Spring break Challenger T/A wip

Well it sspring break and the kid is starting his T/A. Why he gravitates away from Chevy is beyond me. I signed up for the BMF and thats it. He layed down the Panther Pink real nice but got heavy on the clear. He used the Wet Look Testors and it did flow out pretty good outside thank goodness. The wetlook is really shiny...very little orange peel but there is no depth of color so I gave him the 3M and some flannel and had him compound it lightly and it came out near perfect. This is a 2in1 kit and he noticed after paint that he put the wrong rear valance on so he has to go back and get that done. The engine can be built either 440 or 340 but the provision is for a front distributor which will have to be dealt with....here are some initial pics...more to come as it progresses. I hope to be starting my 62 Bonny convert soon so I get to watch another build and no XBox !!

Revell-Germany 1/24 Ferrari California

Wellp, the other day I decided to crack open this kit.  I have mixed feelings about the looks of the actual car.  The front I can live with, but the rear is... well...

So far I have the engine almost done, and I have sprayed the chassis pan and suspension parts.  There are a few more parts to paint, then hopefully I will have the bottom half of the car done.  Not sure how I want to paint the brake rotors.  Need to find out if they all are ceramic, or if that is only an option.  I may keep the plated rims, but apply a semi-gloss clear over them.  Not sure...  Thoughts?

Video: World's Fastest Camaro Hits 253.1mph at Texas Mile

The 2012 Texas Mile run was an enormous success this year, which is evident in the number of records that were broken. We’ve already reported on the Hennessey Twin-Turbo Ford GT that now holds the new world record at the Texas Mile for standing mile, but it’s the Camaro’s turn to take its spot on the podium. A fourth generation Camaro has become the fastest standing mile Camaro in the world with an impressive top speed of 253.1 mph. It doesn’t beat out the Ford for fastest standing mile, but at least it broke the record for its own model.

This was obviously not a stock Camaro. It was built by Late Model Racecraft, owned by Kelly Bise, and driven to success by driver Josh Ledford. The car is powered by a twin-turbocharged engine that will deliver an amazing 1,809 horsepower.

The video shown here includes the impressive run, a series of in-car run images, and some burnouts. Enjoy the video and let us know what you think about the 2012 Texas Mile!
