  1. As others have said, nice save. It looks really good. Scott
  2. One can do all the sliding they want here in Minnesota in the winter. Had a friend back in the 70's who had a '69 Mustang Mach I with a 351 in it. Any open parking lot, especially with fresh snow, he would be out there spinning donuts for has long as he could. He beat that poor Mustang to death. Eventually blowing up the 351. Scott
  3. Great show. In fact the greatest. And a great photo. I think I too have built one or two Star Trek models over the years. Scott
  4. Cool! The Corsa turned out very nice. Can't wait to see the other Corvairs finished. Scott
  5. Niko, you crazy Finns. I love the "drifting" with the old Pontiac. With you Finns doing stuff like that, it explains a lot of where we of Finnish decent over here, get our crazy ideas from. It must be in the blood. Scott
  6. "Little red covered wagon?" Are you trying say I'm old? I'm old. But not that old. Scott
  7. I want a Packard. But I want to be able to build it stock. Scott
  8. After read all the postings here. I'll stick with Modelhaus. I've never had a problem with them or their stuff. Scott
  9. Looks pretty good to me. Scott
  10. I don't know Tulio. This could lead to trouble. You building a none Ford product. All kidding a side, another great looking model. Scott
  11. I like it! And of course it's in the Ford Galaxie, Joe. Scott
  12. A few weeks back, I got and am working on, Pegasus Hobbies' "The War of the Worlds, War Machines Attack!" model. I got the "Special Edition Plated" version with "Chrome Copper Finish." It's a 1/144 scale diorama with two War Machines and two Sherman tanks. One of the tanks is being hit by a heat ray from one of the Copper plated War Machines. So far, a fun model. As with several of you above, I too am into trains. Because of space limitations, I'm into N gauge. And I'm big into passenger trains and the Great Northern. I have two different Empire Builder combines I can run. Need to eventuly add a Santa Fe Super Chief to my fleet. Scott
  13. No TV had any effect on me. I was born loving cars. Here's what my mother wrote in my "baby" book under favorite toys. "Toy: a little red car. Age Presented: 16 month old. Reaction: "Have to have it with all over but you lost it in August at Pat's cabin" Toy: a little red car. Age Presented: 22 months old. Reaction: "Of all the nice things you got for xmas 59 you like that that red 19 car cent you found in our backyard best. Can't be parted with it at all" "For xmas 1959 you got a Buick Hardtop car from your father. That was your favorite Toy until it broke 2 (can't read her handwriting here on length of time) after. I was glad it broke because you had to have it with you 24 hours a day" "For xmas 1960 you got everything a boy could wish for, but you liked a service station from your mother + father and a long haul truck with 4 small blocks from Aunt Dana best of all." Cars. Cars. Cars. I've always loved cars. Didn't need a TV show to turn me on to cars. Though I liked TV shows with cars. Two favorites are the '66 Batmobile and the TV Green Hornet's Black Beauty. And I dont know if this really qualifies as a true car, but I also loved Supercar. I also find it interesting the good taste I had in cars at the age of 22 months. The only toy car mentioned by make above is a Buick. Growing up my folks first drove Oldsmobiles, then Mercury Comets. Yet some how, I became a Buick guy. I owned several Buick over the years. And presently have a 2000 Buick LeSabre as a daily driver. Love those Buicks. Even when I was less than 2 year old. I guess some of us are just born with good taste. Scott
  14. I didn't see any that cheap. What was it with shipping though? Scott
  15. I too am looking forward to this. I love these types of reviews. I hope you use lots of photos. Scott
  16. I haven't heard the name El Kabong in a long time. Very good! Scott
  17. Another nice one. Scott
  18. Chris you know that rear suspension from a '58 Thinderbird will not be correct for a '61 Ford wagon? '58 T-bird used coils in the back. '61 Fords, including T-birds, used leafs. By the way, '58 was the only year T-bird was setup with coils in the rear, on the unibody birds. Ford was planning on offering an air suspension setup on both the Thunderbird and Edsel. It did not happen. So Ford switched the T-bird back to leaf spring for '59. Scott
  19. Very nice! Who said Edsels were ugly? Scott
  20. Very nice Cobra. I like it. Scott
  21. The question becomes, is this good or bad? I don't know. Scott
  22. Nice looking LaCrosse Tom. I hope it gives you many great years of services, like my present and previous Buicks have done for me. Scott
  23. Neat kit. Went to look at them on eBay. The prices were not good. More than I'm willing to pay. Scott
