Cool! That second image is kind of the look I'm after.

If only all Chevrolets met with such an unfortunate end. Yeah, you heard me! I said it! Ya want some, let's go!!!!

My battery posts have no corrosion. I TAKE CARE of my vehicles!

I've built a few of these myself, and I've never been able to wring such a nice replica out of one. Nice job, Lee! I really dig the KH wheels.

The only reason I don't buy more stuff from Norm? My skills won't do his product justice!

I'd like to see the field more evenly split, as well. Yes, the cars aren't real "Chevrolets", "Fords", etc., but if there were a more equal number of each 'make', I'd really be interested to see if Chevrolet was so dominant in the series.

Just picked up two of this kit today, so I have to say very timely! Very cool build.

Very cool update, kind of has a Euro flavor to it, too.

John, you owe me a new keyboard... I just ruined mine drooling all over it!!!!

Wait until you see my Bugatt-Smart!

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!

How's this for outrageous... an Aston Martin that's nothing more than a badge-engineered Scion, and looks like a tranvestite Smart!

Thanks! Good to know, as I plan on weathering the old Monogram kit. How weird would a rusted out 35B look?

Not as exciting as a 'halftime' figure 8 demoliton derby!

Absolutely nada. But I just like to point stuff like that out to the guys who want to 'Keep NASCAR American' and boot Toyota, without even realizing the Toyota (production model) is the only American built car in the field. As for the stock cars themselves? They're all American built, and as I said earlier, if other foreign automakers want in to NASCAR I'm all for it! It'll create jobs here, and it might add a little (but not much) variety to the NASCAR field. NASCAR stokers are ALL American cars... even the Toyotas! The modern stock cars, be it a Ford,Dodge, Chevy, or Toyota, are all built by guys named Bubba and Jake,- right here in the good old USA. To me at least, the origin of the company the car is supposed to represent is pretty much irrelevant. I just think some people read too much into the 'brand' thing.

Can't find the info online, or in any reference books, need to know if the body is aluminum or not. I'm assuming it is, but I've been wrong before.

Yeah, that sucks. Lindberg can never catch a break! Maybe a resin caster will do an '11 transkit for the Lindberg kit, but I'm not gonna hold my breath!

Yes, that does help, and reference pics to boot! Thanks for the info, guys!

Thanks Dave. I kind of wondered if that kit was the source.

I picked up a grab bag of spares just before X-mas, and this was one of my scores- It has "Ford V225 Diesel" on the valve covers, is that a reference to the horsepower or displacement? I'm assuming it's from an AMT kit, is this correct? And lastly, should it be painted yellow?

There ya go... the Charger and Impala are built in Canada, the Fusion and Mexico,and ironically, the hated 'danged furriner' is built in the US. (Last I checked, anyway.)

Going back to an earlier point- Why not let other foreign makes into NASCAR? I seem to remember seeing vehicles as unlikely as Jaguars running in early NASCAR events. Heck, when Dodge got back into it, weren't they technically a German automaker? I have no idea where the Chevy Impala is built, but the Ford Fusion was built in Mexico. "Foreign" cars in NASCAR are nothing new. Deal with it, kids! I don't care what country the company is based in, if they want to set up a NASCAR operation and employ Americans, I'm all for it!

Love it!

The wrecker is the one DOH kit I'd love to see back! Too bad the tooling for the wrecker body was destroyed years ago. Sigh...

Yep- it's an older episode, but still pretty good.
