'91 SHO.... Bullitt edition. All it needs now are some five-spokes. Off topic tip- if you own a '94-up F-Series or full size Bronc and want to model it, you can use the steering wheel from an AMT '91-up SHO. Not sure if they are the same wheel in 1:1, but in 1:25 it looks like the F-series airbag wheel. ALL the AMT kits have the '92/3 non-airbag wheel.

Right now just frost- never did get around to taking the Bullit out of the case and photographing it. Maybe today... Not much to write home about- just threw it together one weekend, didn't fix the ride height or anything- just kinda banged it together and called it a day. Kind of an emotional thing I guess... I came pretty close to buying an '08 Bullitt when the cars were new but (insert long boring story here) ended up not buying one and was elated when Revell kitted it.

Does look a bit light, although the workbench area looks pretty brightly lit. Were you using a flash when you took the photo? That could make the color appear even lighter in photos.

DO IT.

No- that's how the names came about. You have not been mislead as far as that goes!

Trees are for outdoors, and I already have porch lights... I'm ready to build somethin'!

Yeah, it's a Hemi- early style Chrysler. They probably dodged (ha ha) calling it a Hemi for trademark reasons.

OP said new/re-released kits for 2011- the 1:12 Mustang is a new for 2011 release. Mine are- 1. Moebius '53 Hudson Hornet- new release (If I could I'd list that as the first ten entries, THEN do the other ones....) 2. Revell '10 Mustang GT Coupe - new release 3. AMT '62 Ford Thunderbird - modified reissue 4. Revell '97 Ford F-150 Supercab Flareside - reissue 5. Moebius International Lonestar- new release 6. Monogram '58 Thunderbird - reissue 7. AMT White Road Boss (more because of the subject matter than the kit) reissue 8. Revell '48 Ford Coupe- new release 9. Lindberg Dodge Charger Police Car- modified reissue 10. Model King/Revell '50 Austin- reissue... and there's a chance that one might have come out in 2010... feel free to call me out on that one if I'm wrong. Best part is 2012 is looking even better!

There is already a pretty well known vehicle with airless tires... http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/image/as15_88_11901.jpg

I try not to worry about it much. I just figure if Chip Foose can rebuild a car bumper to bumper, rubber to roof in six days, I should be able to do the same in 1:25 in a similar time frame. Oddly... doesn't seem to always work that way.

I'll be keeping an eye on that either way- I've got lowering the nose on the '06-style kits down pat, but I hear a bit more trimming and grinding is needed to perform this on the '10 kit. Bringing the rear end down seems pretty straightforward, I'm still kind of 'eyeballing' things up front to see how to make it workable.

Once again regarding his work schedule- Al doesn't update his site every time he has a new offering. It will be on there eventually- you might see the actual parts out and about before you see the pics on the site in some cases.

They were 100 years ago.

I also have a '79 Flareside shorty 2wd built from the Model King reissue- don't have any pics though. But here are a few of mine-

'34 Ford RPU

'40 Willys '61 Plymouth Fury '57 Chevy Flatbed Beater '46 IH Pickup '63 VW

The Hummer Apocalypse Rat Rod- the first post-Apocalyptic model I have finished. '32 Ford Coupe, powered and 'nosed' by Hudson. '53 Ford Hardtop Custom '49 Merc Beater '62 Lincoln Continental

It happens- don't worry about it!

I don't see a '39 Chevy... I do see a '37 Ford. That, and she might just be a litte too nice for the junkyard. Looks like a great resto project to me!

Yes- I do! This also uses the front clip/engine/and rollers from the '79 Pro Street Super Bee kit, and I built this one before the lowered one above- The front fenderwells are cut out completely on this one.

I like it- but I'd like it even more if it had the '39 Standard front end!

Sounds a little bit like the idea behind that MkVII I've got going on the Fox community build. (Which, by the way, looks exactly as it did the last time anybody saw it. ) Can't wait to see what you have in store for it! Talked about my '08 Bullitt earlier- if the snow isn't too deep this morning, maybe I'll venture outside and snap some decent pics of it.

Yes. Can't say I'm a dune buggy fanatic, but I do like the Manx, and ANYTHING related to a VW Beetle is fantastic with me. Bet on me buying a couple.

Welcome aboard. Need more Michiganites here! (Note- Michiganian and Michigander are both wrong. )

My '08 Bullet has SEM Dark Highland Green (had a can of it mixed up at the local Car Quest) and it was applied over black Duplicolor primer- the resulting shade looks very close to the 1:1... I'm not sure if they used black or dark gray primer on the 1:1 though.
