1960 Metal-Cal Spl.

Can't leave Calvin out of it!
Here's Classic Racing Resins kit of the Metal-Cal Special. I actually built this about two years ago but computer trouble prevented me from posting it.

Outstanding! The best one I've ever seen. This kit was made as a gift for the late Craig Miller 9 years ago and I only had intentions to sell a few and that was it. So thats why I didn't invest much money into it. But crazy enough, people are still willing to buy it, eventhough it's very simple and just basic hardware and no white metal.

Yet another truly incredible build. Keep them coming. I love them all.

Truly a work of art. Where did you get the fasteners for the seat and windshield?

That's absolutely beautiful Craig.  I don't know how you do it in that scale.

Man Craig..that car looks awesome. The paint and clear coat are off the wall.

Top notch build! Nice work, Craig.

Beautiful build!

Are those real rivets around the seat and windsceen?

Beautiful build. Dad would have loved it. Here's the original one from Calvin. It was one of his favorites as he was a huge Jimmy Bryan fan.






Forgive the photos not being the best quality but I need to find the key to the display case.

Yes, made by Hobby Designs. It was nice not having to glue the wind screen on!

Thank you! I have one of the Eagle kits that I believe your father made. That must have kept him busy!

Thanks Calvin, I really enjoyed the kit. I think it's a great concept for a kit. All the parts a person needs with just a bit of scratch building thrown in. Plus the proper decals. I'd love to see more like it.

Any idea Calvin when this kit will be available again?

I have no idea...I released a few kits a month ago and they sold out instantly. Mold broke right after that. It just comes down to time and which kits I get to and what takes priority first.

Bummer...
