I just watched my dvd copy not that long ago. Great movie for car guys. In case any is interested here is where I got my dvd copy from. http://www.thevideobeat.com/jd-biker-hot-rod-movies/lively-set-1964.html

I prefer the Johan bodies over just about anything today. They just looked correct and they look great over modern day chassis'.

Thanks guys. I will be slow with work and tryin to raise 2 kids under 3 yrs. But I will keep plugging away at it.

Got decals from SlotCar Fever and wasn't totally happy with them. Could just be from not dealing with them prior, I don;t know for sure but I went and tried to make some of my own. I placed them the numbers on the car and the red bled thru badly so I hand painted over the decal to have a guide, not totally happy with results. I used some Fred Cady decals for the front fenders and some of the sponsors. I have painted the red in the middle of Smokey's on the front fender as well. I have noticed in some of the pictures that the sponsors are in differnet location, the Champion moves from quarter to door in some pictures so I guess this car was run more than once instead of just in the 1956 Southern 500. Need to see if I can come up with what races it ran.

Remember the Ford Probe, was to be the next gen Mustang at the time but Ford got alot of slack about it being front wheel drive so, i heard anyway. The Probe didn't do much for me then and still don't.

They have a facebook page that shows they were at I-Hobby show. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.374796169289860.1073741829.110897742346372&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=374796469289830&set=a.374796169289860.1073741829.110897742346372&type=3&theater Amazon has them too. They show Red and Sarge as in stock. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=zvezda%20cars#/ref=sr_nr_n_1?rh=n%3A6925836011%2Ck%3Azvezda+cars&keywords=zvezda+cars&ie=UTF8&qid=1381259978&rnid=2941120011

Bring it on. Hope they release it this time. So many more cars that could be done with this kit, be it 64's or any early to mid 60's Mopars with the chassis' in these kits.

Nice looks great. Thanks for sharing

I started another model. It will be a replica of the car prepared by Smokey Yunick for Herb Thomas to run the 1956 Southern 500. I started with a Revell 1956 Chevy Del Ray that I got in a trade with Chuck Most, thanks Chuck. I modified the trim on the rear quarters from the Del Ray to a 150 trim model, to the best of my eye anyways. I have primed, painted, cleared and bare-metal foiled the trim. I have started to modifiy the interior by cutting out the rear seat and filling that in with sheet plastic, no pics of this at this time. Got chassis painting started. Next up will be decaling.

I will be watching this. Love these cars. So many possible color choices with these from the factory that just look right. Great colors by the way.

Cool. I like it.

Updates?

Cool. what orange did you use?

Awesome. Glad to see you back at the bench.

Boyd's I know alot of Boyd's cars was designed by Foose but I was referring to Boyd's later cars after Foose left.

Some Foose cars are ok but for the most part I can pass on them. Now, Boyd's cars look nice but I know some people didn't care much for him either. I always liked the 56 Chevy "Junkyard Dog" that they did and the 63 Max Wedge Dodge. They were some nice cars.

I just dug out my Dirty Donny Superbee and wow. If Round2 would have went back and cleaned up the mold for the body, that would have been nice. I could shave myself with some of the moldlines on the quarters of the body/ Don't get me wrong I love having these 60's and 70's Mopars and we need more of them.

Always thought that was a nice looking car. Great job. Love it.

Looks sharp.

Nice can't wait til I can get my hands on these. Love the 55 will love the 56.

Nice great looking model.

Nice looks great. Thanks for sharing.
