Another one of your fabulous looking extremely well built hot rods. I really like this one. I built a fenderless T-Touring with white wall slicks as a kid and hope to build another one day.

Incredible build and presentation. Exceptionally well done

Gold paint job looks fabulous

Great to see you doing a custom and I really like your choice of modification which you have executed very well. I am really looking forward to seeing this painted and completed.

Gorgeous automobile. Tasty colors.

Well built. Looks fantastic.

Your Valiant looks great as a speedster.

Great choice of modifications and colour

A friend recently got this kit so I knew it would make a beautiful model and you certainly confirmed that

Very interesting. Amazing number and variety of kits generated from the Venice tooling. Well researched and compiled history

Extremely well done build of a striking looking racecar. The Tamiya Mustang kit would certainly be high on the list of great recent kits. I see it is currently out of stock at Tamiya USA

Looks very much like the real dragster. Well done.

Very nice - makes me want to build one.

Thanks Bill - I really appreciate your comments as you wrote the definitive guide to building an Ala Kart model in your two part series Ala Kart a la carte: Part ONE, Compare and Contrast - WIP: Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum Ala Kart a la carte: Part TWO, Compare and Contrast (Nov. 2018) - WIP: Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum

Good looking custom version of my favourite generation El Camino

Your model is actually far better than the real thing. I remember going to a car show when these were introduced in Canada. They sold like hot cakes and I even considered trying to get a dealership. The Pony was followed by the Stellar which also sold like hot cakes. Both the Pony and Stellar also rusted faster than any other car back in that era. Hydundai sure finally got their act together with well designed and engineered cars. There is a really nice restored Pony in my city. I did not ask the owner why.

Thanks - Spacers behind the rear white walls really make a difference. Thanks Danno - I have been meaning to check out dscV17 so you have given me the incentive Thanks Ed - I still have two Rodder's Journal poster cars to build. Just started on the Hirohata Merc.

Thanks Carl

Thanks Bob

Thanks John - It is time you built another Thanks David. I was glad i was able to get the Bare Metal Foil Gold as it goes well with the kit decals Thanks Oliver Thanks Lee Thanks Larry

Thanks Dave - I found the article you did many years ago very helpful in trying to "turn a sows ear into a purse" Dave wrote - Back 2002, when the new tool Ala Kart was first released I did a pretty definitive comparison of old vs new. 16 years later I still consider the new tool kit to be a hot mess. Like something Trumpeter would come up with. The front tires are nice tho. http://www.bonediggers.com/2-3/alakart/alakart.html#kit

A couple more photos

Thanks David Thanks Chris Thanks David - I have to admit I am really enjoying just looking at it in 3D as it is a car I have admired since I first saw pictures of. Now it is mine. Thanks Jim

Thanks David
