"Rid Yourself of Doubt! (or Should You?)"

That does it. After Watching the Review, I was in for at Least 2 of them. One as a UFO Chaser (using the '63 Nova Decals), and One for a Sheriff's Car. But after seeing the Hub Cap problem, the Kit is ruined for me. I'll look for something else to build.

Could not have said it better myself!

The Odd Styling is the result of a lot of Driver Input, and Human Factors engineering. Visibility was a apparently a HUGE deal to the drivers, and the duck nose is a crash safety item. I'll admit is does look strange, but there are good reasons behind the choices.

Fireball Resin to the Rescue!

Excellent Idea! I hope Steve G. is watching.

Love The Powerplant!

I can see you triumphed on the Body. It looks very good. Much better than I could have done.

Meech, I'd try looking at Kit Builds over at Modeling Madness. They have a whole category devoted to Civilian airplanes. Reading there should give you some ideas, as many builders use aftermarket sheets, and usually tell where they got them. Here's the Lnk. https://modelingmadness.com/kitindex/kitindexcivil.htm Try these too. https://modelingmadness.com/decals/decalsidx.htm

Great Idea, Michael! I love it. I had that Hot Wheel, many years ago. I'd buy the Kit in a second if it had the parts/Decals you mention.

Excellent Work so Far!

I like your thinking! It does look better with the Longer Frame. (more room for the Blown 426 Hemi!)

Nope! Double Nope! Want an EV. Buy One. Live with it! But, keep your hands off original Gas Powered Cars. What's that tired old Automotive Collector saying? "It's only Original Once". Those "reputable" Companies? Grifters, catering to a Tiny percentage of an already Niche Market.I've seen some of their work. It's lousy. (as is most 'work' done these days,by newer techs- See Ace and his experiences) So, Don't give them more credit than they deserve. There will not more more than two or three of those "Converted Cars' on the road in 10 years, due to the lousy quality of both the work, and the cheaply made components. I want EVs to work. Nothing we have now works.

I'll call You on that. We know exactly what to do, and how to do it. We have over 100 years of automotive engineering experience to draw from on how to design a rugged, useful, inexpensive EV. But, we (collectively) will not do it. Why? Over the last 50 Years, we have taught the car buying public to expect the Latest, Greatest , most technologically advanced Cars and Trucks ever. A simple, robust commuter car, has been teased by Many Companies both Mainstream and Startup. None have been successful. There is no money to be made on these cars.

Another aspect to all this. In some cases, Johnny is just too stupid to ever learn to use math. But, nobody will say that out loud, because it's not correct to notice certain things about people.
