I'll vote for Brainfart, and the typical disdain (or rather lack of understanding) that Europeans seem to have about Americans.

Because they are Fun! Because many of us have fond memories of them. Especially at time when Models were just that. Model Cars. Toys! Not Replicas. Not Scale Reproductions. For those times, (as an Child or Adult) you did not know or care, about exact scale fidelity. Truthfully, I think the Switchers kits look better than many of the old AMT '32 Fords, any way. And the MPC Fords offer some great engine and wheel options. There is a Joyfulness in the Switcher kits, that no Model today will ever have or attempt to attain, with today's Adult Oriented Marketing and Budget Constraints. Lastly because many people like them, and I suspect not all of the people who like them today, are the folks who built them when they first appeared in the 1970's.

At 2am, I do not find them Comical....... Especially when I have one of my Bi-Weekly bouts of insomnia.

Thank You, Steve. Proof that selling the 'Vert First leads to more Hardtop sales.

I guess it is a function of getting older. I love the sound of Hot Rod engines. But, there is a time and place for everything. At the Racetrack or Dragstrip, I'm in Audio Heaven. Driving down the street, not so much. Driving down the street in front of my house? No at All!

The comment I heard from the older folks 40 years ago, in response to Loud, Annoying Cars, was always, "How Nice, Daddy Got you an Accelerator Pedal", always delivered in a slow, sarcastic tone.

You , Steve, look to be the exception to the Rule. I've seen way too many 'dipped in molasses' paintjobs myself at shows.

The Real Ones never looked as good as your build! Very Nicely Done! Good Show.

Very Cool!

Wow! What a Home Run Build. I like the whole package. The subdued graphics are great. Good Show.

Thanks, Mozzi. I'll get some Tamiya Primer ordered. I already have some Tamiya Paints.

Thank You for the clarification, Mark. That clears up a lot of things.

Okay. I'll check it out. Thanks, Bill and Others.

Ok, thanks Bob. There is an Autozone pretty close by. So, 1200 , 2400, anything finer?

Thanks, Dave. Coming from you, I'll take that as the Final Word on the subject.

I've wanted both the '65 & '68 GTO's Just haven't found room in the budget for them. I see no problem with then being curbside.

How is the Coronet Hardtop selling. Is it slow moving, also?

Yes, Yes, Yes!! Revell has 80-90% of the tooling.

My '72 Valiant, was Blue over Blue.

So, I need to sand the primer? Finest paper I have is 800 grit. I'll need to see in Michaels or Hobby Lobby has some 1200 or 2400. Thanks.

It's coming, Mikos, It's coming. Steve has said that there have been some minor delays, but work is continuing on it. It'll get here, and then we can plan a group build of the kit.

Very, Very Nice! Moonshine Runner to racer in one easy step. Good Show.

Beautiful old Chrysler! I really like the older cars built as Racers. You've done a great job! Good Show.

Oh, it's a Roller coaster ride alright. Mine are 40,38 & 30. All are married, employed and pleasant to be around. You cannot ask for more than that. But, it took a lot of work to get there. Wanting to do you best is the key. There are no perfect answers, and baby books and online experts are never there at 3am when the Baby does something that the book says nothing about. My Advice? Trust your instincts. You will get to know 'your' baby pretty quickly. If you think something is wrong, don't spend hours second-guessing your self. Get the baby looked at. And remember. Our Grandmothers, had few of today's resources, yet they raised your parents. Lastly, You'll do fine! It is both the Hardest & Easiest thing you'll ever do. Only thing Harder? IMHO, staying married.
