Kevin O'Connor readies his Regner Konrad.
Rat rods were in abundance
1/24th - 1/25th scale cars need to be well executed to hold up to this kind of scrutiny
Virtually all of the models on display were up to the "macro test"
These cars have me thinking about getting back into the hobby
It's hard to resist such a simple but elegant car like this
Here's a classic salt flat racer
I wonder if these cars are appealing because we would like to own the real McCoy?
Or are we simply expressing our interest in days gone by?
It almost looks like you can jump in and peel out...
Here's a nice garage diorama
A modern era Funny Car (at least compared to when I was building them)
A buddy of mine had a nice 1:1 version a couple of decades back
More of John Teresi's incredible paint work
The full size one carries a hefty price tag
This reminds me of late nights at the Ladera Chevron station so many years ago...
