Thank you! I thought the post was invisible!

Looking for info on the kit with the red car on box top.

I don't either. I'd like to hear eBay's side. There is always two sides to anything. I don't get all the clever nomenclature for ebay & paypal. Why not just call it the anti-Christ!! It just seems so immature.

Lots of fine detailing going on there ! Wondered where you've been. Welcome back.

Whew!! I feel somewhat better now. Maybe it was my medication wearing off.

All the new kits out and proposed has me overwhelmed! Heck I haven't even bought the '48 Ford custom, any of those midjets etc. I have so many kits now I could build for a 100 years LOL !!

I think I'm the closest with the front end as I've ever been.

You could also add the '33 Willys that had SWC on the doors and I think it was driven by Chuck Finders. There might be pics on Google. There was also the Mustang driven by Doug Cooks son. I saw it race once at Oswego,IL. You have an impressive group of gasser history there, and all are very well done!!

It's actually Dark Blue maybe a little metallic in it. My bedroom was probably a bad place to take the pics.

That's one of my all time favorite later releases. Your suspension mods really get it down. Built out of the box it sits too high(at least mine did) Good work so far. Did you machine the front/rear suspension?

It does be lookin' gooodddd. !!!

AWESOMENESS!! It's hard to customize a vette and not mess it up. You done good!

Title says it all.

Really nice and not a rat rod. It is the widest rod, or that country road sure is narrow!

Stevens International used to have the formerly Johann style of slicks in a four pack. Maybe someone still has them.

I bought both of these years ago, and only recently took a look at one, the Alfa and did a little clean-up and away it went. Thank you for showing this and I'm going to print it out when I have a suitable place to make a jig like that. Very Good work, actually quite fantastic!

Incredible stuff and a soon to be fantastic build!!

The primer is by SEM. It is labeled as a high build primer and comes in Buff, Grey, and White, maybe also Black. Big spray can, about $15-17.

UPDATE! NEW PHOTOS

"I'm guessing the most difficult part would be finding one of these 1/20 scale kits, though." You got that right! Took me two years to find the 2 I have.

The way I look at it, it would be a labor of love, however 1/20 isn't that far away from 1/18th and 1/18th is pretty close to 1/16th. Yeah, I know I'm stretching it a bit ( a lot?). For a pro-mod, gasser, etc. the car only has to be a reasonable facsimile I don't know if the lights rotate or not, I really don't like looking at it as I may be tempted to start it ( and finish it) For about what I paid for the kit, You can get a really nice diecast in 1/18th from http://www.modelcarsales.eu/

I'm on a forum for casting and there seems to be a lot of guys who do their own thing with railroad modeling. At least one person does his rail cars in Gelcoat instead of the usual polyester resin that we are familiar with. If you do this body I'm in for several copies please!!!

Everytime I see this I wish there were a way you could get this cast, or even vac-formed. I'm not much of a Dio guy, but this body in a garage or salt dio with the completed chassis next to it in bare metal silver... oh I'm starting to drool

How about looking at chassis company's catalogs? Alston comes to my mind and there maybe others?

Amen to that Dan. I really wanted to get a bike after I moved here in 2008. Shortly after I moved here A truck PLOWED into a group of riders at a STOPLIGHT!! It came out later the driver was sleep deprived and tested positive for meth
