You should be proud. I always appreciate seeing built Roth models. You now have a great collection. I had an ambition to build them all and had the kits and a couple of books about Roth's creations. But I am sad to say I have built none. Have started a Bandit and determined to some day complete it as it is my all time favorite.

I saw the movie yesterday and found it very entertaining. I think they did a tremendous job condensing about three years into 2.5 hours as well as being able to realistically visually depict the action and era. There are bloopers, untruths and inaccuracies but it does not talk away from the entertainment value plus it is kind of fun and even rewarding to spot those. Highly recommended.

WOW !!

Thanks Tim for a fabulous album of photos. I am not sure how almost a week went by before I noticed your post. I thought I was just going to see photos of new releases so was very surprised and pleased to also see the incredible models that were displayed at the NNL.

You are correct. I like it too !!

Being a huge Dan Gurney fan I had to check out your project and find out more about. You are doing a fantastic job on this project and I look forward to seeing it being under glass. Dan was the master of Riverside having won there many times. As has been noted' he had not raced for 10 years. Yet was able to start seventh and work his way up to second before dropping out with transmission problems while running third. The back story is very interesting. There is a good summary on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Gurney

Beautiful Deuce. I like everything about it !!

The Lil Coffin was definitely the wildest Deuce ever and you certainly built a fantastic replica

Pro-Touring is becoming one of my favorite styles and you nailed it !!

Very impressive

Extremely handsome classic. Well built.

Great use of the Ala Kart parts. The taillights and rear pan are especially effective.

Definitely one of the nicest looking AMT 40 Ford Coupes I have seen. Great job!!

Good looking race car. I really like the photo of it at the apex

For this project I am using the excellent Harold Bradford Historic Racing Miniatures [HRM] resin Corvette Z06 327 fuel-injected engine which may have been derived from the Revell 1969 Z-28 Camaro kit modified to fit the ’67 Corvette engine mounts. The 327 that came in the original AMT ’63 Corvette kit was OK for its time but lacked detail and did not fit well in the engine compartment in that its location was too far forward of the firewall. There was an optional big block in the kit and it appears they wanted to use the same mounts for both engines so they gave the small block a longer bellhousing and transmission. The real car has been restored back to how it was when originally raced. I was surprised to see that the emblem on the plenum cover was removed. Being a racecar I also noted there is no vacuum advance to the distributor.

I really like the contrast with your previous rat rod build. I like them both but prefer the later. With pickup in your subject line I suspect your post will soon be moved so glad I saw it early.

Yes I like it. Very well done.

Thanks Rob. Good to know. I thought the late 90s tool was very good and even started a full bumper conversion but happy to know I will not have to complete it !!

I was just informed that MPC had a full bumper 70 Camaro which I was not aware of. I found this small image on-line Also found this photo of an AMT pro-stock full bumper 70 Camaro. I wonder if the "new" future issue is related to either of these ??

Thanks Tim for your incredible coverage of an amazing event.

You did a fantastic job on this A-Rod. How much longer are we going to have to wait for the return of this fabulous kit ??

Enjoyed looking at all your models both domestic and imported. You are a very precise builder.

Extremely well built small scale IndyCar. I really like it.

Thanks guys. I have built two British sporty cars this year but still have maybe a dozen kits of other UK cars in my closet I hope to someday get around to building. BTW - you all have great avatars !!

Thanks guys - It was a fun one week project and I learnt a lot about T series MGs
