    Dino 246GT

    Anders, that is one fine Dino you built!
  2. Actually, the 1960 thru 1963 model Corvair had the same rear suspension. The following year (1964) was the last of the first series car, and by then, Chevrolet did add a transverse leaf to the rear in an attempt to control wheel camber. In 1965, the second generation Corvair was introduced, and had an all new full independent rear suspension. Ralph Nader did harm sales of the Corvair, although it has been said that Ford's Mustang also contributed to the cars falling sales. I have owned a '65 Monza 4-door (shown below), a '63 Spyder Turbo, as well as some parts cars. Wish I still had one.
  3. I have a curio cabinet in my hobby room. The light inside is tripped by a motion sensor that stays lit for about ten minutes. These cabinets were designed to hold china. I bought more glass shelves and brackets to double the shelving.
  4. Try: SCALE PRODUCTION http://www.scaleproduction.de/
  5. This thing used to be in Hillsboro, NH. Maybe still is? Don't know. Part tractor, part airplane fuselage.
  6. And why do toasters keep popping up? Free pun, there.
  7. Consider writing a review on Yelp.
  8. Del rocked. When I was down, he did his best to help me out. He will be so missed.
  9. The art deco period brought about some unusual stuff.
  10. One unique Cad you have there! Seville by Bill Hines. Never thought I would see a custom of these.
  11. Awesome build!
  12. What Joe said. There is a build in progress by Jared Roach.
  13. Saw this '67 or '68 Mustang coupe when we left a restaurant today. Nice & clean.
  14. Oh yeah.... my eyeballs would have popped out as that slinks on by!
  15. Your kit part was damaged. Mine had a correct front axle. I can send you this one, if you like. However, I did strip the plating off of it. Just contact me and I could mail it to you.
  16. When that ugly, it must be the Tokyo Motor Show.
  17. I was thinking SkyNet finally became self aware.
  18. Oh man, that would be so fun! In my teens, we went out in someone's 4x4 on a Cape Cod beach. Rode a few miles along the coast. Possibly not as regulated back then. Other four by's parked along the coast, campfires, beer, and party time. Music, fun, and the sound of the surf. The best!
  19. Not a fan of the wheels, nor stance. Still, I wouldn't push it out of the driveway.
  20. Best looking whale I have seen! Last of the big Chevy sedans.
  21. Heard a rumor that this is coming back, but I find nothing on Round2's web & Facebook pages. Anyone else hear this?
  22. The hobby is slowing down. But it's not in a death spiral. No need to start digging a grave. Lot of good comments here. About the "new kits to last a lifetime" thought, I am more concerned about the building supplies availability. Is Testors cancelling some types of paint? Hate to see the assortment of supplies thin down.
