Small versons of what you guys build and race.

This is another form of "Small Version"
I got them this morning from Rich Oakes. We are both "Fly Boys" and pass around pictures and info about anything that flies or is military. Check it out. They are a little long, but worth it. This guy is not only a good fabricator, he is a good pilot. (check out the last one!) Hope you enjoy it.

I'm new to this board and I too love Stock and Super stock cars. I don't care about the pro cars except for old 70's cars. I too build models of these cars when I get time. I have been working on a model of my buddy Kip Martin's SS/L Mustang. That is an awesome car. I have the body painted and decaled, I made my own decals for the KMR logo from a big decal he gave me when I lived in Phoenix and worked with him. The roll cage is giving me trouble right now, so I temporarily shelfed it but now that I'm a member of this board I should be pumped up to get back to it. Maybe I can mix that in with the Wally Booth Pro stock Gremlin I'm currently working on. Hopefully I can get some pictures on one of these days.

I had won 6 out of 7 first place and won grand prize and first place out of 248 cars when I was younger and I must say you are an amazing builder. The backdrops do make it look SO real. I've always found that when you take a picture on cement it really adds to the realism. I remember my brother telling me I could afford to race if I quit the models, so I did. But that was in the late 70's. GREAT JOB THERE! I too love the chevelle wagon and the others are just as amazing.
Speaking of Wally Booth's Gremlin I had an 8x10 photo of it SIGNED BY him and RONNY SOX when I was a kid and I lost it...

Bummer! I had quite a few "valuables" like that, that I also lost. Too bad we didn't know enough to guard them better!

Very cool! That is quite the talent and patience you possess!

Thanks! I appreciate that!

I can relate to having cars that I'll never be able to own. They may be two dimensional, but they're mine

Have you ever post pics of it on the internet before. If you have, I am sure I have saved the photos. But I am always up for more.
The one that I am building is going to be more of a tubbed S/ST. I love tubbed wagons and the 66-67 are one of my favorate. There was never a model of a 66 wagon before. So I am having to make it. I will post some photos of what I got so far.
