Last thing. When you were boring the hole with the blade I bet it caught in the plastic windshield and cracked it with the torque that this method can induce. I hope I don’t come across as a know-it-all because I certainly am not, However I too have cracked some pieces with the X Acto drilling so here’s the way I solved it… very small drillbit ideally in a handheld pin vice. Just a suggestion. I guarantee you aren’t the first to break the windscreen using MPC’s method and again, I have cracked some pieces mentioned pieces doing this!

Right on Terry! Scott I was going to check for you but I’m pretty sure if I do in fact have an extra that it has glue on it. I’m glad Terry took care of you ibecause your project looks fantastic. Nice color.

Not sure if these are all IMSA

Few more photos

Earl zoom in on this. When I do I see Tilton Starter, Good Year, and black Koni stickers by the frint wheel arches. On the door I make out Camel and BBS stickers. Just in front of rear wheel of arch I see another Koni decal featuring a shock absorber. Also Snap On. About one of the aftermarket decal companies has a sheet with most of these on there. Otherwise you can probably find the.Tilton in ARevell pro stock kit i’m drawing a blank on which one. I believe it to be the Larry Morgan purple car. Koni with the shock absorber used to be prevalent in old kits. I believe many AMT kits came with that decal on the sheet particularly in the 3in1 kits featuring a drag race version. If you’re interested, I can check my little decal stash. I think I have a few of the sponsors you would need for this car. I would send them your way ibut I must warn you some of the decals are old. I’m not sure how well they will work.

David nice score! Nice Resto work too. Both Monogram kits I believe. Red Chariot 32 Sport Coupe Like Alan said the coupe is indeed rare. I hope I’m not geeking out here, but it happens that I was looking for this kit at one point in time and I did a little research on it. I believe it was made in 1958 and that the molds were destroyed shortly thereafter, so that baby isn’t gonna come back! If I’m not mistaken it’s actually closer to 1/22 scale then 1/24. At least that’s the way it appeared to me when I had my grimy little digits on one in Detroit. It was unbuilt and mint in the box. The seller wanted like $300 but offered it to me for $250. I passed because I was really just hoping to come by a builtup that I could restore/modify. The unbuilt one was too nice in other words! My desire for one has diminished because I have a zillion other model projects. If someday I find a builtup one price I may pick it up. In the meanwhile though I’m glad to look at yours because you’ve done a nice job putting it back together. It looks like you got a bunch of nice cars in that lot. Enjoy and happy building!

R&R Vacuum Craft cast a Manhattan many years back. I wish I had one because if I did, I would send it your way in the hopes that you would do something like this with it. There have been several 1:1 Manhattan sleds done and I personally love them. Your Henry J gives me the same vibe though. I love all your models. You are great with styrene and resin.

Glen, they both look fantastic! I’ve seen chopped Henry J s done as drag or pro Street cars and they look nice even with the short wheelbase when done as a drag car, However I never thought one could make a nice lead sled because of the short proportions. However, you cracked the code by lengthening it. Excellent work! -Mark

Really nice workmanship on the bodywork and firewall! Keep up the great scratch building. You are on your way to being a force to be reckoned with! Very accurate depiction of Finnegan’s car. -Mark

Scott thanks for posting! -Mark

Thanks for posting Scott! -Mark

No problem Greg. I uploaded those photos and then I thought I hope that wasn’t too much! If so, I apologize. What I should’ve done is look at your pictures and just posted photos of the models that you weren’t able to shoot. Indeed it was a very nice show. I took a friend of mine and it was his first show and contest. He ate it up. We hooked another one!

Bob that is wild! Thanks for posting. -Mark
