Take THAT, NBC! Ha! Well, it does kinda look like a mouse!

Mother Nature has a hissy at the Russo Steel Auto Auction in Arizona, many collector cars wet and damaged. I hope this link works... http://www.azfamily.com/video/featured-videos/Russo-Steel-car-owners-still-not-allowed-in-to-assess-storm-damage-82364787.html

ZOINK!

Now that will be a great resin kit! I have a few photos for reference; don't know if you could use them. Feel free to help yourself. http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11-porsche/914-4-914-6/

H/O... Hurst / Olds in this case. For other vehicles, it often means "High Output".

Tuffone, fine looking rig you're building. Just hope some 'Legal Beagle' type doesn't reach in that bed, and gash his arm open on the mesh. Maybe a frame or a bar across the top? Keep this build going!

Bob- I've always admired that 914-6 you built! As a result, I have two kits, one will be stock, the other race. At least that's the plan. Thank you for sharing the details on how to build one as good as yours (if that's even possible)

Ya know what I think? I think you should check out these two albums in search of inspiration! DODGE: http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11_mopar-1/11_dodge/ PLYMOUTH: http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11_mopar-1/11_plymouth/ BTW, both albums are arranged alphabetically, to make searching for a year or name easier.

This build is just so "Way out there" I'm really liking it! I wish I was cabable of this thing you call "imagination". Is the engine purely fictional? As I see it, I think it is two horizonally opposed Chevy sixes? How do you develope the confidence to know if your design is feasible? Ditto on your suspension designs! I need to watch this build, as I am starting a similar truck but with not so ambitious powertrain and running gear. A tip of the hat to your building skills and "dare to be different" style!

Hi Charlie- Nope... I'm not aware of any Colebrook around here. His two Deuces are parked for the winter as well as the Harley. He is understandably security conscious, and I respect his privacy by not disclosing his location, other than to say that we are all New Englanders.

BTW, you may want to check out my "Studebaker & Avanti" Fotki album as well. This album is not rearranged alphabetically however. This album does have some LSR Studes. http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11_studebaker__avanti/

The uber-rare Blizzard 500 Edition!

Curt Raitz showed these rivets from the aftermarket...

You can never have too much duct tape!

Thanks for posting that Tom. I miss your builds from the other board

This is a great thread! I really dig Limo's in scale. I have every one of the Presidential Series from Yat Ming, plus a Chrysler 300C and a Navigator, all in 1/24 - 1/25. If the Town Car is to the same scale, I wouldn't mind buying one. I wish someone would cast one!

Now that's going to look sweet!

Wow. I would think that at over 175 mph, you don't need fire suppression, you need a body bag! FWIW, here is a link to my LSR Racing Fotki album. http://public.fotki.com/JCole/race-cars--trucks--/

See what a long divorced, retired school teacher can do after making the right investments? He told me his Harley was courtesy of Exxon. He cashed out wisely before the financial world collapsed. Here is some pics of the hobby room... I guess that makes this the "Exxon Harley"

I don't recall how many kits he has, it's in the thousands tho. You should see his hobby room above the garage! He sells these kits in the summertime at an automotive flea market, but sales are slow (plus he charges too high, IMHO) BTW, that's a two car garage... and these are the two cars in occupancy... More soon.

Jay, I'm sure this will look killer! Always great detail.

No, it's not mine, unfortunately. Belongs to someone I know. Those kits are keeping good company BTW the deuce is mine... as soon as I win the lottery.

I guessed "real", it's hard to tell one way or another

Thank you everyone for your advice. As for the Flintstone site, notice that nothing is said about how long to soak. Thus my original Q
