That's...impressive.

If I build everything I have, I'll be about 140. Gives me something to live for.

Yup yup yup. And the guts from the ancient Aurora/Revell kit can be tricked out and swapped in as well. Yes, I know it's nominally 1/25, but there are ways to compensate... It looks like the new kit's body proportions are EDIT: might be good (though there's something about the windshield...), so it's a decent start for anyone who wants a stock DB5. The greasy bits of the DB4 and 5 are very similar visually, so the old kit shown above is a viable source fer innards.

Round tanks aft of the running boards made from 1/2" Plastruct tube, PVC, or even old ballpoint ben barrels.

Nice proportions, not too radical on the chop, good choices on the rest of the custom mods. I like it.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their qwertyuiop.

Which I did for you. Bottom of this page from the Rivera Owners Association states that '63 was the only year the Riv had a silver engine. https://rivowners.org/features/evolution/evpt63.html

The OP asked specifically about '63 Riviera engines. Interesting that AACA members seem to think '63 Riv engines were silver. Note I'm NOT arguing, just saying it's interesting...and suggesting that further research to find a definitive answer might be in order. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/243125-silver-engine-color-for-a-1963-riviera/

The vid of the Jag XJ13 starting and working through some winding roads Matt Bacon kindly provided a link to. Biggest smile I've had in weeks.

Thank you, sir. Sometimes I almost forget why I love machines so much. But to see and hear this glorious beast doing what it was intended to do, especially after having been almost destroyed and then lovingly rebuilt, brings it all back.

I've never bought a kit I didn't intend to build, or at least pirate parts from to build something else, but reality has had a serious negative effect on my ability to accomplish much of anything not work-or-sundry-other-complicated-problem-related for a while now. My acquisitions are vastly outpacing my hobby-bench time...but they allow me to enjoy at least one part of the hobby until I get certain complex aspects of my life sorted...or until the world ends, or until I just fall off my perch.

"Surprised" considerably understated my reaction when I saw an eBay seller had voluntarily refunded part of a shipping charge that wasn't exorbitant in the first place.

Album versions of songs were often quite different from the singles released for radio play.

Fine little bike. Looks great. Polished metal finish on the engine is particularly nice.

Great information. Thanks. I need to hunt down the K&R XJ-6. I have a very few English kits in 1/24, only one I can recall at the moment being a C-type Jag. Monogram did some metal-body kits with well-detailed plastic innards, a Jag 120, MG TC, '56 T-bird, maybe more. They build up very well with a little extra effort, and Monogram released the same kits with styrene bodies.

Of politicks ye shall not speake.

Long johns can be the difference between shivering all night and getting some decent rest.

Pretty baby. Really beautiful machine and model both.

I'm like heem.

If you really really want to print parts, fine, but you know...there are '59 Pontiac kits out there. Not cheap, but sometimes fairly reasonable if you wait. Here's one... https://www.ebay.com/itm/285419613841 There's diecast in 1/24 as well...like this Danbury Mint version for under $200. Another option would be to buy either of these, take the dimensions you need directly from the parts, or make silicone molds to cast resin parts. Then sell the model on for most likely more than you paid for it. Just a thought...

Dash-dot-dot-dot means "B" in Morse code.

[Guess you missed the part about this being the "One Sentence Game". Hmmmmm...]

Commute via tele and you can stay in your jammies, lie on the sofa, get DoorDash to bring you your eats, and produce pretty much nothing all day and still get paid.
