The Junkman

Yes, its hard to tell anything from a render though I think it might be more likely to be a 3D print than resin. I do like their future projects (esp. the DB4GT) but will wait to see what they offer in 1/24.

I saw them! Was most taken by the GT40 detail under hood. Also the samples of Dale King's work was inspiring. ($81 for gas round trip. Reminds me of living in LA where trips weren't measured by miles but by time).

Eddie, and who else? ☺️

https://nnlwest.org/ I'll be there even though it means a 2 1/2 hr drive (one way). Still.....

Saturday in Healdsburg, CA: the kind of town where really rich guys take their girlfriends/mistresses/wives for the weekend and with 8,000 population it has 5 Michelin starred restaurants. I even have been to one. Anyway there was a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta in Resale Red just parked on the street like it belonged there.

I admit I'm awash in old school thinking but the concept of (and operation of) EV off road vehicles completely befuddles me. Sure the inherent torque figures for EV motors has a great quality on its own but at some point you're going to run out of juice on Hell's Reach Trail in Moab or the Rubicon Trail. Then what? Solar? How many days will that take? Gas powered generator? Kinda defeats the purpose of an EV. I admit my ignorance and I'm sure to be corrected. Local and/or commercial operation, great. Extended trips or spur of the moment, not seeing it.

I could see UK plates "S P K T R" on it.

To paraphrase "Without chemical (enhancement), life itself would be impossible".

Ah, but you neglect to mention that you can write off the $923K on your Federal income tax. California VLF is considered the same as a property tax. Could be a deal maker.....

Two kits with the Michaels 20% coupon. Revell XK-E coupe which will go nicely with the E-Type roadster kit I've had (Aoshima?). Also a Revell Corvette C7.R kit. Hadn't bought any cars in a while, being focused on Eduard Mustang F-6Ds. THERE'S a nice kit if you at all like that sort of thing.

Well, heck. Maybe the aftermarket will see the need.

Fat Brian, Iborg, and Dave Van, check your PM.

Any idea if the RX7/Savanna includes LHD parts? Had an '82 RX7, loved it but it wasn't compatible with 2 adults and a car seat (later 2 car seats).

Got it scanned, check your PM in a bit. Dave Van, did I understand you'd like a copy also?

Regarding the GTX Mustang/Turbo Capri kit bash: I can scan the article and PM it to you. Looking it over, its not a step-by-step as much as "here's things to adjust and look out for".

And to add to the "useless junk pile" the Motorsport Mustang underpinnings are a near drop fit on the Tamiya Turbo Capri kit. Naturally as the original car was a simple re-body of the Group 5 Capri. Just such a build was the subject of an article in the late and much lamented Motor Racing Replica News.

Try here. I don't think you get the exact makers you're looking for but you might get an idea. Example I just tried a near clone of American Racing mags on my Mustang. Giving me a "Hmmmm" moment. https://www.americastire.com/learn/wheel-configurator?storeCode=1342

Got mine yesterday on the Left Coast. I NEVER get mine that close to publication start.

Maserati Levante SUV in dark blue, shopping center parking lot in Windsor, CA just like this one: It does NOT stand out in a crowd.

A Nash-Kelvinator?

Similar experience with our (my wife's, actually) 1982 RX7. 19 mpg highway, 19 mpg city. One of those cars I wish we still had but 2 seats and 3 in the family didn't translate well.

1958 Ford Ranchero white over yellow and sitting in a rancher's field outside of Philo, CA. Haven't seen one of those in well over a month of Sundays.

Then there was early '80's chic. https://blog.consumerguide.com/high-end-haunches-luxury-bustlebacks-1982/ I recall at the time someone noted the resemblance of the bustle back to the classic Rolls Royce design to one of the designers. His response was to the effect that if you're going to steal, steal from the best.

I once GAVE a ticket to a gal in a late '70s Chevy Monte Carlo for doing 77 mph in a 25 mph zone. Very narrow country road with high shoulders and hedges, limited visibility and many blind driveways-think of your classic English country lane transported to California. She said her boyfriend had just finished working on her car and she wanted to test it. He did good work.

What did this BRZ do in a previous life to deserve what has happened to it now? Looks like the owner hoisted a wing and slid a BRZ under it. Seen yesterday in our local Costco parking lot. The driver looked to be 19 yrs old. Don't know if you can tell but those fender flares are attached with self tapping sheet metal screws with neoprene washers. ?
