  1. Why? Why do left lane sitters go slower than right lane drivers until you move to pass them? Then they think it's a drag race. Last night getting off of the freeway as we pulled into the right lane to exist this driver, I just past doing well under the speed limit, suddenly thinks he needs to speed up to cut me off. When I started to signal that I was moving over I could see the entire front end of his car in my rear-view mirror, so it wasn't like I was trying to cut him off. I have gotten on a local three lane highway and stayed in the far-right slow lane, set the cruise at 75 mph, I know the limit is 70 mph, but the far-left lane is going 80 mph plus. The point is the drivers in the center lane are going 60 to 65 mph. I'll drive at 5 mph over the posted limit for about 15 miles to where we get off and never have to speed up or slow down. I have tried to stay to the left as required of faster moving traffic but I'm having to move back and forth between the left and center lane to allow the faster traffic to go by. The beauty of multi lane highways is that traffic traveling at different speeds can use the same roadway without interfering with the flow of traffic. The secret is that as the traffic laws state, slower moving traffic should stay to the right.
  2. Sad but true.
  3. Great job replication the movie vehicle. Beautiful looking paint finish on both the body and interior.
  4. Like the flames and the Street Rod look. Great looking engine and chassis detailing.
  5. Great looking interior and body color combination.
  6. While it was a '56, there was a Crown Victory that a class mat inherited from his Grand Parents when we were in high school. The car was an all-red body and red and white interior with the wire wheel hub cap setup. This had to be the best-looking car in the student parking lot.
  7. Great looking show field. Have owned a few C-10's in the past and still regret selling them.
  8. This is something one of the model companies should consider offering.
  9. Amazing looking build. Well beyond my skill set.

    51 Chevy

    Your build still looks fresh, and the colors represent the somber palette that Chevrolet had at the time. Well done chrome trim.
  11. Great looking type 1. Good looking color and finish. Like the added spare wheel and tire.
  12. Love the "ridden hard and put away wet look." Looks like it may have been parked near the coast and facing west.
  13. You may fear cutting up a kit, but the secret is making it look like something someone would do. Like the finishes and the colors used.
  14. Great looking convertible. Like the stance and the wheels and tires.
  15. Beautiful looking color and finish. Cleanly detailed looking from every angle.
  16. I also like the paint colors. They look very much like an optional color scheme that Ford had offered but was not often seen.
  17. Great job extending the roof and getting the overfall look of the four-door sedan body style. Great looking paint finish and chrome trim. Like the Injector Stacks and the right-hand drive.
  18. Beautiful looking paint and the stripes and interior color looks great. Much like an "Indy Pace Car" but a shade darker.
  19. Beautiful looking paint finish and color on both builds. The custom body work on the roadster looks very possible as a real car.
  20. Had the same problem with the shock tower cover on the earlier Charger I built some time ago. Found the instructions had the part numbers switched from side to side. They are shaped a little differently, and looking at your under-hood picture this may be the same issue.
  21. Great looking interior detailing.
  22. Great looking paint and chrome trim.
  23. Great looking paint color. Like the "smooth" look without the body trim.
  24. Please post any pictures of the show you may take.
