  1. Fine by me - I'd like to get one more original Nova wagon interior before my fellow detail freaks drive the prices back up .
  2. Closest you'll probably find are either the wire wheel covers from the AMT '66 Olds 442 convertible, or the ones from the Polar Lights '64 GTO.
  3. "Good news!" "What?" "The Yucca Valley Walmart still has no models!" "Great! Now moving on..."
  4. No you don't. It was Superman II, The Richard Donner Cut per IMCDb. Another 1/8 '32 shows up in the amusement park in 1941:
  5. Once while channel surfing, I caught a scene from a Mexican or South American drama in which a gentleman was playing with a remote control Porsche 356. Another guy, apparently the villain, enters and says, "Do you remember when I smashed your toys when we were kids?" and starts to stomp on the car. Just as his foot hits it, the first man pushes a button on the remote, and the Porsche explodes, blowing the bad guy to bits.
  6. I'm surprised it isn't painted red like in the comic books!
  7. Boo who?
  8. The first one used a 1/8 '65 Vette in a scene where it was doubling for a full-size '75 Firebird crashing into a school bus, along with another Corvette and a Jag XKE: (image via IMCDb)
  9. Also - not spotted today, but from back in June; just finally got around to downloading it. '59 Chevy Biscayne in Northbrook, IL:
  10. A few items from my trip to Oregon last week. Willys Aero at a little hot rod shop in Madras: A few blocks away, at the Madras Air Museum (Erickson Collection): On Highway 97 southbound; someone had a very bad day at the dragstrip in this '34 3-window: Finally, I "spot"-ted this in Boron, CA:
  11. I remember one of the buses we rode in as kids had a Dymo label stuck on the dash reading "NO DOUBLE CLUTCHING".
  12. Got that '62 Chrysler hood today - inside the box, it was wrapped with several feet of toilet paper . And it was two-ply!
  13. Here's an example dated 1965, from a batch of slides I got at an estate sale. Engine looks like dual carb Studebaker; good luck IDing the rest:
  14. Well, that's one way to fix the problem with the roof...
  15. "Give the TV a rest." After my granddad's nice big color TV caught fire and burned up his living room, I had no trouble obeying that rule!
  16. Over a year later, and after getting outbid on a couple others, I got an NOS hood: My actual model building is on hold for now; since I moved back to CA I've been working pretty much six days a week and where I live I don't really have a hobby space figured out yet - although everything is safely stored.
