Looks good. What color is this? Very close to my brother 72 Nova he had .

Bring back the memories of the 80's Escorts/Lynx/Tracers that ran through the family livery. 5 in all. I bought my sisters Tracer from her, what a fun car it was. Had the Escort GT engine in it. Then my niece needed a car so I sold it to my oldest sister for kid. She wrecked it not to long after . The color you chose is close to the Lynx my sister bought new in 82. I built one of the Revell kits back then.

Howard this is a very cool color choice.

Nice looking group of cars. A good year for you.

Jim these are what we use at work . They are not cheap but they work good. The only problem is that they do not offer 180 grit. http://www.gesswein.com/p-10301-belt-sticks-sets.aspx?cpagenum=&sortfield=&sortdirection=&perpage=

The glow in the dark paint sure is cool. Like a night light .

An american ute. Interesting.

I like this idea.

I was wondering what this kit had on the inside.

Chevy Van The Open Road Camper version.

Looks great . well worth the fight.

Looks even better now.

John you could look in the die cast section and find a car or truck with rims you like. Most are oversized and will fit the larger inner diameter of these tires. There is also a Jeep quick builder that has some bigger dia rims.

I have no idea what kit it was from. The engine was just in the old parts box.

I like the look Ray.

It is good to hear you are on the mend with good results. I am OK with the Magazine dates whatever they are as long as it shows up in good condition.

Looks awesome.

A great tradition the last three years at the Detroit show. They will not give them to adults even if you ask to buy the kit.

The paint came out great. As a kid 80% of the Bugs had holes in the floor so it is spot on.

Jeff if it is warmer outside it seems to work better also. When I leave it in the basement in the cool months it does not work as well. I just bring it upstairs in the winter to strip paint. If the part was glued to paint or chrome and not scraped it will weaken the joint also. I striped a chrome engine my brother built as a kid, it fell apart took off the chrome and I found out it was clear plastic under the chrome.

Thanks for posting the pictures Ray. The box srt is very cool.

This is cool Ray. But what's in the box?

Congrats Ray. Enjoy the day and enjoy your concert. Maybe she will get you a Cobra.

What a good tease shot for the start. I like what you are doing with this.

Very cool, Well done.
