I saw a company once that has them. Does anybody know who. They are the small kidney holes. Later-

Nice work on the engine, Hans. Got any photos of the whole car? Later-

Well, I may be young but my wife will always be older than me. Oh wait......that didn't come out right...... LOL. Don't think I don't remind her! All the time.. Later-

Well, to make you all FEEL old, I was born Jan 13, 1969. Aaahhh, those were the days! Do you guys have any photos of these old rides? We'd all love to see them. Later-

Tucker2000- Harvey- I sent you a PM. If anyone knows him, please let him know to check his mail. Work has gone slowly on this project. I had to rework the suspensions to get it to sit more correctly. I have it dialed in now. I have been working on getting the interior finished. I need to take a day soon and do some painting on all of the "fiddly bits". I would post some pix, but some JERK broke into my house on Dec 6th and stole, among other things, my digi camera. I've got to figure out my daughter's old one now. I'll post some progress soon. I promise!! Later-

I'm sure he will cherish it. And yes, the best gifts are made. It turned out beautiful. Later-

Simply beautiful work. I like the whole thing. Now I need to find the link to your 4 door. Later-

I think you're right. Those adjustments ARE subtle............ They look good. Later-

Randy- Are you sure on this? And satisfaction is the prize... Later-

Given my friend's collection of kits (the part is his and he wanted your help identifying it) I would have to say it probably came from the Eagle. But I had that kit years ago and I don't remember it being molded in this color of plastic. It almost looks like the color of resin. Any other ideas? Any photos to go with the ideas would be nice too. Later-

Curious to know what kit this part came from. Do you recognize it? It is 1/24 or 1/25 scale and molded in an off white color. This piece is unpainted. Any help is appreciated. Later-

Not sure how many of you guys get up to the TRADE section, so I thought I'd post a notice here. Got one sealed inside for trade. Please look at it, if interested, and let me know. It's taking up valuable space on my shelves. Later-

OK. Thanks. Now, does anyone have one or two they'd be willing to part with. Or how about the whole AMT kit, Casey. What do you want for it? Later-

That looks FANTASTIC!! But-WHEN are they coming out?????? I mean, a man can only drool for so long. Later-

A friend of mine is looking for a kit that he says had a decal showing four "two cards" and says "Deuces Wild". Anyone know of such a decal in any kit? Got a photo of it? Later-

Marcos- Whether you build F-1 cars or not, it looks lie the gentleman found the RIGHT person to build his!! You are doing fantastic work! Keep it up. I'm sure he'll be extremely happy with it. Later-

Beautiful work so far. I love the color choices, especially the Aston Martin green. Nice job cleaning up the engine bay too. I think the spark plug wires are a nice custom touch. I'll be watching your progress on this. Later-

That is beautiful. I love everything about it. Later-

Someone with my sickness!! We should start a support group. Later-

I agree about the golden opportunity.Hope I do a great job. Now i have to put the K member back on. LOL Later-

Wow!! That just made my night. You can bet that I'll be hitting you up for some reference info. I loved your car from the first time I saw it in "Drive" magazine. As a matter of fact I found that issue on a table at a restaurant in Spokane and was looking through it as I ate. When I came across your car, I took the mag home with me with the intention of building a model of it. Unfortunately I don't get much time to build and I have many projects going, so it is slow, at best. Nice Dart you have there too. Later-

So, I walked into one of the local "independently owned" service stations in my area this morning and saw, up on the shelf, behind the counter, a built up Javelin. Having never seen it before I asked the owner (who I know casually) about it. He said that he built it years ago. He said that the hood used to be displayed in the open position but that his grandchildren broke it. I'm not sure if he glued it shut since then. I asked if I could look at it and he handed it to me. I looked it over a bit and offered to buy it. He told me that he wasn't ready to part with it. From what I can remember of what I saw for less than a minute this morning and what i have looked at just now on-line it appears to be the old JoHan Javelin AMX Snap-Tite kit. (Dark Green and white box art car) It appears to be stock, cleanly built and complete. His is painted a light brown with the engine painted green (he showed me from the underside). So, here comes the stupid question that no one can accurately answer. What is a ballpark figure something like this would be worth? I know it's whatever you're willing to pay, so please don't answer with that. I'm just looking for a ballpark so that if he ever says yes, neither of us will get taken. (know what I mean?) I've never seen one of these but I've known they are out there and just never looked into prices of getting one. Got any help? Later-

That is a sweet build. I love the paint job and the sleeves for the rear wheels. Did you get the idea for the 2 door conversion from that "How to" article years ago when these first came out? I wanted to do this conversion years ago when I first saw that article, but I've since gotten rid of my two kits. Your granddaughter will love it. How did you do the pattern on the center stripe? Later-

WOW! Nick, that looks great! Your skills have improved tremendously over the last couple of years. I hadn't noticed that this was your post until I got to the bottom. I went back to the top to double check and that's when I realized it was yours. I am amazed.You did an excellent job. Later-

I'm doing this from an article in a mag on a 1:1 car. The car is a current build of the 70's style. I also have some older Hot Rod mags from the mid to late 70's that have quite a few Street Freaks in them. I just really liked the look of this particular car when I saw it in the Dec 2009 issue of "Drive" magazine. Later-
