  1. Pursuits by police on World's Wildest Police Videos used to be narrated in sneering style by the immortal John Bunnell, who I usually referred to as "Bunny".
  2. '51 Vic - oooeee. You're breakin' my heart with this one! Would be a great transkit for AMT's re-released-a-million-times '50 convertible.
  3. I did go with Tire Rack for both cars; Goodyear Assurance on both (205/55R16 on the Cougar). Been happy with them so far. Took the Cougar to a car club meet up in Atascadero two weeks ago; ran without a hitch there and back and got around 29-30 mpg. And a week after I got home: dead battery. I noticed I'd left the mp3 player plugged in the cigarette lighter, so... Jumped it, started right up, drove it for about 30-45 minutes, unplugged the player and parked it. Next Sunday - dead again; guess it wasn't the player. Will get that checked out soon, as I really enjoy driving it.
  4. Earliest I can remember was an AMT '62 Tempest convertible when I was four; Dad built and I watched/helped. I don't think we painted it, and I played with it to death afterward. This would have been in '64 so Dad probably found it at a discount store.
  5. Haven't bought much in a while but I keep my eyes open. Passed on a couple '33 Chevy Panel kits whose bids hit the stratosphere, and a '58 Pontiac hardtop that did the same, but did snag this very decent '61 Fleetwood body: ... which will go to improve the damaged one I got from the Tennessee tractor auction some months back: ...then I can cut the good A-pillars from the blue body to fix a second complete one I have in the stash - and maybe convert it to a six-window short-tailed Town Sedan. (Jo-Han already shortened it a bit anyway to fit the box, so...)
  6. He's trying to catch up with a little old lady in a shiny red Super Stock Dodge!
  7. Brands X, Y and Z always lose to the sponsor's product.
  8. Bill, will the Jo-Han '57 DeSoto promo bumpers fit your model?
  9. Well that just sucks.
  10. Fine, Howard and Howard were three of my favorite Stooges.
  11. I do. Steve, is there any chance we'll get the Scale Stars 1/32 '40 Ford sedan?
  12. How tough were Imperials built?
  13. Looks a lot better than a lot of Sixties-era Revell chrome, anyway
  14. Maybe they could open all the gates like they've been doing with the other Mod Stocks and see what else is left? Hopefully enough to make a full detail job out of the often-reissued '64 Craftsman.
  15. Interesting; the last time the Switchers '32 Ford coupe was released, wasn't it the American Graffiti version?
