Porche 944, Mazda RX7

Eventually just stopped to ask for friggin' directions. ?

12 different global auto makers.

I used that series chassis for my very first Cannonball, mine was from the Pinto modified. I shortened the frame in front of the wheels. It works out pretty well but I wouldn't call it stealthy. The kit gives you treaded tires though ?. I widened the racer's floor to fit the Bug and built a rear bulk head, but the body is about all I used from the VW. The basic engineering is pretty straight forward, I just flourished it with a bunch of fancy pants stuff.

The headlight lashes make me chuckle. Pretty convincing all the way around and nothing below your usual high quality work. One of a kind. Wish I had your goat barn, but I don't envy maintaining all that fencing.

This. X2

Beautiful car. Well done.

Sow's ear = silk purse.

As does abandoning the kit's glass roof. It may be less showy but is immensely more appropriate and sympathetic to the rest of the car's lines. The perfect choice.

Beautiful work on the body. Keep it going.

Great looking combo. Hits all the right notes.

I like your thinking. The body looks great, did you need two roofs?

Euphemisms aren't enough, but stunning, beautiful, striking come to mind. Your hard work paid off, you should be proud.

I tried watching it three times (even at different points in my life, for perspective) in the comfort of my own home and never made it to the end. While I'm fully prepared to invest my time into eclectic art films, this one is designed to slowly and methodically deconstruct and torture your psyche. Who wants to sit through that for an hour and a half?

What a fun departure, so creative. What scale is it?

Glad to hear. I hope it serves your needs as well as it has mine. It can't hurt, right? While I've been away I did lower it, maybe a scale three inches. I'm reluctant to go too low because I don't see many (era appropriate) classic customs in the weeds the way we see them today. But it definitely can't stay the way it is. I've also been carving on a bubble top and like what I'm seeing. I Just need more opportunities for bench time and pic posting.

Yeah, looks like Inspector Callahan should step out and dominate. Enjoyed the build thread too. Good work.

How exotic. Really beautiful. Not to be ignored is your excellent presentation. Well done sir.

Amazing and impressive project. A special thank you for helping me identify pieces in my parts box.

Fascinating and frightening about the brush cleaner and lenses. Was your cleaner something like acetone or lacquer thinner? What would be so hot as to dissolve plastic with a touch?

Glad to see this one built up. I have this kit and since proportions are a bit clunky I've been reluctant to invest the time into building it. Seeing yours gives me ideas for what I could do with mine. Color is great and reminds me of the rare blue offered on '86 Pontiac Fieros.

No WAY. Are you kidding? Scorsese, Griffin Dunne, Catherine O'Hara... Delicious dark humor, satire, four out of four stars from Roger Ebert, Best Director at Cannes, one of my favorites ?

They're too perfect. I'm going home.

I liked him in The Fifth Element because he brought comic strength to his scenes, where everybody else (in those scenes) were more cartoon characters.

This falls squarely in the domain of Elon Musk or what's the fundamental point of SpaceX, and don't say money because I don't believe billionaire bucks has ever been his sole motivation.
