  1. I've been fiddling off and on for years with an Ecto-1, Monogram '59 and a roof from one of the '60 Chevy drag cars.
  2. I'll be following. Interesting car I've never heard of.
  3. Came today to the Green Mountains. Can't wait to break it open!
  4. Not an easy kit to get together, you did well!
  5. I wish Revell would tool up a body for their excellent '71 Mustang kit. This was no great shakes, 302 2-bbl with 3 on the floor, but the girls loved it!
  6. My first, '66 Corvair, $400. Dad wouldn't let me park it in the driveway because it leaked oil from the pushrod tubes on the horizontal 6. Sold to my grand uncle when I went into the USAF and he totaled it some months later

    Wasn't expecting that! Very cool.
  8. Can't go wrong with an Impala / Caprice! Nice work.
  9. I didn't know this existed until now. A true racing icon. Can't wait to follow your journey!
  10. Really nice! I always liked the colonnade bodied intermediates, you did a great job on this one.
  11. I like it! Always wondered what it would take to make the lowrider stock, now I know.
  12. Beautifully done, outstanding weathering! I love the chipping on the prop blades. Thanks for showing this.
  13. Well done! Those are not easy kits for a first effort.
  14. Great job! Gentleman Ned Jarrett doesn't get enough recognition for the part he played in NASCAR history.
  15. Beautiful work on both. Clean paint and decaling. Thanks for posting.
  16. Impressive group of racers, well done!
  17. Very nice! That looks like a decaling nightmare but you pulled it off.
  18. Nice! I just acquired this one in 1/24, hope it goes half as well.
  19. Revell kit, 1/24. This one has an engine but its not accessible once the body is glued together. Had a real tough time with the decals on this one, they kept falling apart even after applied and dry. I added the tobacco logos from a sheet from Indycals. Jacques Villeneuve drove this to the 1997 F1 World Championship. Anyway, glad its finished and on to the next victim. Comments welcome as always, thanks for looking.
  20. Beautiful work! That engine bay is off the charts.
  21. I'm working on an old Revell F-1 car and the decals are giving me fits, cracking and falling apart. My question is if I use some liquid decal film to keep them in one piece, will solvaset or the like still be effective to make them snuggle down? I'm afraid I already know the answer but thought I would see if anyone has had any experience. Thanks in advance.
