    Hi all,,finally got to get caught up on the cobra,,added wheels,,radiators,interior. Im doin a condensed build thread as to not take up too much space. This has to be one of MPC's best+ fun kits,,IMO. Still has a long way to go yet,,hope this finds you all doin well and keep up the great works! S

    awsome! reminds me of a local track here,,close to M.I.S. speedway from back in the day,,called "Onandaga Dragway" ,,same stuff,,garage built saturday nighters bangin it out,,,cool pics guy!

    Thats a tough one,,if theres quite a few modelers in your area,,start your own store out of your garage,,or rec room. Theres a few around here that do that.. it is more fun to "handle" a kit or product in a LHS firsthand,,instead of just looking at it on a puter screen. Good luck on your searches!

    Why thanks sir,,,theres so many great builds here,,fun to check out what+how folks build. Yea ,,Drag-o-matic was just a ziploc bag full of busted up pieces of the 1971 era 1/8 Revell Triumph Drag bike 15$ at a swap meet,,,,after I looked at web pics of the finished kit, some of the original kit pcs were missing,,so just tossed some other options at it,,and it worked ok..Its a one- off bike,,theres not another like it thats for sure. So,,itll look ok on my shelves,,Thanks for the kind words,,Build On !

    Why thank you sir,,,,,ooh yea,, I try to snatch up ANY large scale bikes ,,any era really. whenever I can. This whole bike{Drag-o-Matic} is basically 3 different large scale Revell kits,,bits+ pcs. This blue one is a Tamiya 427 Yamaha Virago. Thanks for looking,,,,

    Such is the big question these days,,I play gtr in a band{10K-DB music} on the web,,but I love model building as well. And drive a semi truck around SE Mich for a day job so I can have a place to build models,,play + record music and market it to publishing co's on Nashville+ LA ect. Theres a radio talk show guy named Dennis Prager whos says " you always will have to do what you dont want to do,,in order to do what you really do want to do!" And it makes perfect sense when you think about it. Model building will always be one of my top 1-2 hobbies,,they key I think is to find something your really good at and enjoy,,AND be able to make a living from it,,now thats true success,,,IMO

    The 1st thing I do with any kit I get is seperate all the parts so they dont make any contact with anything else w/layers of napkins or tissue paper to help eliminate any probs like this. I did a get a "Monroe Handler" mustang 2 from the late 70's awhile back and it had "goodyear" melted across the front windshield! man was I bummed,,so I just wet sanded it forever w/different grits paper,,then polished it out and it was fine,,but it took forever.
