I don't, but looking forward to seeing the quality work you do.
Maybe a junkyard or a 1950s dirt track diorama?
Don't know, but I'm betting they will be great builds. Looks like about a year's worth of work to me.
I plan to do the complete modified racing team for 1955 of the Fish Carburetor Corp.
Found some supercool videos on Youtube of the Daytona beach races.
The color combo blue/light blue and white suites them very well.
Even the 1955 Buick, Fireball raced at Nascar events, is there...
Look at those exhaust pipes of the Ford sedan, is this kinda cool or what?

Now that's gonna be pretty doggone cool!!!
Like what you are trying to do. Keep us posted
That's an awesome idea, Michael and you really have your work cut out for you. I'm really looking forward to The Fireball Buick. Where did you ever find a kit for that?
Mark,
as far as i know, there is no kit for the ´55 Buick.
I use the 1/26 Maisto police Buick with some modifications :D
Cool. I'm glad you could find something that worked. Looking forward to the wips and final photos.
Bodywork finished (except the ´55 Buick) on the Fish Carb. racing team:

And the wheels.
The supercool rear wheels with the finned hubs are from Ron Coon resins, very nice stuff:

Man, look at you go! Very well thought out, and organized procedure.
Well, are you done yet? We are anxiously waiting. Definitely a very ambitious project. Looking forward to your build progress on these historic icons. Beware the glue fumes. ::)
:D :D
There are still a few little things to do :)
Today i painted the darkblue areas. The M5, outer left one, is the only car without
lightblue painted parts.

Coming along nicely. Nice work.
Put the wheels and some more paint on ´em.
I have all the decals now in my stash and will start to attach them next few days.
The background, the front of the Fish Carb. company, is in planning...
