Great to see again. As always - fabulous photography.

Great looking salt racer and I especially like the photos.

Many outstanding Foxes. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Alan - Good to hear from you. Cheers - Phil

Great looking traditional Deuce Hi-Boy Roadster. Excellent combination of components and colours.

Thanks Tim I really appreciate your coverage of product news and models at NNL’s.

I like it especially the carbs sticking out of the hood.

Thanks Tim. I am definitely getting one of these and will likely build directly from the box which is saying a lot for me as I cannot remember the last time I had the urge to do so !!

Now that it has taken place, I am looking forward to a report on the 62nd All Japan Model & Hobby Show (2025)

I have really enjoyed checking out your builds. As a kid I was fascinated by the altered wheelbase MOPARS. I did build one from a 64 Dodge and in my mind's eye it looked pretty good, but I am sure it was pretty crude compared to yours.

Impressive build. Great looking instrument panel.

Great livery. I really like your photos. I saw Jochen Mass race an Arrows at the 1979 Spanish GP.

Good hints from Bart. I still have not decided if I like the format of the Revell of Germany instructions but will persevere. Something I have done is to separate the engine compartment top from the body for separate painting and to be able to display the complete rear engine assembly which is very interesting.

Excellent pair.

Inspirational. Beautiful build. I have had one of these in my stash for over 25 years. It will definitely get built some day.

Excellent project. Very well done. Looking forward to underglass photos of this amazing car.

Very nice. I have a 1/24 kit so yours is inspirational.

I really like your build. Always great to see an AMC.

Cool to see. I have neighbour who has one of these he has owned since new. He has become more of a Porsche guy but still takes his first love out for a drive now and then.

Here is a link to photos I took at the Monterey Historics when all the still existing Chaparrals were present Chaparral album | Phildaupho | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy.

Somehow missed this one. Very good looking build. I never had a full detail Chezoom. That is one cool looking chassis.

Very nice looking model. Refreshing to see a stock build. 55's were such good looking cars.

I really like everything about your builds. Those wheels on the truck are absolutely gorgeous and perfect.

Your sedan delivery collection is spectacular.

Thanks James Thanks Dave Thanks Ken - your experience was so much like mine. It may have been the fall of 1967 that myself and three friends attended a major racing event at the Westwood Circuit outside Vancouver BC. At the Sports Club of BC booth at the Pacific National Exhibition one of my friends had put his name in for a draw that would give lucky spectators a ride in a racecar for fast laps around the track during the lunch break at the big race. We were all excited when we heard his name called to come to the pits for his ride. Wanting to share in his experience we all went with him and lucky for us three of the people whose names were chosen did not show up so we volunteered to take their places. There was a mad scramble to get to the most desirable race cars. I thought I had really missed out when all that was left was a Mini Cooper S at the back of the grid. The driver was determined to make my experience memorable by demonstrating how he could get ahead of the more powerful cars through the corners.
