Guest zebm1 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 to have their "Coming Out" Parties. I'd be willing to bet that any red-blooded American male and perhaps a few from beyond our borders would love to bring these Ladies out into tha world. But, yall will have to figure out their bloodlines, whilst they allow tha briefest glances...... this young lady hopes to be a Bonneville Babe..... and her Fraternal Twin.... an' their cuzin..... an' their best freind...... having a hard time keeping tha spittle from collecting at tha corners, yall? Can I interest yall in sum MCM Bibs? :twisted: Zeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
455 Rocket Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 The first two are 64 Cutlasses. The second is a 66 (?) Buick. The last is a 64(?) Merc. I have a model of the 64 Cutlass hardtop. I found it on e-bay for $30 about a year ago. In fact, the one I bought was used as the master for a resin bodied 442, but I never found out which resin caster built it. I'm in the process of restoring my real 64 Cutlass. The plan is to build a replica of my real car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullauto-1966 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 factor from your posts. I love your models, but the wording makes it hard to read what in blazes you are trying to say. I mean a little is funny, but come on...Please don't take this as an insult, I just would like to be able to read your posts with out a translator. Thanks.

Guest zebm1 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I used common American English...only Southern terms are cuzin and sum, but I guarantee that all of tha other words are in Webster's and the sentence structure is as we were all taught. Noun-->verb<--modifier and object. whilst=Olde English for while Fraternal twins=born at the same time, but not from the same egg cuzin-cousin sum=some spittle= drool, sentence ends with corners (object to be understood) as in corners of the mouth MCM=acronym for Model Cars Magazine Bibs=we all wore them for a couple to many years, depending on each's ability, to catch tha drool Ifn I can be of further assistance in the translation, please don't hesitate to ask. :twisted: Zeb Models are in order of appearence: 1964 Olds Cutlass F85 convertible 1964 Olds Cutlass F85 hardtop 1964 Buick Wildcat (rare) convertible 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 Sport Coupe all are AMTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62rebel Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 while Zeb's dialect may be .... eclectic.... it beats the heck out of urbanized text-english. i'm a born backwoods Va boy myself and was raised among well-educated although country folk, and reading Zeb's prose is almost like sitting in on a gathering of uncles from home (most of whom held doctorates in education) while they discussed their collective past. one uncle made it clear to me as a young fellow that you could have an education and still not be able to communicate.

ViperDave Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 455 was right about the first 2. 64 Cutlass's. The third one is a 64 Buick Wildcat, and the last one is a 64 Fairlane sport coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62rebel Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i love those custom tonneau covers; i used to lop off the roof on any (!) kind of car to put that "bonneville" look to it. love a bubbletop kit too; but usually section the bubble down to make a roadster out of it. man i need to get a digital camera... i have two different predicta models and club de mer restyled my way; i transplanted the custom grille and bumper from the AMT 56 victoria onto the predictas and smoothed over the club de mer adding rollbar/headrests from another kit. the predicta always looked mooshed down at the front; giving it a wide open grille mouth made it look more "sharkish". that custom grille must have been used on a real 1:1 car, but i've never seen it in any books or magazines. i wonder who built the real thing?
