That might be my final grail as well. I just acquired a Toyota 2000 GT from MPC. No tires in it but no big deal.

You know what? Who cares. If you like building models that are super detailed, do it. If you enter them into a contest and they win, so what. Don't worry about the haters. They would hate their own mothers if they didn't bring them down some soup into their basement command centers.

I know a lady who owns a 1:1 version hotrodded with a Pinto engine. Twice as much power as the stock engine. I'd love to have a kit like yours.

They still are. Ever see an Escalade or a H3?

But they did get the contract to build the Jeep trailers.

I don't get why people complain about the fact that kids don't build, so therefore they do not see the need for a snap kit. Kids aren't the only ones that like snappers. My wife who is disabled likes to put them together as she doesn't quite handle glue or paint well.

Just asking...have you mentioned Aussie cars to your Japanese Model maker?

I rarely show models on the forum because my building frequency is rather slow. Maybe now with the kids moved out, I finally have space to dedicate to actual building. But I digress...On a social media site with several model pages, a person posted a rather simple but nice build of a car with flame decals. His post was it was his first attempt at using decals. There were some areas that had creases and did not snuggle the curves of the fenders. I just told him about Micro Set and Micro Sol, and to use them on the decals when he applies his next decals. He did not know about these setting solutions and was very grateful I mentioned them. It was constructive, informative and done with respect and courtesy. Every one else said nice car nice car but had no response to the original mention of decal application. It can be done without causing stress or disrespect.

Plymouth at the end of it's life still had the stylized Mayfair logo.

Subarus had the spares in the engine compartment too. The term girl car is insulting. I'm into the auto scene here in my town and I know a lady who drives a Viper. Granted it's the only Viper made with an automatic in it, but it originally was made for a disabled guy who sold it to my friend. This girl is all of 5 foot tall and drives that powerful car like a boss. Would you call Ashley Force's top fuel dragster a girly car? I think not.

Love the Turkish license tags. Nice touch.

When I was young, I went to live with my grandparents. Before that, my dad and mom had an old 49 Ford Tudor. I remember it had three on the tree and a flat head six. Not even the cool VG flattie. My dad and mom divorced and he kept driving the old 49 til he picked up a 54 Ford Tudor powered by a similar six, but it had a Fordomatic trans in it. I went to live with my grandparents when I stated 3rd grade in 1963. He had a beautiful 1960 LeSabre he bought new, and the neighbor had a 1960 Invicta, both two door hardtops. Gramps' car was metallic silver and the neighbor's car was white. Grandparents only had one car at a time and grandma did not ever drive, though she had a license. In the neighborhood we lived in most people worked for big firms like AO Smith, Briggs & Stratton, Harley, Harnishfaeger, Falk, Allis Chalmers and all the breweries. Some of the families in my neighborhood had two cars and some pretty high end ones at that. Chrysler Imperials, Buicks, Oldsmobiles. One friend whose father was an auto mechanic had two cars, his wife who was a very attractive blonde drove around in a hotrodded 59 Olds convertible. There were the assortment of Fords and Chevys and the odd Pontiac or Olds. One kid had a 56 Olds with a big engine and loud pipes painted a very bright red. Us younger kids used to sit on the curb as he fiddled with the triple carbs and cleaned or replaced plugs.

Oscar Koveleski. Of course, sausage wise, I prefer fresh kielbasa as opposed to smoked.

My dad had one of the Citations after he sold off his Buick Apollo (which I thought was an awesome car with its Buick 350) The Citation lasted and served him well until he got grandfather's 84 Regal. Now, about that weird tire set up...I remember that fad, it lasted all of 6 months around here. I think it was big in Chicago (I lived in Milwaukee 89 miles to the north). This set up was responsible for more broken axles and front suspension bits going bad. I almost bought a nice 70s Opel Manta until I found out that car had that set up in its lifetime. Nope, not gonna deal with suspension issues from some owners lack of automotive taste. That said, I would still buy this kit and build it stock.

Nope, I have a red car and it cost the same to insure as my identical blue car was.

But it does have keyless entry....no door, no lock, therefore keyless entry. Just a wonderful build, Harry.

as an aside, Ralph Nader never owned a car himself.

I don't have pics of mine as of yet, but I can tel you, it's a bit of work to make right. It is a round tail I believe as the kit is quite old. It was first sold by PYRO. The windshield pillars are quite thick. You are going to open the window hole up a bit to make it look right and rescribe the trim lines around the opening. I think the back light (window) is too small as well, but I haven't verified that as yet. The engine assembly is basic. Not a lot of detail, but if you can bring up pics online, you can see that it wouldn't take much to bring that engine around. Tail lights are molded as part of the body, so bare metalling and tail light clear red paint is the order of the day. I would swap out the head lamps for something better from the scrap box. It's a project, but can be made right. Still working on mine.

I had one of those "crappy '' cars from the 80s. It was quick, handled well and was very reliable to boot

I really wanted that kit, Ken.

and I want a Holden Sandman

C'mon over. We'll have ya!

I have a new Beetle in the family. I can fit two Peavey PR10 speakers, aMackie amp/mixer a folding mic stand and three cases of CDs. Patch bag goes into the back seat with speaker stands

Yep, finally get my hands on a Tognotti/Wild Dream double kit and Round 2 releases it. O Well, the kit came from Kelli Khrome and I cherish it immensely.
