Yup. Might not be good enough for Slusher but I love that song--a real guilty pleasure of mine.

Sounds like it should be more the Red-Headed Granddaddy of the family.

Me too, but maybe they're the same underneath, I dunno. I've always thought of the '64.5-'66 as 1st Gen and '67-'69 as 2nd Gen but maybe we're wrong.

Lindberg has a '70 Challenger? Do you mean their ex-Palmer '74 (or whatever it is)?

I believe Modelhaus has a repop of the original AMT annual '70 non-RS bumper and grille. And it should be usable--I have an original glue bomb I'm rebuilding; a while back I checked its bumper against the new AMT '70 and found that it should work with only minor fitting here and there.

There's a weapon That we must use In our defense Silence reveals When you look at them Look right through them That's when they'll disappear That's when we'll be feared It doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play

I took a kit steel axle to the LHS and bought several LONG pieces of K&S steel wire/rod in the closest two sizes. One or the other works with any wheel. This stuff is tough and requires either a hacksaw or (much faster) cutoff wheel in a Dremel to cut. The other thing you can do is raid the axles out of another kit in your stash, which I've also done many, many times.

That's off their first album, I think--the only album of theirs I have. And the only song I can think of from it right now is Gypsy Woman's Passion.

Billy Joel, Still Rock N Roll to Me.

I know, what she wants Just a lick on your ice cream cone...

Not bad at all for a first effort. Hope you had fun and want to do some more.

RHCP I Could Have Lied

Saw a "toy & train show" on my way to buy the Sunday paper, stopped in. Few if any models this time but a guy with lots of Hot Wheels had a '79 and a '91 Corvette promo, near-mint conditions with boxes, for only $5 each. They're both mine now.

Another great movie tune: And you my love, won't you take my hand? We'll go back in time to that mystic land Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow I will take you there, I will show you how

Steve Perry Oh Sherry. Tom Jones drops the Sex Bomb.

Very sharp indeed! We've seen several nice builds of this kit lately for some reason. Is Riv Fever sweeping the land?

Huey Lewis again, Walking on a Thin Line.

Huey Lewis, Heart of Rock and Roll.

She's a lady, wo wo wo Tom Jones

Arcade Fire Here Comes the Nighttime.

That's what I use. I use it for a LOT of modeling tasks. I'm pretty sure I could thin Testor enamel with it for airbrushing.

Have you painted it already? If so, you'll be seeing the sharpie again someday. If not, no problem--just take it off now with alcohol.

Never heard that. Where I come from, those two terms have been used interchangeably all my life.

A good washing in common rubbing alcohol should remove any residual stuff.
