Very clean build, and looks the part! Good job.

That really is...Just. So. Cool. That needs to be a proper 1/25 kit for the masses!

I always liked that version of Andy's ride. Very nicely recreated.

Only if you mean '58 or '59! Definitely a '60s thru early 70s vibe. I could see that metal flake goodness on the cover of 1970 Rod & Custom! RRR, that is one gorgeous rod you've pieced together!

Very nice gray/silver indeed! Excellent color mixes on the models shown.

Very cool appearance. This kit may lack details, but does a lot right to make for the perfect drag car look. Your paint treatment is especially appropriate for an imposing drag car! The blackout treatment of the rear is so nice, I would have been tempted to carry it to the front as well. As far as those tiny buckets go, you should have posted in the "Wanted" here, as most of us have a trove of leftover buckets from our collective stashes! Your solution is perfectly fine, though. This is a cool hot rod all around. Well done.

Those wheels are like the classic Cragar S/S; they look good on most anything! I bought a couple of those kits just to get the wheels, although they are pretty nice kits.

That interior is just beautiful! You've done some nice work, but this may be my personal favorite. The color, your clean building, and precise detailing just add up to a fantastic interior. It's a model to display on its own!

Aren't those from the AMT '49 Merc? Cool custom detail.

Very kewl. I'd like to see the top folded down, but that's my taste. Digging the build as is!

Great save, and a GORGEOUS model. The red is outstanding, especially. Absolutely love the big Ford wagons of all types. Well done and then some.

Very nice looking; the stripes compliment the body perfectly. Is this or the other Chevelle in the pic posted here "Under Glass"? Would love to see more of each!

Are you sure it's a Jimmy Flintstone? I just perused his site, and didn't see one listed among 313 car and truck bodies. Jimmy's are usually cleaner, with less flash left in. I would have guessed that body came from R&R, from awhile back. (RIP Ray) Ray had some unusual subjects in his resin choices, and a Plymouth COE truck would be right up his alley. If it was from JF, it might be discontinued.

Looking good. That Tamiya paint responded well to wet coats, didn't it?! Nice color, too. Thanks for posting that nice engine bay reference pic, that will be helpful to many.

Mike, this is the place to learn, so welcome aboard! The work exhibited here covers the range from "my first model car" to "museum quality", and all in between. It is inspirational to see what others have accomplished, to the point of helping you to raise the bar for your own builds. You'll get encouragement, you'll get advice from the guys who've already made the mistakes you may be headed for, and you will see improvement! Discussions can get a little heated; we all have opinions, and we're older and crotchety, so bear with us and remember there's more than one way to skin a cat. Take advice with a grain of salt, but mostly, you'll get good-to-great advice. If you haven't looked around much, you'll find 2 major divisions of the forum: one for WIPs (Works In Progress) and one for work "Under Glass" for the finished build. We hope to see you soon in both! Under those headings, you'll find a specific category for NASCAR builds, and another for "Other Racing..." Sounds like we'll be seeing you in both. This may be redundant info, you never know how new the newbie is! Ask questions, have fun!

Very impressive array of racers, and well crafted models they are. Dig 'em all, but "The Fugitive" and the "Gas Junkie" are SO right! Great stuff.

Very nice looking Chevelle, and your changes made it something really special. SHARP! Who made the diecast '69, I may need to pick one up?!

Cool to see you continuing this one. That interior is SHARP!

What a cool ride! I never get tired of these models, and this one is NICE. Love it. Well done.

Cool to see those built kits, thanks for posting!

+1 on the fun factor! This is great model car, period. Everything about it exemplifies the fun that comes with building model cars. The finishes you've chosen give it such character that it would still stand out on a shelf full of builds of the same basic kit. Fantastic save, and just too cool!

Agreed! It was my first impulse at seeing the design," That's a 1940s Batmobile without trying hard." Beautifully rendered by Mr. Jesse.

Great looking model, and the color is perfect for it!

Cool color, and nice work on those headers! They look authentic.

Very nice, love the green!
