Like the paint, hate the "tinlets." Unless you keep the seal area scrupulously clean, dried paint will inevitably gunk up the seal and the paint will evaporate, even when "sealed." I've lost several tins of Humbrol that way. Close it, open it up days (or weeks) later, and all that's left is useless thick goop. I think all hobby paints that come in bottles (not sprays) should be packaged in plastic bottles with plastic caps, like acrylic craft paints are packaged. Enamel won't stick to that plastic, so you'd never have a stuck cap.

I wish they would invent a system where if a person unloads item #16 onto the belt at the 15 items or less "express lane," they automatically get a 15% surcharge added on to their bill. Or they automatically get tased. Either way...

You did accomplish something. You took a nap!

Agreed. Call it a Coronet or even a Monaco. But a Charger, to me, is always going to be a two-door coupe.

That's the point I was trying to make... on the surface it seems like this old Ford is still running after 300,000+ miles because, by golly, they just built 'em better in those days! But the reality is that the car has been completely rebuilt, top to bottom, several times over... so the idea that the old girl is still going strong is completely false. True, the magazine article pointed out the fact that everything had been replaced, but usually when Hemmings does a "Driveable Dream" feature article in the magazine, the car featured is actually pretty much original. And in the header of the article, it says "Trusty Tudor: After 64 years of ownership, a well-maintained Ford and its original owner age gracefully together." Yeah, the owner may be original, the car is anything but. "Well-maintained?" It would have been more accurate to say "nothing on this car is original."

Better looking than what passes for a "Charger" today!

Another "beauty," Manny!

Very nice so far! I bought this kit a long time ago, never actually have gotten around to building it!

Nope! The only ugly Chargers are the current ones!

Very impressive work so far! I love the sales receipt... sales tax on $27 only 81¢! Wow, times have changed...

Well, there's no such thing as an ugly '68-'69 Charger... but I'd take that black one in a heartbeat.

Well, mark me down as "officially jealous." That's a cool looking car!

Any particular reason you're messing with Reynolds Wrap for chrome trim and not using Bare Metal Foil, which is a lot easier to use?

Huh? We're just pointing out the fact that this car is nowhere near "original"... it's barely even the same car that it was when the guy bought it! Almost everything has been replaced, in many cases several times over. I guess I don't see the point of this story... a guy still owns the same car after all these years and all those miles would be interesting, I guess... but that is not the case here.

Wait... what??? They made Chargers without Confederate flags on the roof? Yep, it just doesn't get much better than this, IMO...

I like them!

There are places that sell new remastered LPs... http://www.soundstagedirect.com/led-zeppelin.shtml?gclid=CLeaoazKxL4CFaY-Mgod32EAPA This seller claims to sell new old stock, factory-sealed LPs... http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-ZEPPELIN-Led-Zeppelin-II-LP-SEALED-180g-preorder-/161284597007?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item258d4fa50f

Agreed. Moebius is definitely driving the bus these days. And good for them. I also appreciate their dedication to the consumer, and their willingness to not only listen to consumer feedback, but actually act on it. These guys just get it.

Amen. Smartest move I ever made. Now my lawn is their problem.

Flawless.

That's cool! And a nice display base, too.

No excuse for that kind of mistake. I can see it happening in the aftermarket, where the "company" is one guy. But an actual corporation with employees whose job it is to get it right? Hard to justify that.

Enamels are notoriously slow to dry. That's why I like lacquers or acrylics.

or Cragars...
