Chuck Most

I could never leave Michigan's four beautiful seasons... Winter, Almost Winter, Still Winter, and Road Construction.

Oh, yes, that's Emerald Envy, or whatever thay call it. I'd originally toyed with black/ red interior, but I thought it would look too much like something Tony Soprano's dad would have driven! I dug out my old '66 promo last night... seems that the promo shares quite a few parts with the '69 kit, yet virtually nothing with any of the '65 kits I have. The dash appears to be exactly the same as in the '69 kit as do the stock wheel covers, and the chassis, aside from the lack of screw holes and the thin wire axles instead of the promo's fat, knurled metal rods, appear to be identical. Leads me to wonder if the '69 kit tooling still exists, since it seems totally different from the '65's...? I sure hope so!

How big's your pool?

I've noticed that, too- there are some truly incredible French cars, but the number seems a bit low. Sheesh, GM's Buick division has a few more lovelies in it's family album than does the entire French automobile industry!

Yes... but only on the driver's side! The car was like that when I bought it in 2002- no idea why they never stenciled him onto the other quarter panel! Oh, and Romell... glad to see I'm not the only guy who brings car parts into the house on occasion!

Steve... '61, '62, '63, '64, '67, and '68 are the only ones I'm missing from that body style! (Unless you don't count promos... then I'm short a '66, too! ) Not sure why I've been refering to them as Hurst spokes- maybe because I'd originally considered running Hurst mags on it? Or maybe I'm just a moron. I do have to say, it was weird building this kit, the whole time thinking "Wow- this kit is 13 years older than I am, and it's just been sitting around for 41 years, not being built!" I have to say it's quite a strange feeling!

I've never seen a 'late model' Pocher kit- I'm intrigued!

Always liked seeing this one built up. Nice work!

I like the splatter effect... makes it look less like a Magnum!

Cool!

Yes, this is an original AMT annual kit. And yes, I 'ruined' it by building it. I regret nothing... I think it looks way better like this than it did as a bunch of styrene lumps in a box! It is mostly box stock, aside from the '25 T kit Lincoln valve covers, '65 Lincoln custom exhaust manifolds, the '66 Buick air cleaner, and the Hurst mags from a '66 Mercury kit. I also lowered it by drilling the axle holes higher in the chassis. Wonder if the tooling for this one still exists, in some form? (There are many identical parts with this and the '66 promo I have, but not a lot of similarity with the oft-reissued '65 kit...)

Gimme a couple of days...

I've posted this before, but I finally got around to taking some decent photos of it, so I thought I'd drag it out one more time. It's a 1:25 diecast promo, which I disassembled and weathered.

Haven't seen this one until now, very cool! Now... when are you going to build a Horn Toad?

OH, yeah! Mine's still in pieces!

Knowing how substandard that kit is, parts and detail wise, your completed model is incredible! I'm especially fond of the color- it just pops on that old goat!

I noticed that, as well! My, my... what does THIS icon do? What? This message board will self destruct in three...two... on...

Very nice seeing the "old" AMT kit done up as well as this duo.

No progress on any projects yet, but a few of my 1:1 junkers... My '94 F-250 (That would be my brother's '78 Cutlass parked just to the right of it.) My 310,000 mile daily beater '98 Mercury Tracer, AKA the T-Racer My old junker '67 Fury And the '46 Chevy 1-1/2 ton dumper I got rid of last year-

Love 'em!

Still lovin' that old school grille!

Don't worry, Jim... one of these days, Photobucket's janitor will acidentally park his car on the internet hose, and they'll scramble for hours and hours and hours before they figure out what's wrong! (I think that's what REALLY happened to Fotki... )

Very cool- this is on my 'gotta build this one day' list!

Somewhere, some rich dude is sobbing. Gotta love it!

One of the ugliest cars ever made. And I love it.
