Man, I am so happy to find these! I used to do quite a bit of sketching back then. I haven't done a picture in decades. Here is one of them...

You can build a fairly good 2D from the Monogram kit. If you find one, it shouldn’t cost too much. Only the top of the engine will be visible. I used the block from the Beer Wagon, which needed a platform to raise it to the correct height. The wheels are from Perry’s, and would be difficult to find now. This is the kit:

Try typing "Chaparral" into the search feature. There have been a few shown on this board.

Nevvah hoid of it!

Wow... snowing in Phoenix! The weather has been out of whack for quite a while now. A meteorologist once explained "global warming" as out of balance weather patterns, and extremes that continue over a period of time. Whoever named it "global warming" really blew it. Even unusually cold weather can be a result of these screwy weather patterns.

I am hoping for a better year ahead. This year was a bust as far as building goes. I completely lost motivation. Here's to looking for a better future. Happy New Year to my hobby board family!

Kane, that has to be one of the best... the cleanest looking 'stang coupes I have seen here! Congrats!

Peter, I don't think I have ever seen anyone else display such a classic display! Nothing else compares. Good job, bud!

Dang! Both look great!

That is a great custom! I found this pic... probably a photoshop? Bring it to life!

The holiday is way too stressful. This year I was running around looking for what amounted to worthless trinkets just so I could fill the wifes Christmas stocking. Why? Such a hassle. We have no kids, but my wife loves Christmas. I already suggested to her that next year, we are doing a "3 & 3"... three wrapped gifts under the tree, and three items in the stocking. She agreed. Yeaaa!

Here is that Mustang I mentioned...

THIS is what the media calls a Plymouth Barracuda! Video @: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=12464511

Floods of water, then mud trashing property in the southwest. I have noticed on TV a few glimpses of classic cars in the muck. A 1955 or thereabout Chevy pickup in a driveway, a first series Mustang half buried. Anyone know of any others? Of course I mean no disrespect to those who lost far more important property. On a related bizarre note, a man wanted to show friends his Plymouth Barracuda, took a wrong turn in the gated community, and ended up on the Bush Compound in Texas. Secret Service was not amused. NOTE: I caught a glimpse on TV of the car, looks more like a 70’s era Mercury Cougar.

I have the ERTL / ESCI issue, which may be the same tool(?) and it looks to be as advertised @ 1/24

That is how I would build it. Even the color is right!

I believe it is real!

Scale snob here! But, not between 1/24 and 1/25. Those two scales can be placed side by side as far as I am concerned. It's the small stuff... 1/32 or smaller, and large scale... 1/20 or larger, that just don't fit in with my display. Some day, I want to try the other scales, as long as I can park them away somewhere else.

Box scale

Wow! Harry... you made me work for this one! I just sent pm to you. Good game!

K- Now that's the cat's nads!

So Kewl! Gonna look great next to your Lug Bug!

"Zombie Claus"! I think I now know what I want on my front lawn!!!!

Can someone explain what is wrong with the front bumper?

Oh, btw Darin, God knows this entire thread had not one letter of silliness before I posted.
