A slight snafu ( dropped it this morning ) I think I better call this one done and walk away . Basically box stock with exception to the MAD pre wired dist and Slixx decals Paint is Tamiya Metallic blue with duplicolor semi gloss black interior, Engine is a True Value rattlecan Pumpkin orange to give the looks of Race Hemi Orange My decals ae getting old and they had some cracking issues So its not flawless . BUT, I can live with it Imo. These cars make GREAT looking race cars

Where is Chad with R2 February news?

See there, We are total opposites. I'll TYPICALLY , just buy kits of vintage American cars, And MOST of them are either Round 2 or Revell Although I do have maybe half dozen or so 20-30s era classic big touring cars IMO Its a good thing we all dont like the same thing. It would get boring I like looking at some of the Imported cars/kits. But deep down zero interest to tie up space in the display for them -
Well, I gues sthe cat is out of the bag , so to speak. Its The Larry Griffith 1968 SS / A Hemi dart Got the body painted yesterday . Decals today ( THAT was fun . ) My Slixx decals are starting to get old, And Even though I put a clear topcoat of these before working with them . I still had cracking issues I had a MAD pre wired dist, so decided to use it . Might still add fuel lines . Maybe

Although quite true. Most non mopar people wouldnt know the differences outside of maybe the grill itself -

Agreed, I was told the owner had well into 6 figures in the Woody when it was done -

Im not a street rod guy by any means, BUT, Having used to work in a shop that built high end cars. I can fully appreciate the effort, time and money that goes into these kinds of builds. It takes a team from start to finish and an owner that's committed to bring it to fruition . I used to work for Clay Cook whom built this one https://www.hotrod.com/features/award-winning-1937-ford-woodie-long-way-beach/ In person these cars are phenomenal and like any cars done at this level it would take days to understand and take in all the little details it takes to compete at that level -

Wow. They look good. I'm afraid I'm not getting that detail involved I'm thinking at the most plug wires and fuel lines. Or just keep it box stock????
-
Yes....actually already gone since these pics were taken

I was after ( since found ) a Landy SS/EA Dart kit . This is not Shirley Shahan's car, Good guess. Though, Ive never even considered that one. Might have to look for decals now that you mention it . I have several of these kits on the shelf
-
Nice, I have the decals to do this car. And its on my short list . Probably this summer Chris is the 1st one to finally do this sheet with the correct colors https://www.ebay.com/str/gloryyearsdecalsandgraphics

Hemi was a light pumpkin orange up to 1968. ( aka race hemi orange ) And maybe even some Very early 69 street hemi

1/16th scale California Charger Dragster

Very nice Ive always thought The Keeling - Clayton cars were one of the best looking FED of the era , bar none -
Nothing fancy Probably gonna be a stock box build with exception to aftermkt decals. Been a while since I've done one of these. So felt better ck it closely as I go along. I was actually a little worried I had opened the rear wheel wells to much. But.....I think I have it about right. ( fingers crossed ) Anyone dare a guess which car it's going to be ?

THIS ^^^^ I buy based on subject matter and that alone. Accuracy is secondary If I don't like the subject ( not matter who makes it ) Its simple. I don't buy the kit. -

I built a base line Duster to replicate my brothers 1/1 car. Bought the grille off Ebay 7-8 years ago -

Round 2 was basically created to create and cater to that niche. And I for one, Am ok with it just they way it is. Keep in coming In regards to the other manufacturers in the world today. I have zero interest in 90 % of the kits being produced . Outside of Round 2 and Revell, There is basically no kit that catches my attention But Im not the only one buying model kits either -

agreed, Biggest difference be it the grill and the interior Exhaust is different if you want to get picky -
