Now, this is scary...
Jim N replied to Matt Bacon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The AI that we see and use is primitive compared to what companies, governments and militaries are developing. I saw a recent new story that stated that the AI being developed by the aforementioned is starting to take off exponentially. Some are suggesting in very serious tones that 1/3 of all jobs may be eliminated by AI. This is a potential unemployment situation that would rival or exceed the Great Depression. Even if the predictions are fractionally off, we are not prepared for the societal impact of this many people not being employed. AI will likely not have the science fiction impact many are discussing, but it will affect every corner of our lives eventually. -

Thank you Bill. I would liked to have owned a 2+2, but my wife and I were just starting out, and it wasn't in the cards. I really liked both the street car and the race car, and am glad Salvino's did the model. -

Thank you Bruce. I agree the Grand Prix was a neat looking race car. I also liked the street car too. -

This is the Salvino JR Grand Prix 2+2. It is the generic kit offered by Mike's Decals with his Kodiak decal sheet. It's been a while since I built one of the Monogram based NASCAR kits, and there was a bit of a learning curve to get back in the swing of building one of these. It is built box stock. I did file down the firewall to make sure there was enough clearance between the dash and the front glass as this has been a problem plaguing these kits, since they were designed and molded by Monogram. The paint is Dupli-Color gloss white and Krylon green for the interior. The pictures I found of this car seemed to show either green, gray or black for the interior color, so I chose green. I know the bumper guards on the front of these cars is supposed to be black, but I cannot bring myself to try to paint this yet. The thought of bleed through or a less than straight line gives me the chills. The decal work was not my best. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the finished model. Thanks for looking.

'65 Impala Stocker

Your original looked real good. The changes with the tires and the overall stance have knocked it out of the park. Great work! -
Looks spectacular! Great color combination.

Looks real nice. Great work.

Looks great! I remember watching that show as a kid. I also remember getting into a fist fight with a friend over how many races Speed lost. Ah, the foolishness of youth.

Gorgeous! Extremely well done.
