Like - The fact that many of the Cars I want to build (Road Racers from the Early 60's - the mid 70's) were manufactured either in Plastic or Resin
Hate - Although manufactured, most are LONG out of production and in many cases cost as much or more than a 18 year old bottle of Mcallan Scotch.
Mike, I didn't konw that. Gonna have to look'em up, Thanks for the info. I did know 'bout the Bufflao Springfield and Poco. Oh and Lee, I honestly didn't know "Your Momma Don't Dance" Had Been covered
You picked an interesting one there Harry. A stolen song (some say twice stolen!). First by the Yardbirds and then hauled off to the Lead Guitar Player Jimmy Page's next Group.
I was gonna send this via private mail but couldn't

The Scarab was fully built under Reventlow's ownership. He sold it because of Tax issues not Death. He died in '72. Accuracy in the Kit is at best limited as it shares it's "Chassis" with a Ferrari kit, but seeing as it's Curbside that's no biggie.
I still haven't given up. I now know the instruments were all right of the Steering Wheel on the #77 version. There's also 2 Books that Preston Lerner wrote on the Scarabs (might be the same book with 2 different titles)
Ace - there's several shots of the Engine out there. Your choices are Buick Naihead or Small Block Chevy, both with side draft Webers. The only other veriation is screen on the intake vents which seems to be a later version option.

I'd like to see some period pictures of the interior of the Midengined Scarab from the Early/Mid 60's if anyone has some. I've wandered the Web and came up dry................
But will they still be seen, when time and tides have been?
