In 1/25 scale, 1 inch is exactly .040 inch ( or approximately 1 millimeter). So 3 scale inches is .120 inch. Years ago, I was told that the difference in a Mustang and Cougar was that the front suspension pieces were swapped side for side. The suspension has a 1-1/2 inch offset from the mounting points. On the Mustang, they angled rearward resulting in a shorter wheelbase, while the Cougar had them angling forward. The guy that told me this was the son of a Ford executive from the 60s (and a well known modeler)the late Randy Vandriass.

David, I think I now understand your screen name. LOL

Hello from Modesto. I'm one of the helpers at the NNL Western Nationals in Santa Clara. I hope you saw the show last month. We had 1100+ models and 400+ builders at the convention center by Levi Stadium. Next year it will be January 26 (or whatever the Saturday is near that date). Hope to meet you.

Don't forget the '66 Hemi Under Glass with the Aurora-style box art. Could this be a diorama series with Aurora-style art?

The M&S crew are great. I've been dealing with them for years. I'm sure Mark will make it right.

The NNL Western Nationals just announced that the 2019 themes are "Wagons and Wings". so this thread is very timely.

Thanks. I'll look at my local store, but I'm not holding my breath-My local HL doesn't carry the treadplate.

Where were they located, by the models? Perhaps by crafting?

Got some in Modesto, CA today.

John, you are a warped individual! I love it.

I only saw Don at GSL, and he was always nice to me. We shared a lot of laughs and I relly admired his work, A truly nice guy and great modeler.You will be missed my friend!

Here's a tip for you, Nick. I'm pretty sure that the Corvair engine from the AMT show rods (like the Depth Charger) is from the Meyers Tow'd. It already has a VW transaxle, and the fan belt is two piece- that is a pretty distinctive feature.

Thanks, Dave - I never heard that. Heartbreaking.

The Horse Hide Hauler is a derivative of the Surf Woody. As far as I know the XR-6 was never modified into anything else.

I'll be one of the guys escorting you toyour vendor table during set-up.
