Careful, it's almost as addictive as the real thing...

Just so happens about 6 months ago I found a 5th Gen Monte...
Its actually a circle track... I'm going to my darnedest to bring it to a stocker like mine...

Today I ended up at Hobby Lobby. (Of all places) So, I happen to find a Model section... Unfortunately no 5th gen...BUT! I did happen to buy some glue, Paint etc... Maybe.. I will have it ready before spring...lmao.

Anyway... I'm going to start on it tomorrow... So, maybe in a cpl days I will have to post here as well!
What a coincidence...... at least it's all exterior mods and no engine and exhaust work...... Now I'm looking into how to lower mine...

That is very cool Jerry... I have always gotten a kick out of showing the minis beside my rides... I had a 1970 GTO Judge and the mini was a plastic model kit, before these great die-casts that last forever... When I am at a show I usually put it on top of the engine cover for some laughs and giggles...... Noticed the Impala had the red stripe, did you apply that?...
