I think Bill Stillwagon may have used Bobs Sombero caps on this build...

You're evil, Pat.

OK, first a disclaimer- I haven't read the first few pages... just this page. Matt- thank you for posting the 'real' vs 'model' pics. Never noticed it before, but it hit with the comparison... that grille is NOT flat on the 1:1, nor is the top edge on the same plane as the bottom edge. The PL kits loses then and there. Great. Now what to do with the PL kits?

Now that is unique! Great build Ron.

How about a Pacer? I could make a mini fishbowl.

If there is enough money to do any engineering, then lets do it up right. Correct the shallow tubs, thick glass, etc. As for what cars to kit, I would think a sure bet would be any Cadillac. A mid sixtees hearse, or the '61, '63, or '65 coupe.

Javelin and / or AMX, please!

Is Harry hairy?

No. But I once gave a duck a buck.

So we're snarkin' over mental health issues now? Jeez. Instead, I plan on reading other threads on model cars. I will occasionally check back here... for laughs.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Bravo!

Wow. Great ride. Great color. Descrip sounds good. Hope to see this completed!

Not everyone was impressed, apparently. As noted (with strong language; be warned) by "Mazarin" at: http://jalopnik.com/5848213/watch-a-nascar-legend-freak-out-in-an-australian-supercar

Happy Birthday, Bill! Please give us gifts... your latest creations in plastic!

Both pics are from the instruction sheet...

OK, didn't catch that. The kits instruction sheet has a color rendering of the engine, as well as the parts breakdown. Maybe there is a link in the "Kit Reviews"? The engine is very nicely done, as is the entire kit.

Lookin' snarky! The tattered fabric is a great touch.

Nice! Layout and stance! Only thing I wonder about... why the headers on both sides are radically different from each other? Still looks good tho!

Check out my Fotki album for Hudson. I have been saving every pic I can find. Note the pics are arranged alphabetically, as long as I labelled it properly. http://public.fotki....Cole/11-hudson/

OH! You fooled me! You so clever.

Built by- Dave Zinn Bill Read... By Bryce Jamel Lear...

I would like to see a combination of a painting or pencil art, with a model. Such as a scene or landscape and a road, with the car adding a "3-D" effect.

Like Dave said, the Revell die-cast looks good on the shelf. I guess the sides are "slab". I never noticed when I built it.

Back the broken piece with a strip of thin plastic (try a 'FOR SALE' sign) cut to the same width, but sticks out about 1/8 at each end. Be sure to scuff the plastic strip for better adhesion. Now when you attach the broken part back into position, there is more surface to glue, and it will be a little stronger. Good luck!
