PICS - Any old drag race fans around here? These were local favorites where I grew up.
No big deal, but fun memories of bygone days.photo no longer available

Indeed you do, Marty. The collection is growing! Love the JJ Nova.

Hands down the BEST custom-build-diecast collection of vinatge '60's 1/18 gassers around. Period!
To posses the determination, ingenuity and patience to accomplish such a task (and long standing personal goal) one deserves great recognition. IMO, these finely crafted 1/18 diecast replicas, as a collection, should ultimately be displayed for all the public to see. The Petersen Automotive Museum (Los Angeles, CA) would be an honorable and suitable location to showcase such a collection.
Job well done Mr. Johnson!

I remember eagerly looking forward to every post that Marlowe and
Chris would make to show us how their custom creations were coming along. You guys are the best. Thanks for the memories as Bob would say!

Well thanks Steve, very nice of you to include me. Marlowe's tenacity is something I could....
...use. Far too often, I simply limit myself to being an "idea man." Marlowe's personal drive & determination are qualities I wish I had more of. His output of 1/18 custom models is impressive!

+ 1 ... Chris - you said it best ... Marlowe Talent is off tha charts
