Amazingly clean workmanship! ✔️

It's from the AMT 1961 Mercury. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/mercury/amt-1961-mercury-mo/61mercvert2.html

Thar's really nice Dennis, meticulous as always. I should add that your in-progress shots look better than a lot of the finished work I've seen. ?

Thanks Bill. California recently imposed mandatory solar panels on all new homes. I know someone who was buying a new home and was faced with that "rent or buy" scam. The homebuilder ( I don't know who ) gave them the garbage about having to pay for maintenance/repair if they chose to buy. I'm also expecting Cali to do something like forcing older homes to have solar before they can be sold.

The lovely city I live in wants to increase the sales tax to 10.25%, add a $60 to $100 property tax surcharge, and has hinted at adding 5 cents per gallon to the state gas tax.

Wow, that's ugly

Another "not a car". Guy that built this was my friend for many years. Key word "was". He really thinks this is a great idea. It's VW powered, with all that stuff on it, it's probably not a whole lot faster than a Bug.

I have Windows 10 and hate it. Things just aren't as simple as in prior versions. Plus files (like saved pics) end up duplicated in different locations. I still don't know how to fix that. One thing to be aware of if you want to write documents or do a spread sheet. There is no more Microsoft Works/Word. It's now Office, which is a subscription service. You can purchase it, but it will not be supported. Of course there are options like Google Docs etc, but I was completely accustomed to the writing programs from Microsoft,

I have Lyme disease. It has completely devastated my life. Bambi and her clan frequently visited my parent's back yard.

My favorite Daft Punk cover.

Nice save Snake. I like the blacked out grille. I had completely forgotten that was a "thing" for hot rodded Rivieras in the 60's.

Fantastic looking, great work!

Here is a review and pics from IPMS. It has the bumpers but I can't tell about lights. https://web.ipmsusa3.org/content/vw-rabbit

Great comments too. "The plug wires are out of scale my friend. It doesn't look right" And the reply: "i think its because in the video he has a hemi"

The article said 97 Perentti's were made. Here's were one of them went:

Amazing what kids did when they did not have video games and social media.

If you want to include the longest time "ever" waited, I placed an order with Auto World somewhere around 1973. It took 12 months. Every month they'd send me a letter asking if I wanted to cancel, which I didn't. That's excellent customer service.

It's a computer generated image. Google 'CGI Hot Rod School Bus'. There are pics from the back end that make it more obvious.

I must say it does look like the real (CGI) thing!

Great to see the T-Bird is alive and well, and runs too.

Replicas and Miniatures may have that. Take a look at Craig Stansfield's fotki album: https://public.fotki.com/crstan/replican-and-miniat/

I've gotten so used to seeing them both I'd forgotten how similar they are.

If you've got $25 AUD to spend, the Parts Box has nice straight axle suspensions and a whole bunch of wheels and tires to choose from. https://www.thepartsbox.com/product-category/exterior/suspension/
