GMP Super Lift on ebay, about what I paid for mine... http://www.ebay.com/itm/GMP-1-24-SCALE-SUPER-LIFT-NIB-/180814653611?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item2a1964a8ab ...other places... http://www.toyhabit.com/die_cast_model_accesories.html Bob

gmp makes a great one in 24-25th scale, my son's a tech and he drooled over it. Bob

Nicely done John...and bright! Wow! Bob

Very nice build Chris. I've always liked race cars for the street. Bob

Looks as great as I thought it would Bob

I'll be following this build, looks like a cool concept. I had this kit at one time but had to sell it. That custom grill looks almost like a '67-'68 Chrylsler 300. Bob

Good news, bad news for us. Looking great but the build will end soon. Bob

Uh, ya, that's what I meant. Thanks Harry Bob (my foot tastes terrible)

For smooth floors, put a flashlight on the floor and shine it perpendicular to the floor, any parts (or other crud [or other undies]) will cast a shadow. Bob

Boy did you ever nail the concept. Compare these pics with yours, same paint but un(ahem)molested... ...right now my car has been purple lake'd but I'm tempted to try what you have done. Excellent! Bob

Wow, that's scary as hell. Make another one, I wanna see them race. Bob

Dang, that didn't work, try searching "Mr Obsessive hinges". Bob (yes, again).

I searched "Mr Obsessive hinges", lots of good info on the subject... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1 ...strangely searching "hinge" was no real help but I got my info from Mr Obsessive's postings. Bob

Hi Tyler. Like you I am new to this site. I used the "search" option (top right) and since then I have opened and hinged 2 trunks...made me happy! Bob

Thanks for the comments all. Here's another one, Flouresent Camaro. I did like it but it had bad spots so I wanted to strip the paint it and redo it. Tried everything, finally using brake fluid that made it all rubbery. Guess the lesson is never try to strip flouresent paint... Bob

Love Yenkos and this one is nice. Bob

Very nice, sure do like the whole thing, it just looks right. Kinda small rubber on it though. Bob

I don't know an answer to this but am interested because I've had 4 models ruined by this as well, and even stripping the paint web marks were left in the plastic. Bob

...more to come. If anyone else wants to contributed to this topic go right ahead! Bob

Going through some pics I came across some models that were "under glass" but are not now. Some were picked over for parts, some were unusable after stripping the paint from them...and some I have not seen for a long time and have no idea what happened to them. This one I called the IMSA Cuda, really liked it but the paint cracked all over from age I guess, all maner of strippers failed to make it useable any more...

Beautiful builds, rims go with the '56 Nomad well. Bob

Looks good to me ) Let us know what his next build will be. Bob

Very nice eclectic collection. Is the big blue truck classified as a COE? Bob

Seems I have to learn how many pics I can include per post... Bob (again).

Started this at the end of 2011 but had the concept in my head since I got the Rivera kit about 5 years ago. Bob more... more... more..
