What a classic... Well done laddy

What a savage color! Wowsers!

I would love to take a nicely prepped Corvair through a mountain pass. I have skills when it comes to taking a car and pedaling it in anger. I'm certainly no Senna, but capable. I've been a passenger once and it was enjoyable at parade speeds. A more spirited drive has so far eluded me. But Nader felt it his duty to somehow save Americans from what was in his mind a dangerous vehicle. There have been recent examples of people taking on causes for the sake of others..if only I could remember the names. It usually ends up in a bad place. And the reason? It gets lost in the interim.

So it's been a while. What brought this drought about. n the first place. I am certain those kits sold well for Revell.

It seems today is no different from some 60 years ago. People who know nothing to very little on a subject speaking as though they were an authority on it. What is worse is those that listen and agree while facts and figures are never far away. It's almost as if Dunning Krueger were transferable or catching through the Internet. Now there's a security issue McAfee needs to work on.

Ralph Nader is an...... You fill in the rest.

Thank you Dave. Yes, he will be back in Sept. If the car sat this long, another few weeks will be a walk in the park. Thanks again brother.

Smokey is/was a fascinating man. Engineer-provocateur all in one. And his genius in dealing with a rulebook is without peer. There are several YouTube vids covering his life. They're all pretty good.

I've always wanted to do the Backup Pickup. I saw it run when I was just a wee lad. Saw Michigan Madman on his V8 bike run also. What a time for drag racing. Never saw this one run. You made her proud.

I hate paint bummers like the next guy. As a consolation they both rock...

Very well done.

What a great looking car. I've always liked that scheme. Nailed it! I like it so much I commented twice....

I looked and only found the 7/11 car. Perhaps discontinued? And, I saw all the Monogram Mustangs there. Very impressive line they have.

Thank you very much brother. Indycals it is.

Seriously nice weathering here. Master grade stuff. Well done Sir.

Talk about a time machine! I can hear the Pointer Sisters singing Jump as I type this. Those seats scream Miami Vice. Well played Sir.

I would claim victory, and I suspect you did. Talk about silk purse from a sow's ear! Stunning

This has sat in the box for 2+ decades. Those decals were as clear an an azure sky when I put it away. When I found it (I was looking for something else) I knew it only needed a few things to finish and was so stoked to get to it. Yellow fever has hit. I need a decal set now. Anyone know if it available?

AMT Apache 1960 pickup. Never built a 63 before.

I don't know ya here but welcome back. Looking forward to seeing some styrene. Fight every day...

None more black. My fave Bird

Looks ready to pounce.

Other than the induction, the Tarantula engine is a winner.

I put builds away in various stages all the time. I break one out, work on it for a while, then return it to the shelf. This got me thinking a long time ago. Take or make notes. Mostly it's paint by brand and color. Forgetting what you used when you have say gold by 4 or 5 manufacturers, and for the life of you remembering is just not gonna happen. Then notes are a must . I can see my progress building, but paint?

At least we can now confirm where the VW Thing came from. VW clearly copied it. Unless the Thing came first. Odd thing this. Well done.
