Here’s a couple pics of a 1:1 1970 Boss 302 that we just finished up putting together. It shows various finishes. Gloss, satin, flat and metallic. Dennis -
Love the truck and the movie! You did a fantastic job on the truck. I have the movie on my DVR and watch it 4 or 5 times a year. Dennis

Not sure what kit these came from, they were in my parts box for years!! They look like they are/could be Halibrand wheels. Dennis

What made the Edsel fail ?
Mercuryman54 replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Dads 1960 Edsel was designed to have backup lights. They were part of the design, but an option to be hooked up!! The ones on Dads car were never hooked up, they still have the factory tape over the light socket holes. What would it have cost for the backup lights to be hooked up from the factory maybe $10.00 for the switch/wiring and 2 bulbs!! I mean the Bezel and lenses were already there!! -
What made the Edsel fail ?
Mercuryman54 replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have, my Dad has owned a 1960 Edsel Ranger 2 door sedan since the mid 80's. It's basically a Ford. All 60 Edsel's were based on the Ford platform. In 1958/59 the upper class Edsel's were built on the Mercury platform. The lower class Edsel's on the Ford platform. By the time the 1960 Edsel debuted it was already discontinued. I believe production ceased in November 1959. I have driven both 1958 and 60 Edsel's but not the 59. They have the same feel as any comparable late 50's car. I also believe the picture of the 2nd car above is the prototype grille and trim, not a Canadian version. I will try to post a picture of Dads 60. Dennis -
