  1. That is IF they don't trace the number on the Batmobiles licence plate first! Loved seeing this one go together, love the end result.
  2. NOT A MODEL CAR!!!! Seriously though, very cool!
  3. Oh, Danno- I do have a very specific warning for you. I know you are tired of General Lees... but I'm warning you, brace yourself to become just as tired of 'Doc Hudson' replicas in the coming months.
  4. Oh don't worry guys- it appears Bill is back, with a vengeance!
  5. The panel deliveries I've built had no warp to the body, but the one coupe I had did. It was pretty minor- it went away once the body was attached to the floor board casting. Not sure how severely yours is warped but just that might fix it. If it is too bad, Galaxie has a great return policy and will send you a replacement if you cannot fix the body you have.
  6. The thing I've noticed about all of the 1:24 bodies out there is this- none are perfect, but to me at least, the issues with them are ones I can either look past or fix easily. The notch I'm planning won't be anywhere near factory stock, and I do have to confess I'm not a stickler for 100% accuracy- IF such a thing exists in any scale model to begin with. ANd besides, which builds to you look back upon more fondly- the ones that fell together so easily you barely remember the build process, or the ones that required a little bit of creative technique and effort on your part? From that perspective, ANY of these transkits look like a lot of fun to me!
  7. Neither have I, which is strange considering my last name. That still won't stop me from buying half a dozen of these.
  8. There's an echo in here? John- love that dash- though I'd wanna be careful parallel parking this thing with that steering wheel.
  9. Okay- I guess I did neglect the earlier Nova/Chevy II. Kit those,then THAT'S IT!
  10. I can accept a few more 57 Chevys or '69 Camaros, even if I'll never buy the kit myself. I do think there are already more than enough Nova kits, though. The '57 and Camaros aren't quite there yet.
  11. Loved the show, and I think this is the first Hunter Monaco I've seen done up in scale. Now, who's going to do the beater '70 Ford he had in the pilot?
  12. I KNOW I have the kit, let me see if it still has the instructions.
  13. Forgot the other two big ones- a tubbed pro streeter, and a custom convertible with a Carson top.
  14. There are two water pumps on a flathead, one in each cylinder bank.
  15. But he is dead. On the inside. Love the body, this will be even more insanely cool than I thought!
  16. Who else is thinking... ""?
  17. Now, I just want to see one of those wild Buick 8's of his built up! I'd like to see how it compares to the Kitchen Table kit (which I have and love).
  18. I think that all hobby vendors should steal a page or two from Steve. His prompt service and professionalism combined with his extensive kit and product line always keeps me coming back. I'd wholeheartedly reccomend STAR Models to anyone.
  19. Can't say I'm as stoked to see this one as the Hudson, but I guarantee I'll be picking up more than a few of these kits as well.
  20. Once I figure out how much the top is chopped, I plan to section at least that amount out of the body, run the fadeaway fender panels, and make up my own fender skirts. But that won't be until AFTER I've chopped up a couple of Hudsons!
  21. 1- Full blown '50's style lead sled 2-Modern Style, big wheel airbagged custom. 3- Beater 4- Phatom pickup styled after a '48 factory prototype 5- Phantom 2-door woody wagon 6- Hollywood Hardtop with Motor City body 7- '48 Four door sedan using R&R body 8- Solid axle, 'gasser' style street freak 9- Six or seven pages worth of others...
  22. Nice. Looks like the tire/stance issues from the 'smaller' Revell 'Stangs aren't such an issue here.
  23. Rendunant feature- one filler neck rusts out or collapses, just use the auxillary filler.
