I’m with you and the R&T writer! steve 😊

X2!

I don't drive daily but when I do it's this little baby. I had a big old Silverado pickup but I got to where I hated driving it because it's gotten too big for me. I can't tell if I'm in the lane properly when on the interstate and it's hard to see if I have clearance when getting on or off the interstate. Plus, when I go to get gardening stuff It's hard to get that stuff in the bed because the tailgate is so far up in the air. And it's even hard to get in the vehicle even with side steps that almost killed me putting them on myself. I was so happy to trade that monster in on this little sports car with a bed. I recently put some of that ceramic polish on it after clay barring the hood. It's like a mirror now.

I read this years ago due to your recommendation on the old Hobby Heaven (now Spotlight) board, and I have to say it was eye opening, enlightening, and entertaining, all at the same time. Definitely second the recommendation.

Hi Corey, I have this left from a project I just completed. I decided not to use it. It's yours if you want it

Mock up engine bay

Now that is FUNNY! 🤣🤣🤣 On that note, I went searching for the definition and I personally agree with this assessment which technically rules out the majority of the preceding offerings, including the OP’s. NJMO😜 https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a28225/sports-car-definition/

Fantastic work Tim!

Huh???

Got my photoetch set in the mail and put the emblems on. Those tiny fender emblems with seperate engine size script really tested my patience lol..but got them on. Then laid on some duplicolor clear coat.

Interior!

Well, if this isn't the most screaming 3D or resin opportunity in the bidness, I don't know what is. AMC was not looking for extra work or investement at the time, so I'd wager most of whatever needs changing would happen at a convenient panel line. As for, "What in blue hell were they thinking...?" AMC was probably looking at other entries in the market (Bronco, Scout, rumored Blazer) thinking they needed an easy way to keep interest in the product going. Since that modern look was working for the others... why not for them? Strikes me much akin to Studebaker adding the notch style Thunderbird roof and Benzo grille to the Hawk/Starliner to make the GT.

Since I wasn't using the scheme from the Toyota 2000GT on the Supra, I thought I'd try to adapt it to a Scion FRS, however I only had a Subaru BRZ kit. No problem, I'll just rebadge it, (yes, I know the BRZ has some differences from the FRS and 86). Like the Supra, I drew all the graphics and printed a decal sheet.

Thanks Greg!

I'm so close to the end now I really don't want to post anymore wips, so the next photos you see will be in the showroom or whatever they call it here. I never can remember.

Although their numbers have been dropping in recent years, you can still find Dodge Challengers racing, and winning, in the NASCAR Pinty's Series here in Canada, where the Dodges still tend to make up about 1/3 of the field: Riverside-Riverside-300.pdf

Great start, always nice to re-create something you had. 👍

I considered using one for the chassis with a 3D body of a '61 190 sedan, but no engine or any worthy detail.

Mine is going to be Golden Olive with a Dark Saddle interior. I have a 73 Grand Am 4 door that is Florentine Red. Great color choice!
