I would love to have that set up. I could recreate my Grabber Maverick from my youth - but finish it the way I wanted to. Mine had a read spoiler too.

Great build, Dave. You did an outstanding job. That was my first car. Mine had a wankle. Lots of fun till I crashed it. I have another shell on its side in a shed waiting for time and money. Scott

Thanks for your time with this Gary. The pic will help. I also have another streamliner project with a front mount Olds. So its a win-win for me. Looking at the parts in the CC kit, they look a lot like the blower parts from the Galloping Ghost show car Casper did. The brochure in the box says that Casper helped with the addition of the new parts in the kit. Makes me wonder if he used the same blower parts in the CC and GG. If only I could find out of they were chrome in the CC, I would be set. Thanks again for your efforts.Very much appreciated! Scott

Hi Gary, Would you happen to have and engine shot of Carl Casper's Cosmic Charger? With the re-release of the kit with the correct front mount blower, that picture would be great for detailing. Thanks Scott

I broke down and got one through Amazon prime. First model I purchased in years. Too good to miss. The parts looks great. The front mount blower looks a lot like the unit from the Galloping Ghost. Does anyone have a shot of the actual CC engine?

I agree with everyone else. It looks great lowered. Good choice! The tires are Revell items. They came in the Rodfather and Mustang Funny car kits from the late 70's.

The line leading to the toilet in an upstairs hall bathroom let go in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Water flooded into the bathroom for hours before it woke me up at 3:30. The carpet was already wet on our outside of the bedroom door. I got the water shut off but the damage was substantial. The hall carpet (5 years old) was soaked. The water leaked through to the garage. Part of my bench got flooded. A lot of model magazines got soaked including some prized ones with pictures of my models. The garage ceiling was so wet that I poked a screwdriver through the sheet rock to let the accumulated water pour out like a drain. We used every towel in the house to soak the water out of the carpet and it was still wet. We ran a fan on the floor all night. The next morning we bought a shop vac to suck up as much as we could. I was still wet and it started to smell. We called a flood repair place. They came in like the calvary. Three cars. They used a stick device to find how far the the water actually spread. Two bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Walls, Garage ceiling, Even some cabinets got wet. We called our insurance company and they said to start the repairs. In one hour all the carpet was up. They are coming back to pack up some of our stuff. It's a huge mess right now.

That is exactly what I did. Built them both as a kid and then bought them both as an adult. The TD kits were my favorites. All you needed was a tube of glue and some bottle paints. It was good to go in one day. Hosted on Fotki

Went to Hobby Lobby with coupon ready to go. CC was not there. Bummer.

That Design a House is really cool. It would be fun to put one together. I don't think I brave enough to replicate my house. The walk through would be a bit tight.

I have those too, but the virtual walk through isn't quite there. Hosted on Fotki

Dreaming is free. The program cost about 50.00 to 100.00 dollars. Actually building the real thing would cost a fortune. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

It's a bit snug.

Hey Mark - Thanks for the offer on the bubble tops. I appreciate it, but I ever got around to building a bubble top custom, it would be fun to say where I got the clear roof from. Fun answers.

It was packaging for a swimsuit. I saved two parts in the hopes I could make a bubble top custom. True.

Wow! The finished product is excellent! I really enjoyed following this build. You did a great job. The stance is perfect topped only by the amazing paint. Stunning! Scott

Very clever! Prep the primer with the scratches. Thanks, Bill!

There have been a few episodes, but my favorite goes like this... One rainy night in 1983, my roommate and I were on our way home from a local sacramento bar. The Pine Cove was a favorite with college students because of the .50 drafts and 1.00 well drinks. No charge for the hair in your glass. We drove by the fairgrounds and noticed the gate was left open. We had seen an autocross there a few weeks before and thought, why not. We drove onto the course and spent the next 45 minutes sliding around in my ported RX3 laughing our asses off while we pretended to be rally drivers. It is amazing and very lucky we did not get caught. Good times.

This weekend I got to go for a ride in my Brother's Maseratti Quatro Port. From the bottom of the on ramp, we were at 90 by the freeway and 102 a second after that. Hosted on Fotki

I would like to know too. I followed this build. But I can't remember the process you used.

Thats cool!

Just turned in my last final for this semester. Two weeks until I start again. Still half a week off from work too. Maybe I'll hit the bench after I hit the yard.
