I've got one of those kits laying around, and I was planning on doing more or less the same thing with it. Keep us posted!

Huh. Well, then... That one isn't orange enough.

First one done for '13! This one has a Mustang II front suspension (nabbed from a Monogram '37 Ford), wheels and carbs from the Revell Tweedy Pie, and a scratchbuilt finned cylinder head. Started out as the Teague stock car kit.

Bob forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was mad. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !"The next morning when his wife woke up, she looked out the window to find a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale. Bob has not been seen or heard from since last Friday.

I have no idea why, but I've always wanted that car in kit form.

Love it! I think big wheels look perfect on a big car... and Galaxies of this vintage were, indeed, gigantic! I think it comes with age. I've had two of the AMT '68's, and both of the bodies were warped beyond much use.

Who's this Corey guy?

Or could it be something in the air?

Or at the very least paint it orange. I don't think I've ever seen one of these (1:1 or model) painted orange, though there might be a compelling reason or two for that...

Me. Guess I was wrong...

I'm more interested in this version than the Toyota- somehow the mere fact this is the Subaru version makes it seem that much more esoteric to me.

Craziest thing? That Genesis was 20 years old last summer (or will be 20 years old this summer, can't quite remember), and it still works perfectly. Meanwhile, I can't tell you how many PlayStation consoles my brother and cousin burned up just in the first two-year period the PS1 was available.

I'd go that route! I think one of the Revell kits ('55 Chevy?) even has Pontiac valve covers.

That's the 'classic' AMT kit from 1962 or therabouts, not the newer version that came out in the '90's and got reissued in the tin box last year. I'll see if I can come up with some pics, but I know it comes with an optional SCoT-blown W-motor and a '57 Buick grille.

I guess I've become an 'old school' gamer by default- I still have my Sega Genesis, and the last really good game I played was Goldeneye for the N64. Hasn't been much I've cared about since. I'll still play a few of the GTA games just for fun though.

Thanks. I just poked out my eardrums with a screwdriver. STILL hear the song loud and clear.

Wasn't he so scared of that Olds he cut it up and buried it in the desert? This will be cool!

Whenever I see a UFO kit, I wonder "How do they know it's 1:32 scale? Where'd they get the blueprints?"

Really nice! Apparently those open driver compartments weren't too bad in the winter. I've heard that you became so desensitized from the engine noise and vibration you didn't even notice the cold.

That's still his current e-mail. Norm's pretty good about getting back with you quickly whether you use phone, e-mail, or snail mail.

I build them. Otherwise, what's the point in having them?

Same in theory (Econonlines are as common here as Transits are there) but totally different vehciles. A US-version of the current Transit is going to eventually replace the E-Series here, and we already get the smaller Transit Connect.

Wasn't that to protect against air strikes. Because there's no safer place to be under such circumstances than beneath a flimsy wooden desk...
