Beautiful weather here in the Cleveland area also...yesterday and today have been great, after a very rainy Monday and hot and humid weekend. Went for a stroll along Lake Erie in Lakewood yesterday evening.

The C8 most reminds me of the Ferrari F458/488, as far as the shape and proportions. Different detailing of course, though. I read that GM benchmarked the F458 when developing the C8. The modern Ford GT is rather unique in it's shape amongst mid engine cars with it's cabin that tapers front to rear and has those huge pass through arches connecting the roof to the rear quarters.

They were B-pillars..all the 1:1 Continental sedans of that generation had a thin fixed B-pillar. (as well as window frames that were visible when the windows were rolled up). Oddly, though, some of the AMT '61 kits lacked that detail (mine is missing one). Not sure about the '61 promos, never seen one. the '62-69 sedan annuals all had the B-pillar.

What did you see on the road today?
Rob Hall replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Looks like 3 disguised CT6s and 2 CT5s. Could be V-series, though both the '20 CT6 and CT6-v as well as the CT5 and CT5-v have been publicly shown at auto shows. -

One of the photos I saw somewhere today shows a golf bag w/ clubs in the frunk.

First Moon Landing

Odd they didn't release it in the US for July. Looks like a neat kit. -
Got a Missing Link resin Crew Cab conversion for the Moebius 68-72 Ford F-series. Also got some Rookie Resin GMC parts incl the V6.

The Revell '66 Chevelle wagon chassis would probably work with a bit of massaging.

I remember White Castle drive-ins here in NE Ohio when I was in college....occasionally get the microwaveable frozen sliders.

That will probably be the next wagon issue..

Stooges+1969 = 1954 F-100

I like this song by the Teddybears featuring Iggy Pop on vocals, riding around in a neat old Cadillac.. https://youtu.be/8P09rxVaQAM -
A couple of my favor Way cool... I do miss off the back country drives in my Jeep around the state...so many scenic paved and non-paved routes..

I took my Mustang GT up Pikes Peak in 1997...washboard dirt road...scary on the blind turns. Later took my Jeep up it.

Fun, I never hiked a Fourteener the decade + I lived in Colorado, but drove to the top of Pikes Peak a couple times (when it was dirt road) and drove up the road on Mt Evans a couple times. Beautiful places.

My family 1859 Ohio farmhouse where I grew up (been in my family 51 years) has plaster lathe walls, no sheetrock except for the additions my Dad built 30+ years ago. Hand-blown glass windows, slate roof.. it was built before indoor plumbing. I recall my Dad reworking a lot of wiring when I was a kid. I wouldn't want to tackle modernizing something that old. My current 1967 house is challenging enough.

I can't recall the last time I saw a Vega in person. My brother had a red '74 GT back in the 70s briefly, my Dad had a silver blue '76 notchback for a few years in the late 70s. I have a few of the MPC kits in my stash.

Maybe they will do a Dyon Don reissue of the Firefighter Mustang II, we know that tooling still exists. -
Why isn't there anymore 2d SUV
Rob Hall replied to youpey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I need a bigger garage. I have a 2 car garage, but with my 4dr Grand Cherokee in there, my 2dr '87 Mustang GT won't fit--the doors are too long to open to get out of and leave enough space between it and the wall and the Jeep (so it's stored at my family farm 90 miles away). My sister's tiny 4dr Chevy Trax will fit in if I fold up the mirrors and get very close to one wall, haven't tried fitting in her Cadillac STS. I want to get a late model Challenger, but I'm going to need a wider garage. Next house will be one story (all the stairs in the split level are killing my knees) with more garage space. -
The funny car is a different kit. I posted the pic of the Pro Stock kits over in the Round 2 car thread earlier.
