We are on a similar path I have several hundred kits in the pile I want to thin that down to some kind of realistic goal in mind Keeping most of the drag car kits and some late 50s annuals or stock releases I want to build that aren't avail today The rest is going away and Im looking for shows to set up a table at and try to move some of this

nice

Excellent work I have the Jungle Jim car I built many many years ago Also have a Barry Setzer Vega FC done in the case ( MPC kit ) I also have the Jim Green car started using an old MPC kit ,( had decals issues ) So shelved it . I Need to get back to that one day here soon

I have 4 wall cases NASCAR Diecast Model Car Display Case 24 Car 1/24 scale 3 are packed full, The last one I just got this past spring and its almost half full already I plan to get another this winter maybe

Received my order from Mad Modeling yesterday. 3 Resin 727 transmissions and 3 pre wired dists

nice . thanks for the pics

Agreed 100% When ever I take a kit out of the box , ANY kit , old or new - newer I lay everything out on the counter and make sure its flat Then really look the body and related components to make sure there's not warpage I'll do a very basic dry assembly of major components , Body , hood , glass , chassis etc etc Nothing worse than finding out AFTER its all painted the car doesn't sit flat and square to the surface

Looks killer I built this same kit about 15 years ago I think

Amazon

I brushed some on vent wing frames. I have to say. Im impressed

Nice I built one back when i was a kid Built it again about 8 - 9 years ago. 2nd one turned out much better

I decided to try and push my luck , try option C Cut 2 tiny pieces of plastiruc and superglued them in place. And BMF over them. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself The vent wing frames are the new Fusion Chrome paint. Applied with a very tiny sharp tip brush

My least favorite part of modeling . The BMF work I've actually been putting this off doing for a few days So I'm quite glad that's out of the way Need to figure out how or if I want to attempt to try and fill the slot in the door for the drivers side mirror I completely missed before they were painted Options are A- leave it and have a hole B- install the mirrors which Im almost positive an A990 car never had? C - Attempt to fill them with tiny pieces of plastic and make a 'faux pas ' mirror delete plate ?

Rare? Not really. Desirable? Yes. Its a great kit Expensive? All depends on the buyer. Most I've seen actually sell are in the $40-50 range I sold 2 of them last year. One molded white. The other that blue green color Neither one brought over $60 and I had aftermkt decals in both One each Mickey Thompson and Keeling Clayton sheets

nice,'' I have this same kit , only convertible I started the redo a few months back. But Im not happy with the paint result . SO it sits until I either decide to strip or. Or just suck it up and push it across the finish line

Had some time this morning so finished off the 2 interiors. Sanded the molded in radio out and put some aftermkt gauge decals in there place. Column auto for the Burgess car on the left 4spd for the Leal car on the right

Nice list. great cars btw

Found, Thanks to Jeff, AKA Altered Ego

Nice,' I just got these very decals a few weeks ago . So i have this very same build on my short list. Very short list

Same here. This is one kit where a stock version doesn't interest me at all Drag car and Im all in

All the decals are all one piece None are multi layer The side decals are 2 pieces. The ft fender sections are one. and from ft door seam back is 2nd piece When or where I bought them I dont remember,,,, as I've had them for years The comp was Performance Detail Products and are long gone as far as I know Chris Walsh makes a set today,,,,, for either the original car OR the restored modern version Items for sale by rpols6 | eBay

Just an FYI, ( in case it matters ) but the exhaust in this kit is wrong. They never had an H pipe. ( crossover in between the 2 head pipes )

Thanks Tim I had it mocked up per the instructions and Not sure I cared for the look Gives it an at speed look And If I were doing a diorama. I might be more inclined to build it that way, Same goes for the Burgess car Like so ps, Im also leaning towards just using the kits chrome wheels, even though they are not "correct' for the Leal car Seems most of his car had bling so to speak. pss, Seems the Burgess car ran a roll bar. Whereas the Leal car did not.

Yes I believe i have one coming

A dry assemble to ck the stance and wheel choice Im undecided if I'm going to use these wheels Or not ...... This is 'opposite' of how the instructions say to install the ft spindles . and It lowers the ft end a good bit I think I like this better. More of an 'at rest' photo so to speak. Anyone else completed this car to show it both ways ?
