That’s beautiful Bob!

Just amazing!

Wow Bob I almost missed this, I knew that kit was in good hands. I like what your doing here!

Thank you Ian, I really appreciate your comments! To me, what made theses cars so cool was how they looked. They looked fast just sitting still. A lot of that is attributed to their stance. I try and find as many photos of the real car and pay attention to where the center of the wheel is in relation to the rocker panel, or the bottom door edge. If the real car had stretched wheel openings I try my best to replicate them. Tire sizing is also critical and I research the car to find the size used on the actual car and match as close as I can the correct size tires in scale. I could build The Demon kit out of the box, add some slicks, wheels, and the decals and call it good, but then when I look at it, it doesn’t invoke in me that feeling of when I look at the real car. I want to look at my build and hear the motor running in my head, that’s when I know it’s good. Thank you again for the compliment, much appreciated!

Thank you Francis, welcome back! It’s hard to believe how quickly we get outdated?

Great story Steve, I love your Demon, both of them. I really miss the 70s. I’m enjoying this build but I’m ready to get her finished too.

I hope this helps Niko, MickeyThompson had a Mustang also. Identical except for the body.

I’m loving this project, I agree with Tim, watch the wheelbase, I built the Blue Max and the front wheels are too far forward .

Thanks Terry, some really old Testors square bottle Grape Metallic.

Thanks Rich and Scott. I have a little clean up to do before I clear it. I’ve started on the motor, I broke one of the ladder bars too much handling of the fifty year old Johan plastic. I’ve started on the motor and gathering parts for the dry sump.

Thank you Michael, very cool project. I have some resin Camaro bodies but I really prefer plastic. The Camaro looks great. I can’t wait to see it complete.

Really coming along Bob, details look great!

They look great I’d like some more info on that Camaro body.

Sweet! Looks really good!

Your ambitious, they look great!

Lookin good Ron!

Got the Purple on, hard part is over……

Thanks Bob, they will look a little better when I get the Molotow sprayed on them.

Thanks Rich

Really looking great, I love what your doing here!

I taped off the red stripes and shot them with Tamiya TS39, Mica Red. I have some overspray to clean up, shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll shoot the purple in a day or so.

I got the white painted on the body today.

Thanks James, pretty much painting weather mall the time here, strange as it seems the dirt in paint is less of an issue here also.

This thing is so cool!

Thanks Daniel, it is what it is! I’m going with what I have. I hope to complete it for the ACME show, not enough time to redo it .
