That is excellent. Both the build and the pics.

This is one of my Holy Grail kits!

So although the initial kit announcement doesn't excite me, I think it's a very good thing that they are back and actually releasing kits. And did I read that right? The Chevelle is a brand new mold? New kits are a very good thing.

I've been actively hunting for a big 70s station wagon for a couple of years now. Every time I get a lead on a decent one, it vanishes. Probably half a dozen times so far. Plymouth Fury, Ford Gran Torino, Mercury Cougar Villager, whatever. I will find one. One day.

We had one of these growing up! I was ticked when my dad sold it...about a month before I got my driver's licence. She was a project and wasn't perfect, but I loved it. Pic from summer 89.

That's a great looking build!

I like it!

This looks really, really good. Take some outdoors shots in natural lighting, and it would be virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

I love this build. And we haven't even seen half of it yet.

Really? I tried. My eyes don't roll far enough back in my head for how I'm feeling right now. I second the motion to eliminate the Off Topic section.

Saw a news report earlier. It seems there's something like 200 people that defied all of the mandatory evacuation notices and are now asking for rescue. I don't feel bad for those people. They should be rescued...and then given an invoice to cover the cost of their rescue. Hope everyone else comes out of this okay, with as little hardship as possible.

I just wish I still had all the kits I built back in elementary and junior high. They all ended up broken and/or tossed. A few Tamiya kits, a Ford promo ESCI Transit van, handful of Trans Ams all come to mind. Ah well.

The grille is perfect, and the hood needed a little trimming, but nothing serious. I'm really happy with how they look!

I think I bought your parts back in spring! I have the kit on the bench and it's nearing completion. Pics soon!

That's perfect! And far less $$$ than over at Shapeways. Thanks for the tip!

People with a victim mindset. Every perceived sleight is a personal attack and the whole world is against them. I have one of these on staff, and feel that their negative attitude outweighs their success at the role. Time for changes.

Hi all, I've scoured this forum, looking for a supplier of some aftermarket fenders for a Pete kit I'm working on. The vendors I've found through here either don't have them, or seem to be out of business. Specifically, looking for custom front fenders and rear fenders. Double Take have these http://kdhumphr.wixsite.com/double-take-replicas/product-page/peterbilt-359-outlaw-fenders which are exactly what I want, but they're out of stock and it looks like he's not doing any more anytime soon. The rear ones have proved even more elusive, as I have only found an aluminum set, and I want resin so they can be painted. So who has them? And who is a quality supplier that you'd recommend? THanks!

When you're having a conversation, and you talk about your own personal experiences, and then someone pipes in to explain how you're wrong. Wait a sec...I'm wrong? I'm telling you exctly what happened to me - my actual experience with something, and you're telling me that I am incorrect? Especially when their arguement is that they have experienced it differently. The next thing I typically think and sometimes say cannot be repeated in this forum.

Instructions are for suckers.

Turd Ferguson will be missed.

Every time you post one of these, it makes me want to give it a try. Excellent work.

Thanks for the tip! I've successfully worked with a warped frame on another Kenworth kit, so fingers crossed when I get around to this one, it's not that bad!

I have this on the bench right now! Typical Tamiya kit. It's pretty awesome.

Respectfully disagree. I've owned several VW over the years, my sis has owned a few, and they cost no more than any of the other vehicles that have been in the family. You just have to know what to watch for. Avoid all VW auto transmissions until about 1998. And do the regular maintenance on the VR6, otherwise that will get costly. Other than those, servicing was never an issue. Our 2002 Chev Tahoe required more servicing than any one of my VWs, nothing crazy, but it did need more. And my last Ford truck easily had more issues in 6 months than all 6 of my VWs combined.
