Nice! I'd like to build the same car,

Somebody made a 1/24 MGA, I've seen built ups (and passed on them at a swap meet), but I don't know what model company. I'd love to have one.

Nothing happened that I wanted to post in the "what irked you today" thread.

A super stock racer will be easy then, decals are allready out there.

I'm sure that a drag version will soon follow, that's the one I'm waiting for. I hope it represents an actual car raced in 65.

My take on it. First the new kit must be a subject that interests me, or I won't buy it no matter how "right" it is. Now, if it's a subject that has already been kitted it must be an improvement over the exesting kits in my stash or I have no reason to buy it. And if it a new subject that somewhat interests me, it's got to be right or I'll pass. If it is a subject that interests me a lot and it's not quite right I'll make a decision on how bad it is, and if it can be corrected. If it's way wrong I don't care if I drove one school ang got lucky in it, it's staying on the shelf. Thankfully the Moebius models I have bought have been great, and severial upcomming subjects do interest me quite a bit.

Wait until it pays $15 an hour to flip fries.

The 914 handled great but had no power. The 240Z did lots of things well but nothing great. (yes it was a 1970) The 56 Chevy was the quickest/ fastest of the three, and the most comfortable of the three, otherwise was just transportation. My Alfa Spider was my best import sports car, power, handling, braking and comfort.

Also staggered rear shocks and upgraded interior.

That was the 914's stronghold.

I've owned both, and while the 240Z was much quicker than the 914, second gear wheelstands are quite an exaggeration. My 56 Chevy with a 327 in it would blow my 240Z off the road.

I hate the emblems on the decal sheet! Aftermarket photo etch is the only answer, and I can't afford to build like that anymore. And I agree about the front wheel wells, They are always warped or twisted in the box and I have to cut them loose and glue them into the body as a separate part with no locating points.

I've owned many first gen Camaros, and in my opinion this kit just isn't an improvement over the AMT kit.

Nice!

Bad kit or not, I want one of these.

Not true, the Mustang had a long list of options so it could be equipped to appeal to everybody. Broad appeal is where the sales numbers were.

Yep! Black and dip it in oil!

I like the loaded up RS/SS cars in Daytona Yellow, with black stripes and top. All the bumper guards and such. The base cars look best in Fathom Green with white stripes.

69 Camaro, Fathom Green.

Most of the other cars I've owned including an old 77 Chevy truck would have walked off and left it. Of course they had Chevy 350's in them. It really wasn't much quicker than the 69 VW 1500 I had.

It's an old Pryo mold, not known for quality, accuracy or ease of build.

If I ever get another it will be Subaru turbo powered. Mine was a 1.8 and was a complete DOG. Couldn't deal with a stock 4 cyl. one today.

This is far from the story I heard, the 914 was to be the Karmann Ghia replacement, and Porsche did the development. VW AUDI backed out going water cooled instead, and Porsche was stuck holding the ball and released the car worldwide as a VW-Porsche (and badged as such everywhere except the US). The engine is 100% VW type 4 as used in the 411 and 412 sedans, and VW type 2 transporters from 1972. Having said that, they are great cars, the one I had was great fun and I'd love to have another.

Yogi and Boo-boo? Care Bears? Gummy Bears? The Berenstein Bears? Which loto and how much was it up to?

That will be unique because most rodders use the newer T's, cool thought.
