  1. I have a 1/18 die cast I bought several years back. It's by Road Signature.
  2. Manual roll up windows. Non power door locks. Carburetors. Floor mounted dimmer switches. Chrome antennas. Rubber floor mats. Manual steering and drum brakes.
  3. I've had many over the years, the newest being an 84 Mustang GT. Currently working on my 70 F100.
  4. It may not help when selling single kits but I have been using pirateship.com for larger boxes. It's generally 3/4 the price of UPS online and can save on USPS, too.
  5. Yeah, I especially love the ones where they say "my bf/brother/dad just fixed it."
  6. Definitely not an accurate representation of a Y-block. They use a 1-2-1 exhaust pattern that comes out the side of the head. As mentioned above, they resemble a small block Chevy on the exhaust side. That looks more like an FE exhaust and the oil filter is in the FE location. The valve covers resemble Y-block items, though.
  7. I like that video. There are other similar videos on Archive.org. The NHRA channel streams on Pluto TV for free. The videos cover all years of racing.
  8. That Lingenfelter Pinto has a massive droop on the front clip. They were usually much more subtle.
  9. Plastic model of a Wells Fargo stage with horses, all molded in brown. I was about 6 or 7 so it didn't last long.
  10. My first model kit was a stage coach. Queue the "old" jokes... It really was a stage coach. Early to mid 60s. I was big into cowboys.
  11. Another thing the tech told me was to make sure the car was completely stopped when shifting from forward to reverse or reverse to forward. The CVT is less tolerant of a slight role while shifting than most automatic transmissions.
  12. The CVT has a poor reputation but I was told by a Nissan tech that they will outlast the car with a simple oil change every 30K miles. I have over 130K on my 2010 Altima and the CVT works just fine. I use the simple method to change the fluid through the dipstick tube. Use a pump to suck out as much fluid as possible and replace it with the same amount of fluid (to the ounce.) I use the Valvoline CVT fluid in mine. As always, your mileage may vary 😉
  13. Pictures from my dad's wrecking yard in Beaumont, TX. from around 1960. He would pick me up from school in 1st grade and take me back to the shop with him until he closed around 5:30.
