$44 for decals?! Not in this lifetime!

To me, those colors just don't go together at all. The Judge stripes really clash with the body color. I would have changed the body color to something that would compliment the interior and stripes.

I remember those tires. But, none of the variants of the '34 came with them.

Best example of this kit that I've seen! All of the extra work you did really paid off! Nice work!

I usually don't like stock. But, this model is so nice, I can't help but like it! Really nice work Joe!

That is a super nice looking Camaro Curtis! You nailed it!

So, I'm guessing that none of these is the "mystery" kit eluded to months ago?

This is my favorite build of this kit. It was built by Greg Pugh. Until I saw this model, I had no interest in this kit. But, after I saw it, I had to have one! Besides the things I mentioned earlier, I'm just not seeing the things that are so bad about it. IIRC, the only changes Greg made were the engine and rolling stock. To me, it's not nearly as bad as most kits from Moebius and it was tooled thirty plus years ago. Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the subject.

I started building the yellow version years ago. The biggest issue I discovered on it was the shape of quarter glass. It's too rounded and drops down a bit at the top rear. Pretty easily fixed. The rear of the roof can be fixed with some sanding. The grille on the box is nothing like the grille in the box. The grille in the yellow sedan is actually the most accurate of the AMT kits. It has more of a V to it. The hood sides are also much better than those in the five window. I was actually able to open the louvers on the hood sides on mine. IIRC, it's got some pretty cool aftermarket flathead parts. I'd like to get the '33 sometime just to check out the parts and such in it. I think it's street rod only.

Nice looking Ranchero Bob! The color suits it perfect! My older brother had a '69 Torino GT in the same scheme. I've always wanted to do a replica for him. But, the GT is very pricey.

One the dumbest ideas I've ever seen! Maybe while their at it, they can make one to go over their rearend too. ?

Thanx for that info Mark! I was in a discussion years ago about the stock Datsun pickup and someone commented that it couldn't be brought back to stock because it was modified into the gasser. Then later into the monster truck.

They could. But, I honestly don't know why they would. Unless they have two different molds for the cab. I can't see them going to the trouble of reverting the last issue back to a flip front end. If they do the stock/custom version, I'll get one. If it's the gasser version, I won't.

I'd just build it as it is and paint the stripes. Rather than convert the short bed to a long bed, extend the wheelbase and more than likely have to lengthen the body flares for the bed and sidepipes. Besides, it just looks wrong and out of proportion on the box.

They actually tried that exact thing in the early 2000's. They wanted to tax cattle farmers $500 per head per year. My father and I both agreed we would sell out completely if the law passed. Thankfully, it didn't. Be prepared. Beef is going to jump by a lot, soon.

Yeah, that's what it is.

There's no such thing as "clean" coal. Not in the mining of it. Not in the burning of it. Even if carbon dioxide could be removed, there's still the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that are emitted. Grab yourself a chunk of coal, set it on fire and get a breath of the smoke. Then see if you still believe it can be burned "cleanly".

So, the billions of current ICE vehicles in the world will magically disappear in 2035?

Exactly to your first statement. What I know about EV's would fit in a gnat's rearend sideways. Right now, they're the great unknown to pretty much everyone. It's no different than the people that just knew a microwave wouldn't work. As to your next statement, that still doesn't give you experience. Experience is what counts no matter the field. My dad always said, "You can read a book about driving a nail with a hammer. But, until you grab a hammer and a nail, you don't know much about it". But, he was one that knew a microwave couldn't possibly work. Until my brother bought one for him. I agree that EV's aren't the magic bullet that everyone's hoping for. But, we have to start somewhere. We'll never know if we never try. There's no greater ignorance than doing nothing. This is the only planet we have. For too long people haven't cared and have left it to the next generation. As long as it doesn't happen in their lifetime, they don't care. That old way of thinking is why we are where we are. Personally, I want better for my children and grandchildren.

I guess I read too much into "involved". Driving an EV after a body shop you're associated with after repairs only gives you the experience of driving one. Unless one owns or has worked on an EV, they don't have much knowledge about them.

With Round2, that doesn't matter. We'll know when the video comes out.

How many current EV's have you worked on? Not one's from 1974. Current. I'm guessing none as current EV's are still under warranty.

More than likely, it's this one.

I keep seeing the phrase "forced on". NO ONE is forcing anyone to buy an EV! You don't want one? It's simple, DON'T BUY ONE!!! We're a long long way from going totally to EV's. So, get over it. The sky isn't falling! I find it very amusing that there's so many EV "experts" on this forum. Somehow, they know all about them. But, don't own one, probably haven't seen one in person and have never driven one.

Mar guard won't as it sticks with static cling.
