The file on your AOL site doesn't have the ".jpg" extension. Change the file name then, here on your message board posting, surround the file name with [img] and [/img] to make it appear in your message. Car looks sweet.

That one looks great! Where'd you get the Stinger hood? I don't get a chance to do much actual building (I still seem to collect them though..).
I frequent these sites also:
http://www.modelcarkits.com/cgi-bin/webbbs/board.cgi
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StraightLineModeler
Both of these boards are great for ideas and info. Keep up the great work.

Nice model. Here is a working link to your Yenko:

I like modeling too, but I do radio controlled Musclecars. It is fun to run these things around in the parking lot at car shows. Here are a couple of links. Sorry about including the Ford but this Boss 429 is a cool model, very fast too.

Here are some of my Novas.

I don't build models ,but I do collect the diecasts. I just switched to muscle cars from nascar(#3). I have got about 25 or 30 so far. lane is by far the best I've seen.
some of my cars include the restored/unrestored 69 SS 396,a fantom green yenko,and I have preordered the 67 & 68 yenkos from lane.

I kind of stopped building them a few years ago.....after I built a 62 Belair Nascar...Rex White car...I put hundreds worth of photo etched stuff...lug nuts..plugs,complete wiring,carb springs,fuel lines ,aluminum interior,dual shocks,hhod pins,....all the trick period nascar stuff...It was awsum.Showed it at the Nationals a few years back and they didnt even hardly look at it.I was a little behind the times....Jeez these guys are doing motor cut-aways & stuff now ! making pistons ,cams etc ! I gave up...you need a jewelers magnifier to even get close to competing now..Hope my son has patience.Have a couple hundred for him to do when he grows up !

Wow - with all those parts it should have been able to start up and drive. I have seen some of the high end models and can't believe the detail work on them.
