The boss has spoken! Steve

Mine has been sitting in a box for probably 25 years! I never really had much desire to build it until I started thinking about building the Grand Prix and Bonneville. Then I thought about how cool it would be to build all three of these '64 Ponchos together. I nearly traded off the LeMans a few months ago! Steve

Uh....yeah. Maybe in 2021. Steve

Now you see why I'll need a ton of them! Steve

You forgot MPC and Johan. Two of my favorites. Yeah, I know, they no longer exist, and they were pretty simplified for the most part. But they had a lot of great subject matter, and in general, at least the bodies were beautifully proportioned. Steve

And even in that case, MPC did a '69 Coronet R/T in 1/25th scale. Granted, not an easy one to find, but it lends itself to many more modification possibilities than the Monogram kit. Steve

This is what I really hope to get deep into over the next year. Seems like it would be a ton of fun!! A trio of 1964 Pontiacs. Bonneville, Grand Prix and LeMans. Steve

I'm going to need a bunch of them! Steve

Should be very easy to cast, either in resin or 2 part epoxy. A simple single half mold is all that is required. Steve

Right. Unless you're interest is foreign cars, there are basically only a handful of Monogram 1/24th scale kits, most of which can be substituted with better examples in 1/25th scale. Steve

Yes sir! Steve

If we're talking only 1/24th scale, I'm basically not interested in any of them. Steve

Because I don't think most of us thought that the question was designed to be that specific. If we're only talking about 1/24th scale, that eliminates quite a few manufacturers. Let's ask the OP. Is this discussion supposed to be limited to only 1/24th scale? Steve

Looking nice! I guess that I have to finally submit and buy some of these carbs! I haven't looked. Does anyone know if he carries 60s Pontiac tri-power carbs! I have several 1964 Ponchos I hope to be building in the near future. Steve

No takers? Steve

Help, help, I'm being repressed! Steve

Any time. Steve

Funny! It's on tv right now. The Outlaw Jose Wales. Steve

These are all from the same movie. "You two are just dumber than a bag of hammers." "Those boys desecrated a burning cross!" "Oh George.....Not the livestock." Steve

Looks exactly like my AMT 1961 Pontiac Bonneville top. Probably fits the '61 Impala as well. Steve

Happy to help Monty! Steve

Chicken Florentine Pasta. Steve

Steve

Not for dinner yet, but will be. Got a very good deal on whole pork loin at a favorite super market. $1.19 per pound. Got around an 11 pound loin for about $13.00 and cut and wrapped it myself. It ought to last the wife and I a good while. If we ate more pork, I would have bought several of them. Steve

Well, I'll just put it this way, I love modeling, but not enough to make it a "vacation destination". The wife and I get one, or possibly two vacations a year and they are very precious to us. If I have to decide between having a drink with Tom Daniels or touring along a beautiful mountain road in the Rockies, it's not much of a competition. (No offense Mr. Daniels!) I enjoy going to the occasional show, but it's not important enough to me to get too involved with it. If it's near enough to me to drive to in an afternoon, I'm game. If not, it better wind up on an already preset route, or I'm out. Steve
