  1. That's what I figured.
  2. I have an older version of this kit in the stash, but I wouldn't mind that decal sheet!
  3. Nice looking decal sheet. I like the "double shout out" to Tim Ahlborn; very cool. I don't see any Coca-Cola logos, though. Do you know if the tires come with both steer & drive tires?
  4. Nice looking Chevelle. Is this the AMT kit?
  5. Thanks, guys.
  6. Good looking General so far.
  7. HÃ¥kan, it probably took this long to reissue the Bandag Bandit & Hideout trucks because they were trying to figure out where to put the Coca-Cola logos.
  8. Thanks, Brian.
  9. Looks really nice. That AMT taker kit can be a real bear.
  10. Thanks for the info. Never saw either movie.
  11. Nice looking Mustang. Did I miss something? Who's Eleanor?
  12. Thanks, Tyler.

    Buick GSX

    Looks really nice.
  14. Andy, thanks for the compliment & the vote of confidence.
  15. Nice looking Indy car. Well done.
  16. Thanks for the compliments, guys. Tom, that's probably beyond my ability.
  17. Thanks, guys.

    68 Corvette

    Little Red Corvette! Fantastic details. That dash is just superb.
  19. Thanks, guys. Alex, no, I don't think I'll be building the Vega. Now, if I could figure out how to do the Mustang.
  20. Very cool. Never knew Airfix made anything like that.
  21. Nice looking race cars.
  22. Thanks, Keith.
  23. Back in the 1980s I had the TCR Rat Trap racing set. The set came with a yellow & orange Mustang (#12), a red, white & blue Pinto (#77) and a blue & yellow Mustang (#55) jam car. My favorite car was the Pinto (although I didn't know it was a Pinto back then) because it was wicked fast! Always good for a race car, and I never realized that these cars were (loosely) based on actual cars. Fast forward to earlier this year when I saw Chris' (hpiguys) build-up of the MPC Ridge Runner: I saw that video, and said "That's the TCR car!" I had to have that kit. Well, I finished it up earlier today, and I am please with the results. The fit & detail left a lot to be desired (no brakes, no steering column, no steering box, very soft details in the engine), but in the end it was a quick pleasurable build. I'm sure there are builders that could build a much more detailed Pinto than I did, but like I said I'm please with the results. The Ford decal on the rear does not come in that kit; it came from my Decal Collection.
