Great job Scott , that's a great looking pair ! I couldn't build one in two weeks , two would take me a couple months !
-
Sharp looking Camaro , really like blue/silver and the redline tires ! Great work John !
-
I built one of the originals many many MANY moons ago and it does make a nice looking tanker when finished . Don't remember what was involved but a little tweaking of the interior floor/seats part and I was able to assemble and paint the body in one piece then install the floor afterward . I'm sure you can work some magic and blow everybody away and your next meeting !

Looks great so far Bob ! Good call on the tailgate (why open it?) and using the 348 from the kit , one of the nicest available ! -
That's pretty cool and I like that you went with a six for a base Camaro ! You've done some excellent detailing and it's perfect in white/red , great job ! Yes there was a Yenko before all the HiPo cars were built . . . love the dealer tag on the back !

Absolutely beautiful Andy ! Nicest I've ever seen , great work !

Thanks Mario ! Same here with the Torino . It's another step that I've added when fitting parts on all my builds . Thanks much John ! Thank you David ! I've seen others and they just don't look right with the tires not centered . Thanks very much David !

Thanks Lee ! The turned Gold decals are from Speedway Decals . Thanks Peter ! It would be nice to get these tires in a separate pack or a different kit . I don't like the white top (I think Barris did that) or the dark tan so I tried an Ivory color , maybe could be a little darker . Don't know why MPC made the decals so large back then , seems it could have been corrected sometime over the years . The ones I used were from Speedway Decals .

Naaah. Thanks Joe ! Thanks Ray !

Looks kinda cool and I like those wheels ! Nice work !
-
Another sharp looking Cobra Ray ! Yes the metal flake is out of scale (I'd hate to see it on a 1/25 Cobra) but I like the paint and plan on giving it a try on other projects , thanks for testing it for us !
-
Beautiful 'Bird Chris ! There's nothing wrong with JoHan kits and they have some of the most accurate bodies ever done .
-
Thanks David ! Those blue line Goodyears ARE in the latest reissue !
-
Thanks much Alan ! Thanks ! Thanks very much John ! Yes a tire pack would be great ! Or at least in another kit with better parts that can be used elsewhere .
-
Well now that's just about the neatest windshield mod I've ever seen , definitely going to be one nice Green Hornet !

Even though I grew up in the 60's and watched the television show I've never had much interest in building this kit , but I like nice tires and when I saw the blue line Goodyears in this latest reissue I decided to give it a try . It's a very basic kit , typical of these types from the 60's . The only real issue I found was that out of the box the tires aren't centered in the body openings , so I spent the time to correct this by relocating the axles . At the same time I widened the front track 3/16" and narrowed the rear track the same 3/16" so the tires fill the openings correctly , or at least better than they did . So here's my Monkeemobile , built out of the box except for aftermarket decals and some polished aluminum tailpipes . I also added my own 6.5 Litre and Dean Jeffries badges , they're a bit larger than I planned but I still think they look okay . Paint is Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red and Krylon Ivory . Thanks for looking ! All comments welcome .

For all of your troubles it still looks mighty nice ! I'm a bit weird 'cause I always preferred the look of a '67 with the soft top "up" .

That is soooo cool , love the hot rod black primer look !

Excellent looking race car Blake , your detailing looks spot on to me and congrats on the win first time out ! I learned the same way as your Dad and still use many of those old ways when building my own models , I'm sure he's very proud of you !
