I love what you are doing with this one! I have collected parts to do this car simply because it was local to me ( Long Island) and I knew one of the owners. You finish yours first! lol

Coming along nicely! Too bad about the bubbly decals. Can you get another set? I also built a Goeske road runner a number of years ago. Did not like the resin body so I got a Johan glue bomb and it worked out well. I used my magazine collection for reference only to find that the colors in old magazines did not translate well. I realized, years after the build that the chassis was actually red and the body was Omaha Orange. When you get around to the windshield, do not cut an opening . Goeske's windshield did not have one. I have some reference photos here: http://public.fotki.com/announcerguy/funny-cars/fearless_fred_goeske/ if you'd like to see them.

Astounding! That '57 is museum quality. WF

Very well done! Nice job on the foil. WF

Wow! You made my day with this one! A masterpiece for sure! WF

15" steel wheels were standard on Hemi cars but they were not the "6-slot "police" wheels". Those weren't even born yet. The 15 inches were just the heavy duty steel rims that were used on station wagons.

Clean build! Well done.

Terrific! Definitely captures the look of a privateer match racer from '66! Headers look so much better than the kit supplied sewer pipe.

I always look forward to opening your posts. It's like unwrapping a present! Certainly not disappointed with this one! WF

Very interesting......and different!

Super Stock as a class did not require a roll bar.

First beam is the pre stage. The next beam is the stage beam, They are seven inches apart.

Nice group of rockets! Love that cream colored (yellow?) '67.

That is true! I think that this might be my only fifties car. I do mostly race cars. We tear that useless trim off!

Thanks for the kind replies! The paint was left over from a 1:1 project that a friend gave me. I don't know what it originally was. Sorry. WF

This one taxed my patience like few kits have done. So many warped and ill fitting parts. Foiling was like torture! lol Just could not make the operating tail gate line up. Hood seemed to fit well before paint. After paint? Oh well. Couldn't get all four wheels to touch the ground either. I was going to add a push bar for a bumper but I gave up on it. WF

Nice goat Mike! I too like the color.

Very well done!

Outstanding!

Super job! Looks terrific!

Well done! You did a great job on that Ford!

Great looking engine bay!

Well done! I love that kit. Have built three and have four more waiting to be built! WF

A super sleeper! Great job on that one!
