I spotted this '56 Chevy at a local body shop.

Not me either.

The hint helped a lot. Putting "fastest truck" into Google gave a flood of modern pickups, but when I put in "test truck" "fastest"" and "unusual", this was the first thing that came up

Outstanding work! I remember following this build on the dear, departed Scalemotorcars

Got it! PM sent

The stuff does look nice, and even better, he takes Paypal. I ordered a couple of sets of vintage wires from him, so we'll see what happens

Oh, the Stutz and the Thomas for sure!

A long shot, to be sure, but the Tempest is definitely one I'll like to see with a full chassis.

There were lots of MGs there, but when was the last time you say a YT touring model?

I know? There was just so much stuff there. It says something that after a while you're going, "Ho hum, another Lamborghini..."

I thought this Lancia Fulvia was pretty sweet too. My two favourites from the tuner show.

That was a great show. For me, the star was this Pegaso. You just don't see these, anywhere.

I went to the European Car Show at Stanley Park this afternoon, and I spotted this on the way there. Spotted in the parking lot. You don't see many 49-50 Lincolns, let alone customized ones. I'll post pics of the show itself once I've gone through the pics and trimmed them to a more manageable since.

Yes, they do, and a stock '32 would be a nice place to do them in. Revell seems to be selling all the Deuces they can make, but maybe the good folks at ICM are listening?

I'm with you there. It's great that Revell is willing to invest in new tooling, and I don't need to relive my childhood that badly.

Spotted while getting lunch.

Monogram's classic car kits had multi piece frames, as did AMT's '70s vintage '23 T. This is what they have to do if you want channel sectioned frame rails. It does look like an impressive kit.

If you're taking suggestions: Bosley GT Lancia Statos Zero GM Firebird III

The T-bird looks nice. If ever there was a golden age of AMT kits, that would be it. A '55 bumper would be a nice option, and some putty would take care of the vent.

I put "Chevette" and "pimpmobile" into Google, and this is what popped up

I love what you're doing here, and it's certain something that would have been done in the real world, like this Model A town car.

To say that the internet, and social media in particular, is as accurate as a two dollar watch would be a gross insult to the low priced timepiece industry.

I'm mostly interest in the prewar stuff. I had no interest in modeling generic malaisewagens when I could get the kits for $2, and I have even less interest interest when they at close to $50.

If civilization ends, I suspect a lot of the people with Mad Max fantasies playing in their head will get a rude shock, but you don't need Armageddon to lose info from the Internet. It should be pretty obvious to anyone who's spent any time online that anything is there only as long as somebody wants to keep it there, so if you do find something useful, you'd better save it to your own machine while you can. That anyone can post to the internet is simultaneously the best and the worst thing about it, as people either through ignorance or outright malice seem determined to bury us in baloney. We are in an age where idiots are arguing over the shape of the Earth. The internet is handy, but we still need someone to hoard info in some kind of relatively permanent form.
