  1. If you looked up "strange race car" in the dictionary, this car is likely to show up. How cool is that? Super...
  2. That is well executed. Could be anyone's Uncle or brother. Just a nice street car looking for a little action. Proper...
  3. I picture a Pro Street blown 460 in my future when this drops.
  4. Had no idea this was even committed to styrene. Great color choice and build.
  5. I'm with Stich on this. While each vehicle has its own settings for proper lamp coverage. Heights differ, sometimes dramatically. If all lamps were on the same plane there would be some funky looking trucks out there. Some lamps are simply far too bright. I put Sylvania Silver Stars in the Cav. They we a bit brighter than stock and no one ever hit their high beams at me in complaint. Meanwhile, I have hit others thinking they had theirs on, only to get hit with their true beams and I nearly went temporarily night blind. As for form factor and styling? Is it safety and visibility or fashion?
  6. Reelin in the years right there. Nice retrospective.
  7. No Kidding? Well, retirement is just around the corner. Funny stuff...
  8. Just did a trade with NitroMarty. He sent it quickly and packed it well. Let us hope he is as happy as I am.
  9. What a beautiful little car Marty. This reminds me of the old Monogram 1/32 scale gasser series. I think there were three in total. I know I built the Willy's and Fiat for sure. Bodies were in halves as were the engines. Real primitive. I'd like another chance at those today. You took a sows ear and turned into a nitro burner. No small task.
  10. A few new shots. The decals are almost done and they were a joy. Warmish to med hot water and almost no solvent. The silver decals on the engine cover were a concern. No need, they laid down very well. The sizing on the sides were perfect. Enough to wrap around in places and carry the line through the panel. Well thought out and the colors are sharp and bright. The closer it gets to finished the more bummed I am getting. I plan on a red one next and brake, fuel and harness will be added. But, I have a few more kits in front of that.
  11. Really? Or my old Cavalier. 13mm socket and a couple of smaller ones for the wires. 10 mins of all tools are present.
  12. Stupidity. And "Chimpchanic?" I'm stealing that if you don't mind.
  13. 1/16 scale Aurora funny cars and their accessories and or extras. That stuff is like gold at this point. I have a VooDoo Vega here and while it has part of the engine built and the decals are wasted, the rest is here and in good shape. The box is not terrible. I would like a new one. And a Pinto to go with it for the ultimate 1/16 scale starting line diorama. I can wish.
  14. 1/12 never looked so good. Superb craftsmanship.
  15. Awesomeness! Love the mailbox...
  16. Superb fade! I like it a lot.
  17. Looks great! Well done..
  18. WOW! This old Jo-Han kits are so spot on. The color takes me back. Well played Sir!
  19. TD rules! Great build brother.
  20. A really strange kit to me. Unrefined in many places for such a new tool. Instruction manual leaves a bit to be desired. On the plus, the decals are by Cartograf so.... Just a bit clunky in places and the plating is real metal. That means you just don't scrape it bare like the old stuff. It's tough as nails! I am having one heck of a time with the wheels to get them together. I think the Dremel is getting broke out tonight. It is said you need to build a kit twice. We shall see.
  21. Keep going, I can see the finish line from here. Looking good.
