  • Nailed it! *NM*
  • Looks great Scott. *NM*
  • I can hear that little jazz riff from the chase scene playing in my head when I look at your model! Great job!! *NM*
    • Funny you should mention it - the soundtrack by composer Lalo Schifrin is a landmark 'acid jazz' icon
      • Slight correction - jazz fusion is probably a better descriptor *NM*
      • Haha… cool factoids. I guess I have seen the chase scenes so many times that the music has ingrained itself to the point that I can’t separate the two… with appropriate engine noises, dubbed in double clutching, shredding tires… the whole bit. Cinematic art, really *NM*
        • At McQueen's insitence, the music cuts the second the Charger drops the hammer - music is over
          • Musclecar Review did an article on the film; the chase was added after filming began. McQueen felt the film needed it as it was slow-paced and would quickly lose the audience *NM*
          • I’ve seen the movie a few times. I’ve seen the chase scene many more. I’m not a movie critic, but I liked it. The chase scene, with its sights and sounds, phenomenal. Even with the five hubcaps, the tri-five with the magical quarter panel that pops
            • It is still the best - it serves the plot (such as it is) well
  • Re: Looking good *NM*
  • WOW!! *NM*
  • BEAU-TI-FUL Work.... *NM*
  • Nailed it!!! So.... Is there a black '68 Charger in your future? *NM*
    • With 5 hubcaps? *NM*
      • Of course.... Wouldn't be accurate without five hubcaps. *NM*
    • Thanks Marty. I already built the Bullitt Charger. *NM*
  • Nice build. Makes me want to go watch the movie. *NM*
  • Scott! When can we go for a ride in it!! *NM*
    • Ya'll will have to wait awhile. I just got done hill hopping and a Charger hub cap broke the wind shield. *NM*
  • .Steve McQueen cool *NM*
