Can-Con

Yup, and I bet that Gal wasn't even in the showrooms yet when they made the movie.

2 or 3 really good zingers in there Bill but if I posted them I'd alienate myself to a large number of my U.S. friends and possible get banned to boot. 😆

Here's one from one of my favorite movies, bonus points if you know which movie the pics are from. The remake of the movie can't hold a test tube to the original.

Chassis is almost done. Need to add the front uprights, make a steering rack and tie it all together so the wheels are poseable. But anyway, here it is in color. Haven't decided on the shock color, leaning towards yellow. Also thinking about a very light beige for the engine and tranny. All that bare aluminum just doesn't do it for me.

I have a bottle of sub-lime too [limelight] and it looks right to me. One of my uncles had a limelight '71 Demon right before I got my driver's license. Your Porsche looks like what I picture go-green as but a little lighter. The can I have looks even darker then the Dart in this pic. I know different screens will make it look different depending on the settings but the can I have just looks too dark, even in bright sunlight. Like I said, I'm just chalking it up to a bad can. I'll probably just live with it, maybe I'll like it better after it's clearcoated.

I have a can of the Testors "green go" that I've been saving for the right car. I sprayed my '71 Demon with it but it came out much darker then it should be. Guess I got a bad can.

All you need from that is the box, Gerry. Just get the chassis from the longbox '88-/90 kit and cab parts from the extended cab kit and it all fits together like it was made for it ,, which I suspect it was. No need to fool around with the short chassis if you can get a longbox chassis plate.

No, that was the next body style.

Vinyl tops on large cars. I even like the "SimCon" style on some '70s and '80s full size 2 door luxury cars like the Caddy Phaetons and some Continentals.

Not exactly my favorite as I have no favorite but,, Just to be random, anyone else remember this "Doctor's" Buick Electra? 😁😉

Combo for sure and a popular kit bash back then. Easy to do if you have all the kits. '88-'90 longbox for the chassis. Also gives the poseable steering engine and underhood detail parts. Extended cab snap fast plus for the cab and interior. and the stepside for the bed. Everything was designed to interchange and fits perfectly. The hood is even separate and the engine bay molding is pretty well the same as the glue kits so all the parts from both the regular or SS454 kits fit . BTW, you could just shorten the snap chassis but it has the engine underside molded into it same as the promo chassis.

That's what I always use. I've even used it to glue together painted pickup boxes with no problems.

As long as they're not computer generated.🙄 [are we in trouble yet?]

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "little people" [or is that totally in bad taste and "non-PC"]😕

it'd be interesting for someone to measure the width of a real one to see which is actually closer. One of my uncles has a longbed '86[ish] I've been thinking about buying from him and I'd measure it but it's 35 miles away and I don't get down that way much.

Thanks for checking Rob. This limits the kitbashing ability between it and the other kits already on the market. Knocks it much lower on my want list.

Adam, Atlantis reissued that kit just a few years ago.

I uses to use HOK a lot. Always just thinned it with cheap lacquer thinner.

It definitely is.

Rob, do you have one of the oft reissued Monogram /Revell 1/24 square bodies to compare the overall width of the bodies to? I have a hunch that's closer to their 1/24 kits then that AMT kit.

Lots of famous people in music who built car models too such as Randy Meisner and the Van Halen brothers.

Basic Instinct poster shot but XXX rated. 🙄

I'll also be keeping an eye on your progress. These are my favorite generation T-bird, I've built two so far but don't have a '67. It's my favorite of the 3 grills though. I think I'll find a different chassis next time though. I find those ones, especially when they've been glue-bombed to be more trouble then they're worth.
