Chuck Most

LOVE seeing Chevy hot rods powered by non-Chevy mills! HUGE improvement over the stocker.

Yeah- I've fallen under the 'long hair' stereotype with the cops, too. Funny, most cops have really cheesy moustaches (is that part of the uniform), and nobody sees those and assumes they're ex-Village People.

I can sort the two kits in question out well enough- but yeah, I've had the same problems myself!

I'll second that, along with Craig's GOOD '70 'Cuda! Sign me up for a GOOD '56 Effie, too. I'd also love to see a WWII era Dodge Power wagon- military or civilian 2 in 1, please.

A local guy had one of these for years- after he parked it, it even served as a local landmark for a while! I believe he ended up selling it to a truck restorer, but I've not heard about what that guy ended up doing with it.

I've never tried Future, but I can vouch for Duplicolor primer sealer, and BIN sealer. Both do a great job preventing ghosting on 2-part putty.

I probably should keep quiet, since I drive a '94 F-250 (regular cab and TWO TONE no less), but here goes... I'd say you're a rather bushy-bearded dude, who, when he isn't wearing overalls, is wearing a tattered flannel shirt and/or a cowboy hat. In your pocket is always a pack of Marlboros or Skoal, and you say 'Ye-Haw' a lot. No, wait, that's me. Man, this sterotype stuff is hard!

Glad to have ya back, Bill! (BTW- I'm Chuck Most. You might not recognize me- I've changed my screen name once and my avatar about seventeen times since we last spoke!)

Yes, it is time for a Round 2 full glue kit! I've had good luck using lacquer paints on vinyl seats and interiors (GS's '56 Beetle, for instance), and haven't had any trouble. Would this work on AMT's vinyl seats, as well?

Hey... you could build the Prius they raced at Bonneville a few years back! One area where an 'allegedly' sticky throttle is a GOOD thing!

Nicely built! A great subject you don't see often enough. I've always wanted to build this one- I just like how the boxy '80-'82 T-Bird looks in race plummmage. I'm even thinking of converting one back to stock, just to mess with people's heads.

Pretty nice for a parts kit, I'd say! Didn't know there was a 1:25 first-gen Z-car. I did fairly well- the following AMT kits- '65 El Camino (WITH the camper!), '77 Ford Courier, '94 GMC Sonoma, '95 Chevy Blazer, '08 Dodge Challenger (yep- finally decided to get one), and an MPC '78 Dodge Monaco. After the last haul, though, I think I'm pretty well set for winter!

Well, hey... we actually DID get the Passionate Poncho verson of the '62 Cat, and given Round 2's penchant for 'modified reissues' of late, I wouldn't be too surprised to see this Olds get the same treatment somewhere down the road. I built this kit when it first came out, and for a wee lad I was quite proud of the result- even though I had no idea the bumper was wrong until now!

Come to think of it- I'd really like a Jag XKR kit!

That's not stereotyping.... it's profiling! I'd have to wonder if the driver had bad hair plugs, sweat pants, and flip flops, too!

I think we NEED a kit of the Bugatti Veyron- anything else (say, an '03-'04 Mercury Marauder, 2010 Taurus SHO, Cadillac XLR, or any of the other ten or twenty post-2000 cars I'd like to see) would just be 'bonus material'. Of course, the one I'd love to see isn't a car at all, it's the current Ford Super Duty pickup, but evidently truck model kits don't sell well, or so I'm told.

I WISH... I'm not sure what kind of wrecker it was, but now that Tom mentions it, the boom does seem a tad long. Maybe it was a pumpkin chunker?

Weird- I used this same body on a model a year or two ago, and used almost the exact same color. Great minds think alike, I guess! Very cool model.

Try repacking a turducken some time. It ain't happenin'!

Well, it's getting pretty close to the end of 2010- I'm pretty sure many of us are NOT getting any projects done by years end! So, let's celebrate the ones that did get finished in this first year of the second decade of the twenty-first century! Here are mine- My Fiat '60's street rod My 392-Hemi powered '32 Chevy Coupe '66 Fairlane '80's style street machine '69 Lincoln Continental (built from an untouched original annual kit, too!) My spares-box-special crawler tractor. The '15 Center Door Model T rat rod This 1:25 Farm engine '38 International Cabover Pickup My '72 F-100 farm truck (now with improved hood badges-not shown) And yeah- Space Oddity just HAD to be in this elite group!

Might be digging out one of my old Monroe Magnum kits for this one- I dig that peeled-back fender and bed full of trash!

I think you did post it earlier... I do remember an Imp with a Catalina interior from your workbench anyway. Great job with this one- it's nice to see one that isn't a bubble top every so often.
