Revell's going to make a fortune off of me on those Oldsmobiles! Scott, does this gentleman take orders off or eBay? Charlie Larkin

Nice shade of blue and a nice build. Nice to see a 'Vette in something besides red or black. Charlie Larkin

Not quite a stock color, but that does look really nice on it. I always thought the 1968-69 Skylark had a real dash of flair to it that the 1970-72 models lost big-time. Great looking model of a great-looking car. Charlie Larkin

I tend to agree with Dale; Elon Musk is a resourceful man with a lot of resources. I think once the Tesla's teething problems are solved, and they can afford to move down-market, the cars will be a force to be reckoned with. Somewhere on TV, I saw a tour of the Tesla factory. Quite impressive. Charlie Larkin

This is great incentive to finish up the '64 Hardtop I've been poking at, if I can get everything to actually clean up so I can get it done. Looks great, Al. Charlie Larkin

Nice work on the engines. The rest of the conversion is nicely-done, too. Charlie Larkin

I generally can get mine for about $7 at CarQuest stores. Charlie Larkin

Shane, even without adjusting the wheelbase, you did a very credible job on that. I would suggest adding some door-handles. The Revell mid-60s A-bodies (1965 Chevelle, '66 ElCam, Chevelle, GTO) have nice separately-molded ones, and the '66 Chevelle is a wagon, so you'd have four of them. If you ever decide to try it again with the wheelbase strecth, you've already demonstrated that you can do a very credible job with this, and I'll look forward to seeing that if you give it a go. Charlie Larkin

I need to get moving on my hardtop. This is REALLY beautiful! I think that first-generation Toronado was one of the best-looking cars GM ever made. Gee, Al, I wish I knew you were going to LIARS, I would've introduced myself, although I got there very late because of a bad accident. It would've been nice to say hello. Perhaps we'll catch each other at NNL if you make it. Charlie Larkin

How much inducement would it take for you to do so?? Seriously, I like the 1960 Mercury- nice-looking car. That's one I'd buy a few of, especially if 3-4 different body styles were offered. Charlie Larkin

Good to know. We're thinking of getting a new(er) car for my mother, and Dad and I have been seriously considering one of these vintage Sedan DeVilles. They still look enough like a Cadillac to her that she'll drive it. Charlie Larkin

That could be a double-edged sword, though. To me, not just the brand-name should be memorable, but the product must be memorable. If I were a marketing manager, I'd want not only my make, but my individual products, to leave indelible impressions in the minds of the buying public. Charlie Larkin

I wonder if I could get a camera, model cars and trains and a book or two? Charlie Larkin

The same to you and your family, Rich. Charlie Larkin

Don't you mean "fowl"? Charlie Larkin

That does not sound promising? What happened?

It's nice to see a Chevette going together. Charlie Larkin

I know people like that. Charlie Larkin

We had our little bit of snow in central Mass. Saturday night. It was a heavy dusting (about half an inch), but the roads were a little slick in a couple of places. Sunday and yesterday were cold, I haven't ventured outside today because I have a cold. Tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be rainy. Friday, I'm not sure, but as long as I have reasonably clear sailing for my 20th high school reunion Friday night, I'm happy. Charlie Larkin

For those with the unenviable task of preparing dinner for a bunch of fussy-eaters/food-allergics.... Charlie Larkin

Y'know, now that you mention it.... Bares more than a passing resemblance to a younger Jean Stapleton, too. Charlie Larkin

I like the lighting and shadow effects. Very nice, Wayne. Charlie Larkin

That came out nicely. I might go grab one of those kits. Charlie Larkin

Very cool, Dan. Charlie Larkin

Those basic skills are so essential to life, and they no longer teach them. The abandonment of practical education and real teaching is why I can't do it anymore, and am moving on to other things. Tom, that station came out beautifully. Definitely something to be very proud of. Charlie Larkin
