With so much discussion of 'Cudas and Challengers this may have been posted somewhere already and I've missed it. If not here are 113 awesome, high resolution graphic depictions of almost any conceivable interpretation of your Plymouth Dodge E-body. http://ebodies.blogspot.com/

One obit I read referred to his role in "The Last Emperor" as a cameo but it was played exactly right and gave the scenes an enjoyable depth. I finally bought Lawrence of Arabia after getting sucked into it every time it came on TCM or cable, regardless of how far into it I joined. ...And then there was "Caligula" Ohhhhh Pete.

The flaw here is "find some women." If it's from my stash, I guess I'm starting with $8. Seriously, if you're this kid, you may recall he started with a donated cell phone and ended with a used Porsche Boxter in 24 moves.

Erik you need to head 12hrs east. Do you realize the median income in the new oil patch is $95,000? You gotta work long hard weeks but if you already work those hours it might pay off for you. There's such a demand, employers wait at the train station for people to arrive. Of course, the cost of living is criminal but still worthwhile. For this exercise a second job consideration is on the plate, but the 'GF challenge' requires that I not be away day and night. So a second job (for only 8 weeks) is possible but it would need to be done mostly from home. Thoughts?

Probably the most authentic looking version of this I've seen.

My theory is some people are doing it, but it's not sustainable. So not really viable income but a nice shot in the arm. Does anyone think intense up-trading could result in a $9G gain in 8 weeks?

Way ahead of you there, but I'm on a pretty short leash on the wrong side of the state. Which is exactly what's happening. No worries about the relationship, we're in it for life. But there'd be less bile if we didn't have to go through this every year.

I already am, which is what creates the problem, I'm part of it. Out of respect I won't get into details, but her degree is animal science and the stressor would be equivalent to something like, say, constant care livestock in the house. This actually occurred to me. Love it.

My GF has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged me to find a way to make $9k in 8 weeks. I'm looking for creative, plausible ideas that are attainable, legal, low risk, family friendly and doesn't require advanced professional career training/experience. The back story is once or twice a year she makes about 9-grand in 8 weeks but it's very disruptive to the household and batters the relationship. She needs the money, but said if I could find a way to do the same, she'd quit her project. Since this is purely brainstorming, I welcome any zany concept because any creative thought can inspire a tangent idea. If it was you blathering with a friend over beers, what idea or combination of ideas would you consider?

Thanks for all the hard work Nick. With voting figured out the path has been paved for next year. Sorry my car couldn't be one of the pictures above but the race is on. Now we wait to see who crosses the finish line first.

I like it Jim.

That, Bill, is but one of numerous reasons why I consider every technical element you bring to this forum to be valid. You know of what you speak.

My HS geometry teacher was an extra in that movie. He was going to college in NM where they were filming when they put out a call for extras. Tom Loughlin was nobody at the time and he wondered what made the short bossy guy such a big shot on the set. Didn't take long to find out.

That was the obvious choice, but I wanted to cut corners and not dwell on the interior too much. Truth is though, I'm not satisfied with how it looks and since most of it is in plain view I think I'm going to redo it. Every inch of that T-Bird is an inspiration so I'll have to raise the bar a tad.

Thanks Doc. Once this get into full gear, I believe our little Utopia will become a destination. Sort of a Mel's Dineropolous.

That did turn out pretty good. I guess I wasn't aware there was a snap kit of this in that scale. A little BMF or Alclad II in select areas would help dress it up but otherwise nice attention to detail and color choice.

My power plant doesn't require the kit's turbine exhaust, but there's a recessed placement area for it. Rather than just fill it in I'd like to add some texture to the body I burnished some tape into the recess with a pencil... ...then laid the tape on some sculpting screen and just trimmed it to the shape of the marks. Pressed it firmly into the space and superglued. This will be painted body color, maybe with a wash. Mostly I just wanted a little texture to add interest.

The Cherry Bomb dash is sparse with dated and thinly engraved details including a large "65" which I suppose is the speed. It's actually begging to be detailed and I considered the nacelle of a '57 Chevy dash, but to move this along I just added a parts box guage cluster, buttons and a canopy release. It would be easy to overdo it but I think a utopian car shouldn't be complicated to operate.

We're talking about plastic models, right?

I guess when you're a king... Very clever. Thanks for the chuckle.

What the..........?!?! ROTFLMAO

I know I'm turning the screws on you John, but I have all the confidence you'll pull an all nighter to get in under the new deadline.

Agreed. They all look excellent. The only flaw on Andretti one is there's no damage.

x2. Plus if we need more spots they can just continue into the next post. Crude, but achievable.

Thanks for the extra shots. I'm impressed, not just with the engineering but the research.
