Dang! That is One Awesome 4x4! Wish Round2 could Give us something like this. To Scratch Build, I guess you'd have to combine the Deserter Chassis and the Long Gone GMC Pickup kits.

I'd start out with the 4 Door Plymouth Police Car. Given the love for Police Cars in General and that kit in particular, I can see it being viable. The Hangup is, of course, Stellantis and permission thereof. That and the Superbird would be a good start IMHO, and would simplify permissions. Never gonna happen, but nice to dream.

I have a big Irk, and a question. I'll have my One-year anniversary with my new employer soon. I enquired about vacation, as I will have accrued some Vacation Time on that date. I was told that at one year, I get 2 (two) days of vacation time!!!! Two, Whole Days!, and they were proud of it! They also told me that you need to work there 10 (Ten) years to accrue 2 Weeks....... Has anybody run into this before? I am in California. Is this a Labour Board Issue, or am I way off base? I've been working full time since 1981 and have never seen less than 5 days after one year. I am just flabbergasted.

Riley, it is very true! My Son is now 26. His wedding in in October! But, I am so deeply proud of the Man he has grown into. WE do not always agree on everything, but he is a thoughtful, hardworking Man. I am glad to have raised him. Mu own Father is 85 an has advancing Alzheimer's. It is so odd to be in the middle of both ends of life.

I have yet to see it go down in California. However, the price increases are now a few pennies at a time rather than 15-20 cents per jump. So, there is that, at least. The rate of increase has slowed...... PTL for small favors.

Man, I hope Round2 can find that Westcraft Boat. If they could find the Soap Box Derby racer, there might be some hope for the little boat. But, is it all on one sprue by itself, or were the parts integrated into the sprues for the kit? Well, we can hope. Round2 continues to produce small miracles from their old Tool Banks, when we least expect it.

Man, I could get all that packed in a One Gallon Ziplok Bag. (In fact I have, more than once.)

Does that Red Paint require an Airbrush to use?

Wow, Al, that sure is not what I expected.... Yet, it works well and looks great! Fantastic job.

Awesome, Snake. Another Magic Build!

Wow, Snake, what a great save on that kit! Looks better now than it ever did. You truly work magic on these Glue Bombs.

Izzat Da Aurora Kit or the Later R/M Kit? I can't tell. Sure is a great build!

What Terry Said. There are never enough of these Classic Cars built.

A fellow I worked for in the 1990;s had one of these in his shop. Sat in a corner, collecting dust, It was a Long Term Project Car, that did not get any work done on it, the whole 18 months I worked there. It was an Ex-Works Racer that had come to California some time in the late 1970's. It had a Full Race 2 Rotor Motor in it with 4 Mikuni Carbs. (or so I was told.) It had even wider fender flares than the kit, although they were beat up and cracked when I saw it.

Wow, a laser sharp build. The Colour Choice is one of the best for that body style.

Great Job. The colour is perfect!

Great Racer! I just found this thread. That Radiator is neat. Anybody 3D printing those yet?

Charlie Scott, I married one too. 27 Years ago. Still happy with my choice! (She gave up the spells after she got me! We've been Catholic for 24 years now)

Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. I am glad to know that I am not alone. There are some builders here on the board who complete such beautiful work, that I'll look at what ever they do. Other times, I see builds that just bowl me over with subject matter, even when the build quality is not quite as sharp. But, all who post here do really great work.

Cool Car, Thanks! A Fun Build.

Ah, Thanks, Jesse! I had no idea what the optional Engine might be in the Camaro. Sadly, my issue is that I can find few Pics of that 427 in many Drag Cars. It seems like the BB Rat Motor and the Various 392-429 Chrysler Hemi's came to Dominate quite quickly, even in the 1960's. I think some form of Elephant would have been a better choice than the Underdog Ford Motor, no matter how much some folks like the Fords. It just seem like the Gasser and Fuel Altered's were were dominated by the Chevy/ Hemi motors.

Thanks, Chris. I hope Atlantis can someday do something with the tooling.

Neat Machine. I have always wanted to build one, but never have.

As I said, can you really be impressed the Builders Craftsmanship and Detail, but still be totally turned off the Styling Cues and/or Subject matter of a build? Lately I've seen a few builds that are outstanding in their build quality, but just completely leave me cold, on Colour, Wheel Choice or Overall Look. I so badly want to like the Build, but they just turn me off. Am I the only person who thinks this way?
