I can see some of the errors in the design, but I can deal with it and hopefully the next subject out will be better if companies are paying attention to their consumers. I do get the feeling that whenever a test shot is leaked, a lot of the critics are online googling picks of the real car and going over it with a fine toothed comb just to find the flaw. no matter how miniscule...it's like a puzzle to them. Find the mistake, win the internet. Then there is the objective critic who finds the flaw and proposes a method of dealing with it. I don't mean to suggest we say it's good enough, but I think we should make our comments a bit less hateful sounding. Like saying I'm never buying this company's kits ever....but we all know you will. Real cars are not without their problems as well. I remember that the rear bumper on a 60 Buick sagged just a bit on one side. Some restored versions have fixed the issue but I prefer the sag as that is what I remember growing up riding in one....but I digress.

Awesome detail in the old IMC fashion. With care, they are awesome models. The Alpine A210 being the fiddliest. I think with taking time through each build step, they make nice models.

I know Phillipe thru emails back and forth. I'm a big fan of the old Heller / AMT kits. He was missing an important piece in his collection, the double kit featuring the Matra and Brabham open wheel cars sold under the AMT label. I sent him one of my unbuilt minty fresh kits.

Our club recently held an auction of things built and collected buy a beloved member. One close friend of his coordinated the sale to other modellers eventually liquidating the model collection. I think a few final items were auctioned off at meetings. I think this is what I will have done with mine when I leave this mortal coil.

Oh sure Andy. You're the one who got that before I could get my hands on it. Darn! But seriously, nice score.

This sounds like an awesome build.

The only Stutz that is similar was the Renwal Revival 66 kit. Those were closer to the Exner penned proposals than the production car Elvis had.

Clairy Browne & The Bangin' Rackettes....phenomenal group from Melbourne Australia. Retro soul sound. I got to see and meet them in Chicago at the Bottom Lounge. Very nice people.

What are those guitars. I can't tell.

Bankster? Someone injecting political opinion in this history?

Went to Greenfield News & Hobby liquidation sale and got the issue 192 of Model cars and a Revell Magnum station wagon.

I'm emailing my boss right now about this.

Me being 60 years old, I have to say that coil overs actually were used on rods in the late 50s and early 60s, so it is period correct. Jag rear ends wound up under a lot of rods too. A older lady in my car club has a British Ford sedan from the early 60s with a modern Ford Pinto engine in it...twice the power as that old Brit iron lump. Her husband had a Ford Anglia with a 350 Chevy in it.

Besides the over and over operation of the lights and exhaust cutouts, it's cool. Only one thing I'd change....the duallie wheels in the back, sorry that rat rod truck vibe is past it's prime. Other than that, it's a pretty sharp car.

I used to own two caddies. A 73 Eldo rag top and a 78 Sedan DeVille.

Totally awe struck with this build. I've been watching a couple of threads on Britmodeller for builds of this car too.

I'm looking forward to this bunch of models. I've been wanting the 914 even with all it's worts and the hotrod sounds like a fun kit.

Ask yourself this....Does it flow. I mean does the design really look like it fits. Other than that, I say if you think you need to add one more small thing...STOP!!!!

What? I'm not supposed to paint the inside of the engines?

I hear the Porsche 914 is coming out too from Revell

I was awestruck by the quality of the work. I expected some hackneyed body banging, but not so. It was amazing. I was also struck by the beauty of the New Zealand landscape.

The correct term would be hydrocephalus.

He said "even if I DIDN'T Build". not I DON'T.

Interesting find.

Just got the Testor's / Bburago Jaguar metal kit. Kinda lumpy but it was free. Owner of the hobby shop put it on the table where we were hanging out doing builds and said who ever wants it can have it. It was already started with the body primed in grey. No one wanted it so like the sad ugly puppy at the pound, I felt bad for it and took it home.
