    I've posted them on various threads before, but...

    From IMCDb, as it appeared on the show: And around the same time, it was Peter Fonda's ride in Tammy and the Doctor: The patina when it played Wally's car was probably washable.

    Hand to God, about 35 years ago here in Illinois I saw a Renault with Massachusetts plates - the factory decal graphic on the side was altered to read "Le Ca".

    GOTCHA!!! AMT Craftsman '64 Corvair Monza. FOUR times it's been on eBay with no takers and the price finally came down to the point where I had to bid - and I was still the only bidder. Considering the condition, not a bargain but not too bad. Now I have a good excuse to list my IMC STP Lotus Indy car to make up for it. (I expect Round2 will announce the discovery of the molds for the Corvair in the next 15 minutes or so, shortly before Moebius announces an all-new kit. )

    Sorry - I was a little unclear on the concept: So I'll say the original Aussie rocker:

    Two-way tie: 2 '77 Cadillac Coupe deVilles (one coupe, one convertible conversion). ETA: '92 Ford F-150 pickup promo. The '77 Caddies are still the latest year kits I've built for myself. I did build an '80s Tamiya Mercedes 500 SEC Lorinser once for a friend.

    Reminds me of a certain '62 Dodge four-door hardtop...

    Agreed - I'd just as soon screw it up myself.

    First time I've seen a tree being partially chromed like that.

    Good going! I got distracted with a big airplane photo project last night and missed one of the best '61 Tempest sedans I've seen in a while - sold for 32 lousy bucks. Got one other grail I'm looking at right now - price is somewhat high (for me) but it's been reduced after being posted up three times with no bids. Ending on Sunday...

    Oh you lucky dog! You may need a foot of styrene rod to fill in those mirror, antenna, and spotlight mounting holes, and there will be hours of amusement removing louvers and fins, but at least the builder didn't slather paint all over them. You'll have some really choice cars when you're done! How about some build threads on the restorations?

    Cool - did anyone else get photos of the stock class? Wish I could have gone.

    I'm still trying to figure out how this happened: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-1-25-1968-FORD-MUSTANG-SHELBY-GT-500-428-ENGINE-AND-RELATED-PARTS-/301913421612?hash=item464b71372c%3Ag%3Ar1AAAOSwzvlW-zUU&nma=true&si=MY1zxLWW6WoqAJ6JTDGeoTLHVi0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    That sent me down to dig through my stack of old Rod & Custom magazines:

    Wait. You opened the box and showed it to your parents; obviously you wouldn't have had time to do all that damage to the kit, but they refused to believe you and beat you for it? Seriously, I'm sorry to hear that.

    I made a bunch of black '63 CA plates from licenseplates.tv before they cut it off; I saved the base image and put all the letters and numbers on a template so I can copy and paste them onto the base.

    The pearl white looks excellent - what brand is it?

    In particular, oven cleaner is a big no-no with acetate.

    Curt, could you post a photo of the SOHC's exhaust manifolds or headers? The one I got recently didn't have any so I need to know what they look like. Thanks!

    Good haul! How close a match is the Miss Deal body's roof to the AMT '53 Starliner body, if you wanted to make it a post coupe? Will the glass fit?

    One of my brother's classmates in junior high died in a freak accident with his go-kart - he was out alone in a field when his scarf got caught in the chain and strangled him. Even worse, he was hidden by brush and it took a couple days to find him.

    Is "Polycast" the correct term for those wheels? I thought those were the wheels introduced in '73 with the front of the wheel made of cast plastic molded on top of a steel backing. Thirty years ago I had a '72 Chevelle SS that had the five-spoke wheels and I thought they were just called "SS mags" or "SS rims". They didn't have any plastic in them that I could tell.

    Thanks to Vince (vintagedragcrazy), got the front suspension from the Little Red Wagon kit - which gives me a beefy straight axle with steerable wheels for my '58 Ford. Even better, it looks like the springs line right up with the frame - this might be a good combo to keep in mind if you're building a gasser/street freak '57 (I'm using the AMT '57 Fairlane chassis).

    '58 with that rear bumper, if it hasn't been swapped...
