  1. We still buy CDs. They get ripped to the computer and copied onto USB flash drives. The Mazda 3 and the Focus both have USB inputs to their infotainment systems and it is convenient to have 80-100 CDs on that tiny little USB drive. AFAIK, it is still legal to make a "backup" copy of music that you legally acquired.
  2. Chris coated the bare plastic with Future. The plastic in mine doesn't look as good as his, so I think the body will get paint. I don't build Porsches, and I don't build 1/16th scale, but it appealed to me anyway. ?
  3. Gotta remember we are talking about a Barris creation, not something from Harley Earle.
  4. I asked the same question a while back, and got no answer. I ASSume it is. HPIGuy did a build of one if you want to see what's in the box and how it goes together.
  5. Got these yesterday from Burbank's Hobbies via eBay. The Porsche is nice enough. I wish Round2 would offer the Firestone Wide Ovals separately in a parts pack like the Polyglas.
  6. Vince PMed me and told me it was yours. Very nice! I have a Modelhaus one that is way too thick and the scoops aren't open. It's a nice casting, but his master wasn't the greatest.
  7. Where did you get the '70 W-30 hood?
  8. he's feeling Sleepy
  9. Is that true? Chrysler used to put white steering wheels in manual steering cars, and CHP didn't order power steering until 74 or so. I didn't think that CHP wanted white wheels, it was just that they came with manual steering. Mopar nerds latched on to the fact that the LAPD cars used in Adam-12 had power steering because they didn't have the white steering wheel.
  10. What are you building? A 49 convertible or a 50 coupe?
  11. Separate piece on the chrome tree. You can see it on the stock version in the pic.
  12. 49 has an exposed fuel filler, 50 has it hidden behind a door.
  13. Whoda thunk that an extremely heavy wheel/tire package with the wrong offset would be an issue on a 200k mile Tahoe? Guess the ball joint separated? He dragged that tire all the way to the road on the right after the overpass. He also did an awesome job of keeping it in his lane.
  14. Yes please. My employer blocks all of the photo hosting sites. I don't even look at Under Glass or On The Workbench from work because I can't see a fair amount of the photos. Uploaded images are fine.
  15. My spouse wanting to know when I am COOKING dinner.
