    September 11, 2023: Steve is currently in the hospital fighting a serious illness. The best way we can support him at the moment is by watching his TH-cam channel videos on @SteveMagnante. His Barrett Jackson co-host and friend, Rick Debruhl, gives an update on Steve's situation right on Steve's channel. Wishing you the best, Steve, get well soon!

    It was a real gas to meet Steve Magnante and to see his table full of scale drag cars at the CSRA model show. His altered wheelbase models perfectly capture that era in racing and his knowledge about everything automotive is incredible! Thanks for another great video Doug, and of course, Steve, you are now a real TH-cam star! Thanks for sharing your collection!

    Great video ! Steve's thought process of adding weight and making a flat spot on the tires to make a car hang in a wheelie is way cool ! 🍻

    I live in CT and had no idea about this model car show. Thank you Doug (and Steve) for bringing it to my attention! I met Steve at the Milltown Rat Rod Show in MA a couple of years back where he had brought his altered wheel base Ford Fairmont. Super down-to-earth guy and a very cool car...

    For anyone that maybe doesn't follow Steve directly: he was recently diagnosed with a brain infection of some kind and is currently hospitalized. There's not much info available and him and his family ask for privacy. You can learn more on his channel. Just thought I'd put this here for anyone who loves his modeling like i do. Wishing him a speedy recovery

    Love the Brutus GTO. I grew up in San Jose in the ‘60’s, so the car and Larry Hopkins Pontiac are old memories. I’m in process of building that car in 1/18. You mention the Pontiac Hemi, a friend of mine is currently designing/ building a set of the Mickey Thompson style hemi heads.

    If you wanna put holes in your back windows get a sewing needle and griplock pliers and heat up the metal and it puts holes in the plastic windows perfect it won't crack and causes no hole splinters and that part that melts from the heat wait till it cools off and it comes off with your fingernails.
