Just wanted to say Thank You Doug, for producing this video(I watched part 2 first inadvertently). Very glad you did the interview with Jim, not only being one of the early figures in model cars/companies, but a genuinely nice, good spirited person in the hobby, both then & now.
I can sit and listen to Jim's stories for hours, such an interesting guy, and true legend in our hobby.
Wow, THE LEGEND Jim Keeler! This is amazing to get the story about that speed record in '65. Thanks Doug!
Jim is an original! It's hard to find a nicer guy, too!
Grat interview, will look forward to part 2, cheers from Nova Scotia...
I have built a Renwal Stutz with that parts pack turbine engine. I have a salt flats racer with two of those engines on the go.
I always enjoy the stories behind the kits.
Keep the videos coming.
Another great video Doug! Can't wait for part II.
The Model Car Muse team thank you for bringing the history to life just wow
I always enjoyed reading his radicals as a kid.
Thanks for this.
Very good, good interview!
What a treasure Jim is! This reminds me; my '68 Coronet MPC funny car contest entry has been 80% complete since, oh, 1968 - time to finish it!
Great video👍👍
Really enjoyed seeing and talking to Jim at the Salt Lake Show, he is an outstanding builder!!
Very interesting video.
Thanks.....hope for some Dodge Fever coverage. That model changed my building forever.
Another great video, Gracias!!!
Amazing man!!
This was an AWESOME interview!!!!! Thanks for sharing
I met Jim years ago at the 2015 GSL-NNL and he shared that very story with us about how he set up an interview at Aurora including some of his experiences there as well at the Salt Flats during the Breedlove run. He was so gracious that he drove us to his house and then took us to the Bonneville Salt Flats for a visit. Truly memorable trip and a great guy to boot!
Really cool. 👍
I just got back into the Hobby. Your videos are pure gold! Keep on going! 👍🏻😄
Can you also do some 101 and a walkaround at your studio - it looks fascinating.
Kids these days will never understand the wonderment of times like that.
What cool History! Thanks so much for sharing Doug. Really cool.
