TCM does a fine little tribute:

It'll need shallower wheels (borrowed from the '60 Ranchero?) and a set of those 3D-printed '63 Galaxie dog dishes to be perfect, but still a good idea.

Hey, I like Chad - just a little ribbing about the use of a certain word. The only change I wish they'd make is a brief still shot of the actual parts in the kit, or at least a still closeup of the box bottom - just long enough to pause on.

I think the designer poked himself in the eye when he saluted! -

Site Problems

Looks like we're good - thanks for fixing it! -
Only 35 "cools" this time, but it's a short month:

Interesting thought - the '60 Ranchero wouldn't require too much retooling to make a two-door wagon: modified body, an extension for the rear 2/3rds of the interior bucket, and rear windows. Still should have a stock six-banger. Hmm. Same deal for the '59 El Camino...? Wait a minute. When's the last time they issued the MPC '29 A Woody? Since they were investigating that tool anyway - reissue it with '60s chrome reverses, surfboards and new decals/box art. THAT sure sounds like a Round2 effort! What do you think?

That legendary, unforgettable car from the Batman TV series: '61-ish Humber Super Snipe - shows up in episode after episode for all three seasons -

Plus JohnG on the Round2 forum told me the chassis and interior molds were missing, so even if the body were fixed...

Seems like I stirred up a few hornets with that one - I 'shopped it with a shot of the original box and this image from the '66 Nova accessories brochure, since the artwork style was similar: (image via oldcarmanualproject.com) Took some tweaking to do, but I thought it came out decent except I forgot to reverse the wipers. Note I also tweaked the MSRP code

Another gluebomb orphan of the storm; cheeep eBay BIN: '63 Riviera. The skis caught some sun and warped, but those delicate A-pillars look OK. Looking forward to cleaning it up! Even better, I have photos of my friend's 1/1 scale gluebomb for detailing: 65k-mile low-option car; crank windows, no A/C or power seats. Sat in a garage for over 25 years; cats kept the mice away but peed on it a lot; thus the surface rust...

First time it's worked all day - would our mods care to chime in? Running Chrome on XP (Yeah, I know, I'm a dinosaur). This forum has had more crashes today than one of John Connor's Russian dashcam videos...

Got the adapters today - they do fit the engraver but there's a slight wobble. If I use the adapter like a pin vise, I can start the hole enough to finish it with the engraver.

Model Car Garage could have a field day with this one - grille, interior trim, scripts, etc. Hope it can happen!
