Here's another "car" one. Steve "Two in a row, Everybody knows, At the green light you rev it on the red line. Been waiting all week to get my wheels on the street, Get my hands on the wheel, slide down in the seat."

I was wondering if anyone would catch this one! Thought I'd throw in a couple with a "car" theme. Steve

Foreigner is correct. Steve

Pretty cool Chris! You're just missing a few head lights! Steve

Well Stray, I've already built a '60, '61, '64 & '65 Chrysler, and I have a '63, '66, '67 & '68 left to build, so I need this '62 to fill in the gap at some point. Steve

I thought about that Ron.....After I had already ordered some other parts from Modelhaus! At this point, I don't want to wait for 6 weeks for an interior tub so I'll just use what came with the kit. I thought that tub looked a little familiar after just building a '65. Must have come from the '65 promo. The kit had separate seats. Steve

Here's another one. Steve "Women behind bars. Women in fast cars. Women in distress. Women with no dress. Women in aeroplanes. Women who play games. Women in uniform. See that women with her clothes torn".

Isn't that the name of the song? Or is this an answer to something? Steve

Black crows, Remedy. Steve

Warpage on something like this resin hood is pretty easy to fix Jason. Just submerge it in some very hot tap water for a minute or so & then bend that corner back down slightly while you run cold water over it. Repeat until it looks right. Steve

Probably not a lot of interest in another one of these right now with Peter Kennedy's Beautiful blue factory stock example, Rob's "daily driver" on the work bench & Sean Svendson's pro-street example all making debuts in the past couple of months, but I've been meaning to build one of these for more than 20 years & now is as good a time as any. This started out as a basically brand new "USA Oldies" kit that I picked up a while back &, of course, I will be building it stock. I picked the color for this one based on a '62 New Yorker 4 door sedan I had seen in town many times this past summer. The color is "Sage Green" & the interior will be black & tan. Just in primer at the moment, but hopefully color will start going on tomorrow night. Steve

I'll play along. Steve "The machine of a dream. Such a clean machine. With the pistons a pumpin'. And the hubcaps all gleam".

Just thought this was a fun picture. Apparently it's a '70 New Yorker "hover craft". Steve

All beautiful Bill! Although the first one may be just a bit over the top! They certainly don't have the "style" today that they did back then! I may be old fashioned, but I have a really hard time getting excited about any thing on the road today. Steve

Where I come from, & I drive for a living, most of the Buicks you see on the road are old guys who really shouldn't be driving any more! I've always thought that they fall into a Mercury Marquis, Buick LeSabre "syndrome" category. Once you get to a certain age, you can't really handle driving anymore, so you need to wrap as much steel around your ass as possible! Unless you're a tree hugger, then the environment is more important than your own life, so you buy a Prius! Steve

Looks like a perfect place for Alclad to me. Steve

Rubber band tires hell! Look at how much room for suspension travel they left between the tires & fenders! I'll bet it rides like a brick on a cinder block!! Steve

I'll keep the Bugatti! Steve

Sorry Bill. I thought the OP was looking for something "similar". Or maybe I'm reading impaired. Thankfully, I don't think anyone has probably kitted anything that heinous! Steve

The first photo looks like it has a Bugatti grille on it. There is an older kit of a '31 Bugatti Royale. Probably as close as you're gonna get. I actually have one still. The second car looks like one of those ugly ass Hollywood Frankenstein's monsters!! Steve

Bill, you'll really notice how well this kit was engineered when you get to the part where you have to mate the body, chassis & firewall together. It's frustrating as hell!! everything fits so tight you need a shoehorn to get them together. When I was building mine, the firewall became detached while I was trying to get the parts together. When the chassis suddenly popped into place, the firewall had no where else to go except exactly where it was supposed to go! It fit tight without any glue! in my opinion, that's one sign of good engineering. I'm sure we've all had the situation where as you just get the chassis fitted into place, the firewall comes loose & ends up becoming a floor board or a radiator brace instead. Not with this one! So as far as assembly issues.....Yeah, it's tight! But, that's the way it should be. Steve

Welcome Bill! Steve

Ugh! Another "Cheese Head"! Welcome Jim!! Steve

You need to get one Dave! Quite possibly the best engineered kits in history! Steve

That's a steal Lucas! Steve
