The model all the kids wish they had.

Full size model

A couple weeks ago I started to build a model of the 1958 Impala from the movie American Graffiti.


Well I never actually completed the model because I remembered what I figured out along time ago. I don't have the patience, nor the nimbleness (apparently that's a real word) in my fingers to accomplish building a simple model that was designed for kids age ten and up.

Some of the guy's over at flatheadv8.org do have the patience to put together a model and decided they would build a full scale model. So they built a gigantic X-Acto knife, 3 foot bottles of Testor's paint, those plastic dealies with all the parts attached and the body of a 1940 Ford body. It's almost enough to make me want to go home and finish building my model of the car that is "better then Darryl Starbird's Superfleck Moon Bird!"

Head on over to flatheadv8.org see more pictures of bitchin' model.
