  1. A few years back they announced that they where going to re release them, but, stories started coming out about damaged and missing tooling. Then the whole thing just died. I think the Willys was the one that was not available.
  2. Wandered into the LHS and wandered out with a Comet! The '32 was a Michael's score.
  3. This little gem taught me never to try it again! Now I know it is an IMC kit, but back then it just turned me off to anything Testors!
  4. I think I have tried three times to build this, mostly when I was younger, and never quite got it right. So many little fragile parts and no patience makes for a terrible building experience for a kid! Might have to try it again now and see how it goes.
  5. That is one sharp pursuit!
  6. Let us not forget Sir Duke!
  7. This is the only thing I use when stripping Tamiya lacquers
  8. Merry Christmas to you and all! From San Diego, CA
  9. I do remember that 510! A friend of mine sent me the link when he found it. It was a pretty cool build and glad it is going strong! Also, even though I am a Datsun guy, I must give props to the old school Toyota 18RG
  10. The L Series Nissan engines where quite flexible and many aftermarket and factory items where made for them. Like twin cam conversions.
  11. I do miss my Datsun L-18 with dual Mikuni carbs. That was a workhorse of an engine. This is the Paul Newman version
  12. I am biased toward Nissan, especially the SR series. Not much needed to make tons of power
  13. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resin-Half-Cab-Conversion-for-new-Revell-1-25-Ford-Bronco-/252687865888?hash=item3ad55ed820%3Ag%3ARoUAAOSwiONYO57O&nma=true&si=LF5haoEKYPLySJzhKQukOEYwwBs%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  14. Awesome! Glad i didn't pay $200 at a show once! Now I can have a new one for a fraction of that!!
  15. Wow, that is a stunner! Great detail and finish! Which kit did you use for this one?
  16. Here is the engine again in color
  17. This is a great build! Wow, really dig the small interior touches!
  18. I have to agree with Chuck, let's wait to hear it from the Horses Mouth and not a story that pops up here and there. But for what it is worth, I think the molds are being used to build a Giant Robot that is going to be sent to Mars build factories there for Palmer. But I could be wrong.
  19. Picked up the Caddy re-issue since I never got one when they first came out. Got the F and F Charger with a 50% coupon at Michael's!
  20. I have not compared them yet, but, I think it shares almost everything but the body with the IMC Bug kit. I have both, but, I have yet to do a comparison.
  21. Totally cool! It looks like something I would see running at Bakersfield!
  22. Nice Kustom! Some serious sculpting going on there.
  23. That is just cool crazy!
