Nice work! Love the stance and engine details. It reminds me of a real one my dad's friend had when I was growing up.

"Plan Bee" update: The body is painted, a little darker than I expected, but looks good. The interior was painted Tamiya Nato Black with a semigloss clear coat. The roll bar is body color. I got a lot of other stuff painted and did a little detailing on things that were already dry. I added frame connectors and a drive shaft loop to the chassis and got it painted. The wheels are painted black and the white letter decals were put on the tires. They will need a coat of dullcote when they dry. The engine is painted red because I didn't have any orange. I will mask and paint the trans tomorrow. Still a long way to go, but a lot or progress today!

Got some work done on my entry. The stance is figured out and adjusted and some parts are being stripped, others are painted. The roll bar is fitted (taken from the new Revell '66 Malibu reissue). The body needs clean up and prep for primer, the basic engine is assembled but needs primer to see how much more clean up is needed due to the engine being split, leaving a seam in the middle of the oil pan and trans. That is a definite weak spot on older Monogram kits......I will have a few days off for Thanksgiving, so hopefully I can get it done in time. Still not 100% sure about the color, but I am leaning toward a Duplicolor spray paint I got at Ollie's dirt cheap a few years ago, it is pretty close to B5 Blue.

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but the price tag on the truck is 160k. I looked on the site and all their vehicles (gas or electric) range in price from just below that to 200k, more if options are added. So how many people can afford these, regardless of how it is powered?

Looks good! Nice job on the mods!

Excellent work! Looks great in that color and the wheels and stance look great!

Well, I am late to the party, but I am here! My original plan was a '69 Super Bee with a Hellcat engine, super low, a pro touring type car. I actually started cutting one up, but it did not go the way I wanted and needs way too much for me to finish on time. So, I am not giving up but there has been a change of plans.... A switch to an old school style build. The new plan is an A12 car on Steroids, Steel wheels, blown 440, big and little tires, some parts box additions. I am not sure of the color, but the first incarnation was going to be Petty blue with a black interior and stripe, so I may stick with that, I'm not sure yet. It will be pretty straight forward, but I really want to actually finish for once!

From my experience, Spotlight Hobbies has always been reliable and honest. The items I have bought were exactly as described, packed well and sent quickly. They have an excellent reputation for a reason.

Excellent job!

Outstanding! Great stance and attention to detail!

Excellent model! Love the panel paint! Maybe the best build I have seen of this difficult kit!

That is the engine from the original Monogram '32 Ford "Sport" Coupe. It is bigger than 1/24, more like 1/22 or 1/20. It was issued in 1959 and a motorized version in 1960.

Great job! The paint is super and the over all look is very aggressive!

Very well thought out and beautiful job!

I recently got all 4 1/32 Atlantis funny cars, and they were all molded in blue. I was hoping to get at least a little variation in colors. I am thinking about getting a second set, is there any markings on the box or some way to tell the colors you are getting? I don't really care which color is on which car, I just didn't want them all to be the same.

I like choice #4, the dark gray/black ones. I think they work best with your mods.

Super nice work!

Beautiful! Top notch build!

Is there a Packard transmission available in 1/25? I would love to have a few.....

I like it! You really captured the feel of the old drag cars.

Your work is careful and very well done! This is looking great! If you are using an LS, maybe try to find one from a late model "2004ish" GTO. Those had GTO badged engine covers....just a thought.

I agree that his videos are useful and they absolutely help me make decisions on if I will buy the kit or not. I think that is the whole point. He doesn't pretend to be a master builder. The kits are built quickly and if you have been at this for a while, like most of us have, you can look past the flaws. Just because he doesn't clean up mold lines doesn't mean I won't and he uses different paint and techniques than I do, but I get a really solid feel for the kit when he is done. This is especially great when it is a kit I am not familiar with. Sometimes it is nice just to see if a common kit has upgraded tires, decals or parts that you didn't know it had.

That's cool! I like the mods you made and it is a great color! Nice save!

That looks really good! Nice stance, color and wheel/tire combo!

I first watched this when I was around 9 years old, when it was new on tv, I thought it was really cool. I was just rewatching it now, yikes! It is quite a steamer.....about 20 minutes in, I turned the volume off and just watched the car and racing footage. There are some neat old hot rods and drag cars in it.......
