Since reading this thread when it was first posted and thinking about what I’d like to build, about all I’ve done is try and hit my goal of building all of the stuff I wanted to this year. I should’ve made a shorter list - it was a LOT of work 🤪 Here’s the list I made at the start of the year: You say you didn't do a show rod but I thought you did an unreal roller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started one - had an idea on how to do the paint to look like the original box art but I wasn’t happy with it…needs another go-round!

I have about 20 other future projects not listed. Then the random 'I have to do this one just because' which will not be announced. Ew, this hurts. Only 3 of those got built.

W Humble Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I'm hoping to finish: A Burrago die cast 1/25 Datsun 240Z (Tom Daniels restyle -- not good) as a Pete Brock themed drag car; full John Morton race #46 decals, a Chevy 348 converted with BBC valve covers into a Datsun V-8 with sprint car stack injection and NOS, roll-cage, comp buckets, and funny car front and rear wheels/tires. Almost finished, looking pretty good. Darned kit didn't come with rear window, and of course rather low detail level. A Maisto die cast 1/16 Studebaker Starliner, repairing the incorrect roof/window profile, repainting something like stock red with off-white roof. Also, making the v-8 look real (only good feature on many Maisto cars; a neat V-12 wiring harness! SIC!) and adding a scratch-built McCulloch blower, air box, tubes and air cleaner. This may be a diorama, posed in front of a old-timey billboard for an area Stude dealer (Yuba City CA, for Dragonlady IPMS friends) who put ads in old Pop Mech mags saying "Drive a ___ Studebaker, and eat no man's dust" and "___ Studebaker: we make the Hawk fly!" Photos eventually! Also some actual plastic kits; more later. Wish me luck; I'm 76! Wick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
