Where's it going to be located? I'm thinking I might try to swing down there if I can get the work schedule situation figured out.

I have this kit, but I'm a bit reluctant to build it. Love the way yours came out- especially the stance- it's very fitting for a hot rod, but realistic enough for one to imagine it actually used as a shop truck.

If I recall, the " 1971" Sox & Martini 'Cuda was actually a '70 updated with a '71 grille- that was something that various teams did to keep their cars looking current from season to season.

I don't remember which issue (it was fairly recent) but Car and Driver did a small article on that car and spoke with its builder.

The deck lights are there (they're barely visible in the rear 3/4 view). I mocked it up with the Mustang's roof bar, but didn't like it. I'm not sure if it was because I didn't like how the car looked with the lightbar or the way that particular light bar looked on the Buick... still toying with sticking it on there, though.

Love this!

Oh, sweet! If you need reference pics for the interior I might have a few.

Gotta love guys like Eddie... never show their own stuff (and probably aren't even modelers), but think they're God's gift to the hobby and master modelers.

When Nolan was having his people design the new Batmobile, said he wanted it to have elements of the Murcielago, and Bruce Wayne does drive Murcielago in the first two Batman movies he directed (I think it was an Aventador in the one with the silly-voiced Bane), so I think you're right about him having a thing for Lambos. Anyway- I have zero interest in this kit, but I can't wait to see what you do with yours.

I've been saying it for years- if somebody made a full-detail kit of a '99-up Ford Super Duty (even if it was not a diesel), or an '06-up Ram Power Wagon 2500 (not available as a diesel or dually but still...), I'd be first in line to buy two cases of each. All you other "nobodies" out there can get in line behind me.

You'd just have to look at photos of the real car (whichever one you are building a model of), and go from there. Some AMT kits do have painting guides, but not all of them, just so you'll know in the future.

On the contrary- I've got a '98 Crown Vic around here somewhere that's about 1/3 of the way to being an '03 Marauder. And Rob- yeah, that's one I wish they'd kitted as well. Thanks guys!

This started out as a promo- I added the wheels and tires from a Revell Impala police car and the CHP decals and equipment from a Revell '90 Mustang notch and threw together this phantom cop car because I was sort of bored that day... Still thinking of adding the spotlight, and possibly the lightbar from the Mustang as well. Any thoughts?

Are you joking? That's one of the coolest truck models I've seen in a long time.

Ford never had a direct competitor to the '94-66 Impala SS, but I got to wondering one day "what if they had?" So, from me, the king of awful gloss black paint jobs comes this gloss black sedan, built from the Lindberg Ohio Highway Patrol kit, with the wheels and tires from a Revell '62 Impala, a modified grille and exhaust, and a center console from a '66 Galaxie. The name? Well, I guessed if Chevy could blow the dust off the Impala SS moniker for their giant killer, why couldn't Ford have done the same thing with the Galaxie XL name? Oh, the other thing I hate about gloss black models (besides the fact I can't paint them) is how they attract mucho amounts of dust at an alarming rate... you'll see more than a few dust specs in the photos.

A buddy of mine has a '69 Cougar Eliminator. One time a guy said to him "Say, that's a nice Charger... why's it say "Cougar" on the quarter panels?"

Hot Rod doesn't even use a cover date anymore- I see nobody complaining about it being 'on time', or the lack of a cover date. I'm paying less than cover price and having it delivered to my door- so you're not going to hear me gripe. Anyway, I got 180 in the mail on Tuesday in pristine condition, so it's on its way if you subscribe.

Ah... good old Totally Krap Models. Yeah- that most definitely is NOT what you want!

Just an update for those of you following this.... Nothing. No progress to report. None. But I'm "supposed" to be taking it to a show sometime this winter, so who knows...

Great job on depicting a bad day for the driver. Love the smoky fire! I like your first name too.

Yep- they're different vehicles- sort of like the Bronco and Bronco II- they share half a name and a Ford badge but not much else.

Loving this! I've got a long-stalled '41 Willys custom on the to-do pile and I was thinking of chopping it. I'll be keeping a close eye on this for sure!

Wow... this is beyond sweet! Just the Lark or the Chriscraft would have been cool enough on its own, but they look great paired up together.

Haven't bought anything from Ed for a while- looks like I might have to put in a call to him again. Yep, between that interior and the chopped body from MAD, I have no excuse not to pick up one of these kits.

I thought you might have seen the Motor City '41 Plymouth four door body someone mistakenly listed as a '46 Dodge, but after checking it out that must not be the case- The Motor City Plymouth does (obviously) use the AMT '41 Plymouth as a donor, but does not include different grilles, costs much less than $110, and to top it off is a Plymouth.
