The Official EBay Discussion Thread
mk11 replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Not always... Key here is to ask... send the seller a note asking if they'll consider shipping regular basic mail. I'm guessing too many sellers are getting lazy, allowing the site to do their thinking for them and are just following prompts that benefit the site. I've seen listings recently that show shipping at basic rate to be about fifteen US. -
I believe it's 1/32 and as for worth, when a useful trade is offered we'll know I will combine kits for a suitable trade.

1960 Ford P/U alternate grilles
mk11 replied to 1st 700 Quad's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Speaking for myself, I guess I'd rather have an accurately rendered scale representation, even with limited parts count and one grill, than four different grills to apply to a caricature of the subject ... -
Do we have release/shipping info on the AMT Mach Won funny car?

A slightly narrowed revell'69 windshield or maybe a '69 cougar front glass might be usable as well. -
AMT 1960 3-in-1 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck
mk11 replied to rekcirb13's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
No real conflict, Tim; the '63 brochure confirms the seats had gray upholstery. The '61/'62 seats were brown, and in '64 the range of colors went to four. This had no effect on the paintwork pre-'64. -

You may be thinking of the standard gray GM truck interiors, Tim. It's true that these '61-'66 F100 series trucks had some gray accents, notably the cardboard headliner pieces and seat upholstery( some years), but the interiors were thoroughly painted in primary body color all the way through. The custom cabs had the extra white accents on the dash and doors. The only time the dash top changed to other than body color was with the optional black dash pad. '63 base cab with non-original upholstery and speaker grill. '64 custom cab with original seat. I've looked everywhere and haven't come up with a preserved original '63 seat pic yet. -

Post your truck mockups.

'63 unibody shortbox mockup, checking wheelbase on foose chassis: perfect! I'll narrow the track and adjust ride height as I go... -
Two things; beautiful sunny morning, warmer by seventy degrees than two weeks ago at this time, and the honor of having the trust of the little chickadee that took seeds from my hand while I was refilling the feeders
