I need some HONEST opinions...
george 53 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Harry, My '01 Eldo and my 95 Impala both have 300 horses(the Impala makes a FEW more than the Eldo,caz I "messed" with it) and they're both fun to drive! They get about the same in gas mileage too. Just don't look as "sporty" as your car. Just be careful with the 'ol "Johnny Law" caz that lil scoot 'o yourn will definatley attract some "yung punk" to wanna run ya! Will the wifey be drivein it too? If so, DETUNE it! I've found that women have no fear in a fast car! They LIKE fast cars! And they like to DRIVE them rather than to just ride in 'em! It looks fast an hopefully ,at our age, we've learned to respect them. Enjoy your new toy,and I hope you have it a long time! -

Harrrrry, THAT'S SHARP!!!!! Not bad lookin for a Ford! REALLY like the color. The paint scheme looks all Shelby-ish. So C'mon, spill the beans,dude. What's she packin? looks mean enough, can it back it up? -
U, nice job. I LIKE Caddy's so yours is right up my alley! It looks pretty nice to me, bright blue or not! You done a GOOD job on it,an I LIKE IT!
-
Hans, it IS a racecar, so I would think just the window trim an door handles would need foiling.The rest of it looks GREAT as is! GREAT JOB Kidd-O I likeses it!
-
Well Jose, Rick(LSU Fan) deviated a little on his,so it's not an EXACT copy of Stuntman Mike's Nova. BUT YOURS IS! And a fine replica it is,too! I had forgotten about the girls Mustang though. That would be cool to build all 3 cars, then you'd have you a GM, Ford an a Mopar! And ALL lookin GREAT!

Good Luck Bro,Hope you like it! -
Yep Matt, I gotta agree, it sure LOOKS the part! I especially like the effect of the exhast on the headers!

Which one do I get to build next?

Fuje, I like the lil red one in the middle. Don't know my Porsches that well after 71.( I helped tune up my autoshop teachers 917, so I KNOW that one) But they sure are ALL pretty cars. I just happen to like THAT particular style.It looks like it would be a REAL screamer,I like them fast lil carts,and that one just LOOKS fast! -
Lyle, it don't NEED ta be in your usual vein of things you build, caz it'll STILL be a killer.ALL your builds come out that way! Although a touch of humility does show your a normal guy. From the looks of it so far, it looks like your right on the beam with this one too! Lookeeen Gooood my fren!

Harry, I've never owned a Mustang. But I have ALWAYS been a V-8 man. My Daughter has a V-6 Jeep Commander, and my Bruddah owns a 05 Dodge sebring V-6. BOTH of them lil 6's got PLENTY of pep an spunk for me. They're close to 300 horse,and they can zip!. I don't know if the added price of the V-8 would be worth it. Unless you plan on racein it, then at that rate hit em up for that GT 500 thingie they claim is so fast.(I'm NOT a furd guy). -
Nice job Hans. Those flares are so subtle you can't really tell they're there. The rear flares are more noticeable, but nice and blended too. It looks GREAT! Keep it up Daddy-O,she's looking VERY nice!!!
-
GREAT tutorial Fletch! I can see how well you thought this out,and it worked out great! I got a coupla 40's in my stash,so I'm gonna try it on both the new Revell kit, and an old Lindburg kit too. If I can make it work on that mess, it'll work on ANY old kit! Thanks Fletch, you REALLY did us a favor here!
-
I like it. At least it STILL LOOKS like a Porsche. Looks like they just streched the cab area an puffed the back of the roof/backlight. Kinda like an extended cab Porsche! Wonder how it handles? How Much?
-
Yeah, that'll work REAL nice!
-
MAN, IS THAT COOL OR WAT!!!!!! Now THAT'S wat I'M talkin about!!! To bad we din't have somethin like that in Nam, we woulda SHOCKED them dam VC's right outta their tunnels!!!!! They'da RAN back to the North faster'n we could kill'em!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
-
So THAT'S what a Hot Rodded Lo-Lo APC looks like! Funny thing is, I LIKE IT!!! The Zukman is right though, some chromie road wheels would look killer on it! Is it powered by a Hemi? or izzat a 440 in that rascal? Just pop a SixPack on it an your good ta go! GREAT job on it so far Foxer, keep us posted on it's progress! ( some flames on it wouldn't hurt either!...And I DON'T mean from incomeing fire!!! )
-
WOW Jose, now THAT'S the "Deathproof" Nova! Your doin an OUTSTANDING job on it! Next, maybe you should do both the Challenger AND Stuntman Mike's Charger! That would REALLY be COOL! "To REALLY enjoy the attributes of this car, Ya need ta be sittin HERE!!!" I just LOVED that flick, an I got the DVD!
-
Naw Jere, I can't drink coffee(messes with the guts) But I didn't see any treadmarks on the tarp. They musta lowered it in place from a crane if it's real.Sooooo, I voted like I did.( Hope I'm right )
-
OOOOOO, 3M, looks like you might end up sendin the dark lord,BACK to the dark side! If you remember, the FORCE ALWAYS WINS!!!! That's too bad, caz the ol dark lords got a manly lookin lil apprentice there. Good Luck!
-
Yep Bob, you sure nailed it! Looks GREAT, jus like it should!
-
Gotta go with model too,Harry. A REALLY NICE one, but a model jus the same!
-
Duhhhhh, Sorry Curb, jus re-read the post. Still is a nice lookin build though!
-
Curb, that has to be a resin kit, as it's NEVER been popped in plastic. Who did it? You? REALLY NICE lookin! I think SELtd makes one,is that it? Either way, your doin a GREAT job on the interior, the rest of it should look killer! Keep rollin,an keep us posted, Real nice job so far!
