Love it! Gonna have to try a Zoku one of these days.

Alrigtie then, I'll play (even though it's still about an hour short of being Friday where I am, but hey, it's Friday SOMEWHERE!!!!) 1915 Ford Model T 1953 Ford F-350 Wrecker 1934 Ford Pickup 1922 Olds Roadster 1932 Chevy Roadster

I'd vote for a mutlipiece bumper!

Yeah... and the fact the engine in it is still an MEL, not the 385 series big block it should have...

And if you look carefully, the grille is either just a tad too tall, or the bumper is up a bit too high- the bottom row of the grille is BEHIND the bumper! At least they got the major body details and the proportions right!

Went and checked my stash- the 'Cruisin' USA' version (1982) still has the mags, and the 1994 'gray' box art versions have the baby moons, as does the Dirt Track reissue. Never set eyes on the Diamond In The Rough version, and my Sisco Sizzler issue is missing all the custom parts. If they reissue this, I'd like to see both the mags and the Moons!

Is there also a Bat Signal? (PleezepleezePLEEEEEEZE say yes....)

Well, she still needs the clearcoat rubbed out in a few spots, but I'll take care of that later, BEFORE I take them out to the shows this summer.

49 years in project hell, finally it's done! I went for a full modern 'slo tourer' big wheels, 4-cam Cobra Mod motor and a few interior upgrades. I shaved all the scripts and some of the trim, and finished it in VHT Burnt Copper with a pearl clear. And a few shots with her little sister, a '69, another original annual kit, though the '69 was complete and untouched when I got it. That one I did as a late '60's/early '70's style custom.

Keep an eye on "Under Glass"...

Was a Shelby at the dealer last summer,none yet this year so far. Not a Roush in sight, though.

And 'ere's the dash, needs a little fine tuning yet, but the basic jist-

Sometime in the '80's the original 5-spoke mags were replaced by the current baby moons (might have been for the '94-ish reissue. The Dirt Track Racecars reissue shows the mags still included, but the kit inside does indeed have the baby moons. Other than molded colors and decals, the kit is largely the same as it's always been. And yes, several parts from the terrible MPC flipnose will work on the 'Trophy Series' AMT kit.

One of the guys who works for Stoddard Classic cars (Cheasaning) is tooling around in a '58 T-Bird droptop- not sure if it's his or one that's for sale. And just this morning I saw a white GT-R in Alma, the second time I've seen it in that hodunk little town.

Yep, they're coming out of the woodwork here in Central MI. Ithaca Chevrolet just recently got their obligatory summer ride on the lot as well-

Could be the paint fumes. These model cements nowadays just ain't what they used to be...

YEAH, RON!!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!! Both gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous. Gives me something to shoot for when I start filling in the blanks to my '60's Connie collection! Decided to take the 'lazy route' with my console, I just nabbed one from a '97 Mustang. While I was at it I lifted both buckets from same, and added a Lincoln star from my parts box- no idea what kit it is from. (Anyone?) Inching ever closer...

Tiny? TINY???? The thing's gigantic! Well, as far as trunk-mounted dorsal fins go! It's quite a prominent part of the design, for sure. And one of my favorite styling bits on the car. http://public.fotki.com/ChuckMost/customs-1/61-plymouth-fury-/zz-002.html

Easy there, Serj!

Oh, fun fact time! Remember the scene in Apollo 13, where Tom Hanks has the model rocket and is explaining to his son how it works? The kit that model was built from came from Dean's.

I did consider that, Charlie. In fact, I've done exactly that on a couple of models (neither of which are done yet ). But I'm thinking of keeping the door panels somewhat smooth, and I'm about 90% certain I'll add speakers to at least the fronts. Once that's figured out I'll proceed from there. Still not sure about how I'll do the center console, and that flat, lifeless package tray needs a little spicing up! On the plus side- no need to order those Modelhaus repop taillamps- I had a spare '65 kit for parts, and the taillamps from that kit fit the '62 bezels perfectly. I was hoping to spray another coat or two of clear on the body today, as the trim is all foiled, but it's too humid. Can't wait until I build my spray booth...

Uh-oh, might owe somebody a royalty check...

What's so bad about not being able to buy semi gloss black? Mix gloss and flat 50/50, and boom- instant semigloss. THE SKY IS NOT FALLING!!!!

I don't see why everybody thinks the Lonestar is ugly. Ever seen a Freightliner Columbia? Or an HME Bullet? Or ANY of the newer Volvo rigs? Now THAT'S ugly!
