Kit of The Decade? Heck, that's EASY! It's.... it's.... ...um, well.... ...uh, let me get back to ya on that.

The Classic Plastic club (from New England, not Calif.) is doing a "P.O.P." catagory for next year; Plymouth, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac, the Orphan Cars. I'll bet there will be several of the '72 Cutlass Does this sound like something any of you would try for?

Marcos, your Vega looks great! Two thumbs up! But... where's the rust?

Thanks Pat for giving us the opportunity to "be there!" If you get a chance, can you label the vendors? It's a great way for us to see what they have.

Jay, You have shared with us some awesome builds, why leave? IIRC, you built a '58 Plymouth "Christine" Pro Mod, and I also remember your '49 Merc Pro Mod. Both are freakin' awesome! No message board can be all things to everyone. We have faults here... just like real life. Sit back, have a cigar and a brew... and enjoy!

Thanks for the kind words, and advice Bill.

Some history on this 'toy' please! Who made it, and who sold it, and is it still available? I had the JF body, but I sold it. To do a decent job, would require fabbing all four light housings, plus vac-u-forming the lens. Although... the one in black up a ways sure looks sweet.

Some kits now have seats made of vinyl. I'm not sure of what glue to use. I hope one of the adhesives I already have will work; plastic tube cement, super glue, clear epoxy, JB Weld epoxy, rubber cement, or contact cement?

Build it! All that matters is what YOU think of it. BTW, what color(s) are you going to paint it? Maybe the "Frankenstein" nature of the design could be diminished, if it was one color, vs. a two-tone?

Thought I would share these. Hope someone builds it.

Real Rover!

Jeepster, are those wheels available for sale? The only way I will buy the resin Wag is if I can get the wheels to build a replica of my old Jeep. Perhaps RMR could also get a set to cast? Thanks for sharing!

Ya know, those tailight housings have a bit of 1958 Plymouth to them IMHO.

Perhaps just buy the kit. I bet someone here would buy the "remains" (kit minus decals) from you. I'd say $10 as a start. Not me... I have more kits then I will ever need.

I just found something on a 1962 Falcon 4-cam fastback http://bringatrailer.com/2009/07/30/ready-...2-4-cam-falcon/

I agree... another request for a write-up about dry transfers! Man that car looks great!

Thanks for the photo link, Bill. The Dodge Dart R/E wheelstander is by Del Paone... the man's work is in-freakin-credible! Lots of good stuff there by the looks of it.

My factory muscle cars... I need... more!

In the “Under Glass†section, you asked “Where do they sell Duplicolor paint? Is it a rattlecan?†Yes, it is a spray, usually found in auto parts stores.

Testors nozzles? What color nozzles? I know of someone who says the Testors white nozzles are junk... use their black nozzles.

Way cool! When I saw the pics, I thought "Boy, that is something that Dave McGowan would like!" Then I noticed the name below I remember your style from the Spotlight board. I think Dave Deal's spirit has found a new home!

Dave... You NAILED IT! It's good to read a positive spin on our hobby. Currently, I'm stuck in limbo... no urge to build. I haven't worked on a kit since last spring. My only link to the hobby has been this board, but for a while even that went bad what with the negative garbage being strewn. I didn't want to be a part of that. Now the coin has been flipped. Thanks!

Looks like a real Auto Union race car

It definitely is too screwed to look like a real KG, so... maybe a full blown custom? Clean it up, then maybe radius the wheel openings to fit some 19" wheels? Maybe say "bye bye" to the interior? I say it looks like a challenge!

Now that looks like all business! Guess that makes it a business coupe.
