  1. Those pics are fake and have been photoshopped. Here is the real deal spy photo of the new Camaro.
  2. Wooden Ships by Crosby, Still, and Nash was written by David Crosby, Grace Slick, and Paul Katner.......and recorded by Jefferson Airplane before CSN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAm_C6sGWa0
  3. Originally written by Jerry Ragovoy under the pseudonym Norman Meade. Irma Thomas recorded Time Is On My Side in early 1964 as a B side to her single Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand). The Rolling Stones recorded the song a few months later.\ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRBJyfsEEIk
  4. Check the instructions for the part number and keep checking the parts trees, I know its in there since I have several of these Charger kits its just been a long time since I had one out on the bench in front of me.
  5. Jeff, don't bother sending the other stripes. I'll use the ones from the kit, after I looked at them under different kinds of light (incandescent, florescent, daylight) they aren't as bad as I first thought. Also when I was firs looking at them it was about 1:30AM and my judgment might have been off a little.
  6. Anything by Palmer !!!!......Might as well start at the bottom.
  7. The hood and mirrors have arrived so now I have the whole kit and can start final assembly.....after I add the final piece of BMF to the rear of the hood.
  8. B M Trouble you...
  9. All foiled except for the hood, which I'm waiting on. I'm going to see if I can make the louvers look a little better. Looking at reference pics there is supposed to be some body color showing between them but in scale its hard to trim between them. The back edge of them should have some flat black too, that might be enough to create the illusion of space between them. I'll start working on fitting the headers and wrapping up the rest of the kit now. After looking at the decals in different light they aren't as purple as I though they were so I might try to put them on tomorrow.
  10. BMF is finished, I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow. I PMed Billy a few days ago and should have the hood and mirrors next week. I have a couple questions for the group. First, the kit comes with a set of traction bars, should I use them or not? Second, I was looking at the decals and the white to blue strobe looks more like white to purple. I dont think they look very good holding them up to the body, certainly not up to the standards of all the work that has been done, should I still use them? Does anyone know if the decals in the reissued kit are better? I have the same Pro Modeler kit and the decals in my kit also look purple but I dont have the reissue to compair. Last, there is an option of headers or stock manifolds. If I go with the headers I have to cut the already instaled exhaust pipes, to me the headers seem like the way to go on this build though. What do you guys think?
  11. Pretty much as I expected....
  12. Everybody keeps posting old songs, how about 2 from a couple of the best albums (CDs) released in the last few months ?? We will fight you from the mountains And we will fight you in the streets And we will fight you from the valleys You can not take what isn't yours or this one Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you Tell me I'm exception and I'll only exploit you Give me all your money and I'll make some origami, honey I think your a joke but I don't find you very funny
  13. OK, so the engine got here today............buuuuuuuut, I wasn't home so FedEx left a card for me to sign and they should drop it off tomorrow. That would mean I'm only waiting on the hood and mirrors from Billy once he is able to paint them. I'm about to do some foiling, can't wait to se that chrome against the blue paint !!!
  14. Why not, the back seat in a Camaro is useless anyway.
  15. You're right, its Hey Lawdy Mama.....got my wolf tunes mixed up.
  16. Engine looks great Fred.....PM sent along with a question for you.
  17. Tighten Up Your Wig by Steppenwolf
  18. The Torino (well, most of it) arrived today. Jeff did a great job of packing it and there was no damage. He also did a great job on the interior, the basswood inserts fit perfect and look much better than the decals included in the kit. The paint work by Billy is incredible and really needs to be seen in person. I can't wait to get the hood and mirrors from him. The chassis is flawless thanks to Carlos, and Andrew must have done a good job with the parts prep cause I can't find any mold seams on any parts I've looked over. I'm hoping the engine will be here in soon so this whole thing can come together. Here are a couple mock up pics before I start foiling and final assembly. I'll start on the BMF tomorrow.
  19. Fred, PM sent. According to the tracking number Jeff gave me I should have most of the kit tomorrow. I guess Jeff sent the hood and mirrors to Billy for paint so I guess they will make their way to me when they are done.
  20. Fred, send me the engine, the other parts are on their way to me right now. Let me know if you need my addy again.
  21. Pretty sure the submarine body would make it a Streamliner not a Lakester.
  22. Donovan, Hurdy Gurdy Man Lady, Little River Band
  23. Can't Get Next To You, Temptations.......also a great version by Savoy Brown
