I used to watch this Dave Edmunds video on MTV, when I was in the USAF. I was a favorite of mine, especially because of the race cars shown. Now, I want to know what series of racing this is, and how to find some still pics of the cars. I can guess that the series is some sort of semi-homemade cars, that it is in the U.K., and dates from the late 1970's to the early 1980's. Here is the Video.

Starfix!?! Holy Cow, I admire you. It looks great for a paint mule!

I don't know what happened to it. There was talk sometime back here on the forums, when the "Pulled Pork Blazer" was announced that somebody had a hood, and was looking to get some resin copies made. I've never seen anymore about it. Be worth looking that thread back up and sticking it here, just so the info does not get lost.

Wow!

I like where this is going. Keep up the good work. BTW, what kit is it? What scale? 1/48th?

I like your thinking. Sounds like a great idea. I jump in, but I have at least 3 group builds half started, and I'm not going to commit to any more.

Cool, Snake! C-17 Pilot at work. Neat birds, for Trash Haulers. (I'm an ex F-15 Crew Chief, so all them other planes are just second best!) You have a lot to be proud of.

I saw the word "Creeper" and instantly thought of the computer game 'Minecraft' that my grandson has taught me to play. Creepers are on of the biggest opponents in the game. I'm in Bakersfield, north and west of you. Welcome to the board.

Thanks, Tim for your usual Outstanding review. Kits looks good. I hope the public snaps it up in droves.

Not Sure what parts you would need to backdate this truck other than new rims. Even the hard rubber tires could be re-used.

Happy Birthday, Snake! NOthing Clever to say. Just Glad to know you through this board!

Beautiful Photos, Steve. They look the same to me, but that is not saying much.

I have a stock (Well Mostly Stock) build in progress now. It uses this kit. Which also offers a Stock Tudor Sedan As well as the Perion Flathead Hop Up parts. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1931-1940/amt-1934-ford-2-doo/?view=roll So far I like it, and I find no fault with the body. My guess is, that if Round2 were to laser scan the body of a 33/34 Tudor, and mold it, you would have real problems telling the two (new & old) apart. But, there aren't that many stock Tudor's out there, and most street rods have had some massaging done to the bodys for better fit, and to "Look Better". But, I could be wrong.

Here are the HCJ Instructions. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1951-1960/amt-57-thunderbird-/

Very Nice, build!

Looks like "Entrapment" to me.

I really like that pair of '72's, Tim.

How soon before we see this kit again? I'll bet there is a re-pop, (molded in white this time) with maybe a few lost parts restored by opening all the sprues & a correct hood, in the pipeline. Add new decals, some pad-printed tires & slicks and those 5 spoke mags, and you'd have an all new kit. I do wish they'd fix the hood issue though. Heck, give us two hoods. Couldn't hurt. You could get a 3'n'1 kit out of kit out it pretty easily. Stock, Drag, NASCAR. (Well, kinda-sorta NASCAR) Speaking of Racing, any way they could find the insert for the 4 spoke racing steering wheel? If you don't put any Flags on the decal sheet, and show the car only in white, black, blue or yellow colours, the dreadful heritage would be mostly invisible, except to us old fogies. Given that the Revell '69 is not currently on the market, i think it would sell well enough.

Man, those Headrests would make great Headlight Pods on a Full Tilt Showrod, though.

The new MPC "78" Ford Bronco has some too.

Sunday Afternoon, Burgers from Carl's Jr. Just me and my wife. No Kids, No Drama (for right now) and time to eat and relax. Worth Noting, IMHO!

This^^^^^^^^^^

I'd really like to see that!

Tires are not great this time around either. Only part I need out of it will be the Decals.
