Hey... Pro Street Faux Runner!

They are temporary concrete walls used to keep Snookie out of places where she shouldn't be. (Normal society, for instance.)

Welcome back, my good sir.

I'll roll my own drop-top Hudson, thank you!

Ugly with a capital 'Ugh'.

My language. You speak it.

Love the look of the stock body with the 'aired out' stance. Nice!

Just got an order from Ken Kitchen of Kitchen table Resins, and could not be happier. I could have had it a week ago, but Ken said when he tried to cast my engine the first time, he realized the molds were shot. So, he went ahead and made a new mold, and I got my Buick inline 8 today, plus a couple of bonus goodies for the wait. Now, I waited all of fourteen days for my order to arrive, and Ken was apologizing for THAT! Considering the typical wait time for many casters when you buy direct, that's an eyeblink!

Art- wanna part with that? Just send me a list of whoever you want killed...

Bingo! I really don't see the hang ups some people have with what material the body is made from, or what scale it is. Granted, I have my biases and my favorites like anybody else, but MCM does a fantastic job of covering the whole spectrum.

One little nit... did the new kit reviews section get lost in the carpet? Be that as it may, liking one five niner so far, still haven't soaked it in. Might need to combine the truckster cab from the patch panel how to with Jairus' Z'd frame...

Sheesh- all the trouble my F-250 has given me in the five years I've owned it... Rear shackles and mounts for the springs (more chronic rust than outright failure) Starter terminal came loose (a little solder fixed that) Replaced the serpentine belt Now, it needs the radius arm bushings, and the right door speaker is starting to crackle. Other than that, don't regret a thing! I've owned newer GM products with half the miles- never had one treat me as good as my crusty old Ford, though.

Haven't built the Modelhaus '61, but I do like the OOP Promolite 2000 version, which is also based on the Jo Han but whith a different chassis. Can't wait so see this one done- aren't enough '61 Plymouth models out there, IMHO.

No... GM junk doesn't last long enough to have THAT many problems! (And nowhere were worn out radius arm bushings and abnormal front tire wear mentioned, so... )

Reeeley???? So the 300C, Escalade EXT,Concept Camaro and Fast/Furious Import kits must have been RC2's last hurrah.

Interesting indeed! And seriously glad you posted the link- quite a bit more information beyond the 'got scrubbed for Lincoln' part.

Yep, like I said in my last post!

Yep, Danno's reaction is just the kind I was hoping for! (Not sure if he's reacting to yours or mine, or both,though!) Really liked the one you built, Joe- who says you can't do something nuts with a snap together cop car kit?

There used to be a '97-'04 Buick Century in my area that an employee at an animal hospital used as a beater. Flat black paint, red wheels with full Moon discs and wide whites, and Thrush decals on each fender. I thought it would be cool to model it, but for some ODD REASON, there's no kit of a late-model Century. So I used another GM FWD snoozebox... the Impala, this being the Revell police car kit. I used the wide whitewall tire decals from a Revell '37 Ford pickup kit on the Impala kit's no name tires, and the discs are from a Jo Han '59 Rambler kit. I'm not sure if the 'buckskin' interior color is correct for any '00 - '05 Impala, and I'm not too concerned, as it looks okay to me! Of course, the body is all flat black. I found out later the red taillamp piece is actually clear with red paint- stripping it and repainting it accordingly would yeild an accurate taillamp treatment, but I liked the 'all black' look better. I also used a spare aluminum exhaust tip, and hosed the exterior off in Krylon Chalkboard paint, including the inside of the window unit to 'tint' it! This one will be a nice contrast to the 'tuner' version I'm working on. I think!

Thought so. Not even 30 yet and having my senior moments!

So, with 65 parts, I take it this isn't the 1990's era Pro Modeler version...? Or was that kit a Dodge Daytona?

The Lincoln kit has a pretty good rendering of a '62 Merc stock car on one side, but yeah... most of them were kind of mis-match of various cars, like you see in Armor All ads and such. I have thought of building such a model, though!

'05 Impala tuner, anyone?

This just sort of happened one day... It's a mostly box stock ( )Revell kit, and about all I did with it was weather it. I gave it a mis-matched driver's side door and fender (with primer spots on the fender to show where the replacement panel was reworked to match the other side). I added some aluminum carb stacks, and replaced the steering wheel with a '60 Ford piece, only because the kit wheel was damaged by the mold. Not a bad way to spend a couple evenings off work, huh? A bit suprised this is only the second Revell Merc I've built. The next one will be a bit more extreme, I promise!

Might be stealing a few traits off this one for my Matador "Extreme Pro Tourer".
