  1. I can't even imagine brush painting a body. Amazing!
  2. Love that body style for a race car! The lightning bolts are a nice touch.
  3. I am overwhelmed! Totally impressed with every aspect of this incredible group of models. Super project! WF
  4. Love this one! Great color combination! WF
  5. Gorgeous! Looks like a high dollar restoration!
  6. Ford Mustang: The Universal Racecar! Well done! WF
  7. I'm bored today so I figured I might bring this one out of the display case and do some touch-ups and repairs. Last seen around ten years ago. Originally planned to have a small block Ford: For some reason, I went with a SBC instead: The interior that no one will ever see once the body goes on: Finished April, 2002: Weird, huh? The inspiration: Fun with photoshop!
  8. Very impressive! I keep going back to the photos to check out all of the cool details.
  9. I really like this one!
  10. Here is another one that Bill photoshopped:
  11. I love this shot! Built and photographed by Bill Gonsowski.
  12. Those jeeps are fantastic! Must have been incredible to see them in person. I'm assuming that the Destroyer body id resin? If so, who made it? WF
  13. Very well done! Engine looks terrific! Paint scheme is race car perfect. Don't agree with "Glossy glass on drag cars just don't jive IMO". When the lexan would get scratched or cloudy on my 1:1 race car I would replace it! Still don't like cloudy glass! WF
  14. Very clean build! Green paint looks great. I started to build one of those, got about 80 percent done and threw it back in the box. It frustrated the heck out of me! WF
  15. One of the best drag cars ever seen on this forum! Fourth pic from the top would fool 90 percent of the people into believing it was a 1:1 car. Great detail work ! Even has a driveshaft loop! lol WF
  16. John, you are correct when speaking of Mopar muscle cars. I should not have said "most models" because someone (like me) will always find an exception! However, not all B motors had the plug wires routed beneath the manifolds as you can see from the 413 4bbl pic below. The # 5&7 wires were run along the valve covers and over the manifolds. Those wires must have burned up real quick! Remember, when it comes to Mopars, there are always exceptions!
  17. Quick! Someone find the originality trophy! No contest....you win!
  18. Nice job! That Super Bee is terrific! Love the red detail paint on the tail light panel. One thing to point out for future builds. On a 1:1 B engine with factory exhaust manifolds you can not route the plug wires between the exhaust manifold and the cylinder head ( can't be done). They are routed down in front of the cylinder heads and below the manifolds. On most models the #7 and #8 plug wire runs alongside the valve cover and behind the rear of the cylinder head to the spark plug. WF
  19. Outstanding!! Brings back memories of the cars I saw at the NY Coliseum when I was a kid! WF
  20. Welcome Karl! Not to step on Tom Geiger's toes but...... The Jersey Shore Model Car Club is a great group that meets every third Friday of the month at the Brick First Aid Squad building. https://www.facebook.com/Jersey-Shore-Model-Car-Club-151675864853140/
  21. A lot of effort put into that one. Good job! WF

    Hemicuda!

    Great color for a musclecar!
  23. Some serious talent there! Wow! I love that car! WF
  24. I like it! I'm partial to blue and white '55s!
  25. Thought it would be fun to include a pictorial history of my favorite Mopars in order. My first car. 1968 383 ,4 spd. 2nd car. 1974 440 GTX road runner. I loved this car! I sold the '74 in order to buy this 440 six pak Challenger: And I bought this '68 to tow it with: When this A 12 car came up for sale in '76 I had to buy it! Still have it and it is undergoing a total nut and bolt restoration. I added the Super Gas 'cuda in 1986 2007: 2009: 2013- today: Yeah, I guess I like Mopars!
