I've been casting up wheelcovers lately based on the Craftsman wheel with the Ford lettering; got all or most of the Styline stuff in my parts pile - really want to build a custom now. Maybe with a Hemi from the Predicta or something else unusual... Anyone have the scoopless hood?

That's fine just so long as they don't mold them in Metalflake again...

Well, look at it this way - if Round2 buys Revell, then very soon Chad will be showing us the reissues of the '62 Plymouth and '62 Chrysler convertible!

Great to see a full kustom Rambler! Nice smooth job.

It's that time again... With apologies to O. Winston Link: OK, one more.

Terrific job, JC - excellent build thread too.

Back in the early '70s, Ira Dahm from Car Model took that trailer and kitbashed it into a three-wheel chopper - it was called the "Candy Chop". http://www.showrods.com/gallery_pages/candy_chop.html Waste not, want not!

Problem solved: Completed listing, but they should be relisting it soon: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-FORD-THUNDERBIRD-HARDTOP-BODY-1-25-SCALE-RESIN-/382416096740?hash=item5909c68de4%3Ag%3AucwAAOSw~gRVla3W&nma=true&si=toZlm1ZWcfOhNUE1yc78Lcxo8yk%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Yes - always run away after you light the firecracker.

Got something cool this afternoon - original Styline front and rear ends for the AMT '57 Ford. Thanks Larry! Hmm. Wonder how they'd look on a Ranchero?

gotcha covered there

First thing I look for? Clear photos (on eBay). Seriously, what's with the 500p size you can't enlarge? Lacquer check on a body is pretty much a dealbreaker for me; it's tough to level that off without losing emblems and trim - got a '62 Fairlane that awaits a better body if I can get one cheap(ish). Other things I look for: Continental kits that leave glue damage on rear bumpers, fender skirts that leave glue damage on quarter panel trim and wheel openings, seat belts that leave glue damage on upholstery, and louvers that leave glue damage everywhere .

Aww, I thought from the title you were going to be working your magic on an AMT '67 Galaxie, especially since you have cats . What type of radio is shown in the Brazilian Ford? Looks like AM/FM/shortwave?

That's the problem with hiring child labor.
