  1. My movie car vote goes to......................
  2. The crushed car is a Vic.... look at the steering column
  3. Correction, the car in the air is there........ and the other is just a prop car.
  4. The crushed car has no glass. The broken windshield is not in it nor is there glass on the car. Someone added the jump car for sure.
  5. Ugh... was there with a 66 Marlin. They used an entire tube of glue on it I think.
  6. Another $60 delivery from my online honey hole......
  7. I saw this too and was wondering what was mostly lost and now retooled. Development? Hmmmmmm..... 66 Galaxie chassis with a new 67 Galaxie body and interior???? Please please please LOL
  8. Been searching for a grill for my car for months with no luck unless I wanted to pay $600+ for an NOS. I located 2 broken grills and decided I'd try to make one. It was pretty successful IMO. A bunch of cutting, super glue, epoxy, some extra bracing and I am pretty pleased. Anyone else have their model experience benefit them on another project? If wondering, the car is a 71 Monterey 2 door hardtop.
  9. Found these at an online shop Saturday, arrived yesterday. $62 for the pair, delivered. Thought I did well.
  10. LOL.... Yea, I recall that now. Well if you go styrene, I have a stash of 66 Galaxie hoods
  11. Nice job on this. It looks great. This kit was my very first big rig and I enjoyed it so much it got me hooked. I have heard many knock this kit because it is pretty much a snap kit, but in my opinion it is a great kit, especially to get your feet wet. I am gonna build another for a special build I have planned. Look forward to seeing your next one
  12. Looks great. Love the color. Your skills are constantly improving. Keep building
  13. This build is looking great. I have a similar build going with a resin sedan I got from Ed Jr. at Drag City. Personally I would ditch that resin hood and used a kit hood with the 66 Galaxie bubble grafted to it.
  14. Was just stating my opinion. Personally most of the Foose wheels are ugly to me.
  15. I watched a few Overhaulin' shows and if more than a few of the cars I saw finished were mine, I'd have been beyond pissed off. Never saw a build on there that the wheel and tire package would have made it out of the garage if it were my car.
  16. I for one can see it is the Revell Merc, and as for engine, the FE is a great choice over the ho-hum "everyone does a Chevy" thought. Kit-wise I would recommend the Foose/Roush engine from the 56 Ford truck, Revell 64 Thunderbolt engine (this gives option of automatic or 4 speed) or the Moebius 427 from the 65 Cyclone. All these can be found on Ebay. As an FYI, there was never a 427 Boss..... but there was the 427 SOHC (Moebius Cyclone) For those that do not know, this is an FE also, just with overhead cams. The Boss 429 is a 385 series engine (429/460) Foose/Roush engine Revell Thundebolt 427 65 Cyclone SOHC
  17. And it can be had in 1/8 scale!!!! Then you can really see the mess
  18. In stock form I'd be ordering a case of Toronados.... This one, not so much, but I will get one to support Round2's efforts. There are a few of these on Ebay asking big bucks...
  19. Everything but the separate Galaxie was talked about in the previous Round2 videos (If I missed it, my bad) Glad to see as a separate kit, and do not care that it is only a curbside. I can fix that.
