  1. Looks good! I built a bunch of those when first released
  2. I found that kit difficult to build due to a severely warped chassis. Yours turned out great!
  3. Sometimes you just need to build a slump buster. This kit was languishing in my stash for decades. I've used this kit in the past as a base for other cars but never built it as the Hemi Under Glass. Very simple (and inaccurate) kit but it was fun to build. Took less than a week. Not highly detailed at all but I did put an injected 426 in the back as the kit engine is completely wrong. Tamiya gold and gloss black along with Slixx decals completed the body. I think it will look good in the back of the showcase.😛 Someday I might put a 1/25 scale Bob Riggle in the seat and take some wheelie photos!As usual , the large pictures on the forum show all the flaws that my ancient eyes don't pick up!
  4. Thank you, everyone. Sadly, I lost this car in a recent move. Looks like I'll have to build another one.
  5. Super job! Love it!
  6. Pretty cool!
  7. I like it!😀
  8. I REALLY appreciate accurate builds of historic drag race cars. You did a terrific job on this one! Thanks for sharing
  9. Sort of a "Day 2" race car. We would buy a car like this and immediately take it out to the track. Warranty? We don't need no stinkin' warranty Slicks on steelies! A bit of a custom hood treatment! Always loved the dust trails on the '70s A quick and fun build1
  10. What if Sox & Martin got their hands on a '71 Superbird? According to some accounts, Chrysler Plymouth had intended to build a new Superbird for the 1971 NASCAR season. We all know how well received the winged cars were by NASCAR. The plan was scrapped but what if?... This car was built as a gas class car. Some long time members here might remember this one. I built this car back in 2009
  11. That’s a beauty!
  12. That is a guaranteed show winner! Fantastic!
  13. Thanks everyone! Much appreciated
  14. Cool Charger!
  15. Extremely well done! That’s a museum quality build!😀
  16. Well done. That is one of my all time favorite kits!
  17. Fantastic! Looks like it's ready for vacation!
  18. Excellent job! Very realistic.
  19. Without a doubt, my favorite race team of all time! I just completed the Revell , Sox & Marti '70 'cuda. Great kit whether you build it stock or modified. While researching the car, I found that there were quite a few versions of S&M '70 'cudas. Different paint schemes and different classes ( NHRA Pro Stock, IHRA G.T. etc. ) This one would have been an IHRA car. Slixx decals were awesome. The paint was mixed for me using the correct Chrysler paint codes. The kit supplied hood did not look at all correct so I grafted a more correct 6bbl resin scoop. That turned out to be a major p.i.t.a.. The carbs would not clear without a lot of material removal from the underside of the scoop. Eventually got it to look ok
  20. I never built one of those kits because I thought that they couldn’t be made to look good. You proved that wrong! Nice job!
  21. Great collection of early dragsters!
  22. Thank you so much for the photos! Sorry that I did not respond earlier. I've been on the "2024 Long Island Hospital Tour" for the last few months. I've missed quite a bit.
  23. You know what I just noticed while looking at the photos? The wheels are only 4 lug! How did I miss that ? ( 70 year old eyes ?)
