  1. Looks great so far! Stance is right on.
  2. So cool! Great job! I think the Days of Thunder cars had great paint schemes, better than many of the "real" cars running at the time.
  3. I bought the convertible. I am in for 2 or 3 of these. Nice to see the attention to detail added to this one with the emblems, decals and engine upgrades.
  4. The real car is a 2 door sedan.The Amt '55 would be the closest plastic kit to start with. A new tool Revell '55 hardtop might be more accurate, but you would have to graft a sedan roof on, probably from the Revell '56 recently issued. You could also start with an American Graffiti diecast, if you can find one for a decent price and you don't mind diecast. None of these have a flip nose, that will have to be fabricated.
  5. Excellent work! Great paint, decals and detailng!
  6. Excellent job, your modifications blend perfectly!
  7. Nice work so far. Here is some extra trivia about the car: It was used in an episode of the TV show "The Waltons". It is supposed to be right after WW2 and they put "moon discs" on it, but it is the same car. http://www.allaboutthewaltons.com/ep-s9/s09-11.php
  8. Very nice conversion work!
  9. Nice job! Great paint and details!
  10. Super job!
  11. Tremendous work on a very unique and worthwhile subject!
  12. That's tough looking! A lot of nice details!
  13. Another winner! Great work!
  14. Your models are all excelllent, but I like this one the best!
  15. Wow! This is super! Nice color and stance!
  16. Great job!
  17. Nice work! The changes you made work well and the color is a good choice too!
  18. That carb and engine look fantastic!
  19. As a GM fan, I always liked the Canadian Chevy/Pontiac hybrids. This one is SO cool! Especially if someone did indeed shoehorn a 421 SD in there! It must have been quite a beast! Of course, it probably would be no slouch with the L79 327 either!
  20. Great job! I really like the color!
  21. Most likely you will get more selling individual models vs selling the lot to a dealer,etc. But, you will work harder for it. Selling individual items will mean either taking them to shows (loading/unloading, sitting there all day) or selling on eBay (or similar) this takes a lot of time and costs money. There is no guarantee you will sell it all. If you can get a dealer to give you $10 a kit and you have 400 kits, that's 4k in your pocket and they deal with all the previously mentioned. If you go that route you will have to give up some profit on better stuff, but you will probably be sneaking in some duds too, like Nascar or C4 Corvettes.
  22. Super job! Great looking race team!
  23. I really like it too! It's based on "The Magician". An independent Australian movie. You can see it on Amazon Prime. The series is better, but you can see where it got it's beginnings in the film.
  24. Wow. Great pics! I thought these were a lot more modified than they are.
