Does anyone else build model cars ?

[Joe]

I enjoy building model cars I thought i might share my latest build-up with you . It's a Yenko camaro . Let me know what ya think . Members.aol.com/c1run1/68yenko2.jpg Or you can email me for pics . Since i don't know how to post them here without the browser.

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.

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.

I just got the 67 Grumpy's Toy Camaro from Lane.WOW! What a die cast,I think it's one of the best so far.
