The fuses are an amazing touch.

Take a look at the recent Slixx gasser sheets. I think Reid's name is on it as well as the Plymouth. As for the other markings, good luck.

NICE!!!

I've been tempted more than once to blow apart a 1/64 diecast and to detail it. It disappoints me how the quality of NASCAR diecasts has fallen off in the past ten-twenty years.

Thanks for the replays. I think I'll try a couple of the chuck less units.

Great work.....nice to see someone tackle the old resin. I saw the sanding discs. Can you share your source?

I'm in the process of buying four or five wrenches for my Dremel. Mine appear to have wings and fly away whenever I use them. I'm thinking of getting some magnets to glue is strategic places so I have a set place to return them to. While looking for the wrenches I also found brass replacement collets. Anyone have any experience in using non Dremel parts?

The two kits in the Charger box or a Monogram AeroCoupe (#3) which was sold in black as Dale Earnhardts, the #24 is a Polar Lights Torino. The blue car is a reissue of the Mercury Marauder. All three date back about twenty years.

Watching.

Those seats may be the best I've seen in a GT 40. The pedal assembly is a huge improvement. What did you use to create the rubber portion covering the shaft?

This will be fun to watch. This kit goes back to the days when Indy was the race of the year and innovation was king.

I salute you're efforts to get the front down. Most pro stock models set way too high.

This is going to be really nice.

Great build.....Paul Fisher made some great kits. I really miss his stuff.

I'm really enjoying this build. The machine work is great and the pictures explain what you did.

Nice build. This is a very detailed and fiddly model. Good job with it.

Very nice build. At first I was also curious about those decals. I believe you can find them from Chuck Boerner at https://www.facebook.com/groups/257487470322691/media/albums His email is stang1 something.

I think it needs to be chopped down about the same amount as the roof. That would leave either the T or the chopped grill from Tweedy Pie if you're going hoodless. What about a variation where you merged the tractor grill into the hood for a tilt forward piece with a fairly open view of the engine from the sides? Something like this but with the sides cut open? https://www.motortrend.com/features/the-strange-and-wonderful-saga-of-a-fiberglass-model-t-replica-getting-turned-into-real-ford-ambr-contender/?ssp_iabi=1677714023593

I remember Bruce from the old SLM days. Straight Line Modeler was a hard core drag racing listserv group. Bruce among others taught me a lot. I'm saddened by his departure.

Darn......whenever I pull out a long abandoned kit, I think of his bring out the dead. He always seemed to be positive in his postings.

Also you can use gift cards......pretty much the same thing.

I'm hoping to get some of the decals for the Garlits dragster. Revell's were to transparent for my liking.

Your IROC car is coming along nicely.

Agreed. This is not a good scheme for a car in motion. Can anyone identify ANY legendary livery in this finger painting?
