Roger here is my Fotki site of photos Of the Nomad that I took at York drag reunion maybe that can help you on your build https://public.fotki.com/VincePutt/drag_racing/competition-eliminator/scotto--blevins-55-/

You mentioned you got the hood scoop from parts box and you didn't know the source. I think it came from a version of the Monogram "Badman" . some reissues of that kit had clear glass parts.

So very impressive!!!! Thank you for sharing! Vince

On my many visit's to Pikes Peak over the years I only once had a chance to stop by the museum. Is this a replica of Toronado in the museum?

Ron you are out of practice the links or Picture imports don't work

Does anyone have close up reference photos of the real car(s)

Steve it might be cool to do a simple diorama by putting the 3 mag wheels on, using a bumper jack and figure, and the 4th mag wheel on the ground.

I'd like the torino stripes, that would be cool in various colors!

For the people wishing and wanting one Jeff Ballard @ motor city resin makes an excellent repop of the 67. His stuff is top notch. you won't be disappointed. http://www.motorcityresincasters.com/67Galaxie.htm

I've bought items many times. I wish him well and hope he can return soon.

Tom Sorry to say that Blair passed away a year ago.

I can send you a good copy of the Phil Jensen article if you like. The First Gear diecast Holmes is very nice. hard to find now I bet. KFS out of England made a Resin kit of the Holmes 750 both the body and the wrecker parts. PM me I'll try to help you out.

Another fantastic project love the scratchbuilding thanks for sharing with all the how to pictures.

Very nicely done.Great details! I can hear those air lines hissing.

link would be helpful thanks. I thought the SS was only available as a real car 2016&17 is the SS and Impala (NASCAR) versions the same?

I never built a NASCAR model and I was wondering how accurate the new Snap kits (for curbside) and Glue kits (for full detail) are. Are they new bodies on chassis from the 90's or new tools? The Fusion has been used for a number of years and I think the SS since 2016. That being said what other cars could be done using aftermarket decals. Thanks for your help.

Thank you Dave!

I've gotten rather frustrated on viewing this message board since changes were made to the site in early 2018. I have a question, when I come to the board I use to see all updated topics since my last visit. Messages under that topic would be displayed if I wanted to view that topic by clicking on it. If not I would be able to scroll past it now every message appears making pages and pages of items that I don't care to read. How do I make new content since my last visit appear as by topic not by message? Thanks.

I got a phone call a few hours ago informing me that one of my very closest friends of the past almost 40 years has passed away. Don Farhni He was my mentor, Big brother, drag racing buddy, fellow prankster, gave me npiration and talked me away from the edge when I got disabled and saw no hope. He was wounded badly in Vietnam in the battle of Dau-Tieng in 1969. He never talked about his injuries or what happened. It took me years to get up the balls to ask him what happened. I watched the man take fistful of drugs at a time, crawl across the floor on his belly to get to the bathroom, drink steak shakes while waiting for new teeth. I believe that Greg will he was a fundamental part of getting Model Cars Magazine a big running start. Don left behind a sister and two brothers Keep them in your prayers Battle for Dau-Tieng, Base, 3Bde,25 ID 22-23 Feb. 1969 http://277arty.net/dautiengbattle69_3.html

never aw one myself even in picture form maybe they used the side door. I'm doing a phantom race car hauler.

What type of sleeper would be appropriate for a Ford LN 8000?

The real truck didn't have a vinyl top just a for better way to explain it it looked like trunk paint.

Excellent work great little Ford.

That is pretty cool! A little imagination and some great skills add up to one fine model.
