Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like it. I loaded up some Top Gear Demotivational Posters I found and it was a pain to get to work right at 1am!

Possibly both, probably just in plastic. That could be a difficult car to Vacuum form out of lexan.

Is it me, or did the front axle not look right?

I think that was a hold over form the early days of the original car, not too sure if that goes all the way back to Hitler's involvment though.

I'd still rather have a PT Cruiser (turbocharged of course ), but it does look way better.

I thought that's what the TT was

One thing that struck me on this car was that the proportions seemed closer to the original Beetles than the current model. When I showed this link to a couple co-workers, one of more or less said the same thing without me mentioning it in the first place. I found this comparing the Original Beetle to the New Beetle Then found this comparing the New New Beetle to an early Porsche I'll be honest, I kinda like the looks of the the 2012 and think it would probably look really good with fadeaway fenders and some other traditional Kustomizing (yes, I ment to put that K there ) done to it! Maybe kinda like this

I do appreciate at it Pete, if you can PM me your address, I'll send a postal cashiers check right away while I'm there!

It's interesting and clever, but I can't imagine that Shelby and Nissan will be happy with him though.

Let me check with one of my local P.O.'s on that Tuesday, I think I have a can of Moss Green or Crystal Black CC at home that I can take in and ask if they can give me an answer. Thanks Pete, I appreciate it! Luckily, I won't be needing primer for this since it's being applied to the inside of a clear body, but it's nice to know what to use if I want to try it on Styrene at some point ) Luckily the Mopar stuff is one of the best lexan paints I've found, it's just as good as Pactra's R/C and Model Master's 2 stage lacquer lines and is priced comparably to them tooB)

I need something in a spray can, not sure where my airbrush is right now and I'm trying to do it for as cheap as possible so I can paint it then ship it to Indiana for no more than $60...including shipping.

The gal at the dealer I went to gave me this one XBQ and PBQ from the book she had at the counter, I appreciate at you checking though!

Yikes, the dealers don't even want $10!

Model wise, I'm surprised I even got that Challenger done...........RC wise, I've been working on this one for nearly 2 years now.......it's painted and that's about it More annoyingly, I haven't even gotten around to photographing it since painting it <_<

Have you guys run into this color in a less than styrene safe lacquer and in a spray can? It's called Jeep Steel Blue Pearl clear coat and a guy on a couple other forums I'm a member of wants me to paint up a Proline '92 Cherokee body up to match his last one (drunk took it out ) that was painted that color. Problem is that the local dealer doesn't have any and there are two dealers that do have it but can't transfer it to this one and there is a nationwide back order on it on top of it

I was going to say ugly........................

Anybody else annoyed that it has a Chevy motor in it?

Well, It's working on my phone again!

Thanks guys, next chance I get, I'll try and get one of those at Sam's Club and try them!

I'm having similar issues with the Google Browser on my 4 year old cell phone, it keeps telling that their engineers are jumping on to figure out what's going on and fix the problem I haven't tried the Yahoo browser yet, I may have to do that sometime soon, see if the problem exists there too............

The more I think of it, the more it seems like it would be a good idea to put some kind of paper around the inside of my "Spray Booth" (the old voting booth one ) and wondered if and what you guys do for that. Thanks for any info you can give.

I forgot about that Dodge/Meatwad commercial

Probably based around the joke of how some "economical" cars were so weak that there were rodents on wheels powering them

I think that may have started as a hard top '55 Chevy JB Edit, found some more info on the car, not only was it a '55, but it was a nearly brand new convertible when Barris' shop did the work on it! http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/the-aztec-goes-west/071107twilightcruis-4.html'>http://http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/the-aztec-goes-west/071107twilightcruis-4.html And here's some albums of the car from when it was new all the way through it's restoration! http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barris-1/the_aztec_55_chevy/50s_aztec_photos/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barris-1/the_aztec_55_chevy/how_the_aztec_was_built/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barris-1/the_aztec_55_chevy/aztec_magazine_covers/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/mazza_restored_1955/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/barry_mazza_custom/the-aztec-goes-west/
