Well, there was that terribly racist episode where they made fun of the visiting Englishman, but apparently "we all can't be perfect"!

Offendaphobic that's a good one. I nominate that for a new word in the Webster's Dictionary. CNN used to be a great news network way back in the day now it's become way too biased like Fox News.

Just to remind y'all: YES, they used a '74 Roadrunner which appeared in 5 of the first 9 episodes, then beginning with episode 11 they switched to a '71 Satellite Sebring in a Roadrunner paint scheme, hoping nobody would notice (we did). Some prefer the '74; personally I prefer the '71, finding it much sleeker and meaner looking with the wraparound bumper/grill assembly. Base kit is the Revell/Monogram '71 Plymouth GTX. Modifications include: -Replacement hood -Smaller-block engine (from 71 Duster) -Completely rebuilt & boosted rear suspension -Replacement tires -Wheel hubs from '77 Ford van Additionally, all GTX logos were removed (not easy on the grill); headlights made from sanded/polished acrylic gemstones; engine bay heavily wired and detailed; scratchbuilt steering wheel, CB radio and antenna; paint is Plymouth Yellow Blaze.

That is PERFECT! You can't GET any better than that! Way to go! ( I'll save you a jug of my finest, if you'll come on by the car lot!)

Beautiful - just make sure you don't take it near any cliffs!

Hey, you know, I think you're on to something there. Offendaphobic- someone who is offeneded at people being offended or someone who is scared of being offended at people being offended!

says Roger.....trying to disguise himself as a leftist liberal!!

I think I forgot to mention the wheel hubs. The kit wheels are totally wrong; the good folks at the automotive modelers forum guided me toward the wheel hubs from the AMT 77 Ford van, and then one of the members was kind enough to send me a set which he was not going to use. Once primed and chromed, they were perfect! They also almost perfectly fit the aftermarket tires which I had ordered (see earlier post June 2). Absolutely perfect! ONE FINAL DETAIL: the CB antenna. In the episode "The Meeting," there is a perfect closeup view of it, which I used as reference to scratch-build mine. Base was carved from two sections of plastic, and the aerial was made from metal guitar string (high "E"). And, God-willing, she's done! Finished pics to be posted shortly.

Thanks for the info Daney. Is the original Law and Order the one with Jack McCoy? The lawyer part of it? Just wondering. I heard of the Law and Order Las Angeles. But to me, it won't be the same thing. Glad to hear SVU got renewed. Sorry about Cold Case. There were a lot of shows it looked like that got canceled. I don't know if this is normal or if I am just noticing it because Numb3rs was one of them. Like I said, I don't have much room to complain. I had my warnings and I had the show longer than expected, just disappointed to see it go. If I feel this way about Numb3rs being cancelled, I'd hate to know how bad I'd have felt if I was old enough to understand it with the Dukes. Oh well...at least there are the DVDs and fan-fics.
