    And he managed to hit the Top 40 himself (#32, but still) in the summer of '81 after Meat fried his vocal cords and couldn't perform this song:

    Spotted this while researching Longview, WA: From the 1960 R. A. Long High School yearbook. Somebody put a lot of tasteful effort into this little Chevy; wonder if it got any magazine coverage? It'll definitely be an inspiration when I get to my AMT '51 fastback.

    One helluva number

    That '61 Plymouth - it works so well for the rest of that sleek body, but oh, that grille... if I had money to throw at one, I'd redo the front clip like a Ghia 6.4L but with quad headlights instead of the Cibie units, and french the taillights into the panel below the decklid.

    Want, want, want, want. For me, the '59 DeSoto was the greatest of the Forward Look, however many doors or pillars:

    Very interesting - looking forward to see more of this!

    Des Plaines Hobbies has the whole rack of Revell paints now; I picked up a can and a bottle of Anthracite (looks like charcoal gray) to have an alternative to flat black for chassis, tires, belts and such - hope it works; I've looked for years for a replacement for Pactra's Scale Black.

    Far out suggestion, man!

    My turn.

    VW Type 3 Notchback?

    First one's The Blues Brothers; don't know the second but it sounds like a Coen Bros. flick?

    Insult Comic Dog

    Make it a Stepside?

    I'm still helping Tom Piagari's widow disperse his model collection; last night I took 28 of his uncompleted projects to the LMMCC meeting and sold most of them for her (big thanks to the club members who bought them!). She very kindly let me keep this one: Beautiful paint job all done; just needs body/interior detail painting, BMF/Molotow treatment, and final assembly. Thank you Leslie P.

    There was also a Mercury Meteor in '61; it was a de-trimmed full size base model that came in the 600 and 800 series (like Biscayne and Bel Air for Chevy). One-year-only model and it was the first big Mercury to have a 6-cylinder available.

    Look for the pumps from the original Buddy L service station - sometimes they show up on eBay: If you want an older style, check out these salt and pepper shakers: They need nozzles and hoses, but I checked them against the measurements of a real Tokheim pump and they're within a hair of 1/25th scale.

    Coming in late as usual, but beautiful job, Jean-Philippe!

    Not a bad idea; from the Hero kit Round2 could use the chassis, engine, firewall, windshield, wheel backs and hood - the body and grille had a lot of Western doodads (or geegaws ) engraved into it, and the interior's a two-door setup (although the dash and steering wheel might be re-usable). So new body/bumpers, interior bucket/seats, rear glass, and however many Green Hornet devices they'd care to add.

    One heckuva job you've done saving this poor Falcon! Looking forward to more!

    They used a lot of 1/25 scale models as well - check out the IMCDb page: http://imcdb.org/movie_57790-Thunderbirds.html

    Well... Nobody's perfect.

    Finally got an NOS '62 Olds F-85 215 V8 and Roto Hydramatic trans; engine for the Jeep Dispatcher conversion and transmission for the '62 Catalina. I could also remove that accessory drive belt/PS pump and turn it into an A/C compressor for the '70 Wildcat.

    Anyone have a preview of the decals? I have an original kit, and I'd like to see if anything's been added (gauge and engine stuff) to the new sheet.
