Made a trade with Jason Gette, " plasticfrog" got exactly what he described, great guy to deal with !!

I'm not sure, I'd like to get that '53 drop top going ..but then they're all pretty cool .. 1st world problems LOL

The Postman was good to me today.. so was Craigslist.. it pays to surf CL ..

I still can't believe that Batmobile sold for 4.1 million.. crazy

That almost goes without saying at my house. My dog is never more than 2 steps away from me ..

I rate Barris right up there with Coddington .. they just relied on other peoples skill to make a name for themselves. Now Jesse James, Chip Foose, Steve Strope ? Those guys are real artists ...

Very Correct, externally the 383/400 are the same..The same way the 273 , 318, 340, 360 ( LA blocks ) are all , externally, the same .

The 383 isn't an RB unless you're referring to the 1959-1960 383's. 440 & 426 Hemi's are in the RB ( Raised Block ) family and externally pretty much the same. The Hemi having a few cast in pads for different accessory locations. Hope this helps .

I was a mortarman in the Marine Corps for 6 years, I have constant ringing too, drives me nuts at night ..

Hahahaha, that what I told my wife. I don't care what the house looks like, I just need a 2 car garage. Luckily it worked out ...

I thought I had a lot at just over a 100 gigs .. I'm humbled ..

I think the seats look awesome, great technique on them, whatever you did !

So, what do you guys do while you're building ? I either have winamp booted up with music or I have a movie going while I'm working. Anybody else work like this ? I'm lucky enough to have a completely spare bedroom in the new house, where we have our computers and a lazy-boy. A lot of times the wife who is an avid reader will sit and read while I work on my models. She is so supportive of my hobby , I'm a lucky guy..

Yes, 25 years. Several 1 of 1 cars to my credit. 1 of 1 1970 Baldwin Motion Buick 455 Stage 1 GSX, 1 of 1 1971 Buick GSX Artic White GSX with Black vinyl top.. ( one of 2 GSX's with a vinyl top, the other is a 1970 ) The owner of the shop I worked for in Marietta was the owner of the Baldwin Motion car, which recently sold to a gentleman in Florida.

Considering how many Cameos were actually made (1405 in 1958 / how many are left ), add in the fact that it's the ONLY one in existence that has 1.5 miles on it ? Sure it's got some roof damage but it's otherwise immaculate. Never titled, registered, etc etc ? It was a very smart buy. Get a competent shop that can affect the repairs, without making it look like it was repaired ?? That thing would sell for a half million easy .. It was indeed a very smart buy for 140k ..

thank

Does anybody know of a photo etch detail set for a Baldwin Motion Camaro of other vehicle ? I'm putting together the parts needed to make the Baldwin Motion '70 Buick GSX . Any help would be appreciated.

The Skyline GT-R 2000 is an excellent kit .. I need to get another one

sweet build, super clean !!

His current kits are priced well. His vintage stuff is way pricey, also he's pretty stingy on trade value.

awesome, looking forward to it. Saw some great builds last time I was up there !!

I don't know where you're located , but I get a 40% discount with AMD when it's time to repair those quarters .. be glad to pass my discount on to you for a kit or 2 ;-)

Honestly, it's not that much money considering the amount of fab-work going into it. It's an aluminum/ carbon fiber body. That alone is worth the price of admission. Granted, for that kind of cash I'd rather see a completely "original" design. But at the end of the day, after tooling, labor, the cost of paint, upgrade parts.. I'm willing to bet they aren't making a huge profit on these...

The front end looks more like a 1971-72 Plymouth than a Mustang .. and at 250k I'll bet they aren't making a ton on each copy either ..
