As a 21 year veteran of auto mechanics, you need '95 to '05 Buick LeSabre/Park Ave.
They talk today about getting 30 MPG. These cars were getting 30 MPG back then. It's no problem for these cars to get 200,000 miles. Even 300,000 is not a problem.
Sadly enough Steve, I really don't have the money to go.
I will have to put reality first, as the fantasy world of model cars can sometimes take over a persons life.
Then again, I may go back into my fantasy world tomorrow.
Darn split personality.
Here's a link for the pictures.
Put it here in general topic to help spred some cheer.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL
First off, I would like to thank Niko for this great build idea.
I'm in
Gonna build a '66 Ford Fairlane.
It will be as a Super Stock as they were in the late '60's
Today the Super Stock class are called Late Models.
The car raced at Macon Speedway in Illinois. It was red with white rims and numbers. In later years the driver Jim Ater drove an early '70's Maverick that he called the "Dirt Squirt".
Looks like restoring will be an issue for a while
My cousin was more into drag racing.
Lots of Mopars
Dodge power wagon
GMC pick up
Can anyone identify the 1/32 demo derby car? It came modeled like that.
Building all my own 1:1 racers myself, I can really relate to this one. "A back yard dream"
When building, I spent as much time in the seat dreaming as I did building.
Thanks for showing and thanks for bringing up those memories
Engine finished.
Question for Bart: Is the driveshaft visible under your car or does it run through a tunnel?
The kit frame appears that the driveshaft runs through a tunnel to the rear end.
Any corrections that would be needed, please feel free to post them. Thanks and I hope you guys enjoy.
