Chuck Most

Except for Star Wars collectors, I'd have to agree!

Seems that's the way the term is most commonly used, yes.

Those are the ones! The one I'm thinking of is bottom row on the left.

I think I need to build one of these 'workshops' everybody has!

A- Hey, records and cassettes had different stuff on each side, why not? I once saw a 1:1 '40 Ford with modern big-inch billets on one side and 15" steelies and whitewalls on the other, so it's not impossible! B- Yep. Don't recall what issue- but you showed a bunch of different wheel cover treatments on a green Revell Merc... oh, must have been a year, year and a half or so ago.

Not to knock the Dudek Sombreros (which are undeniably cool), how about those Replicas and Miniatures '61 Buick covers?

Chris is right... even though no such vehicle was ever used on Dark Shadows. Apparently somebody at MPC thought it would be a good tie-in anyway.

Not sure on the skirts- if they were a bit longer it would be a definite yes.

That's it. I'm done. Time to find a new hobby. I hear basketweaving is pretty fun...

Good... Chevy????

Back when I was working in a repair shop, a few customer's cars actually did look like that inside.

Model, not Metal, but Aaron's on the mark. I think they did a four-door '49 Ford as well, early versions had incorrect 'sucide' rear doors. That one might have had a metal body, though.

Looking really good so far.

Another benefit to glue then foil- no chance messing up the paint gluing the side spears on once the body is painted.

And that's Navarro as in Barney, not Dave, people. Cool indeed.

This is making me want to build a GSX. Never thought I'd say that!

Well, I usually take a kit, break it down into even more parts, mix it up with parts from other kits and scraps I scrape out of the grease trap in my sink, then assemble all those parts. That's just 'assembly', right?

Wow. I hope things don't get as hairy for you as those pictures show that's for sure. I lived through a flood in central MI back in 1986. I was only four, and my area was not as bad as some, but I do distinctly recall looking out the window and seeing Mom's old Chevy Biscayne with water halfway up the doors.

I know the Ratbulance still isn't done, but I'm kicking around the idea of doing one of these with a Scout II kit-

My only gripe about Norm's stuff is I don't have enough cash to buy ten examples of everything he sells! I really dig his Halibrand wheels-

Like the Chopperhead '51 Buick body? 'Cuz THIS puppy's a real brick o' resin!

I've seen those, didn't know they were from AMT.

Settling on the next piece. Go with a 1950 dash, to match the grille... Or a 1951, to match the model year JF lists the body under... The 'center stack' looks about the same on both years, but I have to say I'm leaning more toward the '51 version. I just think it looks cooler, and it might be a bit easier to scratchbuild.

Thanks, Tonio! QUESTION... I'm thinking of cutting the roof off the '62 and using it on the common-as-dirt '65 convertible body, then possibly having somebody cast it (if there aren't already ten or fifteen such bodies already available), but here's the clincher- I'm thinking of using the '65's quasi-bubbletop station wagon on the '62 body. Thoughts? Yea or nay?

Might need to blow the dust off my '66 C-Series conversion- can't be too many IH trucks and wagons on MCM at once!
