Thanks fellas! I took it home last night to give to my wife. I built it for her. She loved it! Made me feel good. Later-

That is beautiful in the Fathom green! And I like.that you used the 70 Impala wheel covers. Very nice touch. Later-

Very nice looking Vette! The orange suits it well and the interior is perfect. This was one of my favorite kits to build. Later-

Thanks Nigel. She loved it. She wanted to know if she got to keep it. I told her that it was hers. She is trying to figure out where to display it. Later- -
Thanks fellas. I enjoyed this one. Tamiya makes some nice, well designed kits. Later-

Very interesting idea. I love the colors and the detail in the engine bay is outstanding. Later-

I found it Sam. I was looking under the Big Boyz section. I like the Emerald green on the wheels. They look good to me. I don't have any answers for your questions though. Too bad you don't have a spare piece of the interior or a sprue to test the paint on first. I'm sure someone has a thought on it. Later-

I just finished this build today. A Tamiya kit that I picked up unstarted for $15 and built for my wife. She liked the little car and picked out the paint. It is Rust-Oleum Marigold. The only changes to the kit were spark plugs wires (which ended up interfering with the hood, so I had to thin the center of the underside of the hood. It looks like the hood is sitting high in the front but this is actually a design feature of the hood. Hope you like it. Comments and criticisms welcomed. Later-

Nice! Later-

My shipment from Jimmy Flintstone came in and, as always, he threw in a freebie! I ordered a 41 Ford COE (with two grills) a Black Force Sedan Delivery and an Elvictamino body. He threw in a custom 29 Ford pickup. Later-

Wow! That's quite the haul of early stuff! Quite a few I wouldn't mind having. Great find! Later-

Here is where I got to today. I tried working on this tonight to get a bit further but the thing began to fight me every step of the way. So, in the box it goes for tonight. Later-

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Been doing quite a bit of painting of the various parts today. I'll post some pics tomorrow once I get some things assembled. Later-

Very realistic build! I have been examining the pictures to see the details in each part. I am building my first attempt at a drag car from this era and yours is the perfect example to follow. Thanks. Later-

Thanks. Too bad I posted it in the wrong section! Later-

Stopped at a vintage thrift shop on the way home from work and picked these up. The Mustang is complete and the Buick has a broken/ missing windshield frame. But the price was right on both. Already have the Buick pulled apart and in the Purple Pond. Later-

Amazing build! Beautiful paint. Later-

I picked up this Mercury Psyclone kit recently and dove into it yesterday. Got it primed in dark grey and shot with an old can of auto touch-up paint in orange. Came out a Copper color. I cut apart some Slixx decals and rearranged them to make the name "Backlash". Dug through my decal stash for the rest of the decals. Here's where I'm at today. I haven't built many drag cars, so let me know what you think. Later-

Thanks Pat! It's Krylon Marigold straight out of the can. Later-

Nice haul yourself Nigel! I like the Subaru. Later-
-
Picked all of these up recently and another of the Datsun 240z kits. Trying to decide what to use the Mod Top decal on. The RR, the GTX, a 68-69 Dart or a 69 Barracuda. Later-

Thank you Snake. What year Dodge pickup is it? In the last month I've picked up a 76 and waiting on a 72. Got any photos of yours? Later-
