    Searchng with "Brasil" instead of "Brazil" will give you all the local sites. Of course, it's all in Portugese, but thankfully don't need it to read a year and a model.

    I'm amazed by the inking in this B. F. Goodrich ad

    Discord works on computers too.

    For a mere $2000 , HRE will sell you one of these wheels made of 3D printed titanium. Apparently it weighs a little under 20 pounds. It looks almost too delicate to do the job, but I guess they know what they're doing.

    As I recall, the spare tire on the Lindberg kit has a reasonable looking hubcap, so I suppose you could make a cast of that.

    A great find. Thanks for sharing!

    Tamiya made a 1/24 Lotus 7. Most would say that's close enough.

    For style, it would have to be 1931. From the cheapest Ford to the most expensive Duesenberg, never before or since did you have so many consistently good looking designs.

    At this point, take it as a given that any emails like this are some sort of scam.

    Is it curbside, or does it have a chassis, becuase the drivetrain is one of the most interesting things about the Previa.

    And I suspect most of the people who would want a '32 Ford roadster wouldn't need any kind of licensing tie in to convince them to pick one up.

    As far as more recent kits that keep buying over and over again, it would be Revell's '29 A pickup and '40 Ford coupe.
  14. Richard Bartrop
    Didn't Revell release a version of their '32 roadster in the early 2000's that was almost identical to that?
  15. Richard Bartrop
    And if Revell thinks there's a market for nostalgia about Grease, and Starsky and Hutch, why not The Beverly Hillbillies?

    I was talking about the Cadillac V-16 and Mercedes-Benz 500K kits, but a decent AMX or Javelin would be nice..

    As much as I love the Jo-Han classic car ktis, I think it's pretty clear that they aren't coming back.
  18. Richard Bartrop
    No question about it, the Jo-Han classic kits. Even after all these years, some of the best car kits ever made.
  19. Richard Bartrop
    A good idea for sure, but I think some more contemporary subjects would also help.
  20. Richard Bartrop
    Exactly, which leads me to think that maybe this isn't a completely useless exercise.

    The GT Hawk is on my want list as well, and the 1956 Chrysler 300C was one I never dared to hope for before Moebius introduced it. Some other '50s cars I'd like to see:

    The running gear is about as close as we're ever going to get to a traditional hot rod parts pack.

    Iconic to enthusiasts still count, and is probably even more relevant, since it is an enthusiast crowd we're talking about, but if we're talking about the general public, it's hard to think of a more iconic piece of Americana than the Checker Cab.
  24. Richard Bartrop
    There are certainly iconic stock vehicles that haven't been kitted, but thank you for clarifying.
  25. Richard Bartrop
    Yes, you can, and I have the Bill Niekamp and John Athan roadsters on my project list, but that's not the topic.
