Still planning on getting there. Looking forward to it.

Sorry Rob! I was just looking at the F.A.S.T. site and realized it's just being reorganized. Try here it might help http://www.secretsofspeed.com/

The four banger was hopped up quite a bit in it's day and even nostalgia rodders now are using it for something different. There were overhead valve conversions, updraft carburetors and any number of things done to them. Check out this site to see more info. http://www.hotforhotfours.com/

A couple of things. First: I believe that Revell tried to appeal to the younger builders with the Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Acura Integra kits. I don't believe they did very well. Don't know what to make of it - just putting it out there. The other thing is in general, the younger crowd aren't as passionate about cars as we were. I mean when I was of age everyone and I mean everyone, boys and girls alike, wanted to learn to drive and wanted a car. Virtually every male was a car nut to some degree. Now I know of whole families where the kids have not learned to drive. They could care less about cars as long as someone has one somewhere to drive them to where they want to go. To them a car is like a stove, an appliance that somebody else uses to serve you. Now don't get me wrong, I know there are plenty of car crazy young people as evidenced by the younger model builders on this board but it's not as pervasive as it was 30 years ago. And this lack of car passion that we had then is bound to affect car modeling now.

Wow! That's quite a variety of cars. Each and every one of them well done. I especially like the Corvette being a Ron Fellows fan as well. And I have a soft spot for VDubs...

Not only midgets but hot rods would look spiffy with some of these numbers on 'em. Many possibilities for these decal sheets.

Love longroofs! Especially this one since it's a FORD and because it's a 59 - a very good year indeed. Great job on this one sir!

Wow! Beautiful build! Love seeing Can-Am cars built up.

Thanks Dave. We are hoping to find out more this Thursday when she goes for more tests but it was just too close to travel day to NNL East to take chances. Fingers crossed for next year.

Hey Dave. I was supposed to be going. Motel was booked, looking forward to the trip and cheeseburgers and lots of buying and checking out eye candy but unfortunately my wife has become ill and I've had to cancel the trip. I will be thinking of all of you Friday night and Saturday and will just start looking forward to next year's trip instead. I'll be looking forward to pics and hearing what next year's build themes will be.

Really like the lime colour. Love the front end treatment too.

Love the bare metal look to this model. Good way to go with it.

I can't think off the name of it right now but it is the deluxe version with the rare black bar bug deflector....

Gorgeous GT40 Eric! You did a great job on those swooshes. Beautiful model.

Cool beans Curt. That's a fantastic little build! Love the older Porsches like that especially the racing versions. Thanks for sharing.

Ahhh! Doc, don't tell me this. I've had tp pull out of going to NNL East this year and now I'm going to start having dreams about walking hamburgers grabbing models and buying too much aftermarket stuff? Wahhhh!!!! ...

Neat truck, James! Really like the colour choice.

Very cool! I like this custom Imperial. Great job.

This is not intended as mobile deivce bashing but I much prefer this 19 inch monitor hooked up to my old fashioned tower. I just don't know how you can enjoy pics and stuff squinting at a phone and those tablet things are only slightly better. A friend was showing me her new granddaughter on her phone. Well I guess she's cute but I would be able to tell alot better if the pic was on that computer monitor over there (3 feet away from us). My wife and I were discussing this today and I said our generation was always being told we would loose our hearing because of the loud music we listened too. This generation is going to loose it's eyesight squinting at all these mobile devices. As I said not meant to be bashing. I'm really glad these things work out for you guys but for me I'll take this 19 in screen anyday.

That is awesome! Great build and I really like your interpretation. Job well done sir!

Nice clean build, Robert! Sweet little Ferrari.

Love those trans am Mustangs! Great build of this one, Andy!

Yep! I can just see this thing slicing throught the zoombie herd....er.. I mean the Zombie Horde. Cool build Donn!

Indeed, a fine little M.G. Love seeing classic cars done up like this.

Very neat concept, Randy. I like Mr Bones leanin' on the truck with his hat on.
