  1. Really nice. I almost bought that El Camino yesterday. I put it back because they had just gotten the Lindberg Owens Custom Cruiser. I may have to sneak back and get the El Camino as well.
  2. How much do you charge to put one of these things together? LOL. I love the car, not so much the kit..Anyway, you can always LS it. There's lots of Chevy engines available... Ow, quit hitting me!
  3. I don't think there are any rules on titles. My personal rule is to just make it clear so people know what I'm saying. LOL. I've like the Fujimi 911s because they have such great bodies, but I like the Monogram Revell 911s for everything else.
  4. I love this. I've been collevcting Porsche models since I can't have a real one. Been working out ideas like this. Have fun, you are doing excellent!
  5. Last weekend my wife wanted to go to Hobby Lobby for fabric. I checked out the clearance aisle and there was a Higgins 2mm India Ink pen on clearance for $2.75. I got it just because. Now I'm wondering if it might be good for panel lines and such. 2mm is pretty wide I know. Is India Ink a forgiving material? I have used fine tip Sharpies but if you slip, it is hard to clean up the mistake.
  6. I really hope to see this one!
  7. Not been off-road, but there was this really gnarly speed bump at Walmart...
  8. I looked and mine is back too.
  9. I bought two of this kit last year, one to build stock and the other to build like you are doing. Love the inspiration.
  10. Is there a chance that he has an American vendor, or do you have to order direct?
  11. Love the wheels and the beer! This body style of Ford and the 61-63 are really needed as kits. I have a few of the old AMT ones but they are getting super expensive. Maybe Moebius will do one or maybe some Indiana Jones-like AMT employee will come across the old tooling somewhere back in the warehouse.
  12. This was a redo of the original Blue Beetle wasn't it? That would mean that the engine was probably the Cadillac engine modified so they didn't have to pay royalties to Cadillac.
  13. MPC had a nice Toyota Supra that could stand to see a reissue.
  14. Beautiful work! I saw one of this on eBay last week and meant to bid on it, then forgot about it until it was over.
  15. They've been pretty good at bringing them out, but I would like to see MPC's Vega and Pinto hatchback, their 78 Camaro, really any of MPC's old annuals. AMT's Ford Courier in stock form. Any and all of Monogram's 70s curbside exotics, the 911, 924, 240z, and all the rest, preferably with the optional edition parts all included in one box. The James Bond Aston Martin would be nice and I wonder if the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tooling still exists.
  16. I've been browsing the C1 site a lot lately, but I prefer to pay with a money order rather than PayPal so my wife doesn't know exactly how much I spend. Plausible deniability!
  17. I go to Dollar Tree and buy those cheap knockoff Gladware tubs. Lots of sizes and they are airtight. If you get the right size, they are good for keeping dust off a painted body while it dries.
  18. Thanks, they have some stuff I can definitely use.
  19. Love that interior. I've got those fine tip Sharpies, but I also have a shaky hand, so I don't do very well with it. You did great though!
  20. I'm watching to see what you do, looking good!
  21. You're nailing it, looks good!
