Has anyone ever figured out what any of the Kardashians really do that makes them so well known. I mean anything truly productive contributors to society as a whole.

Very impressive paint finish. The exterior weathering looks very real to me.

Great looking build. Very nice paint finish. That is quite a trailer hitch you have there.

Great looking paint and detailing. I like how you put the Flame Decals under the hood.

I can see where you spent your extra time with the Engine detailing. Looks like time well spent. Very clean looking build and I like the old time Keystone Wheels.

I always wondered if there was a real "Miss Deal" that the kit was based on. The basic concept looks the same.

All foolishness aside you have to wonder what types of materials were used to create this Publicity Mobile. Inquiring Minds need to know what Chassis was used. What types of inner structure was used ? Most importantly are there any freshly roasted hand outs.

In addition to the points made by Ace I think this may be a case of what used to be called "Over Carburation". IE. there is more fuel going to the engine than the engine can burn efficiently. This "Shade Tree Engineering" I think may be based on the engine option offered by Plymouth on their Valiant that was used in NASCAR's Compact Racing Series in the early sixties. The Chrysler Engineers designed a single four barrel Carburetor long Ram type Manifold. This placed a Carter AFB series Carburetor almost to the driver side inner fender. This was for their 225 cu in engine which was also offered at one time with an Aluminum Engine Block. I think I remember seeing this very car offered by a Dealer on E Bay some time ago. The Wagon was a pretty clean looking rig as I recall.

You had the good fortune to own some very nice cars. Most people would "Kill" to have a red '55 Bel Air in High School. I'll have to look around for some pictures of my old Jalopies.

Very clean build and definitely a Day 2 car. I noticed the Metal Flake Steering Wheel and the long Shackles. I remember the Mufflers dangling from the Collectors on the Headers. A MoPar at that time wasn't a MoPar without Cragers .

I enjoy seeing what some modelers are doing with the Slant Six. I like the Turbo idea.

I would save the Trans Am as you never know when that body may come in handy. Just buy a box of plastic spoons at the market. This will give you something to test paint on for a long time and cost next to nothing.

I seriously looked at the Pump and tried to figure out just how I would do it and not remove the front of the body to get to it. I couldn't get my hand in there with it flat let alone turn a ratchet or any other tool.

Beautiful looking build. Very clean sharply detailed all the way thru. The colors you used give it a very rich appearance.

In all fairness to the dealer when the Water Pump went out on the Charger I had them replace it. This is a job I have done countless number of times on just about every make of car, at least US cars since that is all that is in my driveway, My hats off to anyone who can change this Water Pump .

You sure that's not the real car ? I, like so many others, watched your build and the effort you put into this. Until the picture with your hand in it, it is imposable to tell it from the 1:1.

Your interior looks fine. The contrasting color on the seat inserts was common on these cars depending on how much Sun they were exposed too. I like the Carpeting you did.

Have our '10 Charger serviced at the selling dealer on a regular bases. Cheaper than if I bought my own Oil and Filter and then got ride of the old stuff plus I don't get dirty. The Service Writer told be the Battery checked out weak in there Inspection Report. This was a couple of years ago. The great flat cold state of Kansas is having another record 0 Degree type Winter and no problems yet. I know it's the OEM Battery and it will die someday but for now I'm waiting to see just how long it will last. Same dealer serviced our '09 Wrangler and wanted to replace the Radiator cap $26.00 and the rear Window Wiper for an additional $45.00. Drove up the street to an Auto Parts Store and got a new Cap and Wiper installed didn't even get my hands dirty for $25.00. I know the Dealer has to make a profit but lets be serious.

I can see advantages both for this NEW gate or the conventional style depending on what it is you are using the truck for. I may be mistaken but I think it was Lincoln a few years ago that had something like this on their Black Wood Pretty Truck model. My personal choice would be the conventional tail gate, but I could see someone who only used their truck as if it was a big car with an open trunk could get excited over this.

Very realistic looking weathering.

The interior looks great. I agree that AMT didn't really pay attention to the way GM would have had the A/C compressor positioned, but you made it all look good anyway.

You might want to check at an Auto Parts Store for what we used to call a "fish eye" for your side view mirrors. They are usually a peal and stick type of an attachment for the side view mirrors and give you a much wider field of vision.

Very impressive looking. I followed your build and you made it look perfect.

Very clean looking build. Makes me wish we could see the interior also. Extensive engine room detailing. Did the Air Conditioning Compressor and all of the hoses come in the kit or did you create all of that ??

You build turned out far better looking than all the horror stories I have heard about this kit. Looks like a nice baseline body style and not the Super De Lux we 're used to seeing.
