There was some talk a few years ago of having a race series for this car and others like it but the series never got off the ground. There were some cars built and run but I cannot find any evidence of a race series. About 15 years ago there was someone on the east coast who wanted to build a replica of the Chaparral 2D but that never got off the ground either.

I have used small crystals from the craft store that have blue dots.

I was in Kap the summer of 1971 for a week working for the provincial government, doing safety checks on cars and trucks...we got yelled at for turning on the bells and whistles in an OPP car I remember most how light it was at 10PM

I have a stubbie, picked it up at a vintage bike race in the swap meet area...okay, so it's about 30 years old, probably skunky, but check the label

Bring extra gas

You can also use a chunk of plasticine to hold the toothpicks or other small parts holders

Peter - VERY well done! One rumour at the Concours was that the car was actually the #3 off the assembly line and was cut up and not welcome by the Corvette clubs or shows. Another story was that it was a wrecked car that was salvaged. If you bring it to NNL East, maybe print up the photos to show the real car

I was at the Concours d'Elegance of America in Plymouth, Michigan and this Corvette was there, possibly the same car you copied Oh, it drove to the show field...

The 24th annual Autofest Oshawa took place this weekend with over 1000 cars, trucks and boats (watch the video), from antiques to hot rods to muscle to customs and tuners, something for almost everyone who likes cars I hope you enjoy my photos... http://public.fotki.com/howardcohen/autofest-2017/

AMT did the only one I know of in 1/25th scale. The original issue from 1963 was well done by the standards of 1963. If you wanted to super detail a 1963, you could take and AMT 1963 and the Monogram 1967, which is very well done, change the front fenders, add the rear window split, hood and a few other details to make a really nice 1963. Just don't make it look better than the original 1:1 car I see many 1:1 cars that are over done, too many coats of clear (didn't have factory clear in 1963), body panels too straight (factory panels has slight waviness), etc. This is my original 1963 coupe that I did about 25 years ago, simple white with foil.

For those who did not read the Molotow website, please remember that it is not paint, it is 'INK' and may fade with age, can't be touched or coated at all, covers like ink, not paint Look up the definition of 'chrome' and make sure you know what you are buying...really bright silver Chromium plate as a decorative or protective finish on motor-vehicle fittings and other objects. ...denoting compounds or alloys of chromium.

I just got it today, so no problem yet. I will have to make sure the tops are closed If a bottle does leak, I will have to blame you guys

I found this in a used goods store, made to hold those Kuerig coffee things, fits Tamiya large and small bottles and anything else that size, 15 per side, rotates, sturdy, cost me $2.99...such a deal

I have that kit and it was going well until I got to the rear window Not a good fit

This is an annual event held at the Boyd Conservation Area in Woodbridge, Ontario as a charity fundraiser and draws about 200 plus cars, enjoy my photos http://public.fotki.com/HowardCohen/italian-car-day-2017/

..and this is why your LOCAL hobby stores close You keep buying online and then your local store closes because you didn't support him

Some of you may not fully understand the history of the 300SL Coupe. It started life as a race car for M-B in the early 1950s and was later adapted for the street. I just acquired about 100 old car magazines from the 1950s including Road & Track and Sports Car Graphic. In these magazines there are numerous photos of 300SL Coupes racing on road courses. air strips (like Sebring), the PanAmericana, Bonneville, and many other places. The 300SL was a race car with license plates. Bob Sirna has built his 300SL as a Bonneville car and is the current record holder in the class at over 190MPH. The others associated with the car include John Fitch and Tony Delorenzo, both well known racers. Bob is also a member of the 300SL Club and a past president. He is well known and well respected as a car owner and racer

Very nice! I have done a few of those, also the Impalas from 57/8/9/60...patience is the key

This annual event was held in Plymouth, Michigan, a short four hour drive from home. Saturday morning started with a Cars & Coffee event and about 400 cars. I arrived at 6:30AM (yes, I left home at 1:45AM ) and was able to spend several hours chatting with people, taking photos and enjoying cars of all ages, shapes and sizes. The Sunday Concours had almost 300 extremely well restored and preserved cars from CanAm to drag to vintage, 13 original Cobras in one display, eight CanAm cars, 8 drag cars, a 62 Studebaker Indy Pace Car (son of the original owner, over 250,000 original miles) and too many more to describe. Have a look, there are nearly 1200 photos plus a short video, enjoy http://public.fotki.com/howardcohen/concours-of-america/

I thought he was texting and nodding off to sleep

Many years ago I started with Fotki, 2001 to be exact. I started with the free package and soon upgraded to store more photos. Over the years I have added thousands of photos. Lots of people criticized me and laughed at me for using Fotki as they used free Photobucket. Well, here we are, many years later and Photobucket is getting even for all those free years. Still laughing? Fotki costs me less than $40 a year for 100GB of storage space. Translate 100GB into photos...I have over 200,000 photos on Fotki! Some in public albums, some in private albums. I have no problem sharing them. The rates are still fair and reasonable. The site is easy to use. I load photos by drag and drop, thousands at a time. When I have had a problem, Fotki has solved them. I like Fotki https://public.fotki.com/HowardCohen/

Here is a photo of a prototype chassis, almost naked...does it remind you of any car?
