For those less adventurous, Modelhaus sells a '61 Starliner transkit that uses the AMT '60 as a donor. My own '61 project hasn't progressed much since 2009.

I'll be 'disposing' of an AMT 'American Hot Rod' '97 Mustang GT for my project. Hopefully pics will follow soon.

Well... that does seem appropriate, given the subject matter.

Many do... but many more seem to mourn the Camaro that got t-boned.

Wifi router, with a battery. Supposedly it's good on just the battery for five hours. I just dug out a kit to work on- I think THAT'S why the power went out.

Funny you say that... my power just went out, but here I am. Yay batteries! It's almost bedtime, anyway.

Looks good with fenders and those wheels. Appearance wise it's beat a Nailhead, too.

Palmer did another Challenger, too- it had a multipiece body and was motorized. "Big Drag" or some name like that. Like it's been said- the body is okay in this kit- I've got one somewhere on an AMT Yankee Challenge floorpan. That would be the best way to really make something of this kit- the chassis it comes with is too narrow, and lacks detail.

What I don't understand... you PAY for cable (or satellite), so why do so many channels still run advertising? Might be why I usually watch DVDs a lot these days.

Like what? A Cornonet or a Dart? Then people would be griping about all the Coronets and Darts that got destroyed... I really think those Chargers gave their lives for a good cause- other than the 500 and Daytona versions, was the '69 Charger ever really known for anything? After DOH, it was pretty much guaranteed the '69 Charger would be remembered forever, even by people who are not muscle car enthusiasts, or Mopar guys. Besides, when the show started out, they were just used Dodges- was there any outrage about it at the time.

Really, cars from ANY given period tend to resemble each other. Look at a Model T... then look at its competition. They all looked pretty much alike. Same as today, more or less. There are always exceptions, of course, but when somebody adopts styling/engineering/packaging that works, sooner or later the competition is going to follow suit.

I'm wondering the same thing about bull skulls, actually. The new Deluxe Batmobile kit comes with an optional turbine- you could probably find an aircraft kit with a usable unit too.

Very cool. Always something I liked about these little Renaults. I actually have a set of wheels off a 1:1 Dauphine... don't ask how I aquired them.

Ya call THAT a warp?

I'm thinking my creation will lean toward these two, appearance-wise...

I like having internet, but you can keep your bluetooth headsets, GPS systems, and those stupid 'Kindle' things. If all this internet stuff came crashing down tomorrow, it would suck for a week or so, but I could go back to the way things 'used to be'. Hey- I've finished models and worked on 1:1 vehicles with a camp lanterns during power failures. Not having technology wouldn't exactly kill me.

Sounds about right.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... Depends on how you define 'better' I suppose.

That's probably just as well- from what I was told (by people with much more knowledge about such things) that the Mac's standard OS is like Swiss cheese as far as security holes go, actually even worse than Windows.

Cool! I was actually thinking of working a Gremlin into this somehow...

I tried out just over a dozen different machines before I bought my Vaio (And I don't mean fiddled with them for ten minutes at the store- I borrowed machines from friends and relatives and actually USED the things, including Apples, eMachines, Sonys, Dells, etc.) and I still don't see what you are paying for with a Mac aside from a styish case and the oh-so-trendy Apple brand name.

Not as cool as the AMC-logo pants some of the race team guys had!

That had no stock tires (it might have had the stock wheel covers and inner wheels- NOT sure). It did have all stock and custom parts, it just had some really poorly done big-inch wheels included.

Yep, you're right! I knew I was in the ballpark, anyway.

His prices are great, quality is good (though as some have said, not up to Modelhaus/Promolite standards), and he ships quickly when you buy direct. I've bought tons of JF stuff, and the only letdown was a '62 Pontiac 'bubbletop' body that appeared to be a bit shrunken.
