Juergen, this is TOO COOL! Hey, did Jack's brother Jim used to be Richard Petty? Just wondrin, caz he DOES look A LITTLE like him! It's commin along GREAT Juerg!!!
Duhhhh Yeah, Dad, I read it FULLY again an saw the Full Interior part. My bad. But hey, it's STILL lookin pretty good even now! i gotta feelin this'll be a GOOD'n!
Dom, with all that GREAT interior cageing, I PERSONALLY think that you should have removed the back seat. but THAT'S just MY opinion. You don't see too many race cars with them. But other than that, I think it's commin out GREAT so far! Gonna be a real looker when she's done! Where did you get the Drag Radials? They look REALLY good! Great work so far, keep it up!
If hadn't been for you and Steve(Millbury?), I'da NEVER known that the 68 GTO had a different dash than the 69! You told me the difference, and i BELIEVE it was you or Steve that sent me an extra cast resin version of the original dash! MUCHAS GRACIAS!!! I found another 68 on the bay an picked it up, an darned if you weren't right! the dash WAS different! I'll keep an eye on this one Marc, you got a REAL knack for bringin these lil rascals back to their original glory!!!!!
Thanks Mike, your link worked perfectly! Yeah, Nick, Steves castings are as close as you can come to the real things in 25th scale! Steve's a draftsman by trade and it shows in his work!
Actually, Don, i WAS thinkin more along the lines of JUST YOU, but I didn't want to snub any of the YOUNGER members! You been paintin, ,,,, what, about 750 years now ain'tcha??? I LOVE this place!!!!
Welcome Trey. Your in good hands now, bud. If THESE guys can't help, or answer a question, well then, I'm sorry Bud, there probably ISN'T one! Total, there must be at LEAST a 1,000 years of expierience here. SOMEONE WILL have the answer.

I am. I've been building 25th scale since I started. I DO OCCASIONALLY buy 24th scale, but ONLY if the models available in NO other scale. The 70 Buicl GSX is a good example. I got TWO of them, but since they are the wrong scale, they become parts cars for the two 25th scale 70 GSX Buicks i got from R&R and Steve Kohler, overt Star Models!!!! They's gonna get their drive train, and decals!
Tom, I believe these to be ACTUAL AFTERMARKET hobcaps and NOT any FACTORY original design. The DO look like Lancer caps, But i don't remember them crossing on top like that. They LOOK like the caps you could order from, Hollywood Hot Rod Shop, or the ol "Honest Charlies" Speed shop catalog. They used to advertise in ALL the old Hot Rod an Car Craft Magizines. If you can find an old issue,from the 60's you'll see them rascals there! Hope this helps:D :D
