  1. Insane as usual John... Bob
  2. Then there's the legit article in Muscle Car Review about the 1970 SS Chevelle with 37 miles on it. All verified by the 3 or 4 previous owners. If there was a car to fake with such milage I would suggest a 1970 SS Chevelle with a big block is that car. While a Pacer is without a doubt a cool little car, and it's American, there are other cars out there with far more appeal. At least to me. Bob
  3. This story seem legit. I bought a 88 Dodge Omni with 4,300 original miles on it in 2001. The lady had passed [97 yo] and her son didn't want the car. Still smelled brand new inside and ran like a swiss watch. The guy who has it now enters it into shows and wins stuff with it. I'm not sure what he wins but the car is in PERFECT shape. Bob

  22. This is going very well indeed gents. As a middle of the road builder I'm always sniping things from those here I admire. Be it a small item that needs work on my own builds, to tutorials about things that make me think "Wow, why didn't I think of that?" I've grown as a modeler from being here and exchanging ideas. I've never really received any harsh words about my builds but perhaps those that had something to say decided not to. And that's not always right. Say what you gotta say about my work, I can take it. It's a piece of plastic, not my progeny or some other creation I truly have deep feelings about. As a musician who writes music I've grown a thick skin due to such matters. In music, "Art" is very subjective. Not completely unlike what we do with plastic. I think it comes down to an emotional response when "higher" art is criticized. Music, painting, sculpting et all fall in this catagory, and it's difficult to remain objective when such things touch chords that perhaps this hobby does not. And not that this hobby cannot touch chords. I have witnessed it firsthand here on many occasions, I think that my main thrust here is that the dialog is open, no one's panties are getting put into a twist. And there are thoughtful comments all around. I see things in almost every build I have ever seen here that could probably be improved, certainly mine included. So what does a poster do? I comment when I feel the subject is worthy, keep my hands OFF the keyboard if I feel something is just plain unattactive. And give thoughtful praise to those I see improving over time. We all have a right to our opines, it's how we voice them that makes the difference to those who receive our words. The dialog continues. Bob
  23. So nice......... I'm getting cramps from writing all these Kudos today. Outstanding build here bro. That Ga clay is an exceptionally nice touch. Slinking back to the bench. Bob
