  1. Wonderful build. Wonder if Chrysler will ever return to Nascar?
  2. I miss Alan...... Great build, looks near perfect!
  3. I would avoid this kit like the plague knowing its origins. Your build has changed that perception. VERY nice, very clean build. I'll have to look for it. Mike
  4. I wonder if these will be in the clearance bin at Big Lots or Ollies first. Yawn........ Time to go back to sleep.
  5. So besides the one kit mentioned I have no interest in, any idea what the other one will be?
  6. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite builders.
  7. I'd love to have the Black Force. It would be cool to have the Ram Blur also.
  8. This is cool!
  9. Best use of a Citation I've seen.
  10. Did Revell ever announce the chosen kits? Seems to be taking a long time to choose the two wrong kits.
  11. It may be your first effort at a belly tanker, but it is a great job.
  12. Rear engined funny cars are illegal in the NHRA. There wasn't a rule prohibiting them until about twenty years when some guy named Force was talking about building one.
  13. How about looking at the most popular JoHan subjects. I wonder how much from the F100 could transfer to a stock Maverick?
  14. 8 out of 11 The lesser known ones got me to.
  15. Glad you took it the intended way. Was worried I'd offend. For a quick quiz, identify the makes of these four cars: If you had to look for the grill decals, that points to one of NHRA's failings. The answers are: Mopar Charger, Camaro, Toyota, Mustang and Mustang.
  16. I liked the Pro Mod......I love the funny car. Not totally accurate. I can actually look at this car and recognize it as a Mustang unlike the actual Mustang funny cars. I do wish current funny cars looked more like this than the slab thingies that are now being run.
  17. Looks good! I've often thought of doing the same thing but use the Revell/Monogram flat head midget for chassis and running gear.
  18. The Ormsby car always saddens me. Gary wont the championship in 1989 in a classic battle with Garlits. Gary died of cancer just prior to the Nationals in 1991. He was one of the last innovators in drag racing.
  19. Grand National was Nascars old name for what is now the Xfinity series (was Nationwide) when it was the Busch Grand Nationl Series. The other thing is the Cup cars where sponsored by Winston. Curios you could sell a beer sponsored car but not a cigarette sponsored series. It also appears the paintings themselves appear differently. My guess is the artwork was done in a reflective media such as watercolors or even oil and then photographed twice at slightly different angles. The cars appear identical as does the track but at slightly different angles, which is why I believe this. I have no guess why Elliot's picture is different.
  20. My ABSOLUTE favorite early Ford. Show car, rat rod, dragster, Bonneville car. So many ways to use that body. I can't understand why this is the forgotten Ford.
  21. Looks like a 1:1. EXCELLENT!
  22. That's the first Kool-Aid car I've seen built. If those are the kit decals, I'll have to watch for it.
  23. I kinda would like the Ferrari.......
  24. A good build of one of my favorite drivers. I always thought Chad had great potential. If he could had signed on with a top tier team that have spotlighted him instead of using him as a team development driver, I think his NASCAR record would had been far better. When he drove a Pontiac in Cup he often was best in class as all the Pontiacs were in midfield or worse. When he joined Roush's armada of five drivers, when he started showing great potential, Roush broke up the team and sent his crew to three other Roush drivers. Its interesting to see what Chad has doe since driving. His son, Jesse is starting to move up the ladder. I hope his luck is better.
  25. This reissue really disappoints me. I've been trying so hard to ward off this addiction but then this group of reissues. Vega- two or three, at least. Wedge dragster- one or two Flameout- two or three. One for me, one for my brother-in-law, and at least one for a stress reliever scratch build.
