On the agenda today...

Nice! I'll be keeping an eye on this, as I literally just started a '57 Ford Gasser project of my own.

Somebody takes their kids' education VERY seriously! Absolutely love the way this one's shaping up.

Love it!

Love the wheels- and the stance! Not a huge fan of red personally, but it looks great on this car.

On these Step Down Hudsons, you pretty much can't- there's an external frame rail that runs right up over the wheel opening, and the upper part of the wheel well is fully enclosed above that.

Nope- you couldn't get a V8 Hudson until 1955 when they switched to the Nash body- IIRC it was a Packard V8. They were working on one, but when they merged with Nash and formed AMC, that went out the window. Hudson was also working on a new inline six... that one eventually did end up being built by Ford as the 240/300.

Glad to hear this one will be getting attention again!

Verifying Casey's post- no stock-type SS stripe decals in the Donk kit.

Just a quick and simple slammer, I used a Jimmy Flintstone body to help in disposing with a parts-donor Monogram '37 Tudor. There is a small block Ford V8 under the hood, but no interior or suspension.

That truck in the photo is most definitely a '30-'31 AA. Would LOVE to have that, along with any of the others mentioned.

The idea here is a mild '70's style street machine. So far, most of the work has revolved around stuffing in a 1970-vintage 426 HEMI mill, and all its related componentry... Note that I've added the firewall to the interior tub, and not to the body the way you should as indicated in the instructions. The reason I did that was to make it easier to attach the firewall supports, as it would have been completely impossible to do once the body was in place with the engine, as the HEMI is so wide. I also added the wiper actuator and horns, because it's easier to add those when the firewall is still a separate part. This will make getting the body onto the chassis (without knocking off the aforementioned firewall components) a bit of a challenge, but not impossible. I hope... Parts donors include... AMT '70 Super Bee Pro Street (Engine and trans, fan shroud, possibly fuel pump- Mickey Thompson valve covers are from Competition Resins and the carbs are from my spares box. I had to switch to a rear-sump oil pan and modify the Hudson's steering in order for it to fit the chassis. ) AMT Baldwin Motion Camaro (Front seats (on scratchbuilt 'tracks) and steering wheel.) Arii Western (?) mag wheels and BF Goodrich Tires The paint will be Duplicolor HEMI Orange, and since the engine will just barely squeak under the hood, I don't plan on running a scoop. The body will be completely stock aside from the decidedly non-stock paint. The next thing will be setting up the chassis and exhaust. Hopefully...

Looks like I may have stand corrected as well- looks like 2005 or 2006 on that box copyright.

Thanks, guys! Yep, that's the kit's 308, but I added my own finned head and some Stromberg carbs with curved stacks from the reissued Revell Tweedy Pie.

Love it! I've always wanted to build a Terlingua Mustang myself.

Last issue was 2007- same box art as the '97 reissue, but with a "Nostalgia Series" oval blurb printed on the box top.

Just a mildly modified build of the Moebius kit, with a slightly distressed paint job which was inspired by a die cast M2 Mercury limo. (Sorry, Jim, since I used semigloss clear, this one is only half shiny. ) For those of you checking the scoreboard, this is the 9th one I've finished.

If the kit isn't out yet, the thread should be moved elsewhere. "General" perhaps. Threads like that can be interesting, but they are not reviews.A review should be a review- maybe with some wild speculation and a little history and personal opinion in there, but a review nevertheless- the whole point of a review is to get a good idea of what you are getting with the product in question. Pictures of the kit contents and/or a built up kit are great, but not absolutely mandatory. A formal structure for each post would be great, but being as cynical as I am, I'm pretty sure nobody would follow it.

New location is 116 N. Washington St., at the former Aldrich Art Supply building.

End result was worth your effort. That's one sharp Mopar.

Just a 'spares box special'- Tamiya RX-7 kit, Monogram Winston Cup 358 ci Ford small block, Testors Aluma Coupe wheels and tires, and so on...

Wow, those '70's Funny Cars looked cool.

But, Lordy... what a lovely mildly restyled Jaguar XKE she is...

That did it!

One of these days if I get really ambitious, I'd like to try modeling this one in 1:25 scale http://www.conceptcarz.com/events/eventVehicle.aspx?carID=16845&eventID=423&catID=2169
