  1. Got a '63 Falcon convertible promo body with an unbroken windshield frame, very reasonable, to finally fix the promo I've got, and this is on its way - cheeeeep! Surprisingly straight for an acetate promo other than the rear panel; will grind it down to even it out a bit, and maybe modify the chassis to shorten the wheelbase so the rear wheels are better positioned in the openings (like I did on my '58 Nomad wagon promo). Anyone have a good original '58 issue kit rear bumper? Not sure why it didn't get bid up much, although the seller may have made a big mistake when he cut-and-pasted the description from one of his other models saying the car was missing two wheels and had decals all over it

  5. Unfortunately the Starliner script for '61 was different from '60. An MCG photoetch set for the '61 Ford would be great - I'd be in for three of 'em.
  6. Somebody (Fireball Modelworks?) was making correct deluxe wheelcovers for the '71-'73 Cougar; anyone remember who?

  8. So does anyone make photoetch or 3D printed Starliner scripts for the '61?

  10. Marronaise, eh - isn't that what Honey Boo Boo puts on her sammich?
  11. A problem you may have here is that this is a Cycolac promo body rather than styrene, so regular glue may not hold - try using one of the stronger solvent glues (Tenax?). If you do have access to a Ranchero body, you could use it to copy the missing area with two-part mold putty and resin.

  14. Circles under the eyes can be treated with slices of cucumber.
  15. Product placement from Chrysler; for some reason they didn't mind showing their cars getting smashed up on screen. I would also imagine stunt drivers appreciated their handling qualities!
  16. SteveG, any chance we'll see the All Stars/Scale Stars 1/32 '40 Ford sedan?
