I still have to get a copy of it, still haven't seen my car in there as of yet....

[Gary Davis]

I haven't got one either. Need to do that....

Might have to complain to Scale Auto on a couple of things....
In the 2017 issue they posted the same build, though from 2 different shows.
But, what caught my eye, was a build of the AMT Modified stocker, same build, #8 painted yellow, from the Buckeye Classic from Columbus OH, 03/.25/2012
AND from the Buckeye Classic, from Hilliard, OH, 03/18/2017, at nearly the same angle.....

Why I had the 2012 issue out, I have no idea......

This is why I quit buying the mag! They repeat articles all the time and the editing stinks!

   I think that " favoritism " is probably age old, and in a lot of things.  I like the way the Memphis guys did theirs.   They had their own members show on a separate table from the main show.

   It would be nice to see pictures of the 3 aforementioned models on these pages, if you guys can do it for us.

Ok John.... Here's the 31 ford DIRT MODIFIED......I haven't seen it yet as I don't have that rag. I do remember what show it was at though. It was at Mt Vernon Wa...if that helps ya any... LOL  I think I'll post more pics of it in the open wheel section so I can describe what was all done with pics...if that's ok? Here's a few to start with....

   Yes.  Thank you.  It was worth my asking for.

THAT car is amazing!

I love the little square coupes! The model A is my favorite! Great looking build, Gary! Almost looks like it could race in Wisconsin!

[James2]

That green machine is OUTSTANDING!

I'll post pics of my 40 Ford later today...
