Just show up dressed as a Klingon or in a Star Fleet uniform.

We don't put chains on our cars in Wisconsin. When I encountered the chain stop outside of Truckee, California. I told the CHP guy I was from Wisconsin and I know how to drive in snow....he wasn't going for it, I had to rent the damned chains.

I built this when I was a kid and I wish I had another one to try again. That is my favorite rod from those days.

Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam, wonderful spam...

I have to comment on the door scribe line. Scribe a line that follows the slant of the targa bar all the way to the rocker panel. Just a straight slanted line, no curve to it.

Of course he's gonna say lose wore weight. Good on ya for not winding up with diabetes. I have it and it ain't no fun. When you try and lose weight, the diabetes medicine will fight you all the way.

I went to see the doctor today for my quarterly check up. We talked of my weight loss progress and in two years (as far back as his computer would go) I lost a whopping 50 pounds. that's a lot of avoirdupois, people. I had the goal to get under 400 (yeah, I'm a fat arse) by this visit and I did. i got to 399. I was 396 last week but Thanksgiving happened.

It seems back in my foggy memory, some resin caster did a Matador NASCAR body. That would be the basis for your four door police car with a bit of work. This guy scratched one from JOHANs Rebel...at least you wouldn't have to modify the tail light panel. http://www.ovaltrackmodels.com/dz16.htm

I just acquired a PYRO version of this car and now I am looking for the Monogram Lincoln to scarf the engine and other bits. I want to try and recarve the detail back into the grille areas. It looks too plain and flat as is. I noticed you re-scribed the door lines at the top to a more straight appearance. I was thinking of boring out the headlight bezels to accept those railroad lights (MV I think).

That's kinda what I showed but I don't know how to make it appear in the forum.

Skylark had the choice of Blue, Maroon, champagne, Dove, Black interiors. Only the Convertible limited choices to Dove and black

Rules? ...and where's your name on your sig?

The kit of the decade is.............................................................................. .............................................. What ever new tooled kit that you thought was THE greatest thing you ever saw and you went out and bought a box load of them. Very subjective thing if you ask me. My choice for KOTD is such a turd, but I was so happy to have it available and it ain't even a new tool.

Barris had nothing to do with that car. You can even see the link in the post by Bluesman Mark that the model kit box has Darryl's signature on it. Everything Barris had that was made into kits had his name emblazoned on the box. The MPC kit refers to no one.

You just have to love a car called a Humber Super Snipe.

And really bad whiskey at that.

Yeah, those might be cool but when I roll in my HHR panel, the chicks leave those guys and come to me. That's how I roll!

Found the red model. It's a Cosma Ray, another Darryl Starbird car, well it's in his museum anyway.

The cars pictured are both Darryl Starbird creations. The one you circled is called the Star Ship. God only knows what that red thing is from eBay.

I think that scoop was the one that was available from a company called CalCustom. (Chrome air cleaners, spark plug wire looms, surfers feet gas pedals, chrome valve covers) They were made of cast metal and were seen on the shelves of Pep Boys back in the day. I say Pep Boys because back then I was living in California and PB was only in Cali back then.

Yes.

yeah, park a Johan Merc beside it and the difference is very obvious.

Wow, awesome. The seats look like the metal from a power supply box. I have some of that at work. Maybe I can "acquire" it.

Very nice car. I like best the under side detailing you did.
