  1. Okay, well I see a stong resemblance.
  2. Looking from the back, yes, just about.
  3. Looks good! Beige/black or maroon/black is a hard choice, but I'm sure it'll look good any way it's done!
  4. The Karmann-Ghia 1600L looks just like a Corvair. Seeing this topic back kinda makes me want to finish the Camvair/Corvairo I was working on, but I like kit building lately.
  5. "When the sun goes down, When the sun goes down you head inside Because the lights don't work, Nothing works but you don't mind ____ _____ ___ _____ ____ The missionaries tell us we will be left behind Been left behind a thousand times, a thousand times If you want to be righteous, if you want to be righteous Get in line..."
  6. The Revell 1968 Beetle. Sanded the mold lines down on the front wings. Planning on a Cal-Looker for this.
  7. Done before, do it again. "Times are hard, and you're afraid to pay the fee So you find yourself somebody who will do the job for free When you needed a lover cuz your man was outta town..."
  8. I'd still take it. Rust doesn't bother me, at least with that. Looks pretty sound.
  9. I've seen this one before! Love it!
  10. Just found out Hobby Gear makes a set of landscaping gubs, and therein is contained a leaf blower. Not a Husqvarna, but with paint,it could look like it. Maybe buy one set and cast a few.
  11. No! Take it out, put a turbo'd engine in the rear, make your own turbo16! Free car is always good.
  12. The song that cemented Rubber Soul as my favorite Beatles album.
  13. "And get rid of that spare piping while you're in the garage!"
  14. "She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh I said I don't and crawled up to sleep in the bath..."
  15. They did have a stock version. AMT and MPC made several versions. I also have one, the AMT with the weird bucktooth looking front, that I intend to do the same with. Resin leafblowers?
  16. Really sucks that RadioShack has turned into a phone store. Two years ago, on a class trip, we stopped at the Maine Mall in Portland. The teachers gave every kid either $10 or $15 (can't remember which) for lunch. I took that money to RadioShack instead. I was perusing the stuff that was there, and the associate comes up and asks me what I want. "Alright," I said, "what I'm looking for today is a roll of assorted resistors, a sheet of project board or perfboard, and two DIN plugs." He gave me the most vacant, confused look I've ever seen. He had to go and get someone else because he didn't understand one thing that I wanted. With three simple item requests, I had stumped a 30-something year old electronics store worker.
  17. The convertible Aston driven by Charlie Croker in The Italian Job turns into a Lancia Flaminia when they're tipping it into the river.
  18. Or racking the shotgun for no reason, or the biggest no-no of all movies: flipping a revolver shut.
  19. All I know is that I saw it six times. Whether they were repeated or not, I dunno, but you seem to know.
  20. Somebody had some spare tubing, got drunk...
  21. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.
  22. "Get your... Get your wheels in line, and step off the pedal or you'll be in the cabin!"
  23. And the Charger in Bullitt loses 6 hubcaps...
