You two need to go into the car biz

Killer design

Killer build

[Plasticfanatic]

Simply SUPERB AND MAGNIFICENT!!! This are the type of projects that show how personal ideas on design,techick and execution can become a reality in a beutiful scale model.

Can't wait to see these models finished!!!!

Hey buddy, thanx for the magnets

those little things have a lot of energy...did you ever find the ones that shot off your bench when I was playin' with'em?

Yeah...I found it...but I haven't figured out how to get it out of the wall that its stuck in

Later,

Curt, I'm very impressed with this model I want to steal everything you did and build one of my own. But so far I have none of the parts you scrounged or bought or ??? Soooooo, I'll just have to watch as you finish it. Besides, this should stay as a one-of-a-kind! I'm just seeing it for the first time tonight, and I keep switching back and forth between pictures #1, #3, and #'s 6&7 on the first page. Great work, really great work. I love it! Gary

I've got to bump this again, based on my last post.

What's the deal with no rear window?

I gave some thought to putting a split rear window in but chickened out.

I rather like the way it looks w/o a rear window

The finished car will have dual outside mirrors, so a center rear view mirror would not be required - thus don't need a rear window

besides who'd wanna back this beast up anyway...

i love it man great work just wondering were can i get a Allison? from

Revell currently has a "Parts Pack" Engine kit available, in which you can find the Allison along with a few other engines

do not have model kit # available, but I'm sure if ya go looking on Revells website you can find it.

Well, I think a split rear window like the Bugatti Atlantic or the Cord Beverly/Westchester makes more sense. Otherwise, this seems like more of a curiosity than a true car, where I thought it was going. Sorry.

I thought it was so cool that this could exist in a 1:1 world, but without the rear window I can only see it as a trailer queen show car.
