The '37 Cord is still (to me at least) the prettiest car ever designed. And the old Monogram Cord is still a very nice kit. And you did a great job building your's Bruce. Scott

I really like the dash. And like Stan, I'm wondering if it was done with decals. Scott

I like the looks of those first Vettes. And I like what you did with this one. Very nice. Scott

Danno people were upset back in 1961 when Catallo's car appeared on that cover. Hot Rod got lots of letters complaining about it the time. When are car was restored, I believe by Catallo's son, the swastika was changed to a Maltese/German/surfers cross. And Mr. Just, that would Moe Howard. Not Moe Fine. The Stooges were Moe and Curly (and Shemp) Howard. Larry had the last name of Fine. Scott

What class? And against what? Tell us more Pete. Scott

Very nice. You've got to love those old classic cars. Scott

Look in the middle of the upper belt pulley. Scott

Boy, the driver we're riding with sure is a cool cat. After that I wouldn't be thinking about readjusting my mirror! I'd be wondering if I had a cleaner set of underwear back at the pits? Scott

I always thought that Goldline camper looked cool. Ford had ties to that company for awhile and showed that camper in many ads. Now it would be neat if someone made that camper in 1/25th scale to go with the long wheelbase Moebius Ford pickup. The '71. Scott

Great restoration! And great paint. I'm impressed. Scott

Thanks for explaining the Finnish situation in WW II in a clear and concise away, Brett. Scott Aho

Again, I just think Rommel's Rod (the Tom Daniel's model) is plain cool. Scott

As Mr. Jackson stated above. Thanks for your hard work Harry. I love this forum. It works for me, and I'm enjoying it. So, I'd say your doing a good job with it. Scott

I know Harry. I was joking around. Get it? Scott

Wow! Scott

On a side. About early Fords being "Dodges in disguise". One of the acronyms I heard that Ford stood for was, F...ed Over Rebuild Dodges. I guess this maybe true after all. Scott

I'm glad and impress with people's knowledge of history on this blog. Brett Barrow brought up a good point about Rommel not being a real Nazi. He was a good German. And right or wrong did his duty. But as Brett noted, he paid price when he stood up to Hitler and his Nazis. I don't want to make Rommel out as some kind of saint. But, not everything and everyone was black and white when it came to their affiliations during World War II. There are some grays out there too. By the way I am on my father's side, I am of Finnish decent. Early in the war the Finns sided with Germany because of their stand against the Soviet Union. This is not something I'm proud of my Finnish relationships for. But, I understand the reasons. On the other side, my mother was born in Norway in 1935. She was five when the Nazis took over Norway. She lived Oslo, and my grandfather was part of the Norwegian resistance. His job was to hide a radio, so they could get news from England. He was also a communist who hated the Soviet way of doing things. If he had been caught with the radio, he more than likely would have been put death according to my mother. She remembered being woken up with Nazi soldiers pointing guns at her head. She also talked about people crying when the Nazis left. And how kind the Americans were who came in later. She ran away to America in 1952, at the age of 17. She meet my dad and married him in the spring of '53. She loved this country. She and my dad travelled through much the world. But, she never wanted to live anyplace else or go back to live in Norway. Despite our problems here. So things are not always black and white. Was Rommel a good man? I have mixed feelings on that one. Am I OK with a swastika on Rommel's Rod? Yes, and I don't think liking Rommel's Rod or model kits of real German World War II vehicles and weapons is going to make me into a Nazi. By the way, my mother helped me build my first three model kits. One was a kit of a German Me262. A plane which I like the looks of to this day. Again, building this plane at the age of six or seven didn't make me want to become a Nazi. The Nazis built cool machines. Wore neat looking uniforms. But, I still think what the Nazis did to the Jews in particular was totally evil. The Nazi ideal is totally wrong and needed to wiped out. But, not all Germans were Nazis. Or believed the the Nazi ideals in the long run. Several of my uncles, my dad's brothers, of Finnish decent, fought against the Axis powers during World War II. Some in Europe. Two in the Pacific. In fact one of my uncles married a Japanese woman right after the war. And brought her back to this country. She is still with us today. And I love her, despite what her country did to others in that war. She is a kind and loving person. Not one of the monsters from her country who did the horrible atrocities to prisoners of war and the Chinese. Again it's not all black and white. Time to get off my soap box on this one. Thanks for letting me rant. Scott (I'm not a saint either. But, I'm also not a bad guy.)

You know I've been think more about the grille on the '69 Moebius Ford truck. At first I didn't think it looked right. It is missing the Ford medallion. As in this picture below. Then it dawned on me. The low trim level Ford trucks in 1969 did not have that emblem. And look more like the Moebius model. The Moebius '69 is suppose be a plain base level Ford. Right? And the '71 will be an XLT. So the Moebius '69 is OK after all. Scott

Right or wrong, I'll take the Moebius over the Motormax diecast after seeing the picture you just posted Harry. The Moebius model is looking better after seeing that! Scott

My dad's '61 Comet 2-door sedan had the 144 with the three on tree. I wonder which was slower? The the slightly bigger Comet with the small engine, but manual transmission? Or a Falcon wagon with the big six and an automatic? Like your dad's Falcon, our Comet was dead reliable. Sorry to say, I was too young to drive the '61. Scott

Now that is cool. Know anything more about it? Scott

The windshield and grille do look wrong to me too. But again, wasn't this model built from a test shot? The windshield doesn't bother me as much as the grille. At the same time, if this what the finished product looks like, I'll still be buying one. Why? Because it's closer than any other '69 Ford pickup model out there. And it's really no worst than the pickup truck kits we were offered in the past. Plus I've heard everybody complain about Revell's '70 'Cuda kit. You know what? I like it. It looks pretty good to me. And I've like the Moebius' kits I've bought so far. Are they prefect? No. But, they are very, very good. And their new Ford pickup, despite the flaws looks very good to me. By the way, my father use to have a '69 Ford 3/4 ton long box pickup. I really didn't care for it. It road rough. The steering wheel was too large and close to you. With gas tank in the cab, it took a while to get the cab comfortable in the winter. With the heater going in front, and the cold gas behind you, it took a while for everything to balance out comfort wise. His truck had the "Sport" package. Nicer than the plain Ford pickup, but still pretty plain. But still, after all of my complaining, I'll be buying the Moebius Ford pickup trucks when they come out. Scott

Wow! Looks great. I love Aussie Utes. By the way, what do the stickers on the sides and tailgate represent? And for some reason I'd also like to see a close up of your license plate. And I'm sure someone is going to comment on the steering wheel being on the wrong side. I'm OK with it. Making the switch to the dashboard would have been a lot of work. Plus, I'm sure that you guys in Poland are like us here in the US, and drive on the right, with the steering wheel on the left? Even though it's wrong, I too would have built it left hand for driving in my country. Again as normal, you've build another great model Grzegorz. Scott

Looks good, but tell us more. What kit is it based on, for example? Scott

Interesting. But, no where as cool as Tom Daniel's design. Plus, nothing in the article to indicated Rommel ever road in one. Much less that one. I'm sure he had occasion to ride in one ones or twice. But, it makes me wonder? What did Rommel use as his main form of ground transportation during the African Campaign? Scott
