This looks great!!. I'm looking forward to the graphics/paint scheme. Question - would the dragster headers be more aerodynamic?

This is an AMT kit that was given to me years ago. I decided to build it with inspiration from my childhood. Sometimes we would eat at a diner in Sherburne, NY. Across the street was a garage and sometimes I would see the #33 modified sitting in there. It was a car driven by Bill Wimble. I never saw him drive. I wish I had. This kit has a tube frame. I don't know if Bill ever had a car with that type of frame, but this is what I went with. It was a fun build. I used Tamiya paints for the body and frame. The engine, fuel cell, radiator, etc. were painted with Testors Metalizer paints. Thanks for looking. Comments are welcome.

Tim, I'm speechless again. Your progress....... It was great seeing you back in June and your selfless attitude is much appreciated with the advice and things you share. Dave

Great job!!!

Great job !!! How do you end up with consistent silver dots on the rear side windows? I have a handful of NASCAR builds to finish and that part always baffles me. Appreciate any help. Dave

My work is so Neanderthal compared to what you guys do. But your posts are very inspiring and fuels the fire to be better. Dave

Dave, so great to see your latest posts on this car. FANTASTIC. I remember seeing your cars in person at a show near Pottstown. It might have been 2013? Very inspiring. Dave

Thanks Anton. I need to finish my other Interstate Batteries builds. Thanks for your comment. My sister and I were supposed to go to Sweden this year, but due to the pandemic and crazy rise in airfare we decided to wait a while.

Looks great. The paint and graphics are awesome.

BEAUTIFUL !! Looks like it could start up.

Someone needs to come up with more adjectives for us. Tim, SO great to see you're back at the bench and of course you didn't forget. All the experience, ideas, and motivation was there all along, just waiting. Thanks for giving us inspiration. Dave

Francis, I wish my vocabulary was extensive enough to express what I've seen, as we all have. The posts of this truck are like going to class and learning and being inspired. I've taken some screenshots of your pics and now need to shrink them in Photoshop to better understand what your truck would look like in person. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. I look forward to more. Dave

Bob, this is looking really good. I also like the black headers. You might want to try a Pro Tech distributor kit next time. They have good detail. A black wash on the radiator really helps, also on the engine and in the wheels around the lug nuts. Just a slight wash. I've found a mock up of parts before anything is painted will show you any problems with fit and can be dealt with before glue and paint. I use Ailene's glue, it's a white glue that comes off easily. A tip given to me by John Teresi. I am working on the AMT 37 Chevy modified. Looking forward to more of your updates. Dave

This is a really cool project. Well done!!

Thanks guys for the comments and encouragement. I have two more Interstate Batteries cars in the works. One is the Hot Rod/Interstate Grand Prix and the other is the Small Soldiers/Interstate Grand Prix. Thanks for checking this out. I hope to add updates soon. Stay healthy.

This '69 is looking great so far. Those wheels really fit the need. Looking forward to more.

Looks great Anton. I love the color. Last November I retired from working at a printing company and the last two years they were printing Porsche Panorama magazine. There are always great quality photos in it. Dave

Francis, I always love to see your results. The contrast of gray and green will look awesome and the alternator is too. Wow!!

Looks really good crowe-t. Keep going......

This is a great project. Good to hear you're doing better. I'm looking forward to more updates. Dave

Super update Ian. Looking forward to more of your talent

Tim, it's always great to see what you've done. That rear and brakes are (no words are adequate)...... Dave

Francis, I'm just now catching up on some builds here and your progress is Fantastic. I need to go back and see how you made the headers. Great inspiration for us to see your updates. Dave

Looks great!!!

Tim, they look great!! Just my opinion, I like the shape of the Maverick over the Mustang II. Looks a bit more aerodynamic. But either way I'm sure your build will be awesome. Dave
