  1. Based on one of my old shop manuals, Motor Auto Repair dated 1967, the 413 in the Imperial was offered with two different horsepower ratings. They list one at 340 and the other at 360 hp. Since they both list having the same single 4 bbl carb., compression ratio the only differences maybe the cam timing and or the size of the carb. Any good-looking engine in the correct scale and representing a 383 thru a 426 wedge should work out.
  2. The Charger side panels look a little more finished than without. On the other hand, with the seat alone and the rear inner fenders exposed that could represent a vehicle with rear wheel tubs. Just depends on the nature of the build. That AMT '60 Sunliner is a great kit.
  3. Ya we enjoyed it as well since I'm 6'3". The Charger that we bought to replace the 2010 doesn't offer this and it is no longer an option I was told.
  4. Remember a "Morning Drive Radio Personality" that got fired after repeating a common joke of the time about a Pinto that caught fire when one of the Firestone 500 tires blew and the fuel tank exploded. Seems one of the radio stations main advertisers at that time of day was the local Ford dealer. Guess he didn't have a sense of humor.
  5. Great looking patina finishes. Like the utility camper with rack.
  6. Great looking color combination. The wheels remind me of some chrome steel slotted wheels that were popular.
  7. Beautiful paint finishes and colors. Like the muscle car theme as well.
  8. Beautiful looking trio of builds. Remember following the Thunderbird build. Like the Chevette.
  9. Great looking subjects and beautiful paint colors and finishes.
  10. Great variety of subjects and great looking finishes. Like the Rally Nova. Was the Jeep a diecast or plastic. I did much the same thing with a $10 diecast that I picked up at Walmart.
  11. Like the creativity of these builds and the finishes look great.
  12. Beautiful looking paint finish and the colors work well together. Like the stance.
  13. Great looking builds and the Plymouth is a really well-done gasser. The flat paint finish and the nearly perfect chrome trim looks like something done years ago. The brown Chevy Malibu sedan reminds me of an FBI undercover car, like someone wouldn't recognize this if it was parked up the street from your home in the middle of the night.
  14. Beautiful looking paint color and the finish along with the carbon fiber detailing.
  15. Great looking finishes and all well detailed engines and suspensions.
  16. Beautiful looking paint finishes, and the colors used. Like how you add lighting to your builds.
  17. I bought a new 2010 Dodge Charger RT that had a switch on the left front of the driver's seat cushion bottom that would move the brake and gas pedals back and forth to adjust for the length of a driver's legs. Obviously, nothing new but it was nice since I drive with the seat all the way back. The telescoping steering wheel was also a great aid.
  18. Really cool design and paint work, especially knowing what you had to start with. Enjoyed following your build and like your creativity here.
  19. Great looking body design and beautiful looking wood and paint finish.
  20. Great looking subjects and like the build styles. Beautiful paint work.
  21. Like the different build subjects. Great looking paint finishes and colors.
  22. Beautiful looking paint work and colors. Like the competition models and their detailing. The '32's all look great.
  23. Beautiful looking build and paint work. Like the upgraded wheels & tires along with the engine.
  24. Like the wide variety of subjects and the great looking finishes.
  25. Beautiful looking paint work and like the clean build style.
