  1. Very nice build. And even though I like it displayed with the old MPC canoe on the roof, I'm glad you decided not to glue it on. It looks better overall without it. Scott
  2. Yea, normally I'm interested in just about all of the stuff Round 2 reissues. But sorry to say, not this one. Scott
  3. Below is a picture of a car that might look like a Crosley, but it's not. It's really a '49 Datsun! The design first appeared the year before with a very slightly different grille. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Yet, Powell Crosley was not flattered. It's looks very close to his '46, '47, and '48 Crosleys. There were rumors before World War II, that Nissan had plans to break in the the American market and sell cars here. Powell Crosley was worried this was car they were going to try doing it with. He tried to stop them from building the car. But got no where. He did have a fairly substantial redesign lined up for the 1949 Crosleys. But, until that could happen he decided he needed to do something to set his '48 car apart from the near lookalike Datsun. That's why in mid '48 Crosleys got that ugly chrome bullet on their nose, and the horizontal grille bars. And here is a '48 1/2 Crosley Scott
  4. Very good Mike! Scott
  5. I love those old dragsters. Very nice. Scott
  6. Like others have said, very nice. Scott
  7. Wow! That is tough to read and just plain nuts! I wonder what the heck that is all about? Scoot
  8. What is the Cosmic Charger? Scott
  9. Another good one Marshall! Scott
  10. Man is that nice! You did a great job on this. I'm blown away! Scott
  11. I'm 56. It worries me a little when I hear of people my age dying. Does anybody out there know what she died of yet? I haven't heard anything on the news. Scott
  12. I never though of using "mediums" to listen to music. I thought you went to them to contact the dead. Scott
  13. Ah yes. That is funny! Should note why he didn't finish the word "distance". Famous last words, for sure. Scott
  14. I like the Mutt IIs better than Farrah's Foxy Vette. That is over the top tacky. In a 70's, disco, sort of way. Scott
  15. Amen to that. Aand as cool as the Barris Batmobile is, even it looked better in its original form, before he modified it. Scott
  16. Man that Voodo Vette is kool. Thanks for posting more pics. Scott
  17. Interesting to see where they suggest placement for the distributor on the 413 in the above instructions. Scott
  18. The last two jokes dealing with sex and bags just seems to be in poor taste to me. And mean spirited. Plus they're old and not very original. Though most of the joke here are old and not very original. So, the the problem is mainly one of good taste. By the way, I don't want to start a augment over what's good or bad here. This is strictly my opinion on the last two jokes only. Scott
  19. Reread post number 60. Wasn't that your posting too?
  20. Yep. Three bad looking 1st gen Mustangs above. Scott
  21. Are these roofs precut? Scott
