Note that they were showing all of the security they used in the design department. I'm sure the Futura and the other examples were used because they no longer held any secrets.

The clay model they are working on in your video is called Astreon in the film, I cant find anything on it, but the Si-Fi name and the 61 T-Bird type front bumper would date it at about the time of the 59 movie and repaint.

Funny that that video was posted by the site I linked to ! Go back and watch it again, the artwork the designers are working on is obviously from the early 60's, not the 50's. I'll bet this film was made about the same time as the movie. Unfortunately the copyright dates were cropped.

The car was built an Ice blue pearl, and repainted red in the late 50's at the Barris Kustom shop for the movie "It Started With a Kiss". http://www.1966batmobile.com/background2.htm

Thanks Niko, I've been working with resin for decades but in this project I need to actually create body sections, not just glue them together.

Plenty of unbuilts waiting, only planning on buying the Revell 57 Ford wagon and the 1910 model T turing car.

It's cold and windy outside.

I've built a lot of resin but I've never got into a huge amount of bodywork like this before. I have a R&R '50 Plymouth body that I want to build a model of the Ramchargers High and Mighty drag racer, and I've found the body is WAY wrong. It is going to need both widened and stretched and the belt raised before it gets chopped. Is epoxy my best bet? Any ideas or suggestions?

I can see severial coming my way.

Pretty much what I have in mind.

Theres your two choices, the AMT does have the 6 bbl. intake and carbs.

Junkman, Round 2 is reissuing everything they can, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I feel your pain.

Dito on the Monogram kit.

Every time this subject comes up I'm amazed how many people don't know the difference between a muscle car (factory built high performance car) and a street machine ( home built high performance car).

Very nice.

None of the 1:1 SS 396 SS's did after they were about 6 months old.

Back when I was a kid a friend of my fathers built a V8'Vair with a 427 in the back, I built a model of it the best I could at that time. And yes, I used the "Vair tranaxle. I'm going to try another one now.

Remember this, the model companys don't make one thing that anyone HAS to have, when they get so bad that no one wants them the market will be gone.

I bought a flat hood for my '71 pace car build from Time Machine Resin, I think he has the Twin Scoop hood too. Ops, mine are 1/25 for the AMT kit, I just read you want the 1/24 parts. Sorry.

It ain't snowi'n.

I'm 60 and I never liked cold weather.

Pretty much the way I see it, but both the convertable and 4 door hardtop bodies are available allready.

Looks downright nasty ugly to me.

There is NO time when snow is needed or wanted as far as I'm concerned.

It just might be worth it.
