The Slant Four was standard and available in several different forms on the '61 - '63 Tempests. The Olds version of the 215 was offered in '61 and '62 on the Tempest, but rarely seen in one. The Pontiac 326 became available as an option on the '63 Tempests.

I was at a local hobby store yesterday (Hub Hobby in Richfield, MN), and saw something new. At least it was new to me. Model Master Instant Adhesive For Plastic Models. I know it's basically another "Superglue." But, has anybody in our community tried it? Is it any good? Any tricks in using it? Or things to watch out for? Testors makes three interesting claims on its packaging. 1. It cures in 10-20 seconds. 2. It won't attack paint. And 3. It cures clean and clear. Sounds good. But is it?

Greg does a great job always of posting interesting topics here. If he starts a thread, I know it will be worth checking out. Thanks Greg.

Very nice ?

I don't think this is off topic for here. And I for one would look forward to a movie on this. One of my favorite cars, the Ford GT and GT40 came from this battle.

Well. Until someone reissues or offers a new Mutt II* Cobra II model, this will have to hold me over. It's GreenLight's 1/64th scale die cast of Jill Munroe's 1976 Ford Mustang II Cobra II. A very nice replica it is too. Sad to say, I'm not a big fan of Charlie's Angels. And I'm more interested in car than the packaging. So I will be removing the car from the package and throwing the actual packaging in the garbage. Ruining the value of a "mint in the package" toy car. * Calling Mustang IIs, Mutt IIs is for me a term of affection. Everybody likes to put them down. I actually liked them the first time I saw them back in late 1973. The only mistake I think that Ford made was not offering a V8 in the Mutt IIs that first year. But, they figured that one out pretty quickly, and fixed it the '75 model year. Mustang should always a least offer a V8 to help maintain its performance image. Even if a 4 or V6 is all it really needs.

Just found this photo on the web.

The above doesn't look quite yellow enough to me?

A poor man's Cobra. And as I'm sure you know Ray, Shelby had a hand in building the prototype Tiger.

Nothing overly rare there. Open them. Build them. And have fun doing both. Heck, that's what they were designed for.

Thanks Tim. I'll give it a try.

I loved these pre-painted ProShop kits. I bought and built several. I wish they would have continued on with the series.

Welcome to 2018. It's interesting I can afford to buy these kits now. Back when they were originally out, at the $2.00 it cost for a kit, they seemed harder to come by for me. I'm just happy to be able to buy these kits now. Now that I have money. I doubt I would have had the money to buy any kits back in the days of the Weimar Republic. Plus I don't think there were many kits I was interested in picking up during that time. Not a lot of plastic kits back then. And I'm not good at whittling wood.

Finding the right color paint is part of the reason I've never gotten very far with my Piranha drag car. I'd love to hear from others out there on suggestions for matching the correct color. Since I don't use an airbrush, I need something in a spray can.

Looking again, your right.

I have both of the JoHan kits above. And they're both beautiful kits. Unlike most old JoHan kits, the '31 Cadillacs and '35 Mercedes are almost state of the art still.

Interesting that Marks does not make decals for the version I'd want to build. The dark blue with the white stripes. I'm guessing he has no way of printing white decals?

No need for an apology. You did nothing wrong. Actually, I want to know more about the two kits you brought up. You say the info you got was from Stevens? Is the '34 the old AMT '34 Ford pickup? And what version of the '77 Ford van are they talking about? And don't ever feel bad about confusing me. It happens all of the time. If I don't understand something I'll ask for clarification. Just don't be offended if and when I do.

Okay, I recognize the Monkeemobile. And I love '62 Buicks. But, I don't know what TV show or movie that particular Buick was in? A nice looking car. Where's it from?

Fun to see some of these older posts be dragged forward. A very cool bike, that would have been posted before I joined the forum. I glad to see it.

Now that's okay! ? Back to having fun here. And you caught on to my true secret Joe. ?

I miss spelled Rob. Are you guys going to attack me on everything here? I'm sorry already. Let's move on.

Okay, I'm sorry I said anything on this subject. I will say no more on it. ☹️

You got it! ?

Oh Rod, thanks for only quoting part of my posting. It changes the reflection of my comments.
