Way cool, Jeff! That was good of the owner to let you "test fit" the seats! You gonna buy one? Remember, it's not the price, it's the payments!

Wish I had picked up one of those Fresh Cherries Gremlins when they were plentiful. Here is the only Gremlin pic I have in my 'Box Art" album... For pics of built Gremlins, check out page one of my built models album (not by me, sadly) It's all in alphabetical order http://public.fotki.com/JCole/model_car_shows/misc_model_contests/

Once I walked down a fishing pier... some guy on a boat threw a harpoon at me.

Thank you all for the info. I already have the kit. I think I will have to live with what AMT gave us, as fixing it or making the changes sounds like a real pita. At least the side trim can be altered... which I will, as I plan on doing a '57. I already bought the chrome from the Modelhaus. My plan was to build the Tulsa "Miss Belvedere", but... I just cannot wrap my head around making a mud pie. So I guess I will settle for what Miss "B" looked like before she went in the vault.

Here is another LowDown… I call them “Skateboardsâ€â€¦ I have a pic somewhere of that Mini, I’ll post it if I find it.

Fake. Fake. Fake! Everyone knows the typical scale modeler weighs at least 280 lbs!

Indeed it is!

I just had to share these pics... VW Beetle dubbed The Woodruff Special

Thank you for the comments posted so far! Keep them coming!

Does anyone here know of any issues building the AMT ’58 Plymouth Belvedere? Not only just the build, but also the alleged “rear window†issue. I recall comments that it was too narrow. True, or false? I did use the search feature, didn’t find any kit revues. Thanks.

Bought this 1/24 Corvette Stingray "Sideswipe" Concept at the big box store a few weeks back, just uploaded...

Forgivness or permission? Neither! I buy the friggin' model, and sneak it in the house when she ain't looking! I will have been happily married for 25 years this September.... it's an art form!

I have one of those in my "finish it someday" pile... except mine is 1/24. That looks great for a 1/43 scale!

Charles- Way cool Back Up Pickup! Totally unexpected. I believe this has been done in the 1:1 drag racing scene over the years!

As stated, the Black Beauty was based on that. Which ironically a movie remake is in the works... Let's hope the $2500 car fares better than the movie car (crash was allegedly not in the script)

Ideas? Also, check out my "Trans Am Racing" Fotki page... not just for Pontiacs http://public.fotki.com/JCole/trans-am-racing!/

Todo lo que puedo decir es yo no sabe. Pensé que fijaría esto en un idioma extranjero porque me frustran. Translation- REAL

How many Hookah hits per mile does it get? And how many "crew" did they go through to figure out how to change a tire on the fly? "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE AFRAID OF DYING! GET OUT THERE AND CHANGE THAT TIRE!!!!

I have more kits stacked up than I will ever open up, much less build. I really started slowing down on buying kits. In fact this year so far, I have purchased just one. Money is tight and I don't build like I used to. And the current MSRP's don't help either. I am still going to buy a Hudson kit when they hit the shelves. It is a beaut of a car! A man in a nearby town has a '54 Hornet convert. Another guy in that same town has a Hudson as well, and tho he still drives it, it really could use a resto. Factor in the stock car history of the marque, the fact that the car is a natural for customizing, plus the "Cars" movie awareness, and I feel it is a great choice. So even if the price is around the $30 range, I will buy it. That is the exception tho... I just cannot afford this hobby like I used to.

Back, way back, I actually bought that... lump. Bob's price sounds more familiar than that EvilBay fantasy. Truely aweful... but at the time, it was the only Tucker 1/25 (or so) model around. I did the "chrome" in BMF, the paint in MM Enamal. Later, I started noticing air bubbles in the foil. I guess that resin wasn't done gassing out. There is a second pic, but I'll spare us.

Actual seller name to do an E-Bay search is: frontier_resin_design Be sure to add the lower case hyphens

Chris- This will look great next to your collection of E vehicles you had at the NNL East! How did you ever hear of this casting? Is this resin body still available?

Do what you will.. I'm just here for the chicks & beer.

Some people create art. Some people critique. We need more of the former, less of the latter.

The point was to get Harry Pristovnik to respond. Mission accomplished.
