Very nice, a really great build of a kit you rarely see built.

Wow, what a response. Thank you everyone, feels good to be back! Raisin

Thanks, you are right from that angle it does look like the gas door is missing. In fact its just open, you can see it better from this angle.............

Its been well over 2 years since I have built or posted anything, but recently I was able to do a little bit with my modeling again. Built this Moebeus Hudson, its just a box stock build so dont expect to much! Thanks for looking, Raisin

I was planning on making the car show but didnt realize that there was a model show too. Maybe will bring along a few of my glue bombs. Thanks, Raisin

I am planning a build of Curtis Turners Southern 500 winning 56 Ford. The problem I am having is that although I have found many pics of the body and paint I cant find any shots of the engine or interior. Can anyone offer any insight into what Nascar racers of the era looked like? Did the engine have the dual carbs? were there 2 shocks per wheel? Were the stock door panels in place or were the doors covered in aluminum? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Raisin

Havent finished anything in quit awhile so I thought I would do a "quickie" build. Built totally out of the parts box its an old AMT 32 Ford Roadster channeled over the rails, and powered by a 272 Y block Ford mill. Built it like something you might see cruizing around in the late 50's. Even though its definatly not a big buck hot rod I wouldnt call it a "Rat Rod" More like "Lowbuck dont mean junk!" Thanks for looking, Raisin

Sorry, please disregard the post. I cant seem to figure out how to delete it.

Actually finished this one awhile ago, but I dont think I ever posted it. Johan Maverick kit with a Monogram Mustang engine bay and Slixx decals. Thanks for looking, Raisin

Nice save with helmet! Sometimes we need to be creative. Mustang II's were some of my favorite pro stocks. I even built a few myself but havent tried this one. Yours looks good as always. Looks like you got the stance just right. Raisin

My first try at a roundy rounder. Bob Sennekers "Bluebird" from the mid 70's. Started with an AMT 70 Camaro body and most of the rest is from the parts box or scratchbuilt. Decals from Bullring Graphix. Thanks for looking, Raisin

Nice job on one of my favorite pro stockers. Raisin

Took the 57 on its first drive to the annual Elvis show at the Gilmore museum. Thanks for looking, Raisin

Thanks for the pics, I had planned all year to make this show and saturday something came up that prevented me from making it! Oh well, hopefully next year!! Raisin

Thanks, the motor started as a 429 out of a Monogram Torino kit, the intake is from a Monogram Mustang and the rest is from the parts box. Raisin

I am never bored looking at your builds, and i love seeing "out of the ordinary" stuff. You have a winner there Marcos! Raisin

Thanks randx, the body is resin from Hendrix resins.........the rest is mostly from the parts box. Model Car Garage offers a photo etch set, thats where the trunk emblem came from. Raisin

57 Club Victoria with 460+ big block Ford, and tubbed rear end. Thanks for looking, Raisin

Its not getting into Canada that im worried about, its getting back into the USA!

Always an excellent show. Not sure I can make it this year though, new restrictions on border crossings and I dont have a passport. Raisin

Nice work......I am a fan of the early days of pro stock racing too. You really captured the "feel" of the era! Raisin

Thanks plumber, The hood latch was cut out of an AMT 58 Edsel. Yes I am working on changing the interior trim also, with any luck I can have some pics of that up soon. Raisin

Thanks everyone, I am hoping to get a little more done this weekend. Mr Obsessive.......the valve cover decals are from the kieth marks set, the rest are just decals I found on various sheets in my parts box. Raisin

Im from the garden spot of the state, Garden City Michigan. Home of.........let me think, there must be something here?.............hmm...............well, its my home anyways! Raisin
