This is a model I did when the midgets first came out. Don't think it has been on this forum.

I am glad you like it. 

And thanks for the reply.  Lots of people look, but there is not much talk back.  I don't know what's going on.  I miss the exchange of info, thoughts and ideas.

I may can post a short track Buick LM later today.  I don't think it ever made Fred's or here.

John, as always you have produced an outstanding model.  I missed those midgets when they were first introduced, never really had an interest in them.  However, I was watching "Overhaulin" the other night and saw, what I think may have been a 1/4 midget in the background.  Kind of got me to thinking I might like to try one.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

Nice builds John. Both the midget and the truck look great.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of builders have moved to Facebook. I do post on Facebook but prefer the forums.
I believe, I saw this forum has around 180 members, but very few post anything. There are a lot of great people on here willing to help fellow builders. I have made many trades and received parts from fellow members at no cost. I never had a problem with anyone.
Let's hope posts and comments will pick up here but it's doubtful.

Nice looking rig there John! I bought one of those midgets one and looked at all the itty bitty parts and turned around and sold it!  Thanks for posting. Tb

Yes, the small parts are different.  I do appreciate the comments.

I don't do Facebook, and I won't.

That's a very good looking team John. I've got a few of these and haven't got to them yet. I built the 1/18 monogram midget and the 1/18 late 60's dirt sprint/super modified and went on to fendered cars for a while. Seeing this makes me want to get to a few. Thanks for posting...

That's a nice combo you've got there. Put a few things in the bed of the truck and it's off to the races.

I bought several of these kits and built a few. The model goes together so well that the small parts aren't really a problem so I encourage more of you to build one.

Never had the desire to join Facebook. I look at most models on this site but don't comment much because I just don't. Nothing against the models I see it's just how I am. Maybe I should say more to support the builder and the site.
