Yup. Keep going. You're doing all the right things, just a little more.

Whoa, Jim. This might be one of your finest yet.

For when you REALLY have to declare to the neighborhood how fartsy your little family wagon can be (just in case you can't get maximum community annoyance out from under the bumper.) Welcome to America.

A lot words to say it's Thursday at the docks.

Now that's dazzling. Never seen this car look tough before.

Hmm. Worth exploring. Sounds like a couple more evenings. I may have already butchered the suspension enough to only take PT rims.

This is one I'm struggling with. Having all the performance pieces of a super car, then putting PT Cruiser wheels on it when the Audi R8 wheels with their profile, width and tread are just sitting there... PT cruiser wheels look wimpy & pathetic even on a PT Cruiser.

You're killin' me here. I gotta see where this goes.

Right now I use an old computer desk (especially messy during this shot at the end of a project). Used ones are dirt cheap and sometimes free. They're fairly compact and the sliding shelf can keep your project out of the way when you're not working.

Wow you really got this right. This along with Petty's 72 Road Runner are my two favorite Nascars. They just scream beef.

How things have changed. Maybe 10-years ago my brother was building a Revell Apollo Saturn V rocket with his kid and they managed to wreck one piece. He called Revell, explained what happened and wanted to flat-out buy the replacement piece. The customer service woman understood his problem and said he sounded like he was being sincere and sent the part out - no charge.

It's being noted around here since the twin cities of Fargo-Moorhead is where the plane was headed when it went down. People were already gathering in the arena when the news came so local promoters looked to local talent to fill the bill. They grabbed a Fargo teen, Bobby Vee, who was seen by the national promoters who were already here and the rest is more rock history. As a historical side bar, Prior to that date, a very young Bob Dylan spent about a year here playing with Vee's band on his way from Hibbing, MN to the big time. I used to work with woman who saw Holly, Valens and Bopper on their second to last show the night before. Memorable to her because that's where she met her husband. She said that when one band was playing, the other bands were mingling and goofing in the crowd so it was a real party atmosphere. Not like today where security prevents any contact with the performers.

A good ol' fashioned 96-banger. I don't think that's a fire mask he's wearing, it's an oxygen mask.

Delightfully different.

Bravo. Well done. So smooth.

American Gigolo.

Time to bump. Let's see more.

Beautiful build Elmer. Looks like a lot of busy work that came together nicely. If you have any closeups of the engine Sam, I wouldn't mind a peek.

Thanks for all good vibes folks. Nice way to head into the weekend.

That really looks lovely. I'm always glad to see justice done to rare kits.

Thanks so much for the compliment Ben. But actually you give me too much credit. I consider this period to be the modeling Renaissance. Aftermarket products were coming out of nowhere, multiple car modeling magazines on the shelves and paints were getting better and broader. I would say there's nothing on this build that predated anything today.

I'm humbled to hear that Wayne. I do appreciate you sharing. The enthusiasm and fellowship you Winnipeg guys bring to the model shows is always contagious.

I'm not that good Steven . Script is just painted silver over the top coat.

This is strikingly attractive. Your color pallet is very sophisticated. Wonderful!

FINS!
