A co-worker had a similar thing going on with his Chevy HHR. He even added spinner hubcaps and fake antennas. I asked him if he got all that stuff from Pep Boys and he said ot since he discovered Amazon and eBay! He got two rolls of chrome pinstripe tape at a clearance and used both rolls to outline his doors and fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Whitney catalogs has some things that were actually worth looking into........ I remember you could order pretty much an entire square body S10 interior, Bikini tops for Jeeps, bed covers and the like. The stuff like running boards with huge lights on them, they could have left out.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckyg1 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 I'm more interested in the cigar, whiskey music bar in the back ground of the second shot. Maybe they can come back later and pick me up. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modeler named mike Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Stopped for gas at a station that shares an entrance with a VW restoration shop. There was also a VW Thing on the lot not in the photos. Looks like they might be a little behind..🤷 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinacar Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 This morning I saw this in downtown Shanghai, China. The sad part is it's probably mostly Chinese parts content! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A modeler named mike Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 One of today's sighting, it was a clean but rough sounding specimen. All it's lacking is a Christmas tree in the bed.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added a set of welded in frame connectors and a driveshaft loop for safety. It was a fun ride but the idiot driver got way to many tickets and the wife was always pitching a fit.. mine looked alot like that one, painted '72 Monte Carlo blue.

Chinacar Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Not a common sight in China...I'm not sure if it was a real HELLCAT, but it had the badging. Sad part is most of the the EV sedans on the road here are quicker... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a powerhouse by 60s, or even today's standards, but still a car with some street cred in the mid 80s. I got beat by one with my 85 Mustang GT, and my 87 LX 5.0. I finally gave in and purchased one. It was not the GLHS, but an 86 GLH. It was a rocket. That was short lived when I traded it in for 87 Grand National, but it was fun.

Mattilacken Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Saw this classic Saab the other day. As well as the TGB 11 that i pass by daily. And then i saw a Sibling, (not often i come across others here in town) and my work Jeep is clearly bigger thanks to suspension lift and bigger tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig that Saab, man; out of all European cars the Saab has to be my favourite, especially the early '49 to '69s; but I may be mildly biased being of Nordic European heritage myself Edited December 9 by Falcon Ranchero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
