  1. I'm liking this conversion!
  2. Very nice looking Chevelle! That's about the lightest blue I've ever seen! I always liked the light blues that GM used thru the 70's.
  3. You've done a great job on this build! I have one of these kits in the stash. I'll keep in mind your comments on the quality of this kit.
  4. I've used Rustoleum, but never on a model. I have used Duplicolor on models for years, with good results.
  5. Super job on this one! Plenty of detail to keep me looking!
  6. Carry on, dude! There's always something else that needs built! LOL Grab a MOPAR kit and go after it!
  7. I like this comparison trio. Very well done on all three!
  8. Your work makes it look long and low!! Great looking build! I really like the color, too!
  9. Chrome, anyone? Or, do you prefer gold?
  10. Great looking Plymouth! Very smooth looking paint!
  11. I like it, too!!
  12. Amazing creation! Sort of has a "Mad Max" tone to it.
  13. A sweet little MOPAR!! Everything looks just right! I'm digging the tint along the top of the windshield!!
  14. Splendid engineering! A beautiful Ford!
  15. Spectacular build! Love the stance on the front...weedeater territory!! The color looks great on this one!

    Fabulous job on this Bowtie!! The color is perfect for the body style! The stance is killer!

    Very cool orange, in my opinion! I've heard these cars called "poor man's Vette" and "mini Vette". I always thought they were sharp little rides. I need to add one of these to my stash.
  18. The first car I encountered with the dimmer switch on the stalk was a 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix. The car was very nice, but the dimmer switch threw me off for a bit!! LOL
  19. That Dodge looks fantastic! Keep 'em coming!!
  20. I miss the fact that a "regular guy" like myself could afford a "HOT" ride back in the day. Most of the new stuff is out of my reach.
  21. One cool thing about some of today's cars is that fuel efficient engines can have good horsepower. My V-6 Chrysler has 300 HP, and is plenty peppy.
  22. This shows the diff between a 2015 Challenger and a 1970..... Challenger SE, SXT Charger R/T Scat Pack 1970 Dodge Challenger 0-60 ~6.6 ? “Mid 5s” n/a Horsepower/Torque 305 / 268 372-375 / 400-410 470 / 470 425/490 Mileage TBD TBD TBD n/a Wheelbase 116” 120" 120” 110 Length 197.7 200.1" ? 191.3 Width 75.7 74.5" ? 76.1 Height 57.0 58.2" ? 50.9 Track 63.1 63" ? 60.7 Weight (lb) 3,834 4,082 ? to 3,336 2014 Chall. weight 3,720 4,132 ? (vs SRT) Weight distribution 52/48 54/46 ? 1970 Mustang Wheelbase 108 in (2,743 mm) Length 187.5 in (4,762 mm) Width 71.7 in (1,821 mm) Height 50.5 in (1,283 mm) Curb weight 3,122 lb (1,416 kg) (base)[50] 2015 Mustang Wheelbase 1 0 7 .1 Overall length 1 8 8 .3 Overall width 7 5 .4 Overall height 5 4 .4 Track, front/rear 6 2 .3/64.9 The '70 Challenger was bigger than the '70 Mustang, so I don't think the new Challenger isn't all that far out of place. The new Mustang is very close to the same size as the '70 model. I'd love to have a recent Challenger in the driveway to go with the 2017 300S we enjoy cruising in.
  23. I bought a new Dodge Avenger in '95. It seemed like those cars were everywhere, along with the Chrysler Sebring cousin to the Avenger. Now, they don't seem to be around.
  24. I miss the size of the early autos. Today's "Full size" car is about the same size as the "mid size" cars of the late sixties. And some of the small cars of today were unheard of back then.
