CHEVELLE HELP!!!
unclescott58 replied to 408calirides's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I too recognized this right away as the Revell kit. It's a very nice kit. I like the one I have. But, it's no promo. Scott -
Happy American Model Car Day!
unclescott58 replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I like it! At first I thought this was going to be lame. But, I'm presently surprised. Very creative Snake. Scott -
Moebius '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone news
unclescott58 replied to Dave Metzner's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Dito. The above Cyclone looks very nice. I'm a little curious though. Does anybody know what those two things are on the panel between the trunk and the rear window? Scott -
Thanks guys. Scott

Does anybody know what color the engine in MPC's 1932 Chrysler Imperial Convertible Sedan should be? Scott
-
I'm always interested in good books. For reference and enjoyment. With my love of GT40s I suspect I may have to take a look at this one. Scott

AMT Surf Woody Has anyone built one?
unclescott58 replied to PatW's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thank you for this video. Some beautiful girls. And that is always a good thing to me. Scott -
Wow! That was all done with marks? That's amazing. What the name of these marker again? What do cost? And were can one get them? I hate bare metal foil. Would this be a good alternative to that? Scott

unclescott58 replied to landman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Looks good. But, tell us about the real car in one background shot. Scott -
No what? Are you saying no to the pickup truck option in the above kit? As I noted in my last posting here, the Willys boxed with the '32 Ford did not have the option of building the Willys into a pickup truck. The same old AMT Willys in that box. Just with none of the later pickup truck parts. Scott

Design Exercise
unclescott58 replied to jaxenro's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Edsel Ford had a lot to do with the styling of pre-war Fords. And in my opinion, Edsel had a pretty good eye for styling. The '32 Fords had the right poportions from the way they were overall designed. It takes more than lengthening or shortening certain parts of a car to make them look right. The Duseneberg Judkins coupe is more than just the long Dueseberg hood. The other proportions had to be right. Again in my opinion, there were more than a few coach built cars, including some on Dueseberg chassis, that were not very good looking at all. And there have been some modifications to regular cars like the '32 Ford that have not worked well either. In particular I think that chopping the top on a '32 Ford and making it look right is a very particular art. Back to coach built cars like the Duesenbergs, some of the best looking bodies put on their chassis were designed and built by Murphy out of California. Bohman & Schwarz some of the worst. But you know what they say about opinions. Like belly buttons, everybody has one. And there were clients out there who like the work of Bohman & Schwarz. So, I guess in long run, do you like the designs for the '32 Ford you've come up with? And if you do. That's okay. But remember, I still reserve the right to disagree. And that doesn't make you wrong. Or me right. We just see things in a different light. Scott -
Terrible Kits You Love!
unclescott58 replied to Chuck Most's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Well, I went and did it. I'm a glutton for punishment. This evening I went a head and purchased a Lindberg, ex-Pyro, 1937 Cord on eBay. I know! I know! It's a terrible kit. But, I just could resist it any longer. I love Cord 812s. And I built one of Pyro copies back in 70's. One of my secret love to hate kits. Or is that hate to love? It will be fun to display with my Monogram Cord 812. Scott -
The double Willys kit with the '32 Ford sedan, did not have the parts in it to build the pickup truck version. That came in a later release. Scott

What's in the box is nice too. (Even the black plastic parts.) Scott

No disrespect meant here. But, that is not the best version of this song I've ever heard. Scott -

And! It would be fun to see what the above model looks like built. How is this kit? Is it any good? Scott -

unclescott58 replied to PatW's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Tough to disagree with on that one Bill. And what can I say? I'm also a sucker for those Annette and Frankie beach movies. By the way, I still want Boneheads hat. How cool is that? Scott -

Sorry to disagree with you Greg. But, Pipeline is much better in my opinion. Scott
