with chartreuse, but

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.

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.

That looks really good! Almost too good, needs to be dirty.

That's wicked! The craftsmanship is awesome. Better be, for $1.8M. Does the white microfiber towel come with it?

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.

Years ago I saw in a catalog, a future release for the Boyd Sportstar as a resin kit.

Sorry, keeping that Bugatti. The Ford GT40 is just parts, have listed in the Trades thread. PM me, if you can.

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.

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.

Yea, I'm a classic too. For now, my pickup purrs along very well (knock on wood).

Thanks for taking the time to prove me wrong. The list price for my truck was $2,150. Look at all that plastic....

Ok, I'll jump into this topic. First off, has anyone defined "classic" yet? I know it depends on your age. I've owned a 1948 Chevy pickup, that at the time was 48 years old. Fast forward to now, and my 1969 Chevy pickup is ... 49 years old, and youngsters call it a classic, but I consider it just old, but it does have a historical plate. I need to have a paradigm shift when I drive it, such a huge difference from my 2016 electronic device with wheels (Honda Civic). What to miss: 1. Windshield wipers that are one speed, and slow at that. RainX is great stuff. 2. Defroster that is like mouse's breath. I got caught in a gullywasher, just about used up the Kleenex wiping the inside of the windshield. 3. Smell of gas and exhaust, coming through the holes in the firewall. 4. Watching the gas gauge drop like a rock. 5. Sounds like a jet fighter taking off, when going into a headwind, at freeway speed. 6. Having to plan way ahead for braking. Even though this pickup has a 1 ton brake booster, the drum brakes have no ABS. 7. The sound of the power steering pump, I shouldn't turn when not moving. 8. Waving at other owners who are enthusiasts. Those who consider it just another old truck don't. 9. Steel, no plastic door panels, trim, etc. 10. Ordering parts, and then finding out they got the wrong one, even though you double checked part numbers and took pictures and..... 11. Finding out many parts are reproductions made in China. If you were to totally restore an American vehicle nowadays, it would end up being about 1/3 Made In China. But I'm digressing, not staying on topic. 12. Wanting to get a model kit, and finding out they are collectible and expensive from those who know this. Nothing to miss here. Today you need a mortgage to buy a brand new pickup. No such thing as a 'stripper' anymore. Bet everyone would agree the low cost is what we miss.

You could have put a few more bolts, around that area. Love the creativity! Making a simple base like that really adds to displaying it.

Wow, it's not very aerodynamic. Awesome job sir, love the weathering.

Digging up a vintage topic! I searched to see if anyone built the Monogram: Bugatti 35B Grand Prix kit, and see the answer is no. I just picked one up that came from an estate. Also got a Monogram: 1934 Duesenburg SJ Weyman Torpedo Phaeton, Monogram: 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged, Lindberg: 1935 Auburn Speedster, and am now thinking of the 1941 Lincoln that I saw today. Something different is good for variety.

Years ago, saw an MG that had been flared, looked much like a Cobra, so that would be a fun subject with a V8. I already have the "regular" Huracan. Lambo's "forged carbon" would be fun to do, just use an old brush and do a lousy paint job stabbing at the surface, then gloss.
