68Chevelle

Guess I'm sort a like your sig but in a reverse way----couldn't build a Revell model of my car so I built another dragster----and they then made it too---my model building more or less fits the 1320inc 1/25 diecast---but Coyote does a good job

well about 33 years ago Jerry my buddy had a model of your car but some how the hemi ended up in a my 57 chevy along with the slicks . did alot of welding with a hot knife over Moms stove when she was at work she had a lot of blue tip knifes. i did some of the die cast hubbly and gabriel kits .i move up to the arc welder and Oxy torch

I loved models as a kid, and got pretty involved. About 12 years ago, a friend and his son showed me some they were building. I decided to build one more.

About 8 years later, I decided I was spending too much time on this effort ...putting on an annual contest in Phoenix ...writing coverage for a magazine ...scratchbuilding prototypes for a small resin casting company ...and trying to raise the bar every time I built. I had just won a two year long national contest, and I decided I could never do better, so I quit. (...for now).

It is not easy to realize you are obsessive-compulsive later in life! :-)

On another note, I have a 2010 Camaro that will be coming in for paint graphics. (a full-sized one) We are talking about things that will ressemble the graphics or trim of a 1969 model, such as factory inspired Z-28, SS, or RS graphics, and such. I certainly hope your "Yenko" will be done with some traditional stripes. It seems a natural! :-)
