Great input, there! What looks terrible and, in your opinion, what would be better?

Keeping each other in business!

Yep! What they said! 550 count sports card boxes and your gentle packing tissue of choice!

Must be true; I read it on the Interwebs.

As in: "At my local Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon?" No As in: "At the next model car swap meet?" Betcha!

As a parts source or as cars? Me; I don't hate what I call "thingie" show cars but they're not on my "gotta have it" list, either. Sometimes. like Greg said, they have very useful parts.

So it fits in the picture?

I was going to say that it wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate a tall cowl-induction scoop and this hood (looks to be stock height) would make it even easier.

I've looked this auction over and over. Looks to me like a perfect storm. Buyer '1' (the second highest bidder) put in an absurdly high bid early on to assure he would win (I'm sure he didn't anticipate anyone bidding against him to go above, say $100-$150). Bidder '2' (the winner?) came in and sniped at the last minute with an even MORE absurdly high bid. The language from his computer desk would have been paint-peeling when he realized that he had 'won'. He's now on the hook for $2600 and change. I've been waiting to see this for years. That model will be back up at auction soon, because of non-paying bidders

I noticed that, too. The sim looks NOTHING like the actual video but, hey, let's not let facts interfere with whatever is the 'agenda of the day', right?

But there was a resin conversion by AAM.

Um ... Parts! Anything that seems like it be useful in the future.

And to think, I was about to have supper!

I'm not so sure about the Malibus coming (only?) with cloth seats. My first car was a Malibu with a 250 six-cylinder and a powerglide; the interior was all vinyl. I remember doing the Armor All treatment to the interior and then trying to NOT slide across the bench when going around corners.

And that is, I believe, the whole point; it's so cool!

Aww! C'mon, Snake; you gotta share!

Bill, I'll have some of whatever you're having!

I wonder if he knows where his towel is.

As usual, it was overcast here. Always seems to be when there's an astronomical event to be seen.
