When we see your name on the marquee, we know we're in for a treat Superb work on an excellent kit! mike

Fascinating Certainly a more accurate rendering in many areas than the recent 1/25. Very true to the Latin American truck with the Y-block and the 16" wheels. mike

Some of those old kits are sure appealing. I had this rare early amt multi-piece kit come to me almost forty years ago ... one of these days I'll have to get going on it mike

Now you're making me work ... phew, let me wipe the sweat away... how's this? m

It would definitely be unique... ...just happened to have these leftovers on hand from the '65 Parisienne 409 ragtop project I've been picking away at... when my 'modellers add' allows mike

At least it's a dry cold here, Dan Very pleasing to see blue sunny sky and thirty degree temps after over a week of -30 chill. Lotsa black ice out there though. mike

Here's a real one for checking proportions... mike

Great trades with Mr Mopar and Bear; both great to deal with. mike

Great concept That nostalgic scheme is sure a lot easier on the eyes than the current carppy looking 'art' they festoon these things with. mike

...and for further reading.....

Now someone's got to build the pink '39 coupe from 'street rod' ... mike

St Albert Dodge is a little more interesting... this was the view out front a couple of months ago, with an A12 '69 Coronet in the showroom to boot mike

especially if they look as good as yours, Mike With Scenes Unlimited offering those eight lug wheels and a set of tires from either him or Fireball, it makes it easier to do a credible job building those old 4x4s. mike

Wow! that turned out great. Now I'm going to have to dig out my Wix diecast to see what I can do with it... mike

Turns out the headlight areas on the revell 64-65 chev truck grill look a little closer in size. Lotsa work no matter how you look at it. This grill, with minor variations in the center bars, was the face of Ford trucks for three years and surely deserved to be more than someone's 'artistic impression' in scale. Might be a good seller for a resin caster mike

Here's the closest ones I can think of...

'Caring' equals more money spent so the chances would appear to be slim that anything will happen. I don't believe 'rush' is the proper term either... this project was initiated four years before it hit the shelves. When whatever or whomever a company depends on for an accurate product lets them down, both the customers and company suffer mike

Thanks Ron. Interesting stuff there... too bad it's global shipping. mike

Yeah, we could be stuck with the kindergarten style avatars found on another model site; with no personality allowed mike

Wasn't that the one they spent a bunch of money on 'improving' the tool? Just fixing the roof and cowl would have improved it hugely. mike

Those mags look really good. From what I've seen, though, it looks like the Ford 6 lug wheels were limited to the sixties F350s with 20" wheels. So far, searching the net has revealed only five and eight lug 65/66 4x4s. Be interesting to see where the mock-up info came from; maybe someone's got mixed up with chevy info or it's another fantasy exercise like the F250 hubcaps. Never say never mike

Some more rough measurements here, covering the supplied chrome front plastic piece for the '69 F100 kit... The red width of grill line measures 76", orange line is 56", yellow and purple on the headlight door are both 9" and the blue signal light width line is 6.5". Height of center section is 13". So far, the only modified one I've seen that even approaches reality is this one by master craftsman Tom Ellifrit. Let's hope that they'll correct the fundamentals on this design if they're planning more pre-'70 F100 kits. Interesting to see these kits get a free pass by the commentators that didn't seem to be offered to the lindberg '61 Chev and revell '69 Charger and '90 Mustang kits. mike

Nice. Who makes the coupe, Ron? mike

Kinda like most of the big M2 stuff mike
