Pretty sure most windshield wiper motors were electric by '65. The Comet's definitely were

Cool. Looks like it's the "California Sunshine" pickup with a stock grille. I'm definitely in for at least one of these. 😁

Hi Mark. I've been keeping an eye out for you on the board, don't know how I missed this.🙄 But glad to see you here. Love the Corvair. 👍👍👍

My score from the model show at the Atlantic Nationals car show in Moncton N.B. this past weekend. I bought the Malibu. The AMT Camaro was included with the plaque for "best GM" I won [somehow 😉] with my white/silver OBS Chevy pickup. The other 2 are door prizes. The Academy Hyundai delivery truck is a curbside but very detailed along the lines of what you'd expect a higher lever Japanese curbside car kit would be. I've been wanting one of these Revell VW vans. [is this actually a "combi" ?] now just need a couple little 4mm Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias logo decal for the back windows. 😁

For those interested , I went and measured across the grille of my uncle's old '84 Chevy C-20 pickup today , , , Right across the top of the stainless grille trim it measures 70". So, therefor the grille on the new Revell Blazer and Jimmy when it comes out should measure about 7cm which is very slightly over 2 3/4 inches. I don't have one to measure myself but just wanted to put that out there. Little update, Just measured the grille from the MPC?AMT '84 "Deserter" 4X4. It measures almost exactly 71mm according to my calipers. So it's a hair over 1/25. And the new Revell kits are wider so ??

Had some done by STS last year. It did take a while but I'm very happy with them.

You'd have to get ahold of them Len. I'm sure they can easily do them. When I had these made I just sent them a pic of the decal sheet I had and had them make the strips to the length and height I specified. I could have just sent them the sheet I have from the kit and they would copy the decals you want. I'd suggest to go that route for the Vette decals as they're a more complicated shape. As you can see, they can do them in any color, these are just the ones I asked for.

Why not just sent the kit decal sheet with the stripes to STS and have them make you a copy of them in yellow. Saves a lot of work and if they're an exact copy except for the color you know they'll fit. A set re-sized from the real car set would be a lot of extra work [you'll have to pay for] and may not fit the kit right in the end.

The AMT '68 Shelby Mustang and '69 Galaxie also had 10 spokes at the time so they may have been from one of those or possibly a set from later issue of the kit could have been put in. Not sure how many people here realize it [I know some do know this] but there were a couple slightly different versions of the Shelby 10 spoke wheel.

So don't make any reference to "Elenore" or the movie at all on the box. Just release it as a base model '73 Mustang Sportsroof showing a yellow car on the box. Don't even put the black on the hood. Maybe include the optional side stripe decals and show that on the box. Those who know and want an "Elenore" will know and buy the kit and those who don't care will get the kit also anyway. Personally, I couldn't care less about the movie or car [either one] but I just might buy a flat hood '73 Sportsback.

Same kit, different box.

there is a 3-d file for a nice set though. , , and one of the die-cast companies sold a set at one time that were perfect.

Yea, now all we need is an accurate set of wheels. 😉

If it tastes anything like emu, I'll pass.😝

You mean like these TJ? Looks like a rough ride but they'd probably keep the model from rolling off the shelf.

A couple mockup pics with the interior in the cab and it all mounted on the frame.

They're Pegasus "T"s

They're accurate to size but they're missing that beveled area between the spokes. Kinda ruins the look without it.

My brother Roger has an emu farm, they're enough trouble.

Just get a Canada Goose, same thing.

Rich, is it a '68 or '67 hood you need? The pic you posted is a '67. This is a '68, as you can see, they don't interchange.

Put a set of 5 spoke Pony wheels on that and it's be the twin of my father's car.

Here ya go TJ. Took these 20 years ago.

Sorry to hear that Mark. Maybe next year.

Just a couple copies of the same battleship here in Fredericton, all the car kits are sold out. Maybe we'll run into each other in Moncton next weekend Mark?
