Definitely build the Chevette!!! I had an 82 Scooter 4 speed. White with a beige interior and it had optional carpet. What a great little car. Only needed oil changes and tires. One of the most reliable cars I ever owned. Can't wait to see what you do with it!!!

Looks awesome, Luis!!!

Awesome build, James!!! I like your fresh approach to restyling the Merc. Simple, elegant, beautiful!!! Looking forward to seeing more.

Hi, Lee. Sorry it's been awhile since I've looked at this thread. Funny thing about that race being rained out, hasn't hardly rained at all this summer until last night. What is your main interests in model building. I just started building again a couple of years ago after a long time away from the hobby. I build mostly street machines, custom, hot rods and I have started getting interested in drag cars. I would like to build some older dirt stock cars at some point. Do you have a club or any local hobby shops in your area? Well, I hope your next trip to Newton is without rain. It's actually not a bad place to live and a pretty nice track and facility at the Iowa Speedway.

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, currently I live in Newton, Iowa

Very nice build, Cole!!! Looks just right!!!

Very kool build!!! You have a very vivid imagination! The hotrodding and model building hobbies have a very bright future with builders like you!!! You are an inspiration to many of us! Awesome build, Ira!!!

Your first model looks purity sharp!!! From what I can see with a paint job with a spray gun, your airbrush work will be awesome!!! Keep on building, it gets addicting!!!

That engine is a piece of art all by itself!!! I love the whole package!!! Just plain COOL!!!
