Wow! Another beauty! No fair.. you have 2 and I don't have any!!!

Maybe in the next issue!

That turned out nice! The paint looks very good. I've been looking for that kit for years, but every time I find one the price is too high. I guess I have to keep looking.

The Model Cars contest issue is the February/March issue.

It's all about trying to pass off new as original. To a car collector, originality is everything. To pass off something new (a newly manufactured reproduction Model A body) as being "original," that is... the same body shell that Ford put on it back on the day the car was first manufactured, is unethical. So is swapping or recreating VIN tags. It's all about intent to deceive.

Here's a place where you can buy a completely finished, brand new "55 Chevy." http://www.1955chevybody.com/body_options.htm

People have been building clones and outright fakes and trying to pass them off as "real" for a long time. The availability of these bodies doesn't change things much. As long as there are aftermarket replacement parts, people will continue to try and rip off other people. It's human nature...

You've already answered your own question.

That's cool...

"Fair and Balanced"...

Hey Cranky... glad I could help out on this one!

Click on the OTHER nagazines you'll never see...

I agree. Metalflakes in 1/25 scale would be invisible.

I don't know if those are real or not, but they're pretty clever.

Make sure you keep the electrical current in scale!

Final vote: 43 REAL, 13 MODEL. You're right... it's REAL! PS: Remember... the object here is to look at the photo and try to guess whether the car is real or not. The object is NOT to find out the answer by searching for the photo!

Nothing to apologize for there... it looks fantastic!

All we need to do is get a finalized list from Christian, then he sets up a poll. We all vote, we tally up the votes and we see what the top requested kits are.

I can't make any sense out of his chicken scratch handwriting...

Nice! But that "magic floating alternator"...

If we keep expanding the list of "most wanteds," pretty soon we'll have every car ever made on it! So... what's the point? I mean, besides amusing ourselves, I guess...

I think you're going to have to figure out a way to make the hood on the Chevelle close...

Yes! That's the whole point of what we do here! Debate, chat, BS, exchange ideas and opinions, etc. It's all good!
