  1. The Germans already started it with the Liberty then the Patrion, Compass, and finally the current Grand Cherokee.
  2. Where is the murals from? It looks like it could be related to a set of graphic novel shot glasses he got for his girlfriend last Christmas.
  3. Sadly, the same could be said for the Aspen and Volare of the same generation.....
  4. It's like the Mini, those are more of a legend in Britan and maybe Europe than here. Our legandary peoples car here is more likely the tri-5 Chevy's than the tiny Euro gas sippers needed for Eurome comming out of WW2.
  5. Ok, still kinda away so here's a couple I knocked out tonight. For the first one, I've long considered the Lotus 7/Chaterham to be the British "Track-T". I would love to build Track-T someday using a relatively modern domestic turbo 4 cylinder ( I had wanted a 2.2/2.5 early T1, but could happily use a SRT 2.4 turbo motor too) and then set it up so it can actually turn well and make it a decent Track Day type car too. The second one is a Track-T....ish roadster, more along the line of the Alumacoupe, but with the engine where it belongs.....between the driver and front axle centerline!
  6. Wow, those are as cool as your low rider builds!
  7. Thanks Gary! Here's another, I was kinda aiming for a kustom 4dr Hudson with this one.
  8. Geez man, these paint jobs are just insanely cool!
  9. Nice, that would fit in nicely with those flat black '05 Impalas we built too!
  10. Were the rabbit ears for an on board tv?
  11. Ah dang, I was afraid that was going to be your answer, thanks for the quick answer too!
  12. Ok, this is going to be beyond nuts
  13. Looks good, I see that one also has the Distributor splash guard molded on too.
  14. Ok, that's weird, if I can ever get my hands on another Lebaron GTS, that's pretty much what I would, but would go with a built auto and maybe a BBS style wheel. Not sure how close they are as it had been a while since I had been under a K-Car, but it sure looked like the 4 wheel disks off my folks '06 Town and Country would be a close fit to the H and P body's I owned
  15. On occasion, but that doesn't mean the model gets build anytime soon.
  16. Dang, another fantastic build......where are you finding those Cragars at?
  17. That is cool looking, love the stance and flake in it too! Could be meant to look like brake drums painted white Harry
  18. Have you seen tbe ads for the Hyundai Velocitor? Seems like it's trying to pick up on some Pacer like themes.
  19. I'm guessing that's for patroling parks? Do they sell a tandem model for prisoner transport to?
  20. You never know Glenn, it is a "cute little car" and that can count for quite a bit with some buyers, no matter what their age, income bracket (it is surprisingly cheap), ect. I sat in one at The Chicago Auto Show and it was nearly as roomy as the PT Cruiser, just sitting in it, felt much more substantial and roomy than the Smart cars they had there.
  21. Sounds like most of there stuff we'll initially be seeing will have a Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep nameplate on it. Not sure if they will be bringing other stuff under their name or under the Alfa and Lancia nameplates too. I have read that they are thinking about bringing the Cherokee name back......as a friggen crossover! Somebody on another forum refered that as the Cherokee getting it's very own Mustang II
  22. Don't know Shane, but I'd bet it'll still run off from the Prius Campus Security car I saw in Dekalb, IL last september!
  23. Better watch out guys, those things use the same motors as Predetor Drones from what I hear, I'd hate to find out what other goodies it shares with those!
  24. You know, my Jeep is the same way Rick. It's done stuff on pavement that no vehicles like it have the right to do...let alone vehicles that should be more capable than it.
