    What else are you going to do with bad engine blocks, blown out rear ends, sloppy rod ends? I'd rather see this than melting that stuff down for a Honda anyway.
     
  11. Real Beetles? The volkswagen bug? We have many of those over here too.

    Bob Larivee Sr. commissioned Chuck Miller of Styline Customs to build the VW,the Van, And the Vette versions of the Zingers. The Dune Buggy was built by Steve Tansy.

    Ok, you realize Revel / MPC were sold and the new owners reissued all those models this year right ? You could strike a deal with the new company to use your replicas to promote the "New MPC" (or whatever they call it). But I'll bet you already knew that ...

    Makes him happy, and keeps him off the streets. Better than a heroin habit, and not hurting anyone.

    Fair enough?

    It is called art. Even I make that stuff. Practically purposeless, made from good stuff, too!

    Vans my favorite too! Would love to see a full scale one doin wheelies :D
    And of course Moriaritys collection is amazing. Just like someone else said anything a gearhead would want.
    Props for the Zinger! and how do i find the hot wheels-ish scale ones? are they findable?
    I have a hot wheels collection and those would be a great add on!
