time here is 4:50. How can that be ?

The repaint in black looks great with the gold , them M/T motors are great for the classis racers. A lot more like real.

Great looking car. Those remotored Monogram GS Vettes and Shelby Daytonas are a blast to run.

Ok, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes, I was able to pick up three Monogram Cobras , and I am planning on repainting them, what I need to know is, what is the best way to get the old paint and decals off without messing up the body, I just I do not want to mess up the bodies at all. I want to paint one black and the other red. Just trying to get as much info as I can before jumping into it. It doesn't look like there are many places that have replacement parts for these cars

Was able to get 5 used ones from Cinncy Slots, 2 of them hav the same numbers and paint. want to change them around, was looking at pictures of the cars they drove in that era, the only one that looked good was the red. Thinking of painting the other a metallic black. I will have all winter to get them done

Make that 3 Cobras , but I have 5 total , of the Monogram style chassis cars, so I will be repainting a couple of them, not sure right now if I will renumber them or just leave them be, will only know when I get done painting them to see, maybe they might look good without the numbers. Nice paint job on the Vette

I find a thumbnail slips off everything very well.

I took it all the way down to the plastic, planing on repainting it either yellow with black stripes, or red with black stripes, not sure just yet , I have other colors of paint to choose from, I wanted to keep close to what they might have had, when the cars were running back in the day . But I am leaning toward, the yellow with black stripes . The way I was planning on doing it is clear primer , then a coat of black, lay the stripes out, then a coat of yellow, maybe two coats to cover the black, then pull the tape off to show the black. I want to do a Camaro like that in 1/24 scale like the Transformer Bumble Bee, and I have two 1/24 scale bodies, a 1970 and a 2016 Camaro to do like that. My grandson is into those movies because of the cars so I figured he might like them
