Very nice as usual Tulio. I like your taste in cars. R. Scott Aho

Very nice Floyd. I love those old school AMT kustoms that you could build straight out of box like that. The only thing I don't care for on your build is the chain steering wheel. But, then again I've never liked that look no matter what I've seen it on. That's just a matter of personal taste. The model looks great. R. Scott Aho

A very nice job. It looks great. R. Scott Aho

Very nice job. Still one of my all time favorite race cars. R. Scott Aho

Does nothing for me. Why is GM doing this with Cadillac? Will this really help increase their customer base? I do hope it gets the young hipsters buying Caddys. Cadillac offers nothing that interests me anymore. Yet they do sell fairly well. So I'm sure this is probably the right way for them to go. I'm afraid I've become an old dinosaur. R. Scott Aho

Why do cows have hooves rather than feet? Because they lactose. R. Scott Aho

Why do milking stools only have three legs? Because the cows have the utter. R. Scott Aho

You hit the nail on the head. I'm a big Star Trek fan, but I'll be passing on Discovery because I'm being forced to pay for it. And I bet I'll still be forced to watch commercials with it too. As far as the new show with the old Top Gear guys. I'd love to watch it, but I don't know where to find it. But, if I have to pay for it, I got better things to spend my money on. I do not watch enough TV to justify paying for any of it. No cable or satellite in my house. I build models and read books instead. And spend my money on that. R. Scott Aho

Good looking Mustang. R. Scott Aho

Beautiful. R. Scott Aho

I like it. A good looking model of a good looking car. R. Scott Aho

I agree. It's looking pretty good. R. Scott Aho

Very cool boats Alan. I like all three. R. Scott Aho

Oh! P.S. The '62 Chrysler New York had the same front end look. The only difference is a silver mesh grille insert, and different center grille emblem. R. Scott Aho

The more reasearch I do, the more I'm sure the '62 300s all came with the black grille mesh from the factory. Sport or letter car. R. Scott Aho

I never knew a real version of this car existed before this. I thought it was cool as model. And I think it's just as cool as real car. R.Scott Aho

I have a soft spot for the ZX from that time period. I like original 240Z better. But the ZX was cool for the time.

The above brochure, which I have one in my collection, only shows the 300 'sport' series. Not the 300 letter car. The 300H. Which appeared in a seprate brochure, that I'm sorry to say I do not have in my collection. Still, interesting to note that the sport series 300 in the brochure shot has a blacked out grille. I do have the old 300 source book by Bonsall and Shields. That book is mainly reprints of old Chrysler 300 letter car brochures. Most years the letter cars got their own brochure. And they were black-and-white. This is true for the '62 H. The H was shown in a black-and-white fold out that year. It is obvious looking at the one photo in that brochure of the front of car, the grille is blacked like it's lower priced 'sport' series siblings. One last note. I do not always trust what I see in car sales brochures. Many times there have been changes made to cars between the time they appear on the show floor, and the time the brochure was put together. Late in year the company may than release a revised brochures showing the change. But, this did not always happen. I still would question if Chrysler may have changed the grille somewhere in the model year. For example, If rock chips were showing up on black finish of the 62's grille. Or maybe a change in the proceived customer reaction to the looks of the grille (more so with 'sport' series 300). Or of change in vendors who make the grille. Any of these could have effected what the grille would look like though out the model run. I don't if any of these happened. But, it is still a possibility looking at Steven's pictures above. R.

Alright! Other cool kit coming out in time for my next birthday. I just hope somebody like Firebird Designs makes some Mountain Dew decals for this kit. Coca-Cola is my second favorite beverage after Mountain Dew. So if I have to, I'll build it as shown on the box. R. Scott Aho

Which version of 300 are we talking about here? The H letter car? Or the new Sport series 300 that replace the Windsor on the US side of the Canadian border? This may make the diffence. Though I don't have time to do any real research on this right this moment. Also things could be changed on the cars as model year went on. The car may have come with one style grille early in the model run. Than for what ever reason switched to the other. I'm going to have to look into this later on in the week when I have some time. R. Scott Aho

The above sounds like it will be out right around my next birthday. Cool! Guess what I'm buying for myself as a birthday gift this next year? R. Scott Aho

I love the Tamiya paint stands. And I've never had a problem with mine coming apart on its own. At the same time, why flip one over with a model attached? Why take the risks? If your trying to paint the inside on a body while it's on the stand. Just lift the stand and spray from below the model. Air bushes and spray cans will spray in an upward direction. So it works out just fine. R. Scott Aho

I always find it fun and interesting to see cars from other parts of the world that were not sold in the US. The '82 above is beautiful. I've noticed in the past that the big Fords in South America sometimes carried Lincoln wheel covers. Right down to carrying the Lincoln star. Very classy. They look right for the car. R. Scott Aho

I believe the MPC '71, '72, and '73 Cougar XR-7s had a vinyl roofs too. R. Scott Aho

With two JoHan/Xcel models, that one could be done. R. Scott Aho
