The perfect gift among the "more money than brains" set. Nice car, looks good... but is it worth $75,000? Not to me it ain't!

Nice car for sure... but to my eye that spoiler looks very tacky. It looks too much like an afterthought, doesn't flow or complement the styling of the car.

Yeah, it sure does! Seeing this model brings back some very happy childhood memories...

No way! The TV Batmobile from the '60s is the best ever!

When I was a kid, the guy who lived across the alley had a black '64, just like this. He was out there every Saturday washing and waxing that car... I thought it looked so cool!

Here are some cool 4-doors I'd like to see in kit form...

Are you talking scale model or the real deal?

Well, that's different!

I still don't get the chili joke...

The current generation Viper is being discontinued, the new Viper will come out as a 2012 model.

Only one correct answer so far! Time for a hint. It's an American car.

Posting the photo was a bad move, but the topic in general was perfectly valid.

Too much tiramisu? BTW... welcome home, man!

Very sharp and clean. I like it!

Where have you been? I've posted all sorts of builds in the past! Yes, cars too!

Finally! Somebody with the right answer!

I assume you mean that the foil isn't as shiny as real chrome, which of course it's not. The matte aluminum will look even worse, as it has a dull finish that looks nothing like chrome plating. BMF also makes an "Ultra Chrome" that's shinier than their regular chrome foil, but the one and only time I used it, it wouldn't stick. Don't know if they've fixed the problem by now or not.

Very nice! And your photos are also top notch. Great work...

Geez, Chuck, I only posted that one about 5 pages ago...

Remember... don't post any hints or answers here. PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 1920 Jordan Playboy

Yes, that's true. Personally I don't care one way or the other... I have no interest in either a stock or custom version of this car. I'm just playing devil's advocate...

I think the basic "complaint" is this: it's a lot easier to build a custom/hot rod/street rod starting with a stock kit than the other way around. After all, just about everyone has the custom and speed parts in their parts box or stash to "hot rod" a stock kit... but how many rep stock builders have the parts on hand needed to build a stock version of this kit? By offering a "custom only" model kit, the rep stock builders have been shut out. I know that the decision to offer a custom-only kit was based on projected/anticipated sales, and I can't argue with that decision from a business standpoint... but to release a new kit that right off the bat excludes a certain segment of modelers is going to raise some objections. Again, it's a calculated business decision and I understand that... but along with that decision you're going to get a certain percentage of unhappy modelers.

Thanks, Lee! Yeah, the rigging was a real project in and of itself, but worth the hassle.
