Welcome to the craziness!

This scale is really quite enjoyable, Dave. However, you will need to watch out when those bomber builds start calling your name!

It took awhile, but never underestimate the power of the Dark Side :)

Dave that will be a cool build. I have thought about doing a 1/24 or two myself someday. But using a vac form body.

I'll be watching the Matador come to life. :handgestures-thumbup:

I think the AMC is a great choice to build. I like some variety on the track.

Looking good. And since you have a copy of the rules, I know it's legal. :D

You guys are spoilt for choice!

Going to be a winner Dave, their Mavericks will either rust to pieces or not get any spark...

Ah, but you don't have the addendums. That would be another 40 pounds of paper. Then there's Part2, plus addendums. You do have a two car garage, right? We had some of the boys at the commercial raceway write them up...

Dave it looks great. I wonder if Tim at slotcars4u has them in 1/32, because he can enlarge to 1/24 sometimes. I can write him, if you like.
