As others have said, I very sorry to hear what happened. And with be praying for your wife and you, a other family members affected by this. God bless.

I'd like to see a review with pictures, of what's included in the Lindberg '34 Ford kit. Does it still include the custom wheel covers and the Thunderbird engine the origin had? And I keep reading about how the Lindberg's '40 Ford coupe is almost an exact of AMT's '40 Ford coupe. But not as good. It would be interesting to see a review, again with pictures, comparing the two kits to each other. Years ago I bought Lindberg's Dodge cab over truck with the flatbed trailer and their '40 Ford coupe. From what I remember, it didn't look all that bad to me.

Hey guys nobody is saying you have to set your car up like that. Ture it doesn't turn me on either. But, if the guy who own the Vette likes it, more power to him.

Both the '54 Corvette Nomad and '54 Corvette Corvair would be cool.

Thanks Art and Steve. Unless I hear different I'm going with what you say Art. From what I've seen, I beleive you to be correct.

Does anybody know where to find, or have information on stock/factory colors and interior trim for 1932 Fords? I'm mainly wondering what colors were the factory interiors based on the exterior paint one choose? And was this different if you bought a Model B vs. a V8? Or a standard vs. deluxe? Or the body style you choose? And what were the colors of the open cars tops? In the near future I plan on building one stock version of each of the AMT '32 Ford kits. Trying first to decide on what colors to paint each car. Then what color to paint the interior. (And that brings up another question, does the dash match the interior or exterior of the car?) On the roadster and phaeton what color to paint the top. And on all of them, what color to paint the wheels. Im sure there is someone in our community here, that has that information. Or knows where to find it. My web searches mainly take me to vendors selling paint or upholstery kits. But, with very little info on what goes with what.

About three weeks ago, I had to buy a new battery for my 2000 LeSabre. The one I replaced was in the car for more than 10 years! In Minnesota this is considered a minor miracle. The battery that gave me such great service? An AC Delco, with a 6 year warranty. So did I replace it with another Delco? No. Since I work for a O'Reilly Auto Parts store part time, I bought one of theirs. Too good of a price to pass up with my employee discount. Even though I doubt I'll get same service out it. Not that's it's bad battery. It's just going to be tough beating the life I got from that last Delco.

Ah good old Harry to the rescue. Thanks. I needed that.

Very nice.

Nice!

Revell/Mongram makes a very nice '64/'65 convertible that was offered with Indy pace car decals at one point. And they also offer a Shelby fastback based on the same basic tooling. It too is very nice. What I'd like to see is a regular '65 coupe and plain non Shelby '65 fastback. Using either the old AMT tooling. Or based off of newer Monogram tool. I like both. At the same time, even though I like the Mongram convertible, if AMT ever offered their old kit as a convertible, I'd buy it.

This one I did like Greg. Very cool.

Sorry Greg. Normally I like the weird stuff you post here. This time I just got bored.

I can spend years hunting for that certain kit. As soon as I find it. And pay big bucks for it. A model company will announce they are reissuing it in the next month or two. At a lot less money than I paid.

I build cars both ways. But in general I prefer fenders.

Like most others here (so far), I too prefer the 3.

I'm still interested in knowing where this came from? It's a great little clip. I love Scotty's reaction. But, I'd love to know what he he is saying also.

We need more jokes. Pickings have been a little slim here lately.

I'd still like to see this reissued. I built the Switches '32 sedan last summer. It was an okay kit. Not nearly as nice as Revell's or AMT's '32s. Just okay. But, as far as I know, the above is the only '32 kit with the proper rear door to build a sedan delivery. So I want one.

Building my first motorcycle. MPC's recently reissued Honda 750. Has got me looking at other motorcycle kits. Revell's Harley Electra-Glide is one I'd really love to add to my collection. I hope Revell will consider reissuing it in the near future. But, in the threads here on the Honda, I don't see a lot of interest in bike kit in general. Is the Honda (750 or Trail 70) selling? And should Revell consider reissuing any of theirs?

Yea, it's a shame that Revell has not offered us a notchback of their nice '65 (Monogram) Mustang kit.

I wish the old Jo-Han kits, with errors or not, could be reissued. Wrong dashboards and interiors don't bother me too much. Look at AMT's '66 Buick Wildcat that has been reissued several times over the years. Right from the start, back in 1966, it never had the right dashboard or interior. They just took their '65 Wildcat and updated the exterior. So it's always been wrong. Would it have been nice to have the correct dash and interior at the time? Yes. But, would I have known it was wrong in 1966? Probably not. Today I do notice when things like dashboards are wrong in kits. In a newly tooled kit, this would not make me happy. In an old reissued kit, I'm willing to forgive things a little more. And would be happy just to get the kit back.

Can you imagine what some modelers are going to say if this is ever reissued. Poor chassis detail. No engine. Not even an interior on the last one I got. When, or if, this ever gets reissued, wait for the bitching to begin. (Not from me. I welcome these old kits in what ever form they may come.)

True. But most of the old '58 annuals would be the only game in ton of those cars too. I like AMT's old '66 Mustang. I think it's a great kit. Despite Revell/Monogram's very nice '65 Mustangs, I'd buy more of the AMT's if they bought out the fastback or convertible, or back dated theirs to a '65. How the car looks from the outside. The looks of the body. Are more important that the chassis and engine detail to me. Again, I prefer a kit with an engine in particular. But, I really just prefer having the car itself looking right over all. So if Round 2 could, I'd love to see the old '58 annuals, or other kits like them reissued. I'm just worried about about the people complaining if they buy one of those, and see the lack of engine and chassis detail on them. They'll have a hemorrhage, or a coronary, or something if they ever confront these.

Feel a need to bring this thread back. I keep hoping somebody from Round 2 follows these threads. And consider reissuing this kit. (You can tell it's a slow day day at work for me. I'm working a "Time To Think" room in an elementary school today. And so far it's been quite in here. That's a good thing. So you may see me pull on other old threads today, too.)
