That's what you get when kids in Bel Air take to the water. Cool beans.

May 24, 1988 I was doing morning rock radio and had the opportunity to see the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour for FREE, just by hosting a rock bus to the Metrodome. I'd just done one for David Lee Roth and it wore me out, so I passed on Floyd. Biggest regret ever. Friends, cousins, strangers went and no one said it was just okay. Every single one said it was the most amazing concert they'd ever been to. I remember it also being the highest rated concert of the year by either Rolling Stone or Billboard.

Pretty cool. There's more to the kit than I thought and I'd like to have that engine in my arsenal. Nice work.

Neat.

Just continuing Roger's thought, here are some other (quick rough) examples of two and three color combos. These are less about the colors I selected as they are about the space the colors occupy. Some Impalas did have vinyl tops so a painted fastback top wouldn't be awkward.

This is really exciting David. Exactly the kind of subject that gets me stoked and you do impressive work too. My update is the Torino is silent, model bench quiet. Not home much these days.

Late entry? Heck it's not even June. Jump in.

Now we know what Bob Falfa did with his insurance money. Pretty tough. I thought you had a great run on the 24hr build, you did most of it, but I knew it was doomed from the start with posable wheels and opening doors. You'd have had a satisfying finish with a less involved build. Glad you finished it, it looks great. Speckling was risky but I'm okay with it. Wheels are perfect.

Might as well double post that one Bill, one in each thread.

I'd hate to miss it this time but it's looking iffy. Toller puppies due that week. Maybe if I do a down & back that day.

A masterpiece, all of it.

I have a sentimental soft spot for these and I hope mine comes out as nice as yours when I'm done.

These are great Harry. You have an accomplished level of patience (and technique of course). Some winners there. I love Illustrator too. I like the file sizes and being resolution "free." But for as much time as it takes to perfect a gradient mesh, you might as well use PS and just paint it. An added benefit of regular PS use is it's developed my eye for using my Badger airbrush in my modeling.

I got that way when I used to have asparagus. The first shoots to show in spring and the first to cut fresh before anything else really started.

Outside of Tulsa, it has no value. You can forget about museums, civic administrations or municipalities, they'll never want it and taxpayer money shouldn't be spent on it. Miss B's only hope is as a business promotional or private display. It should go back to Tulsa and be displayed at a 50's theme bar, cafe or tourist spot. It's a minor piece of fun Tulsa history only and a private entity there should take advantage of its novelty.

I have a flip phone and no texting plan, so no texts or it costs .15¢ each time. I state it plainly and tell people to call me in the ad, yet I only get texts. Here was one conversation... "Do you still have the chair?" "Yes, feel welcome to call." "Are there any issues with it?" "No. Please call for details." "Will you be around this afternoon?" "Yes, please call." "I'll be nearby around 4 will that work?" "Yes, please call, no texts." "Great, see you then." A buck-&-a-half later she never showed. I understand the convenience of texts, but is there an aversion to actual human conversation?

Beautiful. Love that undercarriage. Your aircraft experience shows there. That grill is sure calling for a dark wash to fill the recesses though. The black bumpers indicate an earlier model and I think sets off your model well. By 2004 they were body color, so the nice thing about this kit is you can do either and not be wrong. Also very astute that you posted it in this section as they were registered as trucks (but it's still a car in my book).

Wonderful. Excellent, careful use of color.

Definitely like it. I believe it.

Having just bought 2004 PT Limited (loaded, including the moon roof) I'm pretty jazzed about these things so I'm very interested in your project and thoughts about this kit.

Yup. However lately I've been very proud of my restraint and passing up the $5 opened Monogram Trans Am, Corvette (or other common kit) at the flea market. I'm done saying, "maybe I can use some parts in the future." After a while you don't own your stuff, your stuff owns you.

When I think of 70's theme cars, the bicentennial cars, to me, are the most memorable.

Gonna display it on two wheels Ron?
