  1. I failed to mention this in the OP, but what I was specifically envisioning was the Johan Haulin' Hearse and its variations since the Johan company is effectively deceased (are they still?)... This is a kit I won't be able to afford for a long time, and even when I can afford it, I probably won't quantify the value of buying a $120+ original issue model kit that could essentially be made for 1/3 the price in resin.
  2. Ech, I have a lot of projects going on! So I have the front clip on. Once again, pictures later when I get home. Here's another question: what color should the chassis be? Simple black, green (lighter than the body, but not neon), or red?
  3. Oh, sweet! I'll have to get one. How much did it set you back?
  4. I've been thinking about this for a while. If a model is out there, but the mold has been destroyed, does that mean that reproduction of said model by resin casting is legal? I'm not exactly sure, but I think it may be legal, just because the company essentially abandons the kit by destroying a mold. Is there anyone (Dave, Tim?) with definitive evidence of the legality of this practice?
  5. It's been following me all day!!
  6. Don't get political, now, kids.
  7. Apple cores and such easily-degradable food items are all that I throw out of a car. All junk gets put in a shopping bag inside. Highly inconsiderate to litter from a car, but some people don't think twice about it.
  8. Did you make the tires, too?
  9. Crazy! Love the engine.
  10. Silently thrown away, most likely, or given away, or auctioned for charity as an "environmental art piece."
  11. I was offered a job in Oslo, but there's Norway I can get there.
  12. What's really ugly about the Aztek? I can't see anything wrong with it, because I like it.
  13. The only thing I really miss from cable (last had DirecTV about six years ago) is the Speed Channel.
  14. I have one missing one of the little trumpet-end lookin' things from the carb. Velocity stacks?
  15. It's a Cosworth engine with side-draft Webers.
  16. Yeah, she was the one to turn her blinker on going around a corner! RIP Mrs. Clarkson.
  17. The one already wrecked belonged to some sultan or such who died in it...
  18. And their multi-million dollar historic race cars.
  19. Chip Foose cars have too big wheels. That's my only complaint. As for the Fords, I like them both. Built with care, built to ride.
  20. "2150 naturally-aspirated horsepower" keh
  21. Not a big fan of Marvel, but I love the car. "Don't touch Lola."
  22. That's essentially what I feel. Still, drops in the ocean.
