He ran a Boss 429. Car was built for a 351 Cleveland but because of a rules change he made the switch. He said it was the Worst handling car he ever drove at the time, like a fuel Altered.

Looks pretty good from that casting. Not the best looking Mercury Pickup design but you pulled it off.

Great job.

I like this also. They could be on their own tree and if they want to use them again just slip in the box of a complete kit at a later date.

A nice set of wire wheels. A 351 Cleveland would be nice. Hop up parts from the 40's - the 70's would be nice. Not sure how to go about that break up though. Some Photo Etch parts like brackets for Alternator and power steering pump would be nice. How about some suspension parts like a straight axle, rear end parts for drag cars. Wheel tubs maybe.

I like it.

All very good points Rob. With the limited amount of aftermarket may be why we don't see them built up more often. The size may be what keeps people from taking them to shows. I think I have only seen maybe 20 large scale models at shows in the last 15 years.

They are not cheap at shows now or ebay. I am sure on a good day you can get a deal but mostly not. I think the biggest problem when new was timing and only one build option. Some rework of this kit and today It would sell better.

Good idea Lee.

This sure turned out very nice.

This came out nice.

Nice

Tim Richmond good to soon. The one guy that would not take stuff from Dirty Dale.

The Comet was going to be an Edsel in fact my brother has looked at a title from an early Comet and it said Edsel on it.

Nice work. Great vision with these 2.

After reading your post I guess i should not have passed on the MPC vette . Darn it. I did not know of the other goodies.

Now that is cool.

This is a nice pair of Studebakers you have going..

This came out nice Ray.

This is very nice.

I would be more impressed if they could fix a pothole up here in Michigan than if the could allegedly put a car in space that has no use. Better yet go to a Planet that can't support human life, there is another good use of research and money.

Nice Work Tom. Nice vision.

Sorry for the above post Scott. I like your Mercury, I have always wondered how that snapper looked built. Fine work.

Not sure this is the correct color if this to represent a new car. From what I have found 58 is the first year for the Blue cars. They were all Black with a gold strip before that.

The Blizzard of 78 was very hard here. We got rain followed by snow and High Winds. The two big storm meet here. It was a mess. Dads fairly new barn was 14 foot at the top ( a flat roof Butler)and the drift went up to almost the top. Made a great place to tunnel. I was only 12 so I got to play after the power came back on. After the Phone came back on we found out we got a new cousin in the middle of all of it. I still tell her she has always been trouble.
