Chuck Most

A belated update, as I actuallly did the rear window last night... And, after cobbling up a crossmember, and doing some wiring, assembly, and basic detailing, the 4.0 is in place... Here's where the piston shifter comes into play, and it's mounted in the boot from a Pro Street Super Bee kit (Thanks, Eric!).

Those Lions have traditon! Who else loves seeing them get their trousers pulled down every Thanksgiving? I know it's one of the few pleasures I have on that particular day!

Hold yer horses, Mirage! I've got a really neat application for that Supra mill coming up later on... Don't feel too bad, Rob. The part of the Olds I used was about the only savable part of the kit (though calling what was left of it a 'kit' is quite a stretch). Looked like somebody had used it as a t-ball at some point.

I won't be happy until I see a story on the news about Vick being mauled to death by dogs. THEN he'll be a good man in my book!

BACK AND TO THE LEFT, KEN!!!!!!!!!!!! PS Lions Suck.

I actually thought of using the turbo I-6 from the AMT Supra. Trouble is, the way I have this thing set up, there wouldn't be enough room, lengthwise, to fit it and still wedge in a radiator and grille, and I'm far too lazy to blow the thing back apart and redo it!

Oh, a Ford 460 would roast 'em just fine! I like the 4.0 precisely because it's the last thing you'd expect to see in a hot rod. That and I like to turn the 'Chevy In A Ford' table every so often!

Thanks Dave! I'm really starting to believe as I'm as good as everybody says they think I am. One other item about the 'motivation' thing. Too may people try to force it. If you're not 'feeling it', don't bother. When you try to force motivation or inspiration, you're automatically setting yourself up for failure. Yeah, it might mean less time at the bench, but in the long haul it means the time you DO spend at the bench will be FUN and PRODUCTIVE... the way it should be.

BEHOLD MY NEW SIGNATURE!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Most recent updates- Toying around with a 4.0 V6 and 5-speed from a '93 Ranger... Made up a floorboard, and cut down a seat from a '53 Studebaker to fit... And made up a trunk from a cut-down, junk '63 Olds body...

For me, I just get this psychotic urge to do something, ANYTHING, model-related, and just kind of go with the flow from there. Yeah, sometimes the motivation just isn't there, but I try to build as much as I can, because I'm constantly getting new ideas, and I'm the type of guy who can't rest until I see that idea, at least some of it, as a three-dimensional object.

I'll have some updates on it in the next couple of hours.

I'm seeing it slammed out, on wide whites with lake pipes and skirts. Oh, yeah.

Forgive me if I've said this before, but I must insist... LIONS SUCK!!!!

LIONS SUCK!!!!!

Haven't really decided yet, Rob. I'm kind of starting to like the 'barn find body on a fresh chassis' look I've got going on. Of course, there will be some rust 'streaking' off the cab onto the chassis in spots, and perhaps a little bit of road grime, but I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll go all out on weathering the chassis. It is a VERY distinct possibility at this point, though!

That Chuck Most guy only contributes to Model Cars.

Some guy named John Gum built a model of the JFK hearse (or whatever), look for it on e-Bay with a price of $20,000 any day now!

Some kind of space-time paradox?

Didn't all the MPC kits around '71 include the 'Zinger' style parts? Or was that just the specific themed issue Roger is talking about? I seem to remember seeing a '71 Charger or Challenger kit (don't remember which- it was 14 years ago or so, okay!!!!) which included Zinger-style parts, but it was just a regular annual kit.

I'd love to have an '81-'84 Town Car, or '80-'84 Delta 88 in kit form. I'd love to have my 1:1's of those back, too! I also wish there was an '84-'01 Cherokee, so I could do a model of my '84 Cherokee Pioneer.

Added a bit of detail to the firewall, and some more rust on it and the cowl via Doc O'Brien Weathering Powder. Voltage regulator (AMT '62 Bel Air) with some wires and a loom...

Lions S-U-C-K!!!!

Cut out a firewall, and after a little trimming and test fitting for stance, got it weathered and installed- I used a simplifed version of the 'salt' technique to weather it.
