    I've been trying to do some research on Maverick's for a "scale" project, figured I may as well jump in, boots'n'all, as they say....:)
    I haven't checked all the photo sections yet, so I wont bore you with a lot of weird questions....LOL

    What I'm building is a 1/25th scale replica of Dyno Dons Maverick from the early 70's.It's an old kit, very simplified in detail, so, I'm fitting a lot more detailed chassis and running gear under it.

    I know, it's not "full size", but I hope to show you all, once completed...:)

    Anyway, great being here.See ya'all soon

    Hey, Thanks guys.:)

    Corbin, I sure will.
    Hope this will give you an idea. (not much Ford stuff yet, sorry :slap: )

    http://public.fotki.com/Greg5000/

    Fotki link contains most of the models I've completed over the years. Most of 'em are within the last 5 years, the older stuff didn't make it....LOL
    I've only recently completed the red '68, took out 1st. "post 49 Modified" at its first showing last weekend.:)

    Rick, no, not related. Kool builds though. Thanks for the link.(y)

    cheers stump

    Nope its the new release Johan kit with wheels and seats and a few other items from a 70 mustang kit. I still need to put the decals on it and a few other things. Its taking me longer to build than most full size cars.
    Later Tim "my comet gt"

    Your cars look good, Stump. Not enough realistic blood sweat and tears underneath the hood for a lot of us, other than that, real nice. (y)
