  1. I have quite a number of JF bodies mostly purchased at my LHS.This way I can examine bodies before purchase. Like some here,I have differing opinions on different bodies . I think it totally depends on who did the master .Some are outstanding (the Hornets,Courier SD etc.), some are very usable with a little work(55-57 Suburban), and a few are way too thick and only suitable for shelf models or curbsides. One or two are too much work to make anything realistic out of. Considering his reasonable pricing and the overall desirability of the subjects, I would recommend almost all of his stuff. I also know from friends who have purchased directly from Jimmy that he is fast ,honest and easy to deal with. That said it's always good to see what you're buying first hand, if you can, like almost anything in life !
  2. The green car is the Ron Ellis BB/A (later run as a UDRA gas and alcohol funnycar) from Mich. This car originally had a 'T' body and was the NHRA record holder in AA/A(called the TRICK T) around 1968-69. Completely different cars.
  3. The green AMX is a completely different car. Ron Ellis was a midwest gas altered guy that later ran a Vega S.D. in BB/FC
  4. Beautiful work !

  6. OUTSTANDING IRA !! STUPENDOUS !! Your builds always show amazing creativity and a great sense of fun . I'm always inspired by your wonderful models. Thanks.
  7. Very nice build and outstanding subtle weathering. Very realistic,great build Mitchell.
  8. Great job on an intense decal . I'm afraid I'd go crazy about half-way through and toss this body against the nearest wall. Well done Derek !
  9. Looking great . Beautiful engine Mark.
  10. Love Ghias, will be watching this one intently.
  11. Beautiful and very clean . Love the paint color and finish.
  12. Wonderful work Geoff. Neat, clean and exactly right. Lovely choice of colors and finishes.
  13. Thanks for the scan Alan. Beautiful info.
  14. Or the Yuill Bros J2000
  15. Very, very nice buildup. I agree that this is probably the nicest OOB example i've seen. Great work Terry,
  16. Beautiful as always Lyle !
  17. Beautiful Ken !! The paint is subtle and scale appearing .
  18. Way to go Jesse ! Congrats on a beautiful car and a pretty successful meet . You'll get 'em next year.
  19. It's ugly, overblown and has needlessly convoluted styling. What ever happened to simplicity and the graceful curves of a GTO or 275 GTB. A 599 looks much nicer to my simple tastes IMHO. It lacks balance and looks like it was designed by the Hot Wheels design team.
  20. Beautiful model, great bodywork and tremendous weathering. Very nice work Maik !
  21. Got mine today ! This body is perfect in a lovely white resin that looks like styrene. The body fits the hood.interior bucket and frame of the AMT Stude perfectly ! Outstanding and highly recommended. Well done Kevin.
