    Yea, the 49 Merc would look good as a wheel-less flying car..so would the Nash or Hudson from around '50 when they had the really low wheelwell openings...

    I got to see a few cars from this era of F1 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Ca a couple weeks ago..they went out for a vintage race the morning of the Indy Car race. They are pretty incredible to see up close in person, and the sound when they fire up...incredible. Took a few pics w/ my cell phone, incl. Lotus 77 Ferrari Wolf

    Sharp build...I love the cars of that era.

    Cool idea! Love that movie.

    Didn't get anything today, but saw the Revell Hemi Dart in one of my LHSes. I have 3 that I'd preordered from OLDs that I should get week.

    About the only time I ever see muscle cars IRL is at car shows. In the daily 50 mile round trip freeway grind I see many Priuses and a lot of FWD generics--Corollas, Camrys, Civics, Versas, Accords, Altimas... the occasional Cobalt, Malibu, lots of SUVs and trucks. I don't like small FWD cars IRL, but in scale, they add flavor. I'll probably get the Prius kit, it would be fun to have...I like having a diverse collection of kits.

    Like I said, I wasn't singleing any particular ebay seller out. But regarding your auctions text, you may want to consider using one font, one font size, and one color. Having 20 different colors, fonts, and sizes makes your auction text very difficult to read.

    Wasn't his name on some AMT kits of the mid to late '60s in regard to the custom parts? Or maybe I'm thinking of Larry Bradley.

    Looking great...love that color...that color has a Hot Wheels Spectraflame vibe to it....all it needs are redline tires and a rake to the stance to remind me of a vintage HW Camaro.

    Sweet...I like those old Jeeps. I looked at buying a '91 Grand Wagoneer back in '99..(had an '88 Bronco II then)..looked at 4Runners, mid '90s full size Broncos, and Land Rover Defenders...ended up buying an '00 Grand Cherokee which I still have as my daily driver.

    Speaking of buying resin on ebay, one thing I've noticed is the best sellers of resin products on ebay have the products that are in the photos ready to ship. I bid on something or buy it now, win, pay, and get the item within a week. Not to point fingers at any particular resin caster, but one should not post items for sale on ebay if they are not ready to ship. Waiting weeks to get an ebay item is wrong, IMO.

    Beautiful build. I'd love to see that kit reissued. I have an unbuilt AMT Lotus kit to build eventually, would like this one to go with it.

    A little white box of Modelhaus resto parts came today, w/ some parts for '60s-70s Johan kits.
  14. Rob Hall
    Those turned out nice..I've got ideas for at least 3 of the kits, incl. a stock GTS using the steelies and dog dish hubcaps from the '68 Charger.

    My LHS got all of these in today, I picked up a ZR-1...alas, I was too late to get one of the Darts. But I have 2 on preorder w/ my favorite online vendor.

    Got some Missing Link '69-74 Plymouth hubcaps from ebay yesterday and today picked up the new Revell Corvette ZR-1 at the LHS. Looks pretty sweet. Alas, the Hemi Darts were gone by the time I got there (this shop is in the RPP program).
  17. Rob Hall
    I see no pics. Maybe you can post them on your website.
  18. Rob Hall
    Yes, pretty straight forward to do from the Revell or AMT kits. I cut the roof off one of my Revell kits. Haven't started to craft a boot or rear interior trim panels yet, though.
  19. Rob Hall
    Cool idea...I love your plan for the engine.

    I think maybe one of those metal thumb caps sewers use could be useful when exactoing.
  21. Rob Hall
    I still have a faint scar on my right thumb from an exacto knife incident from 25 years ago when I was 15...I remember it bled and bled, I kept screaming for my Mom to call 911 and that I had cut my aorta. Well, not exactly..the bleeding eventually stopped..didn't need stitches.
