Old Buckaroo

Cool patch Ulf !

The windshield scoop has been built for the Pro Stock Grump Monza - This started life as a Promo out of a North Carolina swamp. If you've never tried building a model from a promo you're missing out ! The swamp Monza

I love the Bad Apple Vega !

Bill that AHM Sandhouse is very close to the old DRGW Narrow Gauge Sandhouse that was at Durango Colorado. Its a great kit, and "Model Masterpieces" also made a craftsman kit of the same. A lot of nice finds you've been turning up!

Got the "Motown Missile" pretty much mocked up , decided to drag the MPC 69 Daytona back out that will be "Eberhart - Nunn" car and get back yo work on it.

Vacuum forms are cool kits , although Ive never built an auto model - Ive built a lot of WWII Aircraft that way. Sounds like youve had a Great Weekend !

Mock up on the future "Missile" with MPC annual body, MPC glass, Johan Sox & Martin tub, Comp Resin hood, Amt 70 Challenger chassis shortened 2mm Bottom chassis is the MPC Cuda chassis, orange is Johan S&M, top is the shortened AMT Challenger chassis.

Wick I have sourced the amber pill bottles in the past for using as a pattern to make styrene tubs. These are "cheater tubs where they are not seen do to a rear seat panel. I opened up the stock wheel well to frame and covered that area with .015" styrene sheet and the piece inside the frame .030" Thanks for the tip and I will be looking at caps more closely!

Was supposed to be organizing my work area , instead I made "mini tubs" for a future "Missile build"

Well pass that knowledge on to others !

Do you have a small "drill index" (a set of bits in a case by size) to where you can find the diameter that slides in - for example 1/16" bit ?

Certain people in Seattle are running a close tie with "Florida man".

Replied to a modeler wanting to trade an item and actually heard back from him immediately ! Last three different inquires on trade items have been crickets from the original poster.

This has been one interesting and fun build to follow, just found it and started from the beginning. You really made this a custom that looks to rolled right out of the day. Thanks for the cruise!

That looks like an Pixar animation, Id been waiting for these to hit the market also. Thank you for the heads up on this kit.

AMT "Old Pro Nova" has Cragars, also the MPC 71 Demon comes with a set of 4 skinny ones, like the old "pizza cutters" that the old pro stocks and similar ran in the 70's.

Chuck One of our outside cats had four kittens, I named them Charlie , Alpha , Tango & Sierra They all have been fixed and no more spring surprises.

The beginning of the dark side for me , 67 RS SS 350 Camaro getting a big block installed without even a shade tree. Man I thought I was somebody with that big box of "Proto" tools back then. this was back in 1983 one year after I graduated.

Thirty five years ago today started it all. Made it official with the little blonde gal I met working at a 7-11 store on my way to the airport. We've had many adventures and not once has she ever complained about the 1/1 cars or the spare room of model kits.

A surprise package from a Nascar modeling friend

Well this is a really cool surprise to see. I cant wait to see this one progress. My wife has one of those coaches hid away somewhere !

Awesome work, the art inspired models have always been a favorite of mine !

I really like this type of modeling , nice work!

That is an awesome set up! Is there a club track that you go to race at ? A forum friend here is talking about putting in a pool table at his place - I'm trying to convince him a racetrack would be much more fun.

Ive gone through this several times - as you stated its normally the typist who made the mistake. Its a bit aggravating but easily fixed by a inspection. I had a title once come back from the state as a "1974 Chrysler Challenger" who employees these people. All they had to do was copy the out of state title which said "Dodge Challenger"
