Cooler than the other side of the pillow... The weathered wood on the top rack is a nice touch. Bob

INSANITY!!!!! This is going to be off the chain John. Bob

Take a look at the vintage instruction sheet and see how many more parts there are for this car as compared to the DOH and Street Charger kit. Or, just enjoy the images. None of us will know how many parts have been restored [hopefully all], till we tear open our kits when they arrive. http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/mpc-5/mpc-petty-nascar-ch/001.html Enjoy Bob

I just bought one off eBay 35.99 free ship. I'll post pix unless someone beats me to it by mid week. Bob

Not quite. If you've ever seen this kit in the box you'd know there are at least 3 more trees of parts as compared to the DOH and Street Charger kits. This kit is detailed to the MAX and when it is released I hope someone will post pics of the trees involved. There really are that many more parts. Not only that, but this kit is what these molds are all about. The Street Charger and DOH kits were afterthoughts. Bob

Thanks Jonathan, I'm looking for one now. Bob

I wonder if they will make FRS decals for it. My brother has a red FRS and I would like to surprise him with it. Does it exist?? Inquiring minds. Bob

To me this is good news. Clear plastic is difficult to work with in some instances and I was going to paint mine at any rate. I can see where some are going to be upset with the body being issued in an opaque plastic and I feel a little sad for them. Let's hope ALL the original parts have been restored and bring em on!!!!!! BTW, this will be my FIRST NASCAR build ever. I picked a good one. Bob

Order is forthcoming. VERY nice gear indeed sir. Bob

Best years worth we are likely to see Ira. The creative spirit continues to guide you, keep on building em. Bob

No offense taken bud. Now Bill!! I take offense to everything he says. But I can since we are pals. I guess I'll wait for the Petty car. Bob

That diorama is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!! Bob

Okey Dokey..... The guy may have been repeating what he had heard. Even at Club MAMA prices it was still 24.00. I passed and bought a few other kits instead. Like I need em. I was going to get this as my FIRST ever NASCAR build but I think I'll wait for the 1/16 Petty Charger instead. Bob

Bill and I were told that the reason for the sloping fenders was being yanked from the molds improperly. Or some variation of that idea. We were talking at MAMA to a guy who said they are much better and that the sloping issue was no longer one. Engine fit problems aside. Bob

WOW! And to think I was bitching when carbon fiber slalom skateboard decks came out a few years ago and they were a measly 450.00. Pound for pound i think we skaters got a great deal in retrospect. Bob

Checking it out. Pretty cool concept. Bob

Sweet build Drew. I am digging your album as well. A very nice representation of Garlits through the years. Since Large Father is my all time fave I may be biased a smidge. I built the first rear engined car and posted it here a while back. I'd like your feedback on that build if you have the time. Bob

If I hit that bear on my bike............You'd be reading about me... I call BS on that till more evidence is forthcoming. Put it another way. I "Hit" a Junebug in the late 80's on my 73 ULH. I was almost thrown from my bike. From a bug. Bob

More than some, certainly less than others. I only have kits I truly wish to build. Quite the inventory some have. I wish you would all live so long and build them all. I have more but they are elsewhere and valuable so they stay with my comic and original art collections. Bob

Really great opportunity to see your progress over time Nick. This is a very cool build. Bob

SUPERB in every respect. The whole vibe is perfect and it looks like it's ready to cackle. Very, Very nice.. Bob

WOW!........................ I'm getting one. Thanks

20 years older than her car? That means I'll be driving a 45 something or other. Not much I like from the 40's mind you. She's a real firecracker though, God bless her. Though I think he already has. Bob

Animation is my first choice in television. Yet, oddly nothing comes to mind in kit form... Figures, yes! Vehicles......... The Jetsons car/thingy.... I'd like to see the Metalocalypse figues in styrene. Or ANYTHING from Adult Swim for that matter. Ren & Stimpy would be great. I have so many favorites. Bob
