MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. That 1/18 looks pretty nice ! I recognise wheel covers - is it a 1998-2001 model (amber turn signals as well) ? Speaking of which ; I'm going to convert mine to the amber-signals tail lamp assemblies. Why ? I can't stand red turn signal/hazards ! They're not only annoying, but are also technically improper / incorrect.
  2. Better, I'll probably feel a whole lot, when you're gone
  3. That P71 belongs to yours truly. It's a 2004 ; a former Inglewood P.D. unit ( number 428 ). There are only two things about it that I wish it had : 1.) Rubber mats (has carpeting - and is coded as such ) 2.) Cruise control
  4. While I haven't much to offer in respect to your enquiries, I can tell you that this kit has its origins in late 1983 ( ! ) as the then-new (and groundbreaking) 1984 model. That chassis is almost dead-bollocks to the 1983 original. Bottom line ? Perhaps the chassis is de facto "warped" due to the ad infinitum running of the ad sequitur annual kits ? Best to you and regards.
  5. Stops anxiety in its tracks by stimulating GABA receptors
  6. Style Council was a New Wave [ et alia ] band which was borne out of The Jam by Paul Weller, whose version of Harvest for the World [ Isley Brothers ] is quite lovely
  7. Speaking only of the body style : the Supernatural version is a four door hardtop ( Sports Sedan in Chevrolet nomenclature ) , whereas the police/taxi (9C1 , etc.) models were four door sedans (framed door glass and "complete" B-pillar).
  8. Bed is where John Lennon stays when he floats upstream when he's only sleeping
  9. Another gem from the Notorious sessions of mid-late 1967. This is Mc Guinn fooling around with the then-new Moog synthesiser - a 9,000$ instrument ! The Moog was used extensively on Notorious (and to a lesser extent on other Byrds albums) - one of the first "Pop" (Rock) albums to feature the instrument ( The Monkees Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. was released in November 1967, beating the Byrds album by a couple of months ). Without further ado :
  10. An "incomplete" recording ; a studio instrumental from Summer or Autumn 1967. Chris Hillman took the song to Manassas who recorded a slower-tempo, vocals-included version for their 1972 self-titled album. I'm keen on this up-tempo take - too bad that it never received a vocal treatment.
  11. I can't be the only one who misread this as "prostate" initially. 😁
  12. That would make it a 1961 & earlier engine, hein ? PCV came along in 1961 (California) and 1962 (49-state). Some early PVC valves were on the intake manifold.
  13. I've always been partial to the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories licence plates :
  14. That's the 1973-1974 panel, sans embellishment. Practically every 1975-1976 Dart Sport had the brightwork , even the most basic trim level. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I wish that one of the resin casters would make not only a filler for the '75-'76 Sports , but also a 1973-1974 grille.
  15. Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is a fun song by Ian Dury and the Blockheads
