Agreed. Charlie Larkin

Wow, that cleaned up nicely. I don't have a hood, Al, but if I hear of anything up here, I'll try to grab it for you. Charlie Larkin

Silver with the blue interior would be a very attractive car. If a blue top was available, I'd go with that. Otherwise, I think black goes better with silver than white, just my thoughts. Full-size muscle is the theme for Mid-Atlantic NNL? Let me see how time and funds go. I'll have to get down there if I can. Charlie Larkin

I remember in the original room, there were as many as 15-17 people at a time. Dave, is there a cap on this room? Charlie Larkin

When the chat room was here originally several years ago, it was or at least had decent conversation....oh, let's say 4-5 nights a week, and Saturdays were busy. Now...not as much. I'm wondering about a regular chat schedule in an effort to get people in at least once or twice a week. Charlie Larkin

Nice job. Direct photo link below. Charlie Larkin

Might have to grab one; good way to get a Vic and a case at a decent price. Haven't seen one out my way yet, I'll have to try one of the other shops. Charlie Larkin

Don't have any of those around here. I'll see if there's one online. If not, there's always flea-Bay. Charlie Larkin

I do appreciate some modern conveniences... Charlie Larkin

That wood is gorgeous. I'll look forward to seeing this one together, Mike. Charlie Larkin

For all its issues, this kit, built well, cleans up nicely. I'm thinking of doing mine in dark blue for something a little different- the black gets a bit over-played. Very nice job on this, Randy. Charlie Larkin

That looks great. Nice color, and your usual great build quality. Charlie Larkin

Nice job on the engine. Sheet plastic or sprue for the brackets? Charlie Larkin

Beautiful job on that. Charlie Larkin

Egad! At least the plastic looks decent. Question: will the tires survive the Purple Power, or are you planning to replace those as well? Charlie Larkin

Let me know how that works, Tom. If it attacks glue, even better, I have a whole bunch that need some glue removal! Al, I can't wait to see what you do with this, and I know it'll be good. Charlie Larkin

1964 was the last year for the pushbuttons, which were on the left side of the steering wheel. That was to keep them out of the reach of overly-curious children. Interesting point about the police package; I didn't know you could get buckets. Charlie Larkin

Looks good overall; windshield top might be a bit askew as Bill mentioned, but overall, the appearance is excellent. Suggestions for the extra parts. 1. Front bench seat with a column shifter; add the automatic pedals back in as an option, or if someone wants to do a 3-speed, that becomes possible. 2. Want to light a few fires? We really need a good, easily-sourced LA block. With optional 2/4-barrel carbs, a 273 (regular or HyperPak) or a '67-up 318 would be very easily replicated. I would seriously welcome a poly-head 318, as well, as would a very large number of rep-stock builders, who could conceivably buy this kit for either or those alone. The engine should be molded with the option of a manual or automatic. Charlie Larkin

Second. Charlie Larkin

I was more afraid of it flying into objects and breaking stuff. The bird poop is another issue. It appears it actually did depart, so I sat home all day for nothing. Oh well. And, seeing that nobody else did it, I might as well... Charlie Larkin

Cool. Charlie Larkin

Neither of you will hear much argument from me. Charlie Larkin

Dad managed to get a sparrow in the house. We're not sure if it left or not, and I'm a little afraid to leave the house out of fair of what a trapped (or thinks it's trapped) bird might do. Charlie Larkin

Brilliant article and not a single false word in there I could think of off the top of my head. THIS needs to be required reading for every teacher, college professor, school committee, and member of Congress, the several state legislatures, city councils and town board of selectmen. I'm going to see if I can get a .pdf of this for my own references and the occasional class I still teach, and share this on Facebook, where, thankfully, even some of my less-intellectual friends read what I post and think, and actually make some effort to discuss it and learn. It can happen if you lead people to the water, they might drink. Charlie Larkin

Just different enough to be really cool. And very nicely done, too. Charlie Larkin
