You just made my day Craig. :lol:

It is also beautifully aged.

I bought one of those from a 7-11 when I was a kid and yeah, it was rubber band powered.

Looks good Andy.

Good one Psycho.

Bought this a couple of months ago and can't stop playing it. If youtube had been around when I was a teenager, I would be a rock star by now.

I like the fake exhaust tips.

Count me in , but I don't post much anymore. Originally from Florida though.

Very well done and nice paint too. I like the way the slicks look as if they have picked up grit from the ground. The one thing that I would fix is the seam in the scoop.

That's a very nice job on a classic kit. I like everything about it!

Let me guess...Yogi Berra?

Everyone sing along now,,, I am Enery the eighth I am, Enery the eighth I am I am.

Only in my dreams .

Ah, so it was AMT that did the shortened Beetle kits. I remember building one with a yellow car on the box. It could also be built as an open rail

My mothers mother had a 58 Plymouth exactly like Christine except it was metallic green and a two tone blue 56 Ford custom four door. She drove but my grandfather did not . My fathers father had a cream colored Lark at one time and used to park it in the nearby creek to wash it. Back then the creek water was crystal clear and free of charge.

Probably to keep them bug eye headlights from getting hit first in a crash. I love 57 Fords, but the headlights always looked wrong to me.

Wow! Perfect combination of colors, drivetrain and wheels. Good worksmanship too.

Very well done! I like it alot.

Revell snap kit? Nice paint job.

Got some plug wires on her and as you can see, I need to touch up the chrome parts. The original mounting hole for the mag will barely be visible with the body on.

Finally got some more work done. I relocated the mag and painted the seat. Also changed the slicks and scuffed the tires. I may do whitewalls on the front too.

If you are meaning the slicks with the molded in wrinkles then Testors liquid cement will work . I used it on my Ice T slicks and then sanded the seam away.

This is going to be great . You are doing a killer job.

What a tragedy . That thing was beautiful. And you don't see too many of them built stock.

I was just thinking how few vehicles I pass on the road that could have a carb under the hood. If I am behind them, I can often tell by the smell of rich exhaust.
