  1. Twinkies and Model Cars may go together, but, they are not the same thing. People hoarded Twinkies when they announced their impending doom. I have not seen a scramble for model kits at all. Bad Union Contracts and lack of new product in a changing world doomed hostess. Not big payouts.
  2. Trailers are overrated! LOL!
  3. Hhmmm....
  4. Oh yeah! On a side note, hope they don't sensor the box art
  5. Does this mean we are not getting another new Charger, 57 Chevy or '32 Ford kit?
  6. I have one of those Vega Funny Cars and the body is not that great. I compared it to the MPC Vega and it would not make a good stock candidate. I have a mint Red Alert and I would like to find one to build. But, I ended up using a Jack Reacher Chevelle and still have not finished it. The Strip and Surf van would be cool just for the collection. I have never seen one in person. The Aqua Van and Boat would be a cool set to get back. I have seen them, but the prices are a bit much. The Strip and Surf van would get my nod for the rarest of the lot.
  7. Super clean builds! NIce!!
  8. And Stretchhhhh! Aahhhh! That looks really cool!
  9. Wow, I had forgotten about this thread! Last post being three and a half years ago!
  10. Check out Sven's build. A real knockout! http://www.svensworldofwheels.com/gremlin_funnycar_page.html
  11. With some creative stretching, this would be cool
  12. The Fuel Tank behind the body that came in the Tweedy Pie got replaced with the pick up bed, and to my knowledge, did not come back until the re-issue
  13. I think that pic of him in the car, where you can see a roll ball, might be on the Altered Wheelbase car
  14. Gas: Something spectacular, fun, and amusing. Gasser: The very best.
  15. "Gasser" was also slang for "The Very Best"
  16. I got mine, along with the Leal car off ebay.
  17. So, now that I have established how I am going to paint it, what is the color? Some say Red, some say Orange and some say Red Orange. Like maybe a Poppy Red Any ideas or clues to the actual color?
  18. One of my all time favorites! Not the greatest, but some great memories!
  19. Love that car! Followed it's adventures in Hot Rod back then! Your build is looking real good.
  20. Super cool! It has that vintage look and it looks just right
  21. I hope the U.S. issue is the same thing, I really like this kit and want another one!
  22. I think Bob Lambeck was in the Charger that year and I am sure Revell might do the kit since they have done two other Landy cars
  23. Glad you got what I said.
