I just bought these yesterday at the show. The AMT kit is strictly race car, looks like it could be a Trans Am car. The MPC is sealed and I haven't opened it yet.

Nice

There's going to need to be a lot of rebuilding around the rear wheel well to get it to look right with this body. An AMT body might be an easier starting place if you want a stock appearing street machine.

Truck on the bottom is Buckaroo Bonzai ?

Great job Bob. Never knew they made that.

Wow! great show, tables full of cars and vendors willing to deal. Spent way too much money, but picked up some great kits really reasonable. Now, if I could just get a few of these built this year.

This is the original kit, but any of it's later permeations should work.

Today's the day! See ya'll at the show.

Well maybe not format but the new low gloss look.

Getting used to the new format. Great issue all kinds of new projects to ponder.

I want one!

Who'll be first with the groundhog hat?

Looks like the bowling ball paint jobs from a few years back. Just have to be in an even smaller scale for the seats.

Total surprise as to the vehicle. Probably a good thing it was an unmanned test, the pilot would have one heck of a dizzy spell coming.

After I removed all of the electronics, it only weighs about 50#s. Easy to pick up, just awkward, or move as it has casters on the bottom. Thanks, Jim

Painting the inside is something I was considering, back to Home Depot for paint!

The motor is grounded as is the light. Might add some grounding strips to the back of the cabinet just to make sure.

Decided I needed a spray booth to replace the cardboard box I was using to spray in. A neighbor was tossing a large projector screen TV and I thought the shape was right for what I wanted. So I gutted it, put in a floor of coroplast (plastic cardboard) and sealed it with expandable foam. I had some vacuum motors from a bank tear down to move the air, they were used to move the cylinders from the drive thru to the bank and have brushless motors, the main filters are behind the white fluff in the corners. The motor is supported on 2 pieces of 2x4 and a metal flange that is part of the motor assembly. The rest is a 3" to 2" reducer, a 2" T and 2" tubing cut to length. The valve in the motor assembly is 2" so reducing it won't affect the performance. I put a floor of pegboard in and a 24" light fixture. And a turntable. An old power strip screwed to the side provides a place to pug in everything and it's ready to go. Hope to get some painting done tomorrow to test it out. Now I need to build a roll around table for it to sit on, need to raise it 24" to a comfortable height to work at.

How true, how true, sad but true.

Harbor Freight, got it on sale for $149. Sits beside the work bench.

That's good stuff !

Only 8 more days.

Beautiful, glad I'm not there. Supposed to be in the 70s and sunny today.
