That's too bad. Scott

That I would like to see too. Scott

I agree. Not a great looking car. But, I've seen a lot worst. Scott

As noted on another tread here Tom, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Scott

Sorry for your loss Tom. I've got an 18 year old cat that I'm figuring will go soon. It's always hard when they do. They're more like family than just pets. Scott

Looks creepy with out the hair! Very nice job so far. Scott

Again, not true. And it's Ralph by the way. Not ralf. He was invited to speak at the national CORSA club meet several years ago. And he showed up! He doesn't hate Corvairs. He dislikes them no more or less than any other car. He does think they are more unsafe than other cars. But, he doesn't hate them. Scott

Thanks for letting me know. That's okay with me. I didn't expect a flat six in that one. Scott

Looks great. Um... Donuts. Scott

What are we looking at here? Scott

Ford has always done a fairly good job of adapting Mustang to the times. The new one is not my favorite of recent times. But, I do like it. Scott

Oh the AMT '65 Bonneville? The Bonneville was okay. The problem came when they turned the kit into a 2+2. The real 2+2 was based on shorter wheelbase Catalina. Real Bonnevilles rode on a 3 inch longer wheelbase. Plus it seems to me the right and left sides of the model car didn't match up. This I believe was true with original Bonneville kit too. But, guys at time could not understand why Ertl choose to convert the Bonneville kit into a 2+2 without changing the wheelbase, or fixing the other flaws to the original kit. Scott

Great movie. Even funnier if you worked for car dealerships back in the day. Some of the stuff portrayed in that movie was not far from the truth on things that use to happen in car dealerships. Especially in the used car departments. It was exaggerated, but close to true stories I had heard, or in some cases even seen. There use to be some very interesting characters in the car business back in the day. Not so much today. Scott

What is a Bonilla? Scott

I didn't catch this one the first few times I looked at it. Now that I do, it's very funny! Scott

I've used black Sharpies with some success in the past. But, recently I got AMT's Hindenburg airship model. I decided to paint the stand with Testor's flat black paint. I then bought a package of 3 different metallic Sharpies, figuring on using the silver one to highlight the letters on the base. For some reason it did not work. The "ink" (?) came out of the Sharpie very thin and scratchy looking. I ended going back to Testor's silver paint and a very fine brush. And it turned out great. But, I originally thought the Sharpie would make this job a little easier. I wonder why the Sharpie didn't work in this case? I've also had troubles getting Sharpies to work on some chrome. Scott

Very nice. I'm glad you and your dad got to enjoy it together in the end. Scott

Great job. I still remember the first time I saw a real one back in the summer of 1972. Scott

Beautiful! Scott

326 in a '64 Grand Prix? 1964 Grand Prixs came with the 398 at minimum. Some ran with 421s. Scott

If it was a '73 Challenger it would not have come with a 383. I'm trusty in Casey's reading of the vin tag on this one. Scott

Any more info on the Monogram Ferrari GTO mentioned in David's post above? The first thing I noticed is the scale listed on the box. It says it's 1/25th scale. Not a normal scale for Monogram car kits. Is this maybe a Revell kit originally? I'd like to know more about this kit. The early 60's GTO was iconic Ferrari when I was a kid in the 1960's. I've always been interested in building one. Scott

Same here. This is the first I've heard of their models in this scale. Going to have to keep my eyes open for them. Scott

Wow! Very nice. In fact, prefect. Scott

Nope. Those Holden's all came with full steel roofs from the factory. Scott
