Oopsie doopsie. Lotsa journalism could benefit from editorial review by people who were truly "expert" in the respective field.

Exactly. Full of electric unicorns.

You, sir, are a master of understatement.

Look around. I'd say a lot of women have more testosterone than a lot of today's young men.

Pretty much sums up the majority of humanity's problems right now.

It'll go in a 1:1 model just fine. Didn't we have a discussion about "how big is too big etc. etc." recently?

I just bought a real 289 bored .060" over, complete except for cam and lifters, for $800. I think I got a better deal.

Bad little Bug. Nicely done.

Hungarian sauerkraut and pork. Paprika and sour-creamy goodness, with warm buttered black bread and a Guinness Stout. Heaven. https://www.food.com/recipe/hungarian-sauerkraut-pork-67840

Nicely executed drawing, cool concept. Sure wish I didn't already have more 1-1s than I'll probably have time for, 'cause I fer sure would jump on that '62.

You're welcome sir. Good luck with your project.

Guess you didn't look very hard. https://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/amt-r2-pp-011.htm Here's 8... https://www.ebay.com/itm/363326164976?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D240035%26meid%3Db24c97fc1e214946bdaa4da96b40bdb2%26pid%3D101112%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D24%26sd%3D363035148550%26itm%3D363326164976%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2563228%26algv%3DPersonalizedV1_7%26brand%3DAMT&_trksid=p2563228.c101112.m1982&amdata=cksum%3A363326164976b24c97fc1e214946bdaa4da96b40bdb2|enc%3AAQAHAAABAKvVpLM%2FL%2FYbyLgq7kTmGAbTKvfRC37L7RsEaNsGmmugQnp7BvAz6QdnXnaB8mAKbooaiBkp8W2XobG%2FdixSSvVUIPy8AopB4NhB6PAuiX776Cu3CM%2Ff8ItxQHc%2FE344hVzVgeh72VdHnihCCwEAqUnnFbS3lWkIMsmq1Oi%2FxRlPNJoYP5MlEMGbbCvUX4QhsGpWC6EBxMHck1sJ8gnrGOBw9ZvjT1L83KIIJ5KRYGUvbejS7Z7M44ALW8LgwxAVg6x8KpPRAUVNx5G%2FlbP2ITa2bV1pHtPYGBTXEOaujq3zv%2FTPXElF5A5WlItrW7fdOf3Md%2Fbgwf2pb7dTxC6O%2BH0%3D|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2563228&epid=1749729984

Then you have the Revell kit. AMT and Revell are not the same.

The AMT parts-pack 421 has a 2X4 manifold. Part #117.

Several of your junkers look to have been recovered from the holds of sunken ships. Pretty cool.

People often ask for how-tos on casting parts and bodies, and in the past I've posted links to some of the most relevant sites. Unfortunately, you kinda have to know something about the process to know what's good info, and what applies to you. I've prototyped and cast lotsa product-presentation parts in the past, and I have a lot of experience making things from a variety of composite materials, but never anything exactly like a thin-section model car body. As I'll be getting into it shortly, I took the time to watch many YT videos to see what's new, best procedures, etc. Also unfortunately, YouTube has loads of idiots showing how to do everything wrong. The TWO BEST VIDEOS I've seen so far, pretty much everything you need to know to make HIGH QUALITY bodies, are linked below. One uses materials from Polytek, which I've used extensively for other applications and can attest to as being first-rate. The other uses Smooth-On products, familiar to most resin casters. EDIT: And once you've achieved that perfect 3D-printed body, you can make as many copies as you like using a possibly more cost-effective (and definitely faster) process.

Haven't ever seen that color before. I've been looking for something unusual for my real '74 S hot-rod build, but something I could live with every day. Hmmmmm...

Nice clean work.

Very well done tutorial.

New question at the drive-through: "you want flies with that?"

Do you have access to a lathe? That'd be the quickest, cleanest way. You'd have to grind your own cutting tool, but that's SOP in the real world.

Beautiful model from the real golden age of motorsport.

Hey man, don't worry. If a certain element get their way, the wealthy who MADE their own money will be taxed out of existence. There's a type of personality who, when asked if they'd prefer to live in a society where SOME people were rich but nobody ever starved, or in a society where EVERYONE was so poor they had to eat bugs, they choose the latter in the name of "equity". These people are called "useful idiots". Their overlords, on the other hand, will still have the Rollers and champagne and caviar and private jets. They just won't have actually EARNED any of it.
