    Betcha there's no power windows or power brakes on that one.. a maybe an original owner

    Again, Casey's pic of the original... and the final disposition of the fastback chrome shot in the street freak awb drag car... The reissued fastback uses the coupe chrome shot with, as Steve reported, altered depth on the Shelby wheels and twin fuel caps added along with an extra tail light bezel.

    Thanks for that input. Guess my copy ended up in the pile I gave to the local boys&girls club.

    I seem to remember a '66 built by one C. Kourouklis esq in that time frame... I'll see if I can find my issue.

    ...and there's the rub

    Not as tough to make your own shortbox as I thought... 8 inches out of the front of the box side and 12 out of the back

    They need to integrate that little bit of common sense into the factory assembly process... these wheels had never been off the vehicle Of course, a savvy owner could do that right off the bat; much like spraying something like fluid film over the wheelhouse on a new pickup could save that area from rustout.

    Finally got motivated to make the cuts on my unibody short box conversion. Another project received attention too; making cuts to turn a series lll Landy into a series ll with the 88" w/b and inner mounted headlights. This one will be somewhat un-stock, with my inspiration being the '66 Golden Rod V8 conversion ...

    Ask me how I know about that chore ... Came across a young lady a couple of weeks ago standing beside her two year old jeep. Had run over a spike or something. Hardest part was actually getting the wheel to move as the hub/wheel interface is so tight they get welded together from corrosion

    Good point about the licensing; I was referring to your catch of his comment about the 'Ford small block' in the kit. In light of Charger 'whaletails' and D150's with 4 cylinder engines, among other booboos, it seems Round 2 marketing could use some help with fact checking

    Any engine in a Ford is a Ford engine to this bunch of master marketeers...

    General rule seems to be with this generation 'iffen you don't know from nuffin, it don't matter... none of your peeps do either'

    Such is the sad state of automotive 'journalism' -heck, any type of journalism- these days

    Looks like the adults were in another part of the building again when the graphics for the D150 were being laid out... when's the last time you saw a Dodge half-ton with the 2.6 mca-jet mitsu in it? ?

    Kinda looks like they were aiming for the 351M, with the squared off valve covers... but I'm not sure what planet they scrounged the carb and distributor from

    There may well be something to that eventually, given the provocative wording used in Mr Boyd's unibody wip thread...
