  1. Imagine the backlash if they made an Obama funny car?
  2. Santa did not bring me any, but my son got an Impala Police Car, Rapto Truck and a 2015 Mustang. My daughter got a 34 Ford Street Rod.
  3. I tend to agree, the cars of the 70's were given a bad rap IMO. Dad had a Pinto he literally drove into the ground, Had in excess of 150,000 miles and he sold it for $25 to a guy that needed an engine. I recall that guys wagon on the road for a few years after. Same with the Granadas he had, drove the dog out of them and never really worked on them other than general maintenance. In the early 90's I had a 77 LTD II 2 door that I bought with 110,000 miles that cost me a whopping $100. My fiance drove it a lot and I recall one morning it was well below zero and blowing like a blizzard outside and her dads Mazda truck would not start, neither would her moms Bonneville (both fairly new) She said he could jump them off the Ford, and his stubborn self said "If my cars will not start, that old heap isn't going to" A few minutes later she went in the house and told him "The car is warming up if you want to jump yours" We never heard another bad word about the "heap" He even complimented the heater in the car that day. Even today, I'll take a 70's/early 80's Ford/Merc over a new car. My daily is an 82 Thunderbird. For precautionary reasons, I have a coil and ignition module in the trunk. That's about all that could strand me..... unless I am out of gas.
  4. Now that's cool. More of a Street version
  5. The chassis is not bad, the Revell Nascar chassis has rear coil springs, where the actual Cyclone race cars still used the leafs
  6. Revell could easily make a stock one using the 70 Torino parts. They would need the body, bumpers, rear glass. Different dash, but the Torino is really close
  7. I have used those for windows also. Off to get some donuts.
  8. Whoa! Great looking builds.
  9. I like all of 'em!
  10. Super looking builds!
  11. Sharp looking Mopar!
  12. Wish I could get that many in a year... All look great
  13. Sweet Barge! Love those 60's full size rides... All of 'em
  14. Definitely a great idea. Execution would take a lot of effort.
  15. Great looking builds. I am a bit partial to this body style since I have a 54 Victoria in the garage that I am converting to a Skyliner glasstop. Complete with correct frame. Much easier on the 1/25 for sure.
  16. Looks good. I have one that is being made to a street car, but want another for a Nascar build. FYI, the Monogram Thunderbird chassis fits well, but needs lengthened.
  17. I have had several great transactions lately..... BIGTRUCK, vintagedragcrazy, Slusher, crazyjim, eastown, gardnerpag44, Mredjr, bismarck and others I even messed up shipping labels on 2 packages and both parties still happy with what they received.... SMH Not sure why my text is suddenly highlighted????
  18. Lindbergh got it right all the way around. I do not believe I ever read anything negative about this kit. Now, to get Revell to hire the guys that measured the car and tooled this kit.......................... LOL
  19. Have one here also.....
  20. Looks great. Love the grill That screw in the tank is crazy, since the screw tube sets inside the tank tube, I filled mine and will just glue it.
  21. That has gotta be the most insane build I have ever seen. Wow is all I can say.........
  22. Sweet
