  1. Great job! My first car was a Matador.
  2. Another great save Michelle. Great work!
  3. Great job on all three. They look outstanding!
  4. Great job. Really spectacular work!
  5. And yet, a lot of young people buy furniture from IKEA and they can put that together. And heaven forbid, they have to follow directions and use hand tools as well. How is this even possible with their video game dulled minds???? As far as the link between the cassette tape and the pencil, why would they have to know the link between the two? Cassette tapes have largely been obsolete for the past 30 years.
  6. Looks great! The interior detail is outstanding.
  7. Great work on both of them. They are outstanding.
  8. Both look great! I think this generation of the Cutlass is among the sexiest cars GM has ever produced.
  9. I see a number of problems with this idea. The first is that NASCAR would be creating another racing series. Almost every MENCS race already has a Truck, Xfinity or an ARCA support race. How would this series fit in with an already full race weekend? These cars will attract an already shrinking fan base. The people who drove these cars new are in their 60's, 70's and older. People like me who admired them are in their 40's through 60's. NASCAR already has one of the oldest demographics in sports. This does not help them attract a younger audience. Lastly, these cars will have to run a spec engine and chassis to keep the racing affordable. The bodies will have to be fiberglass. However, the puritans of the sport will have a field day. NASCAR has run a 100 inch wheelbase since the early 1980's. The 69 through 74 cars ran on a 115 inch wheelbase. On top of the fact that the puritans will complain that Chrysler will not have Hemi's, Ford will not have the 427, etc. A nice topic to talk about on an internet forum, but very little practicality.
  10. I like all of them, but the Chaparrals are drop dead gorgeous!
  11. Great save Michelle. Really nice work!
  12. Very well done. Great job with the paint and detail.
  13. Great job building the kit. I could never figure out what went wrong with this car that it did not get much better gas mileage. There are a number of cars much bigger than this one that also got a lot better gas mileage.
  14. Great job! This is the first time I took a close look at the car. It has some interesting lines.
  15. Very cool! I remember these cards when they were out, but never bought a set.
  16. Great job! The mother of one of my friends growing up had the sedan version of this car and it was enormous. I remember riding in the back seat and there had to be about 1 1/2 to 2 feet of space between my knees and the front seat.
  17. Great job! The body lines flow beautifully.
  18. Great work. An interesting design as it took me a couple of looks to catch the end for end flip.
  19. Looks very nice. Great color choice.
  20. Looks great! Paint is outstanding.
  21. My in-laws were having this problem and they bought a Subaru Outback with AWD. They like it. You might think of something in the smaller SUV or CUV market.
  22. Looks great as usual. You are one brave guy to paint and decal a body before the chassis work is done. I did that a time or two and the results were not good.
  23. Great job with the accident damage. Looks very realistic.
