Whenever I look at the stack of unbuilt '50 F-1 kits in my stash, this is what I hope they'll turn out looking like!

"You call this a sandwich and it doesn't even have any bacon?" If I ever get boxed in at Dean's and it's by this car, I'll know not to key it!

Almost looks like an armored truck!

I'm going to have to pick up a few more C-cab kits now... I've been poking around on your Fotki page, and I've gotten all kinds of ideas!

As is the norm for you, Fletch, she's looking great so far! Then again, a chopped A 5-window will never disappoint this fellow!

Evidently, it wasn't mastered! I guarantee I'd buy at least five or six of 'em!

Looking great so far! This ought to be a real honey when it's finished!

Rust, whitewalls, moon tank, 6 carbs... yeah, that works!

Seems kind of tame for a Tom Daniel kit, but I like it nevertheless!

Meatwad drives a Ranger, huh? Guess he must use Shake's back scratcher to work the pedals!

Thanks- whenever I take this to a show, all people want to talk about are the dam red windows! That, and the red headlamps. Again, Jersey Devil thing- I wanted the car to look evil and menacing, so I went with red tinted glass and headlamps. Yes, I know the tinted windows were illegal by most sanctioning bodies of the era- still, seemed like plenty of racers ran tinted windows!

Perfecting a model... then canceling it? Sounds more like GM than Porsche!

Hmmm... those are certainly tires! Seriously, I wish I'd stumble across stuff like that in my spares box! I can think of a number of uses for those! Help this guy out! I want to know what those came from, as well!

Good question! Here's the answer- Dave "Model King" Burket is based in New Jersey, and that's where this kit came from. When I think of Jersey, the following things come to mind: Dave (of course), The Misfits, Kevin Smith, Jon Bon Jovi, and the Jersey Devil. Since a "Jay and Silent Bob" funny car probably wouldn't have worked, I went with 'Jersey Devil', since it kind of sounds like a good name for a '60's drag car, anyway. I'd even planned to make 'Jersey Devil' decals with a font that resembled the Misfits logo, but couldn't pull it off. So there you go- the "Jersey Devil" theme is basically a result of my mind working overtime, connecting dots that are miles apart!

My drivers... '94 Ford F-250 (More of a backup and 'heavy lifter' than a daily driver nowadays, what with gas being $2.60 where I live currently.)You can also sort of see my brother's '78 Cutlass and '80 Delta 88 to the right of it. The T-Racer, my '98 Mercury Tracer LS (twin to the Ford Escort), which is my primary warhorse with 296,000 miles on the clock to date. I've also got a few projects in various states of disrepair... My '67 Plymouth Fury 4-door, complete with blown-out windsheild, which hasn't seen the road since 2003. My '81 Ford F-250 4x4... I just might end up dropping the body from my 2WD '94 onto this chassis. Just a thought. '46 Chevy 2 1/2 ton dump- this one will donate it's cab (and a few other parts) to a truckster rod, still a way off in the future. I've also got a '78 International Scout II Diesel 4x4 that is in very sad shape, but no pictures of it.

I'm wondering if using the chassis and floor pan from the Riviera (newer-tool '66 version) would be easier than strectching the Bel Air chassis to fit the Buick shell. I'm also wondering if it would even be worth the effort, as you'd still have the "everything's molded in but the dash and steering wheel" interior tub. I don't know if the newer tooled Nailhead 425 is underscale, but it does seem to look quite a bit better that other renditions. If nothing else, it isn't as underscale as the AMT '56 T-Bird's Y-block or the newer Ala Kart kit's Hemi!

I assume the chassis and other bits are from the Monogram kit, right? I've always liked the Continental coupe's shape- sheesh, I wish AAM was still around doing this kind of stuff!

I think I'd go for the '30's Bugatti kit... and leave myself a good decade or two timeline in which to finish it! Yeah, I think I could build a Pocher Bugatti to a somewhat mediocre outcome in ten or twenty years!

I've always wanted to tackle a Pocher kit but, man, I don't know... seems like it would be a whole lot less effort to get my 1:1 '67 Fury back in running shape!

Evil. I like it!

The barely-discernable 'Trenton's Texaco' decals are also a nod to the whole Jersey Devil thing.

You are working on a resin Amphicar! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

What does that kit sell for? I'd love to build a '57 Lincoln!

I've got an action figure of The Bride from Kill Bill- Maybe I can talk her into helping out with a few of my 1/18 scale die casts. I hear she's pretty laid back, unless you shoot her in the face on her wedding day... but I guess that's to be expected.

Off topic, yes, but a cool story nonetheless!
