The 2016 Nascar season is quickly approaching. As in years previous, Fox Sports is running a Nascar fantasy series that allows you to have a stronger interest in the racing week in and week out. If you'd like to join a modeling group, please consider joining the Randy Ayers group at http://www.foxsports.com/fantasy/auto/help/ If it requires a password, it is "glue" One helpful hint, read the instructions! There's a couple of quirks that makes it more than chosing the five drivers you thing that are going to finish the highest.

Gerald's color choices are a pretty good match for period color magazine articles. SS/DI had a great article on this car.

Enjoy! I tried to get my son into models. He'll buzz through a die-cast but never has finished a glue kit. Now that he's seventeen he's into real cars and girls.

Your stuff is pretty good. The speedster is quite nice. I'd like to see a in-progress build of the altered.

Not the overall appearance but the do-dads. Although if you were take the wings etc. off yours it could be an interesting to start for a street rod.

Try Evergreen Plastic. The tube will hold shape with a brass rod inside. I've bent the rod by using a metal jig and magnetics to hold it in place and then heating it to hold shape. The trick is heating it enough to hold the shape and not melt it. Mike

Absolutely brilliant.

I really like the Tumbler......really want the model. This just looks too much like the Batmobile from the Clooney Batman and Robin car. Way too many add on do-dads to look functional.

Slixx doesn't show them, but they're on the auction site. If you don't get those, the kit has been re-released a number of times. I'd get a newer set. The box is forty years old. If the decals are, they won't work.

A few thoughts..... Slixx has replacement decals. I'd use those. Put them with your hand artwork and it should be killer! There are several posts on the board that shows how to lower the car, its not hard but well worth the effort. I would also try to find some bigger slicks. That rear wheel well is huge compared to the tires.

This is a pretty good place. Welcome!

I hope this kit shows up at Hobby Lobby or my local hobby shop soon. The build ups of this kit are really nice.

I looked at Model Meister for the Webers.....I couldn't find them. Mike

I had one of those rules.....thought it was nifty when I bought but never used it......better go looking for it.

MCW shows the Cuda A F/X. I've had a couple of their resins before and can attest they are of highest quality. Anyone have a source for decals? Top quality injected Hemi motor?

Flintstone stuff is weird.......some of its thick slush cast unworkable hunks while other pieces are pretty good and some are excellent. I recommend looking at Flintstone at shows. Inexpensive and typically unique products. don't automatically discount it as unusable.

How close is that to the Hemi Under Glass re-issue?

Had both a Dodge Daytona and a Laser XT......great car. I do miss mine.

I stumbled upon this and am encouraged to pull out a long dormant project. A couple of thoughts: After being allowed to rust almost into oblivion, the Missile is being restored. Here's a link to a facebook page dedicated to its restoration: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1025140980845284.1073741834.810583018967749&type=3Interesting choice on bodies. When Revell's Cuda was released there was a lot of discussion as to the best 'Cuda body. I'm not sure the Jo-han is more accurate than the MPC body. Either are more accurate than the Revell. The MPC offers the advantage of the Motown scoop if you can find one. I'm interested to see how you handle the headlights.....I've got a good guess.The Revell kit is a good parts kit for this build. The chassis and interior are much more accurate than either the Jo-han or MPC. You can get the Revell chassis to fit the MPC body. Good luck on getting it to fit under the Jo-han. The interior builds up off a platform which mounts to the chassis plate. This makes using the chassis plate and the interior a huge challenge to fit under the MPC kit. I wouldn't attempt it under the Jo-han.. Doable on the MPC, but not a shake and bake.I look forward to following your build. Who knows, maybe I can move mine forward.

Curious as to how you spaced the drilled holes. They look dead on.

Looks fun.

MPC made one. Bring money, lots of money. Its in Rod Shop livery. One of the most expensive MPC annuals. I'd look at the AMT Charger which is a 1971. Better kit and affordable.

By George I think you've got it! This is a car I'd like to build (with a Challenger body) but always have stopped because the sides weren't right. Your paint job is the closest I've seen to being accurate for the Challenger.

Details please on the paint technique....

If this hint deals with a cover car from an issue or two ago, I'd be thrilled.
