Here's another one...

Roger, a friend of mine has a Subaru turbo engine in a clone buggy, SCAREY FAST !

Lets see, a resin caster could buy that, cast a mold, and sell the kits at about $75.00 each. He could break even at about 300 kits sold!

YES! Thats winter!

The handbrake is between the seats, is that what you're asking?

Do the math, 1200 pounds, 120 HP, short wheelbase, 12 feet long, it's a legal go-kart!

Its kind of like the small block Chevy, a 283 works as a 350 just fine. Don't get me wrong, back in the 60's the 'vair was the hot set up!

Actually we painted the raw glass side of the body black!

Will do, I'll have to have the kids help me! LOL!

YES! I'm glad I bought a long time ago! My cylinders are the thick ones like the 94mm ones so the heat is not a problem, I wanted the thick ones for a turbo (T-3) later. I've owned my Manx 41 years, drove it to high school! Its still metal flake gel-coat.

The old Cragar / Keystone Wide Oval sets ( MRC) would fix things for me, cant stand the Bling-Bling wheels.

Corvair engines in a buggy were the hot ticket back in the sixties, but today the VW engine makes the power without the size and rotation issues. My 1835cc dual carb VW pulls the front wheels, what more do you really need?

My second car was a 56 Chevy Belair 2 door sedan, I can do it from the 210 kit with work but it would be nice to have a correct kit. Thanks to the upcoming Meyers Manx kit I can model any car I owned and would want to model pretty easily, but I owned a lot of popular cars when I was young (Camaros, tri-five Chevys, Corvettes and such), I haven't owned a car worth modeling in years.

Yep, for a sedan the AMT kit is your only option for the body, pick up the Revell kit for a much better chassis.

Monograms Nomad is 1/24. OOPS! Its also a 57.

I wish they would quit putting those ugly wagon wheels in kits of 50's to 70's cars all together.

Looks like the Dodge Dart Sport front grafted onto a resin Plymouth Swinger is your only way.

Lucky you! The decal sheet looks interesting.........

I don't mind ladies, its the sleazy I don't like.

Maybe my LHS discounts a bit, but I can't buy as cheap online with shipping included. And the no sales tax thing will soon be a thing of the past.

Cut the engine bay out, it can't be that hard to find a small block Chevy in your spares box.

No, I'm a big boy, I just don't like looking at that trash, those girls are too trashy. I want to see the cars.

Rules did not say anything about engine colors, so research and find what your engine builder used.

Yes, but don't make a hood scoop out of putty.
