When I return the super clean to the contaner, I use a coffee filter to strain it with.

The wheels in the Revell kits are quite nice. The problem is if you find an original kit, odds are the tires are on the wheels. If they are, at least one of the wheels will be attacked by the tire.

The parts in these kits are very well detailed. The body is better proportioned than the AMT. The engines pose problems in the way they are molded but they're worth the effort. There really isn't must to say negative about the kit. It will be nice to have this kit for parts if nothing else.

I rarely look at dioramas. I'm glad I did this one. Its a beauty!

Love it.....there's been a lot of interesting slot car bodies that never made it to being a scale model. This is a great build.

This build is very nice.....I agree it captures the 1:1 feel so well.

How did you print the decals? Car looks really like a local bracket or lower class race car.

Very nice build.

Dan, I don't think that was the car. Pete died in 1971 driving a full bodied car with a weird mid frame downforce system. Something broke, and all ............broke loose. A series of failures resulting in Pete perishing in the carnage.

Where's the list? George Carlin is curious.

It's interesting they are releasing the Copperhead. I thought they were re-releasing the Tommy Ivo dragster. Is this an attempt to get another kit out of the molds like the Tom McEwen fantasy wedge dragster? I guess Round 2 is trying to get a last run out of the Chevy II AWB before the Moebius gets released. As for the Lotus, I agree the 1963 Lotus. It would have been nice to have the 1968 Olsonite Eagle instead.

It is obvious you know the subject well. You're replication efforts and scratch building is amazing.

Once again Dan you throw out something that is a great detail I'd never had thought of.

One thing to remember about Chuck and several others, they've been doing this a LOOOOOOONG time. I first saw Chuck as a show somewhere between 1995 and 1998.

How heavy is it? If it was me making it, I'd use a solid rod to cur it from. Far easier than fabricating end covers. It doesn't have the typical lathe marks on it but it could be well polished.

This review makes me even more anxious to see this on the shelf.

I wonder if this will feature a statue of Chip Elliot without a helmet on?

I think the Cherokee was the first model I ruined. The AMT funny cars I remember. Funky frame, only Donovan 417 molded in 1/25th scale. The Koo-Koo-Kar is a new one on me.

I've got a Sherline in the basement. I've got some end mills. What I lack is your super ability. WOOOOOOW!

The covers for the jars is VERY clever.

As a designer it gives a larger area for product or sponsor identification. I believe that the change should not be made at this time. I think the Next Gen cars need to get on the track and get fan support before such a large visual change. There are too many changes already that the hardcore fan will object to (a center lug nut versus five, etc.). This will give fans another thing to say they don't like. I believe it looks too much like many international series. If it were me, if the decision was made to move the numbers I'd go halfway between what I've seen and the current positioning. That would give more sponsor billboard without being very noticeable to the average fan.

When Ollies had these they had several other really nice kits. I think they got these as part of the Hobbico disaster.

I see a bunch of Doug Thorley Chevy Too Muchs being built!

Please......please, fill in those T-top panels or offer plan plastic fillers to make it a hardtop.
