    I love Jade green. But what is the pickle green craze in 1:1 world? Just odd. But Jade Green, silvermist green, Verde Pino, all rock.

    Try Taittenger or Mumm's champagne. Even if it's wrong it's tasty. LOL Crown, Southern, and Rott N Grapes have that vineyard in PHX area. Get cigars too. Model building can be fun!

    The chrome on the 67 looks better than the matte stuff that came from factory. Many if not all 67 annual AMT's had horrible chrome. I'll have to try it.

    Huge omission from Ford vs. Ferrari- The Monkeemobile! Sweet. Never have seen that, ?

    I've never seen any. Great idea, but in 60's not a thing. My Daytona had nada either. IIRC it had a towel. Few of those survived. For the money, I doubt many owners changed their own flats. LOL. Like Sinatra always said "Ashtray's full, time to trade"

    Nice truck. Halibrands probably from wheel pack with added rims I think. Chrome there, that's the hard part anymore. Really savable. Cool That glue is pretty ancient. Water and freezer may be all you need.

    So much win. Such a car.

    Great work. Perfect tool roll not available. About 35-40k for one. LOL. Fortunately less $, more work. Roll was Schedoni leather.

    Nice build Chuck Needs a Fronty. All up with motor.

    A member or 2 here said it was VW licensing, but is it TD?

    Correct spelling. Searches don't fix spelling errors, and they look silly. I've found great stuff wandering amongst the misspelled listings. People missed it, and I didn't.

    Really great build. I so much prefer these to the newest nearly silhouette style DTM's. I have the black bank version, wish I could do it justice the way you did, Dale. Agree that RG kitting this was great. Need more of this stuff.

    The other issue seems to be kids/families can't afford to get kids a car, or cover insurance. Hard to get jobs as kid when there's adults competing for flipping burgers. Hard to get old cars that won't die, or need expensive work that many can't DIY. Kids rack up college debt or have hard time getting decent job, what, 30% or more live with parents? Wise they wait to have kids. Once they get income, they can borrow. I'd be curious to see what lease vs. finance rate is. That, and 72-month financing?? Nuts. Kinda sad.

    LOL, I saw those too. Always the way. Was going to PM that link to Steve. Once I have a coupe or convertible, I end up needing the companion. Weird story-bought an awesome built 63 Merc convertible, stock save for custom front seats. Don didn't make stock seats at the time, surprisingly. Was going through parts, and found stock seats for it. Only time I bought a model that I had parts for prior to the car.

    Chassis looks great. Worth a redo, anyway. Awesome work. Still some decent bodies out there. I've got a ton of resin, not seen this before. Good luck man.

    Looks great. Mad skills. Brad is poster child for mad skills and patience. No idea why people do some of the stuff they do to 911's when they could do this, or have Alois do it. Ring proven. Great watching progress.

    For this car yeah, the dip. But, Alfa GTV's 1600-2000's and this, it looks great.
  19. DukeE
    Cool model. Looks similar to promo warp. Any sun hit it or the case where is is?
  20. DukeE
    Without the decalling torment. Well worth it just for that ?
  21. DukeE
    Stinks. But, the purple looked like Prugna. Factory color like Eggplant/Plum, hence name. Lighter primer may help?

    The 63 Galaxie is coming back, as are the Firestone Supremes. Hopefully the Fire Chief 32 Victoria will return. it's due for a comeback I think too. That old Galaxie is a great kit, despite a couple things. 57yo and looks great on the shelf. Big old thumpers from Fords greatest years.

    Piece of dookie (DukeE? Bwahahahaha)

    Yep. I'm 1/2 catholic, 1/2 Jewish, fond of the 10 C's. Judgy ain't one of them. LOL. Always liked your sig. Witch hunts and finger pointing popular anymore. I think Teslas and Elon are the devils cars though. Yeah, Mike, that was on the 3rd tablet Moses dropped (Mel Brooks ref)

    It was irony. Sorry you're upset. I love new issues of needed cars, I like some re-issues. At this point, I've got all the annuals/foreign kits/resin/showcars/etc. I need. Modeling cars you've had is fun, but with a brand new ground up tool, which are fairly decent, what demographic is this thing aimed at? What kid wants a soccer mom car? Civics are awesome. So lumping them in with Odysseys/Harriers(RX350)/this thing is apples and seeds. It'd be more popular if it were an i30N, which is a GTi challenger, and kids and adults love them. But, not my nickel.
