  1. Thanks for posting pictures. Awesome job on those! I'm torn on selling, or keeping the Duesy that I acquired, now that I see one complete, may just keep it. I got the Cord because I found a great book on the car Tom Mix got killed in, lots of studio photos for reference, and he filmed some in my area.
  2. But..... but the box says: "Certified as authentic by the Bugatti Owners Club Ltd. of England." You one of those rivet counters I hear about? That's awesome information, that would guarantee I never get it built. Just making realistic engine-turned aluminum parts would be a death wish. If I built it, looks good enough to do Box Stock, but I would strip the chrome off the wheels and paint Alclad aluminum.
  3. I saw that too, think on my Yahoo home page. These conversions are fun project ideas.
  4. Really nice workmanship! The doors, I see what looks like a latch? That's a detail many of us skip.
  5. Not bad for a die cast, and can't beat the price! I have an AMT kit of that, have a diorama idea for it, based on a real car I knew about last century, under a tarp.
  6. Got to catch up on this show. Olds Cutlass 442, that was a waste! Saw the Javelin. The Matador, no love for it? I was more excited to see the '69 Chevy pickup, since I own one. Of course the '72 Chevy 4x4 is nice. Wife was like "how do you know what that is, looking through the baseball hoop?"
  7. , sorry, the thesaurus
  8. , try Pepto Dismal.
  9. with chartreuse, but
  10. Very nice build! I didn't remember the luggage requirement until I built my J-car. People used to do manifold cooking, put your hot dogs on the engine before you start your trip, ready by lunch.
  11. Hey, the mere fact that you finished it, is much more than I can say! I have stalled on my Porsche 959 Paris Dakar project, which I plan to make filthy.
  12. That looks really good! Almost too good, needs to be dirty.
  13. compatible, just green
  14. hatched by environmentalists
  15. That's wicked! The craftsmanship is awesome. Better be, for $1.8M. Does the white microfiber towel come with it?
  16. Regarding the Heller, if it's anything like the Mercedes 170 that I built, would take a lot of work to look right. I want to say the other is an ICM kit, Admiral, need to check out Squadron to verify.
  17. Years ago I saw in a catalog, a future release for the Boyd Sportstar as a resin kit.
  18. Sorry, keeping that Bugatti. The Ford GT40 is just parts, have listed in the Trades thread. PM me, if you can.
  19. You did a really good job with that! The color stands out. Like the gold (or is it bronze) wheels. Like the panel lines darkened. But did you forget the fuel caps? I built that kit too.
  20. Part of an estate, subjects I would never have thought about getting, much less knew about. I searched this forum to see if anyone built the Lincoln, see it's popular. The Bugatti, nobody built it? The IMC Lola, fugetaboutit.
  21. Yea, I'm a classic too. For now, my pickup purrs along very well (knock on wood).
