I have a question for the kit historians out there.  Did any company make a "29 Ford Coupe?  I know they made a '29 model A roaster, roaster pick-up, closed cab pick-up and the woody wagon.  Any coupes or sedans? I would guess the after market has made one but I don't know what company.  Thanks for the answers.    Patrick

  Anyone watching the Speed channels coverage of the Barrett-  Jackson auction and getting tons of ideas for builds? So many cool cars that could be built. Lots of '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s cars that have been in model kits through the years to get ideas for, and to possibly build for "way cheaper" then the ones there for sale.  I like it when they show the underside of the car as it rolls slowly over the camera.  I live near enough to the site at West World that I hear and see the private jets flying over head. Last word, there could be 400 of them landing there.  That is 800 fly overs for me here. This is the real 1% wealthy, folks.  They can buy the type of cars we dream about for pocket change, for them. They have pizza slices there that cost $75 a slice because they put real gold leaf on top.  And they can't keep up with the orders. Guess you can't call your self wealthy unless you can eat and ###### real gold and bid on and buy cars that cost tens of thousands of dollars.  The auction will be on TV tomorrow for another 10 hours or so. The big ticket cars will be on the block tomorrow.  They will bring out the "real money". My favorite cars so far are the 2 LS7 '70 Chevelle convertibles going for over $175,000 each. The classic '50s Chevies sold there, both cars and trucks, are as good as it gets. They sold a miles deep black paint '40 Willys today with an injected big block and 15 by 15 rear wheels and huge by large rear tires. It had a 5 inch dump tube in front of the rear tires fed by a 4 inch exhaust straight from the headers. When they started it for the TV it roared and cackled like a drag motor. Be nice to buy that car and drive it to the local hang-out and set-off all the car alarms in the area. But for the price it went for I can dream of that a lot cheaper, plus for those bucks buy a house and furnish it. And build a model of the Willys'  too.  I am the  "Wish full dreamer-TV watcher and low bucks "I can build a model of that car"  Patrick .hearing those jets fly over day and night. Wonder if any of them built models as kids?

If you are into Rockabilly music with cars and good looking lady singers, check out the band "Devils Daughters" Rockabilly AZ.. The song is "Pass The Bottle" and it has some fast shots of some cool cars. I saw some good ideas for builds in that video.  Guess this band plays at some car events and both singers are models for certain car lifestyle magazines. Good song to build by too.  Patrick
