Man Rett...I thought I'd posted on this one. That's a great looking replica!!

  What a great replica build .... its just too bad that there was not a whole lot of color photos from back in the day....you did the Blue oval proud with this one.
The only heroes in Washington are buried just outside of it in Arlington

Lots of memories is right! Even some of the wrecks are remembered fondly. A lot of good friends from those days, and I wouldn't trade them or the memories for anything....I'm still in touch with a lot of the guys that put the dents in that car!!!

Rett;

 Don’t cull all those 62 ragtops, they were pretty popular when they allowed convertibles, in fact I think they might have been the most popular out here on the left coast.

Had to laugh, just went on E-bay to check. There is a '62 galaxie  promo 20.50 and it's painted the same as my race car was! This one will go for big money!

Great job, Rett.
Reminds me of the old Santa Fe Speedway cars "Back in the Day."

Thanks for all the comments guys! That was a great car for me. I'm happy with the way the model turned out too. Can't ask for much more than that!! Think I'll be starting on one of my Late Models pretty soon. Hopefully it will turn out as well!
