WOW....great work!!!!! Elmo holds a place in my memories.......his garage was a cinder block two car shop just off Tryon in Charlotte. Very simple place but made about every race he entered. As teens we'd drop by mid week and they'd allow us to look at cars and talk some racing. Elmo and Frank Warren we two good guys that worked hard to make a living in NASCAR. Thanks for sharing!!

A AMT 67 Mustang is very close.......Torino 100% wrong.

COOL!!! I love the Deco look......fine craftsmanship with cutting edge tools!

That looks like WORK!!! I'll be watching!!

I brought up the insurance thing in an early post but that was pages ago.......it will be worked out...doubt we will ever know what happened.

I'll second that and add the MPC STP 'guppy' Indy turbine.

My favorite is Duplicolor #1699 sealer or Tamiya silver....both work fine.

Good deal. A buddy of mine built that one on commission.....it's a bear!!!

Very nice job!!!! I have wanted to build since it first came out years ago!!!!

No inside info here on the Revell tooling........But from my Analyst days at a worldwide bank......China feels anything tooling wise done in China is , in the end, owned by the state.....or they have a lean on it. It's a complicated quasi private and government partnership that is troubling at best.

WOW a real grail

Thinking HLJ???

I have that resin body kit.....doubt it will ever look that good unless I send it to you!

Mine is standing in for a Jag of the same era. It's Mad Max Fury road vehicle. I was just noting that they are still out there on the secondary market. Post some pics of your builds.......I'd like to see. thx

That kit has been sold as Entex, Revell and Minicraft....maybe others. I think it was a Hubley originally. I have gotten them off the auction website for less than a new retail kit sells for. I got this one a few months ago for $12 IIRC....

Firefly is where I know him. RIP

Normal 'Anti-whatever I don't like' rumor mill.........

Fantastic work!!!! I build some On30 in hopes of a layout someday......

Freelance with influence of the D&RGW. thx

Prayers to you and your family. I can't say I have been there......but I had a major issue a few years ago and went from active independent guy to wheelchair bond Dependent person overnight. So hang tough, don't feel bad when you ask for or need help......I am sure you lent a hand when you were able. A guys ego takes a beating sometimes when we have major changes like this. I hope for you the best.

Cool stuff!!! I was in N scale in my younger days.......Started with a Revell N scale set!!! I have moved to O scale 1/48 so I can still see my work!! These are On30....

I had to give up N.......in O now!! Nn3 are you using Z scale mechanicals?? I do some On30....love to see your work.

Thanks Mike!!! R2.....find the coupe tooling.....Plez!

Great work.

I supplies my mint Dragon Wagon to Bill Lastivich so the kit could be retooled in China. After that project I was asked if I had a number of other Tom Daniel kits I would be willing to send to them. I agreed but I never heard from them again. Not real long after that Bill passed away. I don't think there has been a TD kit retooled since then. Dog Catcher was one project that was started but never came to market. It makes me think Revell was not happy with the ROI these kits provided. I'd buy a Rattler, Sand Shark or any of the TD modified kits. We didn't need another Cop Out but it must sell or we'd not get it ever 3 years!! Revell....please take a chance with Rattler.......Trick T or other TD kit not seen in 20 plus years.
