Very nice tom.

Nice touches wig free light weathering

Great results

Cool model!

Nice model. These are my favorite automotive competitions to watch.

Looking real good. Are you going to plum the motor?

Good looking curbside

Nice model! I bet the car would be a blast to drive.

Interesting!

oh my....this is going to be great to watch!

I like the chassis choices, very realistic if you were putting a lot more horsepower into the car.

No, not really hard, BUT moving the can in such a fashion that the ball hits the same basic spot repeatedly, coupled with the fact that I "whip" the can back up which then slams the ball against the bottom, rather than "rattling" it. There were two people that have not yet been back over here to see (or at least not posted in the thread) that were certain it was not the shaking, and I know it sounds silly, but I really want them to see it. LOL The Testors discontinued line of CreateFX washes and stains in the 1oz glass jars often had little agitators in their bottles. While shaking one of those one day, I cracked the jar, and started to sling paint. I am just glad it did not shatter and send paint flying all over my projects. sooo, I am way gentler on those, moving it around, more of a swishing motion now.

I too am deeply sorry to hear this. I cannot imagine the loss. I wish you the best in being able to replace that model someday as it may well offer you some comfort. Have you tried Ebay since there have been no reissues?

Very cool

cool rod! I like it!

Looking great Tim.

I present for my defense, a little video I shot just this morning,around 30 seconds of shaking the can. If the OP shook it longer, the dent could be even worse. Just saying... https://www.youtube.com/embed/0R6TRP-V4j4 The reason the top of the can does not is the way you shake it, and the shape. The bottom of the can arches up, the ball smacks the side of the can and the bottom and is held there, like a "corner". The top is arched out, so the ball hits it and rolls a bit, and most of us do not shake the can upside down anyway. The way you shake it also matter, like I said too vigorously. It is a little like cracking a whip, it is not shaking it hard so much as yanking the can back up just before the ball hits the bottom.

Now that is an unusual topic. Looking forward to more on this one.

Cool, I like it

Very nice, excellent Build.I really like the clean look.

Excellent wood work

Very nice.

I like what is going on. I agree with Richard, I like the 37 grill style, but it is to tall, cut it back a bit.

There is a baja style Volkswagen here in my neighborhood painted up in this color scheme with interceptor on the back. Something different for sure.

I always enjoy your work, and must admit some envy. I wish I had your eye for aging and weathering.
