  1. I know your name for sure. I must know it from another board. Anyway... nice to have you as a member here!
  2. That's a real beauty! However, I would have gone with modern, back-slanted A pillars and not the typical '50ish "wraparound" winsdhield and reverse-slant pillars.
  3. Your profile says you joined today, but I'm sure I know your name. Were you a member here before?
  4. Engine detailing is fantastic! Very nice...
  5. Well, seeing as how this is the New Kit Reviews area, I was sort of expecting a review. No big deal...
  6. ok, now I see a photo... but the review must have been posted with invisible letters! Just going by the photo, it looks like a real nice kit.
  7. I think he's looking for build ideas... custom, stock, whatever. Doesn't really matter whether it's the AMT or Revell kit, does it?
  8. Don't see a photo. Don't see a review. ?????????
  9. What? No exploding Pinto photos yet???
  10. Here's another "Retrovette"...
  11. Dave... give me the '68 over the current car anytime (design-wise)... I know the current car is light years ahead as far as technology, but that '68 looks like a Corvette! Of course, the good news is that neither of us is wrong...
  12. Compared to the '68, today's Corvette is a much less distinctive and more generic looking car... it just doesn't have the presence that the old one does.
  13. Exactly. Which is why Corvette will never appeal to a wide demographic as suggested by Ed. It's not meant to.
  14. At the price a Corvette goes for, your demographic is extremely limited from the start. The only way to widen its appeal would be to chop $20,000 off the MSRP... and that ain't gonna happen!
  15. Styling is subjective, of course... my favorite Corvettes are the first generation (up to '62)... and the '68 "Mako Shark" generation C3. The current generation is nice enough, but sort of bland. It's too smooth, too slick, not much personality. A nice enough car, I guess, but kind of innocuous.
  16. So what do they do for an encore? Hard to improve on "perfection," isn't it??? How do you move forward from "timeless and perfect?" Will the next Corvette be "trendy and mediocre?"
  17. Ditch the scoop and blower and you'd have something...
  18. It looks like a catfish! God, what a mess!
  19. I just looked at the site on both IE and Firefox... looks exactly the same on both. The rollovers (where the car images change) works the same on both for me.
  20. Real or model? The answer: REAL!
  21. I firm e-handshake will do...
