What color is that? It'd be a wicked gasser color!

From Wikipedia: "Shooting-brake is a car body style that has evolved through several distinct meanings over its history. Shooting-brake originated as an early 19th century British term[1] for a vehicle used to carry shooting parties[2] with their equipment and game. The term brake[3] was initially a chassis used to break in horses — and was subsequently used to describe a motorized vehicle. The term was later applied to custom-built wagons by high-end coachbuilders and subsequently became synonymous withstation wagon or estate.[4][5][6][7][8] In contemporary usage, the term shooting-brake has broadened to include a range of vehicles from five-door station wagons — to three-door models combining features of a wagon and a coupé."

I think they're called "Painter's Choice" or "Painter's Touch" or something. I use them over Sharpies because I handle my models a lot and they're actual paint and not ink. They also take clearcoat well after drying. I'd call the color more of a polished aluminum rather than chrome.

Amazing you could pick that out of the original picture!

Looks about stock now!

Yep, WalMart craft department. I think they're only $2-$3. Move fast with them, though. Slow down for even a second and the paint will pool.

First, I thought it was a Mazda, then Bill's "homeland" remark made me go Australian. So I said Holden Premier, as well... strange, it still says Premier on the side.

Man, rent a ramp truck, pull up to that Ranchero on a quiet night...

That Chrysler is a 1936-or-similar Airflow. I always loved the grille on em. The thing below it is actually a Bentley, a Continental, somewhere around 2002. I didn't see anything on the road today. However, two days ago when I was on my lunch break coming back from Rite Aid, I saw a blue Audi 80 sedan!

Well, that's great! Thanks!

Before the switch, I was able to pull up a picture on Google Images, open it in another tab, copy the link, then put it in brackets with "img=" to get the picture to show up without using any PB data or putting it on here. However, I haven't been able to do it. Any help?

The other thing, and you probably already know this: the wheels on stanced cars aren't actually conical. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5251/5546088896_a809323dc2_o.jpg

A nice TEAC Equalizer for $10, same shop I bought the $7 Airfix Bugatti at. At WalMart, I got some pointed airgun pellets and a Crosman American Classic pistol. Man, powerful as heck. Goes straight through 1/4 inch plywood at four pumps with flatnose pellets.

Ordered my '75 Gremlin for the build-off. Happened to go into an antique shop today on a whim. There were some models there, AMT Porsche 9-something racecar, '55 Cameo, normal stuff. Those were all $10. However, I walked past a row of puzzles, and at the bottom I saw an Airfix logo! I walked out with an Airfix Bugatti EB-110, unopened inside but a little water-damaged, for $7. Not bad!

I think I'll be going for a '75, ultimate law-pusher weekend dragstrip hero. Should be fun!

Sounds good! Should have my kit in the next week.

When's it gonna start? I'd be in on it if it started in say, the next month.

"For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."

Should be cool! Boattail Daytona Coupe!

I'm going to have to place an order this Thursday...

I could see the red and yellow decals on a blue 'n' white two-tone paintjob with sidepipes.

Just like the title says - how much should I expect to pay for the AMT/Ertl Ford Louisville Snow Plow kit? I'm thinking of getting one for a project from a music video - bed loaded with speakers. However, I could only find one on eBay and it was $100...

If you have time, take a nap. I find a little sleep clears my head and I can see better ways to engineer things.
