  1. Not really much material to work from (I can think of maybe five existing kits) but I still might jump in. After all, I have always wondered what a '69 Cougar might have looked like if it had been available with a Sportsroof. At any rate, I will be looking in even if I don't participate.
  2. Looks good. I have to say I've never had much luck getting the hood to fit on that kit, either.
  3. It probably isn't right, but something being 'right' doesn't seem to matter much these days.
  4. Hey... is that a '66 Nova that WASN'T raided for its chassis?
  5. Meh... everybody knows the only reason Chevy domnates NASCAR is sheer number- half the cars are 'Chevys', the rest is a split of the other three manufacturers.
  6. My only gripe- you listed it as 1:24 but it's really 1:25. Really, must say I love 'em. I've got a couple of these stashed, I can only hope they turn out as nice.
  7. Yeah- if you're looking for oddball Mopar stuff, Ron is the guy to talk to.
  8. Only if we are both suffering from insomnia. I know the feeling- I've been out of work for about four months, timed about perfectly with the release of the Hornet kit, now that I think of it. Maybe it was a sign I had to drop everything and build a couple.
  9. And now, it's up on wheels, and I put the manifolds back on the engine. Yes, the chin spoiler was a snow shovel at one time.
  10. Blew the dust off the Finned Phaeton for the first time in almost a year. Today's efforts-
  11. The were lift off, but had a couple of 'fingers' on them that snapped into grooves in the fenders.
  12. You do know that book was written by militant hippies with an agenda, right?
  13. Fingers crossed. Peel and stick graphics won't stop me buying the kit, I'd just prefer waterslide.
  14. That's the worst thing about Testors enamels in the rattle can- it's like spraying paste.
  15. Maybe, but unless every single one of these kits is to be given away at make and take events, I'd see a pretty fair demand for the waterslide decals.
  16. My guess? Reincarnation!
  17. There are some images of it with the hardtop off, so if the kit ultimately ends up lacking it, no sweat off my back. And if it does end up having a hardtop (or convertible uptop), it'll probably end up in the spares pile as trade fodder.
  18. And if only she'd rammed the iceberg head-on. At least the theory is only the first two compartments would have flooded had it unfolded like that. People would have died, and the bow would have been caved in, but it's likely she'd have made it to New York. Either way, not the greatest maiden voyage.
  19. Know why I'm looking forward to this kit? And the ONLY reason?
  20. There are certain family members I don't let into my home anymore for similar reasons. Pretty sad when it has to happen like that, but you've got to do what's necessary.
  21. Thanks folks. As far as the weathering, I just used the good old salt technique.
  22. Leaning toward Testors Mystic Emerald for the body and wheels, maybe with Lime Ice for the roof, and perhaps under the side trim.
  23. I like to call my buddy's '73 'Vette an 'Overgrown Opel'. Man, he LOVES that.
  24. Oh- right... the engine in a Fiero is right about where the top would be stowed. Forgot that one little detail!
