    The roof over the windshield and doors is stupid high too, too flat, too square-edged (particularly on the panel), the windshield shape is wrong, the hood needs a mild sectioning job to look right...among other things, like yes, correcting the curve at the front lower edge and fenders as you mentioned.

    Excellent. I'll be using that, for sure. "...and we have you tied up in so many knots there's not a damm thing you can do about it."

    Here's a couple of built AMT '53s:

    The AMT kit is really very nice. I don't know what you're referring to as a "weak" chassis, but there's nothing wrong with it. The engine and gearbox are just fine too. I like the Revell kit, but it's considerably more challenging with the opening doors.

    Got heem.
  6. Ace-Garageguy
    Very ambitious, and looking good so far.
  7. Ace-Garageguy
    VERY nice. Every time I think I'm done buying models, along comes an inspiring build like this.
  8. Ace-Garageguy
    Yes, it's not just for breakfast anymore.
  9. Ace-Garageguy
    At least there's some redeeming value for that rag...
  10. Ace-Garageguy
    MMMMMM...emu.

    Very nice. Is this 1/24? About 100 years ago, when I was working for Alfa-wizard Paul Spruell in Atlanta, one of his clients ran a TZ on the street occasionally. Those were the days.

    And when some drivers and teams find it necessary to start with the hypocritical virtue-signaling, I look elsewhere for my motorsports fix.
  13. Ace-Garageguy
    Replica and Miniatures has real nice ones too...
  14. Ace-Garageguy
    Exceptional. Perfect color, perfect stance, perfect parts choices.

    If this thing is going to go for a year, I'll give it a shot. Early '50s Studebaker, either a bullet-nose or a Loewy coupe, or maybe a '60s Lark.

    Geez...half my kingdom for a woman who not only isn't terrified of "excessive" speed, but who can wring a machine out all by herself. I didn't know they ever made those... EDIT: well, 'cept for Patty Wagstaff and Danica.
  17. Ace-Garageguy
    Or this...
  18. Ace-Garageguy
    Indeed.

    That's what choo get when you lock 12 tool-wielding monkeys in the barn for a month with a junk Jag, some random parts, and a 55 gallon drum of bondo.

    Most of the news media and most of their subject matter... EDIT: And the emotional and intellectual age of a large part of their audience...

    Interesting thread. They're running It's a Wonderful Life here at a restored 1935 theater all day December 21. I went a few years back, will probably go this year. 'Bout as close to time travel as you can get at the moment...

    On the inline 2X4 manifold, the threaded hole for the brake booster vacuum line fitting is to the right, which is the rear of the engine, passenger side runner. Single 4bbl manifolds have the port in the same place:

    Not if it remains free of gossip, conjecture, and general negativity.
  24. Ace-Garageguy
    Which intake manifold? On a 2X4 inline manifold, it's a fitting at the inboard end of the last runner on the passenger side:

    Ummm...do we have to be vaccinated to play?
