  1. I like them all but that Skoal Oldsmobile stands out among them. Is that Terry Labonte's or Rick Mast? I remember them both driving the Skoal Olds in black and white while Harry Gant had the green Skoal cars.
  2. Does anybody know where you can order Tamiya Paints in the US and have them shipped? I'm tired of going the closet hobby store, which is 50 miles away, and coming home empty handed.
  3. Tommy Boy. One of the clients that Tommy was trying to sign had some diecast cars on his desk and Tommy winds up crashing and burning it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-3Oehs6rzQ
  4. Awesome can't wait. One that I have been looking for for a long long time. Thank you Moebius
  5. Any updates?
  6. What yeloow is that? I like bright colors and have been looking for a bright yeloow like that. Looks good by the way.
  7. Lindberg 64 Plymouths and Dodges for early Johan 60's Dodges and Plymouths. Revell 68-69 Dart chassis/inner fenders for under hood of Amt/MPC 69 Barracuda. Revell ProStreet 67 Chevelle chassis for any 60's A body GM products. Revell 69 Camaro chassis for the old AMT 72 Nova prior to Revell's Novas. Revell Thunderbolt chassis, engine, interior floor for AMT 64 Comet
  8. This sad news but my take on the article on NHRA.com is that he and his wife decided to travel and spend time together not the lack of sponsor dollars. See attached link for article. http://nhra.com/story/2011/11/15/kenny-bernstein-retires-from-nhra-drag-racing/ Either way sad news and hate to see any team close up.
  9. Wow. I have been following your build thread here and it has inspired me to do one myself but it will turn out to be for my wife's grandfather instead. This looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.
  10. I bought this last week at the local hobby shop to build as a fifties custom but, then the wife asked me if I could build it for her grandfather. I said sure if time would allow. I already have numerous projects started that I can't work on to much on account of my 10 month old daughter but, I will give it a shot. ASked what his favorite colors were and was told Pearl White and Light Beige. So another trip to hobby shop for some paint. testors Pearl White, which I had in my stach and Testors Phoenician Yellow. Stripped chrome off side trim and glued in place prior to painting. Primed with Duli-color White Primer and sprayed pearl white but didn't go to well so in the stripper it went. Now today got the roof sprayed Pearl White and the body sprayed Phoenician Yellow. I guess it looks okay, I need to clear it yet. Will have have a beige and brown interior when completed. What do you guys think? This appears to be a nice kit, if I remember right this was the Kit of the Year when it first came out.
  11. Any chace of of you making resin copies of this when you are done the modifications? Would love to have resin copy of this. I like it alot. Keep it going looking great.
  12. Bring on the 50 Olds. I know I will get a couple and my father, brother and cousin will get a least one each. Long awaiting model. And of course who can forget about the Chrysler 300 from Moebius. I will get a case of them when the time comes. The Rat roadster will be on my list as well. I have always wanted the 1/16 scale Petty Charger. A big thanks goes out to the model manufacturers, now just bring out what you announce. Would love to still see more 50's Mopars though.
  13. Here's the beginning of my Hudson Hornet model. Tamiya Racing Green on roof and Tamiya Park Green on body, straight out of spray can. I still need to clear the body. I think it looks like fifties colors. What do you guys think of it?
  14. Yeah that lost part will show up after you completed the model or even when you get up from looking on the floor, there it is on your work surface. Hate that. Makes you turn into Homer Simpson, Duh!!!
  15. They look great. Can't wait to see what comes. Awesome and Thanks
  16. How many of you have spend less time cleaning up the body than the chassis? I didn't take but half the time to clean the mold lines on my body than it did to clean everything up on the chassis. I know some have commented on the mold lines on the body but mine wasn't that bad. And I have all trim intact yet.
  17. Just one word comes to mind . . . . WOW
  18. Simply awesome. I have stuff to this car as well but haven't had the time yet. Looks great.
  19. SWEET !!!! I love it. Looks great. Gotta love them A12 Mopars. Great job.
  20. Bring them on. Any vintage Mopar is welcomed in my house. ANy vintage drag car is welcomed. Heck any thing that can be converted to a drag car is also welcomed. Please bring back some vintage Mopars.
  21. NIce looking 64. Paint looks great and it's NOT a low rider. I like it.
