  1. Looks really nice
  2. That the resin kit from Missing Link? Looks pretty good to me.
  3. I understand there is not a perfect kit, a little flaw here or there is not an issue. but when you cannot look at a kit from any side, front, back, left, right or inside and not see a flaw, I have an issue. They did nice kits in the 60's and 70's.... what happened?
  4. If the 58 Ford was done, i would hope they fix all the screw ups on the '57's body and interior. Tired of correcting and hacking up AMT 57's......just sayin
  5. It is looking great, love the paint. I am building a 1:1 version of the car and a kit to go with it. As an FYI, the distributor goes where your coil is. You have the distributor in the radiator hose outlet. My 1: to be a clone of the movie car.... and it does have a 4 speed already.
  6. Saw them at Ollies yesterday, passed on the 32 for the 38 Van... Now I wish I got one
  7. Looks Great! I know why you enjoyed it, it is a very cool old kit.
  8. Very cool looking. Last one I did, I messed with the wheelbase to get it looking a bit better. I also cut out all the flat panels on the front suspension bars.
  9. I personally do not mind the simplified chassis. These are really nice looking kits and pretty darn accurate body-wise. I'll take an accurate body over a detailed chassis any day.
  10. I have had all these kits at one time or another. In my opinion, among the best from Monogram. Simple, to build and look great.
  11. No they didn't.... Just Y-Block Fords were in the rear, never any FE Ford.
  12. I was a fan of Art and am still a fan of Coast to Coast. Keeps me going when building at night. The show has always been a different perspective of things and really makes you "think" a little more. I used to drive alot at night and would search for him at 1am, listen til I lost the station and find him on another. Once I drove a 62 Cadillac home from Florida to Ohio and listened to him on Coast to Coast from Atlanta til the show ended when I was somewhere in Kentucky... The kicker was, it was a stock radio (radio search button was on the floor too) and I never switched the station when I found it in Atlanta... 1100am from Cleveland.
  13. That chrome was an option, as was rocker trim and a chrome piece around the door handles (not on this kit)
  14. Hope to see this return. I want to build more versions We know the tool is available.
  15. I like it... We all booger things so learn and keep going Hope this one comes back soon
  16. Looks Awesome. Very good use of a kit you don't have parts for or is too damaged. Kudos to ya
  17. It is looking good to me. I have only done the Olds so far and really had no problems with it. Now, I did a bunch of work to it out of personal preference. The front suspension bugged me, so I grafted the front of the frame from a Monogram 70 Chevelle. The Chevelle was 1/24 and the Olds 1/25, and the frame lined up really nicely. Granted, the frame is not super detailed, but better than it was.
  18. Looks Great... Wonder if the tool still exists.......
  19. Love Edsels and am watching this one for sure. Engine looks great too
  20. Chassis was the easiest part, I cut 2 frames at the rear foot well and glued together. Added a center plate at the joint to cover exhaust and driveshaft and mimic a spot for a carrier bearing
  21. Awesome work
  22. Looks AWESOME. Love this kit
  23. Looks great!!
  24. I like it.... A lot!!! How you tint that windshield?
