  1. Dann - This is a fantastic solution. Misha let me know about it and I have been spreading the word and want to enter myself. I am wondering if you have a preferred photo file size? I am concerned that large file high resolution photos might bog down the system and be slow to send and load. Also regarding the Replica class, what do you recommend for documentation?
  2. Thanks Dave - Good work. I like the changes made and I am sure it will get even better. Appreciate the addition of Other Racing as that is one of my favourite subjects.
  3. I really like how you have posed your Woody.
  4. Very well built. Great looking race car. Love the turned out front wheel.
  5. It is 1962 again. Love your hot rod and very impressed with your application of the shift pattern decal
  6. Excellent and interesting engine choice. I definitely prefer the old school wheels.
  7. Great presentation. Looking forward to under glass photos.
  8. Up Date April 16 - With all the modifications completed I decided to paint, assemble and finish off the entire non-Woody portion of the model. I had predrilled the floor pans so I would be able to pin and locate the chassis at the correct position. I did notch the frame rails forward of the floor so I could bend it up to get the front a bit lower. As mentioned previously I hung three pedals from the dash. The steering column was shortened where it meets the firewall and the column shift rod was trimmed off. I must mention that the dash and steering wheel are very nice pieces with this kit. The dash has a separate chrome section with clear lenses for the gauges and the steering wheel has a chrome horn ring and centre emblem. Testors lacquer Phoenician Yellow was applied to the dash and steering wheel. The seats are Testors leather enamel. The green paint is a custom blend of Testors Colors by Boyd enamel air brushed. The wheels, tires, hubcaps and rings are from the Revell 32 Ford 5-Window.
  9. Very handsome traditional hot rod. Well built with perfect combination of classic parts.
  10. WOW - beautifully built, fantastic colour combination, have always wanted to build one of these.
  11. Great colour. Good looking model. Well built.
  12. Totally awesome. Would love to see in person. Maga.
  13. When I opened this post I was expecting to see a street or pro-touring Challenger resembling Sam Posey's Trans-Am race car. This is not just Sam Posey inspired - it is Sam Posey's Trans-Am race car. Very well built.
  14. Very well executed concept and build. A Rolls Royce grill would not look out of place.
  15. Great looking hot rod over all. Well built. I like the fog light up front and those very cool rear tires.
  16. Definitely agree that this is a very well built C3. It would have been fun to read the responses if you had swapped in a Ford 429. I don't image there have ever been many if any non Chevy engine swaps into Corvettes in any scale.
  17. Absolutely gorgeous !! Love your work.
  18. I like it a lot. Have one in my stash.
  19. I did not know what to expect when opened this post. I was very pleasantly surprised. A very well though out and executed project. I love the concept and the final look.
  20. You have really captured the look of my favourite A Coupe Hot Rods.
  21. Your very traditional Deuce is excellent
  22. Very good looking Cobra, The changes you made are very effective.
  23. Yes I like it. I went with my parents to look at a new one in late 61 or early 62. I think the "sporty" version was called the S-22. They did not buy it but I sure liked the bucket seats. I see you are a Falcon guy. So am I. had a 65 V-8 4-speed hardtop for a few years and sometimes wish I still had it.
  24. The images are very effective. I have a GT40 on the to do list. I have everything I need to build a version of one of the Canadian Comstock Team cars. Have not decided to do it as a Sebring 66 version or as I saw it race a number of times driven by Eppie Weitz. I bought the Thunder Valley kit over 20 years ago with the intension of building a GT40 MK-I but have yet to do so.
