    Man, that is some nice craftsmanship. You should build hobby rooms as a sideline! One question: You say you live in a one-bedroom apartment, with a garage - on a farm? And how did you get the OK from your landlord? Must be a nice guy.

    So here's a tougher one. Although the summer's gone I'll try to carry on Although you won't be with me And when school is through I'll still be loving you Oh, nine months can be so long... Hints: Singer was born in Colorado. Regional hit in the Southwest in late 1959. HUGE hit in South America, however - the singer became very successful there and even more so behind the Iron Curtain. Lovefordgalaxie should get this one easily.

    You flew too high Off of the ground Hit stormy weather And had to come back down... Probably don't need hints on this one?

    "Cleaning"? What is this word "cleaning" of which you speak?

    You got a great deal on that Pierce-Arrow! It's a V-12, actually. First time I've seen that kit's engine close up; it looks like a 12-cylinder version of a Buick nailhead - maybe put the extra one in an AMT Riviera to freak people out?
  6. ChrisBcritter
    The kit isn't my cup of... soda, but those drum headlights and possibly the suicide front axle mount would be great for my T speedster project. Have to watch for one being parted out.

    How about green and white as a (very late) Edsel dealer service truck? I have one mint '60 pickup hubcap you can use to cast some up, if you like. Also, if you decide not to use the chrome reverse wheels... (hint hint...)

    One more vote for the Sambar!

    She really belted that one!

    Is the rear end in the Jo-Han SC/Rambler a Dana?

    R.I.P. Florence. A rare one from 1970: "Mrs. Brady does Motown!"

    Right back at 'cha.

    Just got a sealed AMT 1/43 '48 Ford coupe, mis-listed as a '40 so that must have thrown off any other bidders. For under a ten-spot, I figure if Round2 reissues it someday, that's about what it would go for anyhow. (Handy hint: You can make a quick '42 grille for this kit from the bottom of a '37 Chevy custom grille split lengthwise and a '55 Nomad chrome finned valve cover!)

    Wonderful job on these, Tulio! When I had my '71 Mk III it took a lot of junkyard hunting to find four good centers like that one. You could probably make a few bucks reproducing them. What brand of UV-protected epoxy resin did you use? I imagine a lot of folks here would like to use a clear epoxy that doesn't turn yellow for things like lenses on models.

    Just don't use that shot of the Edsel cluster as a color reference! Here you go:

    They're also a way to avoid injury and death from being hit by sloppy and distracted DRIVERS.

    Nice clean rebuild! Did you have much trouble disassembling it? With all those delicate parts in the front end, it must have been hard getting the wheels off without breaking anything. (And if you're not using that tonneau cover... )
  19. ChrisBcritter
    Fingers still crossed for you, Harry. Hope you can have some family with you over the holidays, and their presence helps you get better.
  20. ChrisBcritter
    VERY cool. Can you flip it and show the chassis? I have got to get back to work on my '61 Comet... I'm using the '67 Mustang chassis under one of my '61 Rancheros; already adapted the engine compartment and the chassis is next (trans tunnel is way too tall, and it needs to be lengthened/widened).

    Those are actually the factory-optional Rally wheels; just paint the centers to match the body and paint chrome on the trim rings, the centers and around the slots, and you're good to go!
  22. ChrisBcritter
    Yes, if the "partial new tool" were a 300 two-door wagon body (and while they're at it, put the chrome taillight bezels and stock lenses back in)... Back to the '68 El Camino: The improvement to the tool is welcome; now I'll finally add one to the stash.
  23. ChrisBcritter
    Let the wild speculation begin! (ain't I a stinker?) With a partially-new-tool '66 Nova wagon?
  24. ChrisBcritter
    Big improvement! Looks like the body was short-shot next to the driver's side taillight?
  25. ChrisBcritter
    Thanks Bill! Edit: Just checked the measurements against the wagon body and it looks like it will just fit; hope the curvature matches.
