Reminds me of my '97 Grand Voyager.

Yes it is not distorted and very cool!

i found this old TYcopro Chaparral body in my HO slot stash.I decided to see if a modern LL chassis would fit and it did after a slight enlargement of the wheel wells.The wing was long gone so I used the spoiler from a junk AFX Porsche and mounted it up with brass wire.i used stick on vinyl numbers and a Sunoco decal on the wing(it was way too monochromatic for me)!

Perhaps one solution is to have all contestants fill out a card with special handling instructions or better yet have the modeler present at the time of judging so if the the judge wants to get a better view the builder could handle the model safely.

I like it!Can you post pics of the underside?

Looks good!Post some more pics!

That custom grille really does work with the rest f the front clip.I used photo-etched mesh with chrome "horse Collar'

Good point."50s and '60s interiors lend themselves to two or 3 tone painting that can make them stand out.

Wow!its gotten to the point that some members would lock out the rest of the member just to avoid trollish comments!Not cool at all!

A '36 Ford grille might fit!

Exactly!I am very secure so I do not get upset like some other forum members do.They take critiques as personal attacks when the majority of the time it was only meant to be helpful.In the case of "trolling' comments my policy is; Don't feed the troll!Ignorant and/or stupid comments will be ignored.Although I have never personally been subjected to them.After all this hobby is all about the fun and challenge of building model cars.Some people tend to lose sight of that!

Well you have to understand that I wouldn't post pics of a model if i wan't proud of it.Does it have flaws?Yes but I am pleased with it.Others criticism will not anger me as some of it is valid and can be improved upon on future builds.Other people didn't like the stance or the color but that is a subjective value judgement on their part.I could have lowered it into the weeds but I was going for the highboy look and that is exactly what i achieved!Now i have to determine what my next project will be!

I like it!maybe you can make another body so that it can be used to create a resin-cast version!

I'll get one for sure!Gunmetal gray with a red interior will look awesome!

It came out pretty much the way that I wanted it.I like the high stance and i could have had it lowered but i didn't want to!That is the nice thing about models...you can build them any way that you want!Not everyone one will like it but thats life!

Not perfect but i like it!if you are referring to the hood scoop,I had to cut a hole in the hood due to the high-rise intake and carb.I cut the hood scoop out of a '66 Vette,reversed it and cut it open in the front.

Well she's finally done!It came just as good as I hoped and the highboy stance is just right!

I decided to go with Corvette side pipes!Lookin cool!

i see that the left suspension is longer than the right.probably because they only turn left!Nice restoration!

I added the radiator,fan shroud,master cylinder and battery box.Next up ;mounting the bumper /grill.

Looks like this 1/43 diecast

Mocked it up today.tHe stance is just what i wanted!

I decided to go with a sand interior.Looking good!
