Funny you mention the Groove Boss. It's one I'd be tempted to buy. I would really like to find the snow mobile and might go for the yellow Coke gasser.

I'm very impressed. The body modifications are very well done.

That looks really interesting.

First picture from the side, car looks 1:1. The Scale Finishes metal flake looks in scale. The application and gloss is perfect.

Question for the group. I recently acquired several 1960s kits that are mint but a couple have spray paint where the original owner tested a spray can. I believe the paint is Testors. Is there a safe way to remove it without hurting the print under it? I know it will be a slow process but its worth it to restore the box? If you've tried it and failed, please let me know what didn't work. THANKS!

I'm still having this problem. I'd love to figure out why the hyperlinks aren't working.

As for why the original contained a turbine? Remember this was the era where the turbines were big at the Indy 500 which ay the time was by far the biggest race in the US.

I need a thumbs up emoji. Looks accurate as a replica.

There's a lot to like here. If this is supposed to be a barn find, maybe cover the blower with a drop cloth.

How is the BIN with small details? I fear it burying details.

I have always found this car attractive. I'll admit, I'd love to attempt it but the opening closing panels scare me. Your build is very nice, one of the best I've seen completed I notice one question in the original design. The top of the back edge of the doors seem to create a huge blind spot. Does the door need reshaping although I'm not sure what rabbit hole correcting that would create. The convertible is also a tremendous design. Both of these designs, really should have been made into show cars if not luxury production cars. The Cobra fit into a class all by itself while these two would have been Corvette killers and could have competed with Aston Martin and other cars in that class.

Folks, please tell us where the store is. That way we know where we might want to go.

I'm viewing the forum on a Mac running 10.15.17 using both Brave and Firefox. Today, when I press to go to the next page, the forum freezes. It does work in Chrome. Any thoughts?

Dave- what store?

I'd much prefer these being separate. Most belts are two or three times thicker than they would be in scale. Having the pulleys saparate gives you a much better chance at scale realism.

Great article......wouldn't it be a blast if Atlantis now owned the molds. With that said, quick raise of hands to who else thought that.

This is really coming together.

I'm curious as to what kind of computer requirements you needed for this upgrade. I would like to learn a software that would create files for CNC as well as 3D prints.

Jairus.......so very good to see you post again!

Love it! Makes me want to start one.

In determining the color decide if you want to do the car as it appeared in the 60's or the restoration. This page has some great pictures:https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/media/albums/the-ron-bizio-truck.39559/ It appears to me the restoration is much closer to a blue pearl and the original was a blue metalflake.

I'm trying to build a specific historic race car and there's certain markings that are not available in decals and I'm not confident in my masking the area. I've thought about painting clear decal sheet and then cutting the desired shape and then applying it. Anyone ever try it before? Was it a success?

A bit more Atlantis news. From their weekend email:"The Boss Fink is not far behind. The KK Scorpion is about 3 weeks away along with restock of the crazy popular H1440 Jungle Jim Camaro. Look for some more news coming form that tooling.. All new body reissue not seen since the 1970s." The chassis was used with two other bodies. A Maverick and a Mustang. The best of these is the Maverick although it suffers the same greenhouse issues as the Camaro. I do hope the box art more closely reflects the box contents.

So far, the reborn MCM has been great. The build something rare concept is great. Maybe an article on dismantling a rare build up? Even a sub topic for people to post their in project rebuilds? It would also be useful to have a place to post questions such as where to get rare parts in other kits.

Very nice build of one of the more accurate funny cars.
