Thanks, y'all!

Thanks, everyone. I had fun with it and I'm glad to have this sitting on my shelf now.

Here's my '64 Mustang Pace Car. This kit was opened and missing a few pieces and the windshield was rather scratched. The door handles came from the spare parts bin and I had to make one of the arm rests. I added flocking for the carpeting, and I drilled out the air cleaner snorkel. I also added BMF and valve stems to the wheels. The decals were printed off-register, so I had to make my own based on pics of the originals. I got most of the fonts pretty close (note that they are different than the fonts that came in the kit). Other than those few changes, it is box-stock. Here she is: A couple more pics: Here's the underside: Here is the interior: Here it is with the top up: Under the hood: and here's the parting shot: As always, comments and suggestions are welcome

Sorry for forgetting the underhood pic - here ya are:

Thank you, everyone. I am pleased with how it came out, and I appreciate the comments.

I used Rustoleum Sunrise red. Thanks

Thanks, everyone, for the comments. I appreciate it

Thank you, everyone. I'm happy with how it turned out. Mark, I didn't detail the engine compartment at all - the engine is made of at least three engines since I didn't have any complete 427s Mark, I used the Powerslide decals - they are not doubled up at all - they are really great. The hood decals were made by me as the sheet didn't have these ones on it Niko, I used a white gel pen to paint the white Goodyear text on the tires

This is my copy of Wendell Scott's 1969 Torino. I was going to build a copy of my own 1:1 car, but the kit was missing the chassis, so I decided to improvise. I started by sanding down all the trim off the body and added the fuel filler. I then lengthened an old NASCAR chassis that I got from a friend, and scratched the rear firewall from sheet styrene. The 427 engine was made from parts from multiple sources. I modified the rollcage from the old chassis to fit and added a couple of missing bars. I modified the kit wheels and seat so I could use them with the old chassis. I modified a spare rear end to fit and built a driveshaft from styrene rod. I added seatbelts made from ribbon and styrene, and I added hood pins made from needles, wire, and sequins for the scratch plates, as well as the rear window straps from sheet styrene. Anyway, on to the pictures: As always comments or suggestions are welcome

This is my version of the '67 Petty GTX. All of my builds so far have been based on specific races, and the models have been decorated to reflect this. For this car, there were a few different ways that the car was decorated (different stripes, different markings, different sponsors, even different colored headlight covers). I decided to combine what I liked from a few different races and made this version. As such, this is not based on any single race, but is just an amalgamation. To summarize, the kit started as the Revell '67 GTX 2-in-1 kit. I removed all the trim from the body. I cut out the rear bench seat and used sheet styrene to fill in the gap. I modified the side panels to represent sheet steel. I scratch-built the rollcage and dash inserts. I modified the stock seat and added a bolster. I cast the wheels and tires and added valve stems. I wired the engine. I modified the front suspension to work without the kit's inner fenders. The rear window straps and headlight covers are scratch-built. The exhaust was made from styrene tubing. The grill was made from a reusable coffee filter that is no longer reusable. The intake manifold and air cleaner were scratch-build. I made the hood pins, as well. The decals are from the old out-of-print Slixx sheet. On to the pics:

Thanks, guys - I appreciate it

Thanks, guys. The car went together well and I'm happy with how it came out

I've been building all my open-box kits recently to clean up my stash so all I have left are sealed kits. This is a kit that I received from a former member of this site. Upon opening it, I found that all the parts were there and nothing needed to be fabricated, cut. chopped, bent, or otherwise messed with - it was COMPLETE!! After the past few kits I've done, this one was nice and relaxing. I decided to build it box-stock. Well, mostly - I just had to add seatbelts - I couldn't help myself. Here it is - comments good or bad are welcome, as are suggestions: Front view of the car: Here's under the hood - I used a piece of sprue to prop it up: Finally, the underside. I used pastel chalks to give it a slightly weathered look. I figured that the car wouldn't be driven much since it's one-of-a-kind, but it would be driven:

He he he - thanks, Niko.

Thank you, guys! I appreciate it lots

Thank you for the comments, everyone. I do appreciate it and it was kind of fun getting it all done

I recently finished this up. Watching a friend's 24 hour build got my butt into gear and I figured that if he can do everything he can do in 24 hours, I had no excuse to not get my car done that day. This kit wasn't too bad. Missing only a couple of pieces, but I had spares in my stash so I didn't have to make a single part - that was nice for a change. Everything I needed came from the extra '64 Plymouth I had. On to the pics: It's funny how you miss some things until you take a picture. It's also funny how you miss some things when you're rushing to be finished. While I did remember to paint the headliner, I forgot the insides of the fenders - I still have overspray there! Doh!! Anyway, here's a pic of the underside: A shot of the engine compartment - thanks to my friend Tom for the inspiration to put mesh over the velocity stacks and thanks to my wife Kathi for (sort of) allowing the use of a reusable coffee filter which is no longer reusable: A friend of mine had an old '64 330. I always thought the front end was butt-ugly. Her car was puke green in color, so I used to call it her "swamp doggy". Well, Here's a closeup shot of the swamp doggy front end - I'll leave it to you to decide how ugly it is for yourself: Here is the interior. I tried out acetate gauges for the first time on this under dash pod - they are different Finally, here's one last parting shot at the car before it literally goes under glass:

It was actually raced at Talladega in 2012. From what I understand, Kurt had to get approvals from lots of people to use the scheme. My favorite part of the race is when one of the announcers said, "Oh, I've been wanting to say this all night: And Ricky Bobby takes the lead!"

Those look great together! They both look great!

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate it

Oh, gosh! I meant 1994!! Updated post. Thanks, Tomo

Well, I just completed the Hasegawa Jaguar XJ-S. Here's a summary of the build: The body was (mostly) painted, but was scratched and had spots that were not painted at all. I stripped the body to start over. The kit was incomplete missing the interior tub, rear seats, center console, shifter, firewall, tie rod, spindles, shocks, and one of the braces from the engine compartment. I used sheet and rod styrene to make most of the missing parts, then used clay to shape the rear seats. A added flocking to the interior (hey, it helps hide the ugly clay seats), and I added BMF. Other than that, nothing special was done. I modeled this after my own 1994 XJ-S. The front turn signals were not tinted on there, but had colored bulbs, so that's why they are not painted in the front. Also, the back tail lights on a 1994 are much different than this one, but I decided to just use the kit taillights as they came instead of fabbing up taillights like mine. The coloring of the car is like mine with the dark charcoal black body and a light tan interior with dark wood inserts on the dash and console. I did deviate on the license plates, however. I just always thought the long license plates fit the lines of this car better than our US plates. So on to the pics: This car always looked good from the back in my opinion... I always liked the looks of the front of this car A front view of the engine compartment showing the firewall and brace And the view that I had of the engine compartment:

looking really very nice - I like it!

Thank you, Dominik. I'm glad I was able to help bring back a good memory for you.

Thank you, Dominik. I'm happy with how it came out
