  1. Great looking and Edsel too! I'm envious. I'd love to add a '60 Edsel to my collection someday. Scott
  2. Another nice looking Ford. Scott
  3. Looks great, of course. But, I expect that of anything you do. Scott
  4. Wow! Very nice. And thanks for including info on the color. It looks great. Scott
  5. I'm sorry I misunderstood. Your looking for an MPC Charger III. Scott
  6. I'd love to see it and the Charger III you have listed as working on. Scott
  7. Wayne contact me at: unclescott58@usiwireless. I've tried a couple of time to send a message through "proper" forum channels. But, it says I can not send it too you. Heck if I know why? Scott
  8. Who was it that said,"Too much of ________ (fill in the blank) is wonderful."? It seems right to see a Dodge/Mopar product doing something as politically incorrect and primitive as these burn outs. Obliviously the guys at Fiat understand American muscle. This is a good thing. Scott
  9. I'd say the Revell snap kits look better than the old AMT kit. But, despite that I just bought another AMT '63 this last Thursday. They depict two different types of Corvettes equipment wise. The old AMT kit kit has an engine, where the Revell is a curb side. AMT's Corvette has fuel injection badging, cast aluminum wheels, and a four-speed transmission. Revell's depicts a car with no fuel injection, standard wheel covers, Powerglide and rare for '63 factory air conditioning. Which do I like better? It's a toss up. I like the idea of a car with air. But, I really like early Vettes with fuel injection. And since the fuel injected Sting Rays had solid lifters, you could not get factory air with them. By the way, I own several of each. Scott
  10. Saw my first Tesla sedan on the road a couple of weeks ago. I'm not a big fan of modern cars. But, I liked the looks of the Tesla. Very nice looking car. Scott
  11. How was the driver of the car? If he didn't get hurt, which I suspect and hope, I found the video kind of cool. And sorry to say this, but things like this are going to happen from time to time. Doing somethings involves risk. Sometimes even to ones life. But, that sometimes also what makes things worth doing. Scott
  12. I'm surprised AMT or MPC did not do the Manta Ray back in the 1960's. They did most every other popular show car at the time, but the Manta Ray. I can understand Art Anderson's arguments of why they might not want to tool up a kit of it today. But, where was it when it was appearing in things like Beach Blanket Bingo? There is some question by several people posting here that people under 45 would not be interested in a lot of the cars suggested by others here. I'm not so sure of that. A lot of cars that we found cool as kid, the younger crowd does too. Go to real or model car shows, see what interests them. I'm always amazed see people much younger than I excited over cars they could have not seen back in the day. Cool is still cool, no matter how old you are. I'm way too young for the late 40's and early 50's Hot Rods and drag cars. Hudson was gone just before I was born. I didn't grow up with Model Ts or As running around. Or classic Duesenburgs, Packards, and Cords. But, guess what? Just as earlier generations thought they were cool, so did I. Cool is cool no matter it's age. Heck there are things from antiquity that I think are cool. Scott
  13. I really like the UPS show truck. I never knew that it existed. Scott
  14. Wow! As noted by others, a stunning save. I'm impressed. Scott
  15. The basic answer, other than what's been noted by Mr. Shoe, is NO. We need a Swinger or two. Scott
  16. First Hot Wheels cartoon I've ever seen. Typical bad animation of the time, but the cars at least are fairly recognizable. Kind of cool for that reason alone. If it wasn't for that, the cartoon would have been unwatchable. Scott
  17. I'm trying to remember? Are we here in Minnesnowta part of Canada or not? It sure feels like it at times. Scott
  18. The Cheetah and the Manta Ray are the two I don't understand why they have not offered as regular kits. Scott
  19. Thanks guys. Basically what you suggested Danno is the route I'm going with on building this. The exception, I plan on have the three walls together and roof lightly tacked on. I feel the roof needs to be firmly attached before mounting to the base trailer. Scott
  20. Very nice. I love the color! Not one I would have thought of. But it works. Scott
  21. Looks great. I too like the color combination. Very nice job. Scott
