No, I think that's where 348 was tragically killed.

Sometimes there's nothing you can do but just lean into the stupid.

Who needs plastic? I do. I'm lazy. As a teenager, I was bitten by a radioactive sloth.

Yes, and getting all the tool marks off the C-pillars, and then trying to straighten out the B-pillars.

Never again will I dip the warped roof of a model into BOILING water to try to straighten it out. Especially not a rare unbuilt kit body.

Yah, that's why I bought a backup little compressor for $10 at a yard sale a couple years ago. Last weekend it came in handy--I used it to fill a flat tire on my lawnmower (and didn't have to haul the good one upstairs out of the Snakepit).

Was his name Tesla? If not, maybe he was a government economist.

And I'll bet that more than 7% of Americans think the electricity for electric cars will come from...wait for it..."the wall."

Wait, what?

Not my style at all, but there's no denying that you are a master at both painting and detailing! Model on!

It's also slightly undersized--maybe 1/26 or 1/27--and the front pan has always seemed shallow to me. I think there's something not quite right about the upper side window opening line, too. But your mention that the interior tub is from '66 is VERY interesting to me, as I have a nice AMT '66 Fastback body in need of an interior. HMMMMMMMMM......

Clean build--one of your best. Model on!

Good for you! I need to trim off some tonnage myself. Maybe I'll start walking to the post office every day.

Bill, to see the races we've been talking about lately, you want Street Outlaws America's List. Street Outlaws Fastest in America was the series that ran just before this one, a 64-car double elimination event. That was good too. I think everybody in America's List was in the FIA, except Precious of MSO.

I think he'd either be dead in 48 hours, or running everything in 60 days.

Thanks, Cobraman. Much appreciated!

It could keep up until the B-17s dropped their bombs, and then thus lightened, they were much faster than the B-40s, which couldn't keep up.

Very cool! I don't have one of those, but I do have a couple '66s and a couple AMT '65s. Congratulations and have fun with it!

Thanks for your kind words about my....Oh, wait. Never mind.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh I am SO totally stealing that first good chance I get!

Here's how they look on the Coupe, anyway:

'36 for the Spanish Civil War, the "opening act." '37 for Japan in China. And when did Italy try invade Ethiopia, '35? But I can see the logic of tying it to 1 Sep '39, the invasion of Poland, which resulted in most of Europe being drawn in on one side or the other. Fun WWII fact: At the beginning of the war, most combatants still had fabric-covered biplanes in active operational service. Just six years later, two combatants had operational jets, with a third on verge of having them operational. That is a quantum leap of technology in that amount of time.

Different and therefore interesting! I can see this on the cover of Car Model magazine anytime from 1963 to about 1965. Model on!

Totally believe it. I'd also believe that 16% of today's college graduates are functionally illiterate, if you told me that--and then I might wonder if that number were low.
