Chris in Berwyn

There is a club in Fulton, NY. Its probably a bit far for you, but you should get in touch with them and see if they know of a club in Rochester. Here is a flyer from their show last year with some contact info on it

I just want to be sure Miss Deal is in good hands!

How many times can Chad say “cool” in a 10 minute video? It’s out of hand! But, I saw a rumor on another board that he’d be speaking in code in this month’s video, and the number of times he’d say cool would be equal to the number of drag Pirhanas that were built!

Looks nice!

That came out well!!! Beautiful!

I am about 99.9 percent sure you are trolling us and having a good laugh when we all take the bait. And now, here I am taking the bait. The problem with your statements above is the manufacturer is not giving anyone anything. If they were, they could give people what’s good for them. But they are selling the merchandise, and if people don’t want it they are not going to buy it no matter how good it is for them. For example, Frosted Flakes, which are loaded with sugar, is the number 2 selling cereal in the US. Corn Flakes are a healthier product and aren’t even in the top 10.

Very nice!!! The box mentions that the tires are "low profile." Quite a difference between what qualified as low profile in 1966 vs. today!!!

That is great! From the NASCAR heyday!!

I believe 82 or 83 hemi drag racing pirhanas were built. All are currently stored at a secret location near Area 51 in Arizona. OK - enough with this thread. I don’t know why I keep reading it!!

That came out well!

Nice work!!!

Clay, a question for you. I seem to recall reading that you paint outdoors. If that is correct, do you paint in the open air, use a box to keep stuff off the paint, or what? Where I have moved painting outside is more convenient but I’ve never done it before, so looking for tips. Thanks!

I looked for the award winners on the event website and facebook page but no luck. Are they listed anywhere?

I think it’ll be tough. Solvaset is really strong but those scoops are deep. I can’t imagine the decal can be made to stretch that much. I had the same issue with Slixx LA Hooker decals. I was luck to have paint the right color so I painted the hood stripes over the scoops, but it’s a simpler scheme than for “the horse.”

Yes to the curved opera window. No to the aft edge of the b-pillar being curved Look at the real red car above. The example you are referring to has the flat or concave glass where the race car has convex glass, as does the red car .

There seem to be a ton of people congratulating Salvinos on this mess on the Mike's Decals page. I guess each to his own, but it is amazing how vociferous some of these people are given they must realize the kit is junk.

The next hurdle is this kit faces is to see how it goes together! The parts might fit together well, or they might not! Will be interested to hear from folks once people start building it.

Wow! And that clear really brings out the sparkle in the One Coat paints.

That is nice!

Given the flaws in this kit we can see before it has even been issued, I am worried for JR Salvinos’ reputation once we see the whole kit.

Very nice!!

They are a new company and charging a premium price. I’d go with the old adage “there is only one chance to make a first impression.” Also, once they realized the kit has some problems you’d think they could have delayed the production run. But I wish them luck - the more manufacturers we have the better!

I’d think they’d want to do the right thing and put the corrected parts in the Olds, but sounds like they want to ship it ASAP and not wait for the correct parts to be available.

Glad to see the El Camino still includes the six pack!! They did change the spelling from Six Pak on the box for the original kit.

A nice tribute. Makes me sad to think about the drivers we have lost.
