Love seeing non-SS, non-V8 Novas. Especially in scale!

One more update for the evening... don't you love fast-dry paints? Here's the first test fit of the cab on the 'rolling chassis'. I'll have to play around with the stance a bit yet, but this is the basic look so far. I used the Orange Blossom kit's drag link, and some unknown plated hairpins. I'll cover up those big ugly slots in the backing plates with some scoops.

Good gawd! What did they do to that thing?

With the correct tunneled backlight, no less! Though I think I'd rather start with the Revell kit. One of these days I'd like to do a General Lee using the Revell kit as a base.

I approve this model!!!!

A bit more progress! I went with the unknown Ford axle, and added a spring from a Revell '41 Willys. I'll have to dig out a drag link and some radius rods, but that's the gist. I cobbled up the frame from Plastruct, and an AMT '29 Model A tranny crossmember.

$40,000 sounds more like it! Throw in a 427 Cammer and I'll give you another $500 on top of that.

"Falcon" and " 'only' $70,000". Wow. You don't often see those words in the same sentence!

DARN!

I don't know if I'd buy an '11 Charger kit, but I know lots of people would. I'm still not a fan of the late model Chargers (not because of the door count), but the newest version is at least an improvment over last year's model stying-wise.

The whole thing about the (real or alleged) JFK ambulance is one of the reasons I don't get into Barrett Jackson. It's like the 'Jersey Shore' of the collector car hobby! For me at least, not even Steve Magnante can save it now.

Bradley James?

Did a little weathering on the cab earlier today- Added the Miller beer logos cuz, well, intoxication is a HUGE influence on most of my models!

Skip- I agree with you! The difference between us is this- I never had any respect for Barrett-Jackson to begin with!

Oh, yeah, I've tossed around the 'Vista Van' idea a time or two myself!

Not a fan of Bumblebee or the new Camaro, but i have to confess, I do dig the model! Looks like your son has a bright future in this hobby.

I hear ya- cutting up the body is a project's death sentence. First thing I'd have tried was cutting the body down to the shorter wheelbase of the 1:1. Glad to see you aren't taking that jaded path, and choosing the path of progress instead!

The curve on the back windows to these is oh-so-subtle- just trim it right and it'll conform to the curve just fine.

Did a little hacking on the Chevy cab, just to see...

Sheesh- gas was $1.49 (what seems like) not too long ago! I'm gettin' into geezerdom...

Shopping, shopping, shopping around for cabs... Will it be the '40 Willys cab (white)? Or the '37 Chevy cab (orange)? Will it be some weird mish-mash of both, or willl it be neither?

I dig it. Kind of like a 'demolition donk'! Welcome aboard- hope to see more of your stuff here!

Hmmmm.... It's Lycoming V8 from a Cord, and... it's front drive?

C'mon, Steve! I meant it in an endearing, loving kind of way! They don't look too bad in burgundy, by the way. And Steve's model proves it builds up nicely.

The Mexican Ramcharger also used the Caravan roof skin and liftgate- yeah- that one's on my list, too! Mark- I'm pretty sure I'd mess something up. My hand isn't quite as steady as I wish it was.
