If you really want Chevy Engine Orange, as for an early '60s small-block, Testor Orange is a decent match. If you want Chevy Engine RED, as on all rat motors and some hi-perf small blocks (such as LT-1) that's a different color--a brilliant red-orange. The old Model Master stuff was perfect but no longer available. But if you're airbrushing, you can mix it up fairly easily out of Testor #3 red and their orange.

Checking my list, I see I have a 2012 Aston-Martin Vanquish in maroon. Probably made by Welly. Also have a DB9 (2010?). The Motormax "James Bond" '64 Mustang seems to be priced a few dollars higher than the last issue of it I saw. 007 licensing, or just inflation?

Well played, A-G. Those are definitely on-topic!

Please, please no more on dogs. This was supposed to be a happy, funny thread.

I suspect that's pretty common around here.

Just got an ad from DMW advertising a new (to me, anyway) Motormax 1/24 Aston-Martin DB5. Not a horrible price by today's standards. Anyone ever seen one of these? https://www.diecastmodelswholesale.com/products.php?product=Aston-Martin-DB5-RHD-(Right-Hand-Drive)-Silver-Metallic-James-Bond-007-"Goldfinger"-(1964)-Movie-"James-Bond-Collection"-Series-1{47}24-Diecast-Model-Car-by-Motormax&showHidden=true

That was just HELLA cool!

Help me! Help me!

Gotta admit, that was pretty cool!

Do you need a '72 Road Runner kit?

OMG that's one of my dream cars! I drove a '65 Special in high school and have been looking for a '64-'65 Skylark or Special for years now. Fabulous score!

Nice, but guess what? I gotta FEVER. And the only prescription is...MORE COWBELL!!!

Blondie on Letterman, 2004. My favorite part of this performance is the drummer. He's a machine! Headphones on, eyes closed tight, he's doin' his thing and pays no attention whatsoever to anyone else. For all we know, he could be drumming to some completely different song. And he's perfect! Fantastic!

The great Meat Loaf with the even greater Patti Russo:

I would LOVE to hear some modern country artist or band cover this. I think it would be right up Blake Shelton's alley. (If you've never heard it, give a listen--it's quite a story.)

Bill, that was a message we all needed to hear. Thanks for posting it.

I'd say that's in the right ballpark.

The Chevrolet Orange-Red engine enamel isn't even close to Hugger orange. Plain old Testor Orange, while not exact, is closer, especially if you're a believer in "scale effect."
