And a '59.

So did I, about 25 years ago :

From Father Knows Best, season 4, episode 11. Clear shot on IMCDb: http://imcdb.org/vehicle_435109-Siata-208S-Spyder.html History of one particular car; some good restoration photos: http://www.automotiverestorations.com/siata-208s Somewhere in my stash I have the December '68 issue of Rod & Custom showing it getting a Chevy V8 transplant for singer Barry McGuire.

I've noticed that the taillights AMT put in its '63 Ford kits don't have the crossbars or backup light bezels. Has anyone swapped in the ones from the Mysterion? They look way better but I can't tell if they're the correct size. Anyone have a set they could measure and tell me the diameter? Thanks!

I knew the term "Opel Blitz" would be coming soon - many many builders have used that chassis, but the wheels and military tires just aren't right - and I'd like to think Round2 would rather put my money in their kangaroo's pouch than see it go to Italeri or the aftermarket. Plus they can sell the wheels and tires as a parts pack, and they could get as many variations on that cab-and-chassis unit as Moebius does on their Ford pickups. Can't hurt to suggest it.

I have an original built-up Monogram '34 Cabriolet and there are no swirl marks in the maroon plastic; it's smooth enough that a good waxing will really make it sparkle. Good luck with it!

Ha! Motor Trend had the same sentiment when the car was new: "...fender skirts? Oh, come now!"

And a similar suggestion to the struggling Heller: This'll help get your Renault Estafette off the ground.

Speaking of "the real thing", a suggestion for Round2/AMT: Put your money where your mouth is and tool up a REAL delivery body and chassis for one of your existing truck kits (yes, including those wheels/tires): The Coca-Collectors would buy plenty of them, and so would the rest of us builders, many of whom would toss the delivery part and build various haulers. Consider the gauntlet thrown.

That '62 Dodge keeps whispering to me, even though (other than the wheelcovers) it'd come out looking like a clunker next to the Jo-Han kit. Oh well, I have my beady eyes on something else this week...

Let's see, take the tractor from the MPC Indy car kit, and the forks and wheel from the Monogram Cherry Bomb, scratchbuild the blade/chute, and...

And I'd be really excited about™ it. I freeze-framed the box-bottom shot at 1080p and... yep, they're molded in again - no stock lights on the clear red tree. Give 'em brownie points for tooling a new firewall with a separate master cylinder, at least, rather than tossing in the one from the '64 Impala.

Another idea: a '48-'49 Hudson conversion for the Moebius kit (never really liked the later grille).

Interesting. What brand is it? Is it available in the USA?

Some of my old rebuilders were put together with Ambroid cement - that stuff seems to come off pretty easily, thank goodness.

Aw, gee - thanks!

Forgot to mention: An accurate "Slim Jim" Roto Hydramatic transmission for the Moebius '61 Catalina/Ventura, the AMT '62 Catalina, and even for a couple vintage kits - the Jo-Han '63 Starfire and AMT '64 Grand Prix. (Chief Joseph, if you decide to take this on, please put me down for four of them!) Also these Olds/Buick steelies from the '50s/'60s: Lots of low-budget drag racers used them along with the Olds rear end; even the '55 Chevy rollover stunt car in American Graffiti had them:

Don't care how nice looking he is, as long as the wheels are OK. (Sorry, it was just too good to pass up!)

Too rich for me - I like the '65 better anyway. The seller does have other goodies I'm watching...

your troubles away
