I have several pics in my photo album, I don't know what they are. Since I caption most of the pics I have, your help will be greatly appreciated. #1: #2: #3: #4: #5: #6: #7:

That is kewl! The road courses are the only Nascar racing that I care for, which is apparently the opposite of the majority of Nascar fans. Turn left... AND right!

Classic Plastic (and I believe other contests as well) have a "Shelf" class that will work for that. Even the "Misc." class is OK.

"WARNING: Again, no swearing, attempting to swear, etc."

What was their styling inspiration? A brick?

WoW! What a great save of an amazing find! Now why can't I hit a yard sale like that?!

Jim, Is that a Supra, or an Eclipse? Sorry... I don't speak Japanese I also have filler in that "bottomless" tube. What a stupid shape for a container! Diff to stand it up. I use a big plastic cup to stand it... keeps any potential separation away from the cap. Good job on the chin spoiler addition!

Hairspray! As a model building tool or supply? Who knew?! But I would say the results speak for themselves! What a convincing finish!

I am also saddened for your loss. As you move forward in this process, may you and your wife find peace and comfort from friends and family.

I would think that the easiest way for the manufacturers to go about this, is to let model clubs (who already know a thing or two about how to set up a contest) do the show, and they in turn will sponsor them. This, in turn with a good healthy dose of Harry's "much to gain, little to lose" mantra, may be just the ticket. Also, if anyone thinks there is a perfect formula for promotion in the 21st century, well I doubt it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Lee- RWD Cadillac Flagship Gets Go-Ahead GM CEO Ed Whitacre's directed Cadillac to develop a RWD flagship model positioned above the upcoming Cadillac XTS according to Car&Driver. It's mostly speculation at this point, but for now dream sweetly of the Cadillac Sixteen. [Car&Driver] http://jalopnik.com/5561314/rwd-cadillac-flagship-gets-go+ahead

CAL- Thank you! Much appreciated. I hope to finish the updates in the morning.

NO! LoL! I'm sort of like a farmer... I harvest what I need!

I missed the race, but tuned in just in time for the podium. The results had a familiar ring to it. Check out my 2010 LeMans album. http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11-race-cars--trucks/24-hours-of-lemans-2010/ Note on page 2, I have several labeled "What make?" Can you help me label them by using the photo number, or car # to call them out? Thanks.

Harry, maybe because all the employees that remember, or were even involved in those endeavors were laid off, let go, or moved on? Maybe they need a history lesson.

WoW! Passions are strong on this subject! I would say that the Charger name doesn't belong on a two-door car, yet... it has been pointed out why it was done. It's marketing. What's done is done. The more-door Charger does sell, second generation (oops! I mean "restyle!") is on the way. Used to be a two-door, now it's a four door. Not the first time that has happened... just ask any fan of the Ford Thunderbird nameplate. I think a bigger question would be, "Will the new Chrysler-Fiat survive?" Now, what was this topic thread about?

Sadly, I doubt there is enough profit margin (if any) for Chip Foose to bother.

I always liked the Ford Forty Nine Concept...

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Art.

I started a build of the pre-paint Charger by Testors... I got the 5.7 engine finished... ...and hacked off the die-cast hinges ...then packed it up. Maybe someday I will finish it?

DANG! That looks just right! The weathering is spot-on, too!

Yes, restyle... my bad on the description. But the again, I still think of the '56 Corvette as the true C2 (2nd gen.) 'vette.

Limited photos of the next generation Charger surface...

Maaso, I hope your insurance agent doesn't read this! Blown engines and wrecks seem to have a way with you. I like both your white trucks! The Typhoon is one rare piece. How did it rate in the 'fun factor'?

Barbo, that is great news! I never realized this was available. I have never tried golf. Well... not completely true.... I have, but that windmill always screws me up. Anyhow, I hope you had a good game.
