Just to make sure that I don't leave anybody out.Holiday Wishes to all the Ford fans..................... the Chevy fans................. the Pontiac fans................ the Plymouth fans.................... the Dodge...
First time I've done anything with it since I first made it over 25 years ago. I added the updated logos with the '64 Ford to replace the '61. If I live long enough I'm building a yellow one just like that. Also replaced all the pics with better...
Southern 500 Memories- the REAL ONE-on Labor Day Monday in 1/25 scale.Thought I'd bring this back since the race has been brought back to the South, even thouugh it still lacks a few hundred miles being really back home. Hope everyone gets a smile...
With another Labor Day coming and no Southern 500, I thought I'd share this little story I wrote about the convertible division races that were run in the early years of "The Lady in Black". Hope my little 130 MPH stroll down memorys lane is...
Typical for me in the fact that........................there was something going on at a track and I just had to be there...........working hard to get the cars ready and loaded in time and still showing up late................getting to hang out...
It's been forty years since I was at the speedway and it was dark and I was lost when I "found" it so I need something to plug into my friend's GPS so I can find the place tomorrow.
I can't thank Jeff Gilder enough for making me feel so welcome on this board but he outdid even himself with his invitation to Saturday's show. I've got 48 Ol' Redneck Race Cars (1/25 scale) sitting in a show case as we speak while I try to get...
.........the more they stay the same. An old friend of mine from the dirt track days decided he really didn't like cut vinyl lettering as good as the old fashioned OneShot and quill brush style lettering so he asked me if I still did that sort of...
First year for the category and I win it!!!! After sneaking my way into all kinds of magazines, from Scale Auto to Circle Track, I finally get the COVER on one this time. Well, there was that Tom Cruise R/C car on the cover of Racing Collectibles...
........... who would you want to drive for?Well, for me it would be the following...........Superspeedways it could only be the Wood Brothers! Short tracks would have to be Junior Johnson. But the best of all at anywhere you went would have...
Sometimes the transition of power goes easily and sometimes it's a little rocky. Sometimes when the "young Turks" flex their muscles, the old Bull Elephant just isn't ready to go quietly into that dark night. Looks like Tiny and ol' Handsome Harry...
My brother came to see me yesteray and he couldn't wait until Christmas to bring this one over. I love it! And it was built just like the real cars back in the day, before you could just buy the pieces and stick'em together.He was browsing the...
To try to catch the Hemis it seemed that Ford put their big Galaxies on a diet that made the weight loss regime of the drag cars seem like a trip to Baskins-Robbins. Let's just say that from film and photo reference and first hand interviews with...
As if that pesky Ray Fox-Junior Johnson Impala with the hand built "production" 427 engine hadn't been headache enough for Holman Moody, they had a nasty surprise waiting on them as they rolled into Daytona fresh off their sweep of Riverside's...
Ford struggled with their '62 Galaxies on the superspeedways because of the boxy roof lines. While managing to register wins at both Charlotte and Darlington with the "boxtop" cars it was Lorenzen's win at the rain shortened Atlanta 500 that...
