High octane

Put a Hemi in it!

I'll probably be wearin' my red Museum of Drag Racing cap. See you there.

Very nice, as my first car was a '60 Pontiac Ventura 4-dr. with the "vista" roof.

I really can't stand the looks of the '59 Ford or the '61 Dodge & Plymouths.

Yeah Carl, the Chicagoland winters can be tough as I spent many winters working outside doin' construction work. I did "hate" winters, but now I find that if I just accept them, they're not so bad. This winter so far has been pretty good and I shouldn't complain.

I'll have to check out the Barnes & Noble store tomorrow and see if they have this mag on their shelves.

Super Stocks were around as early as 1962 and maybe earlier according to my reference books.

While I would like to order more kits/parts from Modelhaus, I know that they would just end up on my "build pile" and it would be "iffy" if I ever used them. Guess that I'm pretty well saturated with kits both resin & plastic, that I'm tryin' to buy as little as possible in the future as I'm not a fast builder. I seem to have a lot of other things goin' on as well as model cars.

Pro Stock? Looks more like a Super Stock to me. And besides the number of letters, what's the difference who's name is on the box regarding AMT or Lindberg?

Very nice build on that "road chicken" David, as I just love dem Mopars!

I plan on being there Ken, and I hope to see you there as well. NIck

The Illinois Toy & Plastic Show is on the 28th of this month (Feb.) from 9 a.m. to 3 00 p.m. at the Du Page County Fairgrounds in Wheaton, Illinois, and has always been a good swap meet. Hope to see some of you there.

I think that there was a guy in the Dayton, Ohio area that made a working Christmas Tree a few years back. He's on the Spotlight Message Board occasionally.

If any of you are not happy with your JoHan kits because of the wrong dash, bad tail lights, missing tires, etc,. feel free to send the entire kit(s) to me and I'll be sure to take good care of them.

I thought that I had an extra '62 Dodge Dart body in my stash, but it turned out to be the '62 Fury body instead, oh well.

You got that right Michael as I made a few laps around the lake in my father-in-law's boat and it cost me plenty to fill up the tank again. Wow!

We had a demo on using tissues with white glue/water mix last Friday night at our club meeting on making tonneau/bed covers on pickup beds. I didn't watch the demo as I was busy gabbin' with other members. This method could be used to make tarps over engines, cars, etc. as well.

I believe Preston's Parts sells battery cables.

If you're having problems like that with your decals, I suggest that you spray the decal sheets with a couple light coats of clear lacquer and let them dry for 24 hours before using them. This should cure the problem I hope.

I believe that the GTX came with dual horns and they are mounted vertically on the passenger side next to the radiator.

Really nice job you've done on that Dart Tom, as I just love dem Mopars!

A lot of people enjoy driving their cars, no matter what they own or how much gas the cars guzzle.

Wow, extremely nice resin cast engines. It's just too bad that I don't have any use for them as I got rid of all my 1/16th scale kits while "thinnin' the herd."

It's too bad those prices won't be around this summer when I'll be drivin' my "gas guzzler." Oh well...................

Very nice build Shawn, as I just love dem Mopars!
