Dodge Driver

You're welcome! I enjoyed researching and learning about this incredible Ferrari and may other Koenig Specials. Thanks to you as well, Bill for the in-depth info you provide on a wide array of topics.

Perhaps you have seen this image, but here is the engine at another angle.

I wondered what that kit was all about. I think my want list just got a little longer. I never cared for the regular Testarossa, but this is real beauty, simplification aside.

Well done! Looks flawless to me.

Here's some discussion on the Fujimi 288 GTO. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/126322-fujimi-ferrari-288-gto-variants/ Kits can be had on ebay for under $35.00, shipping included. Look for the 250 part count.

Looking good there. Definitely has the look of an 80's Pro Stocker. Is that Dykem layout fluid on the fenders? I always assumed it would attack styrene.

Bill, the other driver has insurance. His insurance company told me that directly. The Pa State Police responded and interviewed us both. Today I had a heated phone call with the claims department supervisor. I got a raft of excuses and higher blood pressure.

That was done day one and several times since. I've already filed a complaint with the state Department of Insurance.

I was involved in a vehicle crash going on two weeks ago. The responsible driver won't give a statement to his insurance company. The insurance company won't move forward without his statement. My truck can't be driven. I'm bumming rides to and from work. What do I do now? I'm seriously irked and the insurance company knows it.

The interior is superb already. This one should be a knockout when complete.

A number of these truck parts are available in resin. Should you be interested, I can point you in the right direction. The grilles, the short smoothside bed, and the 4x4 running gear are out there.

Excellent replica. I really like it.

Great Camaro, Tom. The stance is spot on for a pro-street car.

Thanks, Snake. Would you be able to describe the strengths/weaknesses of those airbrushes? I want to paint with colors and finishes not found in spray cans. Nothing fancy or sophisticated.

That's some hands-on feedback I can understand. I'm still undecided on just how much I want to spend on an airbrush. Quality results are more important than price at this point. I research and end up confused most of the time.

Thanks for posting this, Bob. I've been anxiously awaiting an Enthusiast kit WIP. I plan to learn a great deal by watching you build your Countach.

Hmmm... Now your question about 'Cuda fender gills makes sense to me. '71 is my favorite 'Cuda variant. I see another treat for the eyes taking shape.

Southern Motorsport Hobbies (SMH Resins) sells a '68 Chevelle that's all but identical to that pricey one on ebay. It sells for about half the price of that ebay one. Here's the Time Machine (T.M. Resin) kit which costs more, but includes more parts. It is reasonably priced at around $55.00.

That's one beautiful AMC you have there.

Thanks Matt! I was studying the instructions at Hobby Search. The assembly does look challenging. My birthday is approaching...this kit might be a good gift to myself.

Bill, my plan is to start out with some Japanese curbsides and work my way up to a full-detail Fujimi kit. At the pace I work at, that may never actually happen But at least I have a plan

I'm slowly learning to take my time regarding Japanese kit buying. Thanks for your valuable info on these kits.

All the 1/24 scale Fujimi Ferrari 288 GTO kits I have seen feature the same parts count. The box contents appear to be the same. Yet the " Enthusiast" labeled kits carry a higher asking price on Ebay. What's the difference, if there is one, between the kit variants?

I was browsing the ebay resin automotive offerings just now. T.M. (Time Machine) Resin is listing the '70 Bonneville hardtop body once again. That particular body has been absent from his listings for some time. If you're wanting to convert a pickup to a hardtop, here's your chance.

The car art has a very Jack Kirby-like look to it. It makes me want to dig out my Marvel Comics and read 'em.
