I forget if you mentioned it elsewhere - I see you have at least one photo with the DiAntoni / Weitz watermark - have you corresponded directly with the guys (I think it is Barry Weitz) at the official Movin' On Facebook page?

I'd bookmarked this old thread for its info on such a project - have you seen the growing accumulation of helpful build details in this current thread?

Forgot about that. What I do (since the usual "visit store" option is not like the old way) is click on the seller's feedback score, which takes me to the page where I can click on the "View items for sale" link. Don't know what evilbay's problems is these days ....

Threw me at first, too. I regularly bookmark various listings I like of old/rare just to see what the high bid ended up, and for a short time I thought it was an unusual number of guys who had yanked their auctions before the end. Deleted several of my bookmarks in frustration, but once I saw "the listing" word as a clickable link, I was able to re-load the deleted pages out of my links history pile. Evil bay ...... still occasionally a source for cheap parts & kits if a person is patient enough to keep a longterm eye on it.

(not Tamiya Clear)

That's all good info there, one of these days I'll have to add this one to my build list. Except I might cheat in one facet of it by lengthening the frame just a touch to suit my own preferences.

Myself as well, although with just some flat-end round rod (might have been either brass or just plastic), as described in my '57 T-bird under glass thread, 3rd & 4th photos in the sequence there. Tedious, ripped up several strips of Bare Metal Foil 'til I got the hang of it.

Bats look alike to me - for the one with the two grill openings in the front, I see quad headlights and a GTO badge that isn't there. On paint, my vote goes to a fairly deep metallic blue with double white stripes down the middle. Side pipes, too, if you want to get even more sacrilegious.

Such was said about that no-name housepainter guy whose dropcloths ended up on gallery walls instead of in the dumpster. What was his name? Jackson Pollock?

But is it art?

Seems like it was only last year that you were asking this....... where does time go? Yep, I'll be there as usual, hope to have more than one project finished by that time.

That show sent me straight into building nothing but trucks for quite a while. If I have one gripe these days, it's that the rig here has the newer Budd wheels instead of what was on it during the TV episodes.

VAST improvement on the headlights arrangement.

Begs to be sectioned, though .....

I tried out the "No" button there just to be doubly sure ....

????? The forums you are a member of have no moderators to report this activity to? Or are you speaking of some other internet groups/communities you belong to? Me, I only look at 3 other internet forums I belong to besides this one, and those maybe only once or twice a month, and I have no idea how most all the other social media things work, so I'm having a tough time comprehending what this problem might be. Call me a social media Luddite, I guess.I know Facebook has account impersonations going on, but I get the impression they are sheer spammers, not the kind of troublemakers you speak of ......

Missed last year due to my elderly mother cracking her sternum, but if she can behave herself between tonight and mid-morning tomorrow, I should be there long enough to take in some contest entry viewing and a round or two through the vendor area. Can't stay longer than that, though.

Nice. Will be viewing it in person at the Desert Scale, if all goes to plan ...

I use sprue, but via the additional step of chucking it into my motor tool to 'lathe-turn' it into a perfect circle - see my post here, where you can scroll down for the two additional pics I have there of other stuff which can be made with that method. The filter for my Y-block build was done that way, it's shown temporarily out on the wire peg in this photo.

I'm an advocate of demented mix 'n match.

Didn't even know there was such a kit: http://www.eaglemoss.com/en-uk/model-making/build-the-back-to-the-future-delorean-1/

Glad to see that IndyVette back again, fabulous mix 'n match design.

That's one of those Cortinas with fiberglass add-on stuff from a company called Roll's Roice. It was so bad of a trademark infringement that even Enzo Ferrari hit the Roice company with a cease-and-desist lawsuit threat. Looks like the owner of this one forgot to put the stainless steel topper on the grille shell.
