Many of us used to offer suggestions and tips to those who posted the pics, on how to improve their skills. Tips like cleaning up mold lines and ejector pin marks, making sure all four wheels touched the ground, etc. But too many folks took these comments as personal attack, so many of us are now reticent to offer any comments at all. The other part of it, for me at least, has to do with the subject matter. I look for things I haven't seen before. When I see something that I consider creative and unique, something that catches my eye, then I'll comment on it. I have to admit that lowered suspensions bore me to death. Instead of taking a '63 Chevy and "slammin it inta tha weedz" why not build it as a '70s dirt track racer or show car? Maybe build one based on how you think a 2009 Chevy will look when somebody does a customization on it in 2042? It's just not easy for me to say "Ooooh lookie, another low rider!" and truly be excited about it. David G.

Thanks G and Danno. Maybe I'll get this one done. If I do, it'll be the first for 2011! David G.

It's time for a minor update on my RoboCop Police car. I finally got the interior done. I made a third brakelight from an old taillight lens with a bit of foil glued to the back. I replaced the security cage window with a wire mesh more like the one in the movie car. I also fashoned a mic from a bit of styrene, added a cord and attached them to the dash. I know it's not much, but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for taking the time to look. David G.

Actually, I'm a bit grateful for that. Nothing personal, but I found it rather distracting and it made it difficult for me to read anything you posted. It kept pulling my eyes away from the text and I would find myself staring at it for seconds at a time. I usually just scrolled past it as quickly as I could. I guess it pinged my photo-sensitive epilepsy. I look forward to reading your posts now. David G.

Very impressive skills! Other than that, what can be said? David G.

Too Funny! Very cool. David G.

WOW! No wonder your eyes look like that! If I ever do attempt a wiring harness like that, I at least have an idea of how to procede. Thanks for the tip. David G.

Is nothing sacred? Very cool work on this one. It kind of has a "Road Warrior" feel to it. David G.

Looks like it's coming along nicely! Keep up the good work. David G.

Aside from the Corvette clip tacked on the back and a couple of extra fins on the spoiler, I don't see that it differs much from some of the other tooners I see driving around Phoenix. Now if there was some way to mount the wheels on the roof and drive it and drive it down the road on the outer edges of the rims... that would be different! David G.

That's about a year's worth of rain here in Phoenix. David G.

Hmmm.... 106 and 38% humidity yesterday... and I did a graveside service at noon... in a black suit... in the sun I don't mean to make light of anybody's suffering, but monsoon season in Phoenix can be as bad or worse than a Midwest heat wave. I know, I grew up in NE Ohio. Regards, David G.

I'm glad to see this one again. Nice progress, keep up the good work! David G.

Abso-flippin-lootly Amazing! David G.

Maybe the woman bought the car, drove it home, then had a stroke or some other health issue and was unable to drive it. Having no relatives, to make her get rid of the car, or take it from her, the car sat undriven until she died. As to why she let it set for more than thirty years- maybe it was a symbol of accomplishment- her first new car bought with cash. Maybe it was an incentive for recovery, "Some day, I'm gonna drive that car!" Who knows, I think I'll bid on it if it comes back up again. I'll have my brother in Jersey pick it up for me. If I get it, I'll let everybody know what I find out. Later, David G.

Welcome back Brian. I noticed you weren't on the boards recently, I hope everything's alright now. David G.

Very cool, thank you. David G.

Very nice! I love these stock builds. Good work on this one. David G.

Romell, As always, your work is awesome! I've learned so much from your builds. Now if I could learn to apply some of what I've learned! David G.

That's one cool dragster! I would be interested in seeing a couple of shots of the bottom to get an idea of how the engines and transmission are put together. David G.

Excellent work! I wouldn't be surprised to see this one featured in a magazine some day. David G.

I . Just. Keeps. Getting. Better! David G.

That's what I would call an "All Business" sedan. A very agressive looking car, especially in that first photo. David G.

Actually, it looks pretty cool with the paint stripped off. Sort of like it's made of pewter. Can't wait to see how this one comes out. David G.

Janne, Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is the AMT Taurus police car molded in black styrene and repackaged as the official Robocop 2 movie police car. There are a few differences between the kit and the car used in the movie, so it won't be a replica, more of a representation. And it's not a highly detailed kit, though it sounds as if you may be familiar with it. I'm wet-sanding the body now and deciding on how best to work with the flat black paint and decals; the two don't work well together. I think I'll paint it with semi-gloss black, apply and fix the decals, then hit it with dull coat. I'll get some more pics posted as soon as I have something worth looking at. Thanks again for your comments and thanks for coming up with the CBP, without it, I may never have built this kit. Regards, David G.
