TeeJay Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I wish someone would take a Beretta and shoot half the fargin' idiots on these boards...that come up with idiotic notions based on a movie.....Dad...Dad.....I wanna Bumblebee car.....awww.....please Dad......c;mon....Dad....I'll be good I promise.....! Festive greetings to one and all....! Well, you're not talking about me, as I'm not asking my dad to buy me one For what it's worth, whatever car I bought, be it a BMW, Camaro, or a Skyline, they would all wind up getting converted (by me) into a replica of a car that was someway related to a movie or video game, as I am a collector of all kinds of movie memorabelia, and a car would be a logical inclusion for that collection. If anyone has (or knows where I can get) one of the Kim Cattrall mannequins (from the movie of the same name) that is also something I want to add to the collection. As long as that meets with TTKs approval, of course. Festive greetings and bah humbugs as appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 You need a hobby son....or a burd.....one or the other.....! I have a hobby - Collecting movie memorabelia. I have a 'burd' too, thanks. Maybe you're the one who needs a new hobby or a trade-in on your 'burd', if ragging people on an online forum is the best you're getting on a sunday afternoon.

Anyway, if you need anything from Miami, let me know. Let's see if I can do better with cars, than I can with straps. As Ned Kelly said, "Such is life..." Thanks. When the time comes and I have the cash, if you could start gathering classified ads from the local papers, that would be great hey TJ back to cars, this one is not far from me but is not cheep but 90% what you want That's an awesome find, and indeed, very close to what I want. I was prepared to re-spray the entire car, but just color-matching the hood would definitely be easier. Now all I need is the cash for it This is a long-term project, so all in good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 From experience with bikes, anything is possible, just what it cost some times makes it hard to obtain. just look at what Chip Foose does, but it costs for the know how for some one to do it for you. When i build a bike i work out what i want and then learn to do it, i do every thing except paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i build a bike i work out what i want and then learn to do it, i do every thing except paint. This is very true. Foose is one of my artistic heroes, and I really admire his work. The only thing I'm thinking, with the paint, would be accurately re-creating the appearance of a 30+ year old paint job, rather than just slapping a 'pristine' coat of paint on a less than pristine body I'm sure the project will work itself out somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'm sure the project will work itself out somehow I have been following this thread, and admire your upbeat approach TeeJay. Go for it! Personally (having had an awsomely unforgettable ride in one) I woud opt for the earlier shark nosed Z28 (if cash were no object)!

Personally (having had an awsomely unforgettable ride in one) I woud opt for the earlier shark nosed Z28 (if cash were no object)! Thanks for the encouragement If it was a case of simply 'getting the best car', then I most likely would I read an article about the movie cars, where it was commented that the 76 was actually the worst year for a Camaro, so from that point of view, I'd think better to look elsewhere, but, as my aim is to replicate the production car, it's a case of making it 'like it was'. The car I'd most be interested in driving, would be the 2009 Camaro Concept rep they made, which was really just a Pontiac GTO, with a shell of a body grafted onto the chassis. I knew that the 'rims' were fakes, and really just 'hubcaps' (if you look at a good quality pic of the wheel, check out the brake discs... No brake callipers ) But apparently, even the windows were non-functioning plexiglass, and what should have been 'soft-touch' interior, was just smooth plastic. In terms of a project, that car really does interest me, way more than the 76, which, other than a few cosmetic alterations, was pretty much a stock car, but the other, definitely comes under the catagory of a 'kit car', so immediately more interesting. Of course, chances of me getting the cash for one of those, short of selling my kidneys, is unlikely, so I've got to have a realistic goal (The bee-otch air fresheners are already on order ) Edited December 31, 2007 by TeeJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
