I was watching the 1943 movie Reveille with Beverly last night, and in a scene set at an Army camp entrance, this rolled by: Obviously based on a '35-'36 truck chassis, it's some kind of Army staff/command car; anyone know more?

At last - a '65 Lark Daytona! No? Ah. '65 Skylark GS! No? Oh I know - '65 Mercury Colony Park! No? Wait - Round2 found the Hero '66 Imperial tool and redid it as a full detail Green Hornet Black Beauty! (Anyone else wanna play here? - "comprehensive, extensive" so it's not a Round2 reissue)

Good to know - I was at the Deerfield store today and there was nothing on sale or clearanced. No Supernatural Impala yet either, though they had the two-door hardtop. Will check back soon...

I want to; still working the learning curve on two-part molds. I have a set that I've molded and slush-cast copies without the axle tubes; kept getting voids in the lug nuts but haven't done any of these since getting the pressure pot and compressor.

Got a couple things ordered from eBay seller sportfuryus - MPC '65 Dodge engine: Need it for the valve covers and TorqueFlite for the '62 Newports - will cast up an extra set. Also got these wheel backs from an AMT '68 (?) Vette: To me these are some of the best steelies ever tooled; just need outer rims - may use the ones from the old Revell '56 Chevy for the way they taper. Finally, I decided to pull the trigger on this 300-watt 365nm UV light so I can cure and crank out headlight, turn signal and taillight lenses quickly: When it gets here next month I'll let you know whether how well it works.

Which one do you mean? Are you looking for a windshield frame for one of them?

Sounds like we might get back the '56 Buick and '56 Eldorado Biarritz in 1/32, now with glass for the first time in over 60 years. The plastic tires in those kits were pretty well molded; not sure why they'd want to replace them with vinyl? Unfortunately the Buick was last offered as a custom, so the stock bumper/grille would have to be recreated. I wonder which Oldsmobile and Pontiac they're referring to? Hurst Hairy Olds? 1/32 '67 Firebird snap kit?

Golden anniversary! My best wishes to you both.

Got '62 Newport #3 1/2 yesterday, and as the Royal Air Force mechanics say, converted it to components. Got the engine from #2 dismantled and somehow managed to saw off the fan, alternator and molded-on but off-center power steering pump without breaking any of the belts (but broke an exhaust manifold while sawing it off). Did some research today and found Revell molded the wrong air cleaner for it; it's for a 318 Poly engine - '62-'66 era. I'll just borrow one off a Jo-Han Dodge/Plymouth along with the valve covers and TorqueFlite (the Revell trans is a 3-speed manual).

Washed down in a flood maybe? A friend of mine's dad's beater '77 Coupe deVille ended up like that, sticking partway out of the mud after a flood went through their ranch near Ojai, CA.

And the plugs are pre-wired!

Thought about it briefly, but decided to go with the stock chassis since it fits the body. I may use some 1/16" steel axles to replace the warped torsion bars, but I don't feel like doing a full dress-up on this one like with the '65 Nova project.

A lot of potential modeling subjects here, albeit expensive ones like all those '63 Pontiacs - and I got a kick out of the Grant Piston Rings Morris Minor pickup delivery vehicle (didn't they need to get those parts in a hurry?)!

Width is very close, but length was very carefully condensed. Are you working with an original kit body, an original promo body, or the X-EL reissue body? Comparing a Revell Eldorado and a Jo-Han '60 Fleetwood:

Smells like lemon

Funny, the 1973 John Milius movie Dillinger had both of them killed before John D. as well. Still don't think they'll ever top Warren Oates for that role.
