I built a Hemi Under Glass kit several years ago,,,and in a foolish moment sold it on Ebay,,,I will not make that mistake again. But I do have one of the repops in the stash for,,,later. About 15 years ago I did pick up a started original issue Comet from a friend of mine. Dug it out and painted / decaled it sometime last year .. and it has sat in the corner of the model bench since. Sad part is I could have it done and in the case in a day ,,or less

Just simple white board stood up and a second one as a base . No frills no fuss. Depending on the builds color, I may also use a colored towl drapped over a chair

Same here. I built model cars when I was a kid ( I've been a gear head my entire life) And have always liked the drag cars from that time. Thus my collection is what it is today

Define, basically. ? I've built one of the Fugimi kits a few years back,, and this car is nothing like it detail wise . This one seems to have much more intricate suspenion stuff as well as opening doors , wire wheels , etc

I did this one probably 10 years ago. And I am real happy with how it turned out . I think it's testors gloss black with testors clear very light sanded between the color and clear coats with nothing but a waxing on the final coat It wasnt prepped or treated any different than any other color I use. It doesnt have that mile deep look to it,,,,,,,,,then again neither did the car I was trying to replicate. So it thats what your after try the above methods. It's just like the fullsize cars,,,know what you want in the finished prodect BEFORE you start said project.

I thought they were the same kit ,,save for the wheels

WOW. VERY impressive is an understatement

Closest I would say I have to duplicates would be 4 total of the Lindberg 1964 Dodges, 3 white and 1 black. But all 4 in different liverys ( exterior lettering ) though 3 of them are red inter , 1 is tan . All crossram Hemi powered

Nope, We didnt go out past Bisbee. We wanted to get back to my sister in laws in Saharita for the NFL playoff games

Can anyone identify this .. I got it in a parts box stash a loooong time ago.... I have no idea who made it or what year/body style its supposed to represent

A couple of good places to look around as well for OE stock Mopar stuff http://www.iccahome.org/ http://www.moparaction.com/Article/PoP/PoP.html

Mopar undercarriages were a medium grey in color for MOST build plants. ,,, The undercarriage of an LA Plant built was black . All would have a slight body color over spray along the rocker panels ,,exactly how much varied from car to car. The there are/were cars that received factory underocating,,they would all be a rough textured black. Rear axle was a low gloss black , regardless of axle type. The only exception to this would be the center section/carrier only on an 8-3/4 would be bare iron color. Here is a pretty decent undercariage show , 1970 Challenger ,,I think the lighting is making the primer color look darker then it actually is because I dont think this car was an LA plant build

While vactioning in AZ over the holidays last week. . we went to Bisbee AZ for the day. Saw a dark green Lutus Elan parked on the street

Looks pretty accurate to me

Those guys are nuts,,,,,,,,,but I would love to ride along in one someday. It looks like fun.

Did this one many years ago and is the only one of these kits I have finished to date. And will definitly pick up a couple of the Chezoom Corvairs just for grins I really like the kit, simple but looks pretty cool in the dispaly case. Its Testors color by Boyd color ( no idea the name of it ) . basic spark plug wiring and some machined injector stacks to replace the awful kit pieces . Otherwise it's box stock

This is cool,,,expensive,,, but cool none the less. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Corvette-SR-2-Sebring-Racer-6-885-million-1956-corvette-sr-2-sebring-racer-/381108448327?forcerrptr=true&hash=item58bbd56c47&item=381108448327&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

Looks like the Revell kit ,,which is 1/25th scale .

Ok, I have a in the near future build in mind to do the Red Alert superstock . I have the current AMT kit ,,is it pretty close ?

Ditto No model drag car collection is complete without a Wild Willie Altered. I have one and I'm not an altered fan

I have nearly a dozen of these kits in various interperations,,,,,But I plan to buy one of these,,solely because of the box artwork. I build old drag cars and this box just screams at me I NEED it . But ,,Yes if the price is right and the box artwork depicts the cars/style/era I like. I would buy an empty box . As an example there is an old AMT Corvette I wouldnt mind having the box ,even if it was empty. IF it is reasonablely priced

hard to say,,,may just be the angle of the picture. could be the tubes are to thick

I havent built this example ,,,but have done several others .I am out of town this week but can post a few pics next week when i get back home if wanted Overall,,,getting the chassis straight is finicky. Otherwise it's one of my favorite kits to build

so far so good. hopefully the grille / headlight surrounds fit to the body will be finessed a touch more

for those that have used it,,what do you use for the ft windshield on the speed city resin body? looks like it has some serious compound curves to make one from scratch
