Looks nice overall, but those wheels would really benefit from a black wash.

Just curious... why not use the kit part?

I googled it, saw the ads... they include a line about 100% satisfaction or your money back. I wonder how many people tried to get their money back?

Did any of you actually have these? What exactly were they? Obviously they weren't really "x-ray" specs, but the company had to send you something. What exactly were these things?

Who is this?

Wow, you think they have enough light up front?

I moved it, no problem. By the way, excellent models!

Nothing worse than a raccoon with a lighter. Those guys are born arsonists...

Neither can I!

And speaking of Nick Lowe... again, technically not a band, but I just love this song. And even though I was never a fan of music videos, this is one I actually like.

Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe got together and formed Rockpile in about 1980 or so. It didn't last, they only put out two albums, but they were good.

Exactly.

Hobby Lobby. Or online.

I think it might have just been before my time. Wasn't the Doo Wop thing big in the early/mid '50s? I wasn't around yet...

I won't try to argue your point. All I'm saying is, as a lifelong radio-listening Chicagoan, Doo Wop was never in the mix as far as I knew. The two big powerhouse AM stations I listened to as a kid were both 50,000 watt "blow torches" that could be heard throughout the midwest–WLS AM 890 and WCFL AM 1000. They both played top 40 exclusively. Motown was big. Beatles/Stones were big. Local bands like the Buckinghams, Cryan Shames, Ides of March were big. Doo Wop was never played. Like I said, might have been a "before my time" thing, so I would have been totally unaware.

Wow! Those are really nice!

Chess Records was the Blues as far as I knew. I grew up in the city, and believe me, Doo Wop was never big. Never got airplay, Chicago radio in the 60s was strictly Top 40. If Doo Wop was big here, I would undoubtedly been exposed to it at some point, as I listened to the radio all the time. Maybe it was a bit before my time? Could be... but growing up here, it was never on my radar at all.

Why would anyone think to use epoxy as a clear coat?

Hmmm..... interesting topic for sure, but me? Never a doo-wop fan. It always seemed to me to be a more Noo Yawk/Joizy/east coast thing. Never big here in Chicago.

I agree on the Beatles. Best band ever, period. And I also was surprised that the Who didn't get a lot more mentions. Personally I've never liked them aside from maybe 2-3 songs, but they are huge! (not to me, of course...).

Embossing powder looks much more like in-scale carpeting. No car has carpeting that looks like what you get with flocking.

You're such a name dropper...

Yes. In fact I posted a Yardbirds song with Jimmy Page on lead guitar earlier.
