That is seriously sharp!

Swoopy Semi ? There's something about that truck's profile....

In 2004, a local classic radio station acquired this military surplus HUMVEE, painted it, did some basic improvements, and had a $5000. audio system installed. I wanted to win that sooo bad! I did qualify, and we all drew a number on giveaway. The winning number was only two off from my number. Sooo close. Oh, and the winner? Some middle aged housewife type that looked like she didn't have a clue what it was.

That is just soo kewl! It's like a graphic explosion!

I have always wanted the Uncertain-T kit. But no way would I pay the megabuck prices being asked. Besides, look at the T for what it is... a lot of (mostly) flat surfaces. I hope to scratch build a version someday. It wouldn't need to be 100% exact to please me. I have photos of the 1:1, and photos of the kit parts. The trick is to find a cowl, and forming the changing radius of the cabs rear vertical corners. Got to love the challenge, tho.

Nice! Mine was painted, then forgotten. I like your build!

Nice job, Wayne!

Enjoy the ear worm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwcXwAyt40U View at your own risk.

I agree with the above comment. Although I am not bothered by the banner ads, you must admit we are bombarded by ads in our daily lives. The newest, and by far the most ANNOYING (at least to me) has to be the gas stations now installing video advertising right into the gas pumps. Boy, I hate that! CITGO at least has a "mute" button. Cumberland Farms forces us to listen to that idiot Hasselhoff pretending to sing. No "mute" button, either. Also, I often read here a comment that goes something like "Ask Gregg". It's his board. Doesn't he ever read it? So by posting something here, isn't it reasonable to expect Gregg to see it? Just curious.

Looks great!

I will go with "real".

When I was 16, I spent a lot of time with a relative riding around Cape Cod in his '74 Camaro (tho it was a base model) Your awesome build brings back lots of good memories.

Would love to have a kit of the '39 Zephyr...

And yet, the 1:1 body and paint shops keep on sprayin'. There has to be a way. I just don't know if it is financially feasible. How much would a dehumidifier cost? Sears should have them. Also, the 1:1 cars are probably painted with two part catalyzed finishes. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the subject could chime in here. I know it would most likely cost more. Seems like they may be resistant to airborne moisture.

If you read Spotlight long enough, eventually you may actually find something related to model cars. Although the irony of this post is in an off topic thread hasn't eluded me.

That right there justifies an on-line photo hosting site. It won't save your life, or your home, but it can save your photos and prized memories. Your home could burn to the ground, but as long as you have Fotki, Photobucket, Flickr, or whatever host site, you will still have irreplaceable photos.

That is just.... above and beyond awesome! Is the power source in or under the car? 10+ job!

WOWZERS! So nice!

Now that looks better!

Are the front or rear window glass compound curved? And if not, could the glass be cut from thin flat stock, and glued down to shallow mounting lips? Seeing this modification done, makes me want to buy the kit and try my own fix. This may be one of those "It's only plastic" moments.

Glad to hear that there is a plan in the works! That, and that positive attitude, I know you will beat this!

Best '50 Olds I have seen yet!

LoL!

Well, I agree for sure. The Mustang production car made before 1964 was much better looking.
