Re: Does anyone else build model cars ?
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.

Re: Does anyone else build model cars ?
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 !

Re: Does anyone else build model cars ?
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.

Re: Does anyone else build model cars ?
Awesome is a pretty good word to describe it!
Really nice job. So, Charley, do you own that model, or does the builder still own it?
