All I got to say is WOW They look awesome.

Here's a link to the Grumpy's Toy tribute Camaro. Would love to build one of these someday. http://www.gkmotorsports.com/gallery/nhra-stock-eliminator-copo-camaro/

Haven't heard anything about Mobieus but I ordered decals off of evilbay and used them. Not bad but ok. Here is link to my build so far. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64911&hl=thomas

Great looking build there. Very nice. I need to get one of these for my collection

Unique subject excellent execution. Looks great.

Don't like Gordon but very funny video.

Which are you working on? The 62 Impala was white white red artwork with red interior and the 62 Bel Air was white with Teal lettering and interior. Neither one had blue interior in them that I have seen.

Looking great. Would love to see more.

Roger love all your builds. Do you have any updates on the Demon?

Got my decals from Patto and they look great. I will have to look into the numbers on the doors though, the pics of the car show them being gold foil but the decals are not.

Looks amazing. I have plans to do this car as well. Will look back on your build for inspiration. Thanks for sharing it

When did Nascar teams stop using factory chassis' and started with a full racing chassis? I recently won a MPC Petty Charger on evilbay and would like to do something with the chassis but not sure if the chassis is correct or whether one from a AMT 71 Charger would be more correct. I plan on doing this with the Petty Roadrunners that I have gotten but not sure about the Chargers after seeing the 1/16 scale ones. Should I just use the one in the kit or use a more stock appearing chassis with rollcage built on top of it? I know the "K" members in front need to be scratch built to race spec and not stock.

Updates?

Thanks guys for all the comments. They are welcomed. Progress will be slow on this with having a 2 year old and a 6 month old. Maybe one day they can help me build all the models in my stash. I have blocked the nose and rear window area and applied a skim coat of spot glazing and blocked that down again. I hve applied the fender scoops as well and started cleaning up the rear wing from the flash and pin holes. I have re-primed the body to see whatelse needs to be done. I do know that I need to fab up some rear window trim, need to think how best to do that. I have seen where Patto Decals out of Austrilia will print out decals at any scale you need if asked and I have seen where he has decals for the Bobby Allison Daytona and have been in contact with him and placed an order. Now I just need to wait and see what I get from him. Have heard he has nice decals and great to work with.

Vernon, here is the website where I got it from. http://www.freewebs.com/rmrresin/nf125.htm

I purchased the 1/16th Scale Dukes of Hazzard Charger and wasn't pleased that it could not be built into a street stock car. So I went looking to see what could be done with it and found a conversation kit from Resin Motor Replicas to make it into a Daytona Charger. I received the conversation kit and it came with instruction on how to modify the rear window from the tunnel glass to the flush fit glass. I sliced the body along the base of the "C" pillars and bent the panel between the rear window and trunk up to align with the top edge of the "C" pillar. Rescribed the trunk edge and glued plastic in around the window to try and make it look closer to the rear window opening in a real car. Then I moved to the nose. I straighted the leading edges of the front fenders and glued the resin nose on. Then I cut from the top edge of the bumper notch in the fender back and cut and filled in the opening with sheet plastic to mold the nose into the fenders. Sanded things down and puttied with Tamiya White Putty and primed quickily today to see how things was looking. I am not sure how to finish the bottom out so I placed chassis in the body and seen how much room I had with the roll bars in placed and cut to be able to clear all this when I go to complete it. Have not seen how anybody else is handling this area either. Would like to replicate the Bobby Allison #22 which means I will have to come up with my own decals.

Nice

Cool

How about the Chrysler Norseman that never made the shores of the United States from Ghia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Norseman http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=chrysler+norseman&qs=ds&form=QBIR#

Awesome Love it something other than a Foose abortion

Updates?

Any updates?

A few years ago at the Carlisle Chrysler Show they had a Butch Leal Dart there but it was a candy red and silver down the side. Looked great but not sure if it was original or not. At the same time they had the 65 stock wheelbase car as well which was the more familiar orange and white. Here's a link off the butchleal.com http://www.butchleal.com/DartPrint.html

Love it. That is just too cool. Nice Santa helpers too.

I have deleted my previous post surrounding this car. It was posted in poor jugement and my apologies go out to Rod, his wife and his upholsterer. The way the post was typed was irresponsible on my part and I am truly sorry. I know for a fact that Rod's upholsterer does excellent work and I have seen said car in person and it is truly amazing in the way it is built. I know that alot of people have complained in the way Rod builds his cars and they say he destorys Corvettes but I don't see it. I have seen mutliple builds of his at car shows around the area and they have all been truly astonishing to see, not to everybodies taste but when you really look into the way they are built it's amazing. I am sure that everybody has worked hard over the years to be able to create and afford to built these amazing machines. Again my apologies go out to everyone involved.
