece", like that was gonna be a deterrent

    Smart??

    Great job! Hot rod of the future? Can you say speed skating?
  20. X2 I wonder if it will have "racing parts" like heavy duty wheels and a roll bar?
  21. Of course the knife. But after that I would say wooden clothes pins. I've got them in 3 or 4 different sizes and you can cut them up for unusual clamping jobs.
  22. I never pay that much attention. Probably a generic hardware store red enamel. I use those a lot.

    Mopar cars

    Nice 300C. Love the finned cars.
  24. Before Hendrick, running for DEI I think. Monogram kit. Sits a little too high in the back, but the springs will settle down at speed, right? Wouldn't want to fail post-race inspection
  25. Great job, very realistic looking. Now if I could only find one like that for $100
