Chuck Most

Very cool! A neighbor had one of the US-Market versions, that one was a junker! If it had looked more like your model, I'd have dug it.

Great job! Certainly could be restored. Looks like most of the rust would buff right out!

What are you not going to get finished this year? Here are a few of mine with no hope... Oh, sure, I've got more, but these are the ones I'm pretty sure I won't be touching anytime soon!

I rather like the 'no sponsors' look- maybe some lone wolf could have run something similar back in the day. Most of these had wild colors and graphics- its actually kind of nice to see one in a kind of 'as delivered' form.

I think you just wrote my new signature line!

Not sure- Revell '55 Chevy hardtop, I think.

Wasn't Vespa the princess in Spaceballs?

Digging every inch of it!

Why? You could just put a rock on the gas and let it go by itself. Same end result... except you don't die at the end! Sounds like a win-win proposition to me.

Make it like the old Trans-Am series- Ford has the Mustang, Chrysler-Fiat-Whathaveyou has the Dodge Challenger, Gov't Motors has the Chevy Camaro... all three of those cars competed against one another in that series, why can't it happen again today? You know what? I'd even let Hyundai's Genesis Coupe and Nissan 370Z in on the act if their manufacturers thought they had the stones to win. THAT would be compelling racing!

Take a cheap-o beater from the classifieds, paint it with Rustoleum and a roller, and use all the money you didn't spend on buying a 'desirable' car for some wheels and an air suspension and slum it up in style! Just a quick, simple 'boredom killer' curbside build- I bought this kit yesterday after work, and had it done before midnight.

Really dig the patina- almost has a kind of camouflage quality to it.

Now... where'd he get that Chevy Astro?

Update- the decals are kind of brittle, alarmingly so compared to the other Round 2 sheets I've used, but seem to lay down well with solvents. The stickers? Forget it...

If you're in the Mt.Pleasant, Michigan area, don't bother with the Meijers there- they've got nada. Unless you like bumper to bumper gridlock and stores crammed full of slow moving and semi-brain-damaged people, that is.

Shhhhhhhh.... it's one of those new OCC 'Cableless' Bikes! Seriously though, this is one very cool model!

That's the most logical definition I've heard so far.

This was an older R&R casting, and by older I mean "decent quality". Still wasn't perfect, so I did what I could with it.

Yes, but usually a small block.

Looks like my old truck, only not as rusty. Very nice!

Even tooling up a body would be far cheaper than an entire kit. I'd love to see AMT use the '53 F-100 as a base for a panel truck. I'm sure many others would too!

Yep.

I noticed that, too- doesn't the kit actually contain a 427 FE? The reissued I've seen all had one.

I'm not sure it meets the mandatory safety regs for ANY year model!

News to me- I had no idea Ken and Chuck Doan were from another galaxy! Maybe that explains why they glow in the dark... David- I'm lovin' the REAVER too!
