Boy do you work fast James. Paintjob and decals look fantastic. The hoodpins are very impressive.

You say, you made some drivers gloves. Made as in sculpted them your self or is it am parts?

Once again James another great looking NASCAR. I really enjoyed seeing all the progress photos. I myself have 150+ NASCAR kits around the house, even some of the older ones. Your last two are giving me the bug to pull one out. What's next on your list.

Oh yeah...who's your favorite driver or drivers. Yes I'm a #24 Gorden fan, have been since his Busch days. Also like Carl (flipper) Edwards, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle...just to name a few.

That is really nice.

Two things - I'd love to see a highgloss, natural light photo (outside) - just cuz I think it will look awsome.

Second - I would really like to see at least a Model On Display feature out of this, if you have time, energy and desire, maybe even build story feature out of it. (hint hint on the 24 car too).

Great work.
