Most of us are familiar with the (excellent) Neo Noir Crime film The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) , but how many have you have read the 1970 novel it's based upon?
I purchased a copy (c.2010 edition) from eBay ; should be here within a week.
I would love to build a 1/25 scale replica of Jackie Brown's 1971 Road Runner ( "383 Hemi" , indeed ) . The most difficult part would be creating the standard bench seat interior of the 1:1 ; everything else would be a cinch ( V1X top , standard bonnet , etc. ).
