  1. Great stuff! Nice detail shots of the '63 pickup especially. On the '57 300, what's been "modified"? New decals? I love the bullet-centered Cadillac Sabre wheels it has; I'm saving a couple sets of those for kustoms, or maybe if I get a reissued '58 Jo-Han Fleetwood.
  2. And then my Uncle Mike says when people thank him for his service, "Thanks for the free three-year vacation in Germany!"
  3. Ours, Yours and Mine - no, wait - Yours, Mine and Ours was a 1968 film starring Henry Fonda, Lucille Ball and Tim Matheson, who was the voice of Johnny Quest.
  4. The original '58 body is supposed to still exist; with the new Chevelle chassis available, it should be no big deal to bring it back (and a reissued body would go a long way toward restoring original kits, not to mention fixing some inaccuracies on the current Edsel!)
  5. Bob, if you do see them, please ask for an update on the old Revell '62 Mopars and the 1/32 '56 Buick?
  6. Went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
  7. I don't recall the AMT '56 Ford Crown Vic having a crossover; was its dual exhaust setup incorrect? Sounds like the ram's horn manifolds as well as the crossover setup might be a good aftermarket possibility for the 3D folks or resin casters.
  8. Owens Corning Fiberglass's mascot is the Pink Panther.
  9. Model builder's instructions for the above: Take a block of wood and carve away everything that doesn't look like a motorcycle.
  10. AMT XR-6 was a one-and-done, right? Same with the '66 Craftsman T-bird - I think that's the only case where the tool is known to still exist? Of course the 1911 Chevy touring was probably the best-known one-off.
  11. "Potato, potato, tomato, tomato, let's call the whole thing off - I'm sorry, Mr. Gershwin and Mr. Gershwin but I don't get the point of this song?"
  12. Sorry to hear actor Richard Roundtree, star of the Shaft trilogy, passed away at 81 after a fight with pancreatic cancer. In his honor, here's the car/boat/helicopter chase from Shaft's Big Score!: https://youtu.be/u0sUO_unxPs?si=f_TPLXN7yKtT6BL-&t=5183 Here and in Earthquake as daredevil Miles Quade, nobody rocked black leather like Roundtree!
  13. Thanks for the input! I've seen a toy hauler that had been converted into a sheriff's office that might have worked - secure doors and windows, lots of built-in drawers and workbench, no built-in furniture to be removed - but it had some body damage and floor rot in the bathroom, so I passed. The upcoming Gene Winfield auction has a trailer I like, but there's a LOT of drama going on with the estate right now (and that's putting it mildly) so I'll keep other sources in mind as well.
