All I know about this car is that one of my favorite modelers, Chris Smock, must have had his mind in overdrive to come up with this build! |

Gary Davis built this awesome Mustang II. I believe the tires and rims are from JMAC Engineering. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding a few after market, and home made parts really added to the underhood detail. |
|
|
|

|

I really like the way Gary added the rear light covers, and the two tone paint is Killer! |

This is Clay Kemps version of the Scott Bloomquist #18. |

Another truely awesome build by Clay Kemp. I believe it's a representation of a Tony Stewart sprint/midget. |

Clay's attention to detail is unbelievable! I promise to post more as I get them. |

Chris Smock's Pinto Wagon looks ready for action doesn't it? This thing is Wicked! |
|

Chris used our Pinto body, R-017 rims, and a set of our valve covers on this project. |
|

I love the color combinations, and check out the spoiler and drilled out bumper. Another great build Chris! |

Richard Sipos tells me he grafted the 40 Ford and 36 Ford to make this 37 Ford Coupe. Nice job Rich! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He also advises that the tires are his own creation as well as the rims being made from brass tubing! I like the partial fender look. |

Very Nice Work! I'm glad you sent these in for all of us to enjoy, Thanks. |

How would you like to see this coming at you in a rear view mirror? |

Here's what Rich calles his "Evolution of the Modified". Excellent Job Rich! |

Charles Upton's Monte Carlo looks like it just pulled off the track. This is "Privateer" on the Forum. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
This is built up from one of the Super Stocker kits, but Charles certainly put some nice added touches to it! |

Check this out! You can see the mechanics greasy paw prints still on the radator! Now that's detail. |

Rub marks and scrapes show he's obviously been pushing somebody up and out of the groove. |

Here's a good example of what a set of hood pins can do for a model. If you have never tried a set, please do. |

WOW!, How about Clark's #17 Tobias car? This is some really different stuff here, I love it! |

Your not just looking at some models here, your looking at "nostalgia" "history" in plastic, and someone who has managed to keep and take care of his kits over time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not even sure what came in some of these kits, but if your ever on the Forum, E-mail Ed, I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you. |

These last two really are neat little gems. I wish I could see these right close. |

Thanks Ed, for letting us enjoy this Blast from the Past. I'm sure a lot of us wish we still had these! |

I couldn't hardly wait to get this car posted. Jim White really got it together doing this Grant King Sprint. |

He says it 's basiclly box stock minus the roll cage. It sure is one heck of a nice car Jim, Thanks. |

Scott Pacich did a extreme amount of fabrication to duplicate this short track screamer. |
|
|
|
|
|

I saw pictures of the real car and this thing is right on the money! Thanks, Scott. |

Scott Pacich built this early Sedan modified and did a fantastic job. I'll try and get more detail on this car. |
|

Here's another of Scott's modifieds and it's just as well built, hand numbered as well I believe. Thanks, Scott |

Al Tasnady's "Gypsy" was excellently built by John Canfield. Very Nice! |

This Grant King Sprint by Jim White is really a killer looking Sprint. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

I don't think I have ever completed a Sprint car but I hope I can come close to Jims builds when I do. |
|

Jim has used quite a few of the more current Sprint kit parts and combined them with the GK kit. Excellent Jim! |

Here's my buddy Ricky Moore's Pinto and 72 Chevy Hauler. Ricky did EXTENSIVE work to get the wedge body just right on this rig. |
