"Boat" is what sports-car guys used to call huge, softly-sprung, wallowing American cars.

Accounts like dis: wun, too, tree, fo, fibe, sis, seben, ate, niin, ten, zee-row.

"Important information is important, especially if it's important to someone it's important to, which is really important to us as we examine the very important overall scheme of evaluating what is important and what's not so important, and it's important to remember that you can't overstate the importance of importance" said a well known public figure of spectacular intellectual ability.

Well, like, nobody knows how to turn it on 'cause there's no app for it. ?

Pretty cool. And there's enough info to scratch-build one for those so motivated. Thanks.

Looks good to me. Lotsa these things live in a salt-spray environment, and that doesn't do much to keep 'em pretty. The munitions look clean and new, the canopy's clean and clear...pretty much on-target.

Presence in the moment and situational awareness go a long way towards preventing ever having to utter the phrase "the car wrecked".

Vague instructions don't much bother guys who know cars in reality.

Nice to see Ferrari win again. Thanks for the link.

Part of your problem is that the steering linkage on the model is kinda kludgey, and takes up more space than it does in reality. The big-block pan in the kit may have been creatively "adjusted" by the kit designers to compensate. This photo, sourced from a build on this forum by doorsovdoon, shows what I mean...

I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE, BUT, as the smallblock Chevy V8 was a standard engine option in that chassis, I'd think there wouldn't be anything special about the oil pan. If the engine and steering linkage are in the right place, the garden variety smallblock rear-sump pan would most likely fit fine.

I've used Rub 'n Buff materials to good effect on occasion. After buffing, it's not sparkly like metallic paint. Real brass isn't either. Here's some samples...

Thanks fer the link. I entirely fergot it was this weekend.

Or speak out against irrationality, depravity, lawlessness, and double-standards and risk being canceled. That's why so many just shut up and keep their heads down, while everything runs off the rails. Gutlessness isn't a particularly attractive characteristic, but it sure is a popular one.

Humor and sarcasm are lost on some...

Very interesting project. I'm wondering how you're intending to heat-form a clear plastic part over a plastic part, without getting distortion of the form. I would probably opt to make a high-temp epoxy/f'glass copy of the roof panel to use as a form, but I tend towards overkill in most things.

Game-playing within interpersonal relationships is ultimately destructive.

If this doesn't make you laugh, you're beyond hope.
