The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I grabbed one of those transitionals today too. The paint is almost all gone, but there's no weathering to the body. I've never seen an almost paintless diecast that hadn't seen at least some weathering/corroding, but this one is perfect. I don't even need to strip it (just need to scrape a tiny bit of paint off the front)! |

Let's see some pictures! If the AMC Matador is the one I'm thinking of (Summer) there are three or four different casting variations. |

Y'know I'm doing my Mercedes Limo? It's absolutely jaw-droppingly awesome, I've just put the first layer of signwriting on it

That's one hot Chevette. Probably the first time 'hot' and 'Chevette' have been used in the same sentence. Was the driver okay? |

Yeah, luckily he managed to get out alright - incidentally the driver of that car is the team mate of the driver who had the huge Humber wreck

What a horrible casting! Falls into the same category as my Chevy Nomad and Pontiac Parisienne |

I've noticed that on ebay the banger models that always fetch good prices are usually Bears or Stinkbridge cars :wacko: : |

I probably will get round to doing a Bears Volvo at some point, the complicated paint job puts me off somewhat though |

Those are also larger scale cars- it's a lot easier to get something right in that scale as opposed to 1/64. |

It's a Chrysler 180, the one I found at the autojumble last week. It's going to make an awesome banger |

Let's not get involved in flame wars on another board. How would we like it if they came over here, or to Ovalchat? |

Honestly, I can't see wasting the time or energy trying. We're talking about a group of hypocrits- willing to buy all the parts they need off of banger drivers, but who then criticize using the junkers on the track. If these cars had any worth they wouldn't be going to the track in the first place. Besides, these cars would otherwise just be weighed in anyway, so what's it matter if they're raced first, or crushed without anyone knowing about it? Sadly, they can't see that. And by posting anything there you're just going to incite them further and add more fuel to the :flamewar: |
