Really Neat Build. Way out of the box thinking, and it works nicely.

Wow! I've never seen these before.

Chris at Bolide sent me the parts I ordered quickly, and packaged very well. They are perfectly detailed, down to the smallest piece. The Gas Cans and Hi-Lift Jacks are truly superb. He has Bronco Bumpers to for the Frist Gen, Revell Bronco too. Order from Chris with confidence. BTW, he is taking a break to get re-stocked, so it may take him some time to respond. I'll be ordering more anon.

Wife and I watched it, too. If you take it as a Fun, Light movie, it works. But, it was not great cinema, just fluff. But, very good fluff!

Watched 'Samaritan" with Sly Stallone. Pretty Decent Movie, with a good storyline. Stallone 'owns' the movie, but in a good way. Best part! Check out the totally Blacked Out Villains cars. Three of them. Buick (?) GNX, 1980's El Camino & and a really Cool, 72 (?) Ford Torino Four Door. The Tori no always leads the pack and gets a bit more screen time than the others. Hard to see what wheels are on the cars. Thirty years ago, there would already be an article in "Starlog Magazine" about "the Cars of Samaritan" but, that kind of thing is long gone. I'd really like to try to build one of them. The GNX and Elky are both in kit form, I believe.

Food Price Inflation. I'm in California. Had to buy Eggs yesterday. Two Cartons of Eggs, 18 count, 8.68 each. Total, $17.36. 48 cents an Egg! Just Outrageous. At this rate, I'll need to save my rapidly dwindling paycheque for food, not models...

Monogram, Did.

Good Luck! I'll be praying for you.

I've never gotten a Salvino's kit. The record still stands......

Love Those wheels! That car just hits the Spot!

I drooled over that review last night. Man, Round2 looks to have a Winner here. I hope the 5000 first run kits don't sell out too fast.

Well, that rules that out, then. Dang!

I just hope they do a good job on the motor, unlike the botch on the Model T. This kit is going to be T.R.o.G. fodder for a long time, and I hope they eventually throw in some hop-Up parts. Dave, you up to sharing some photos of Beach Racers to them?

Wow, that was fast! Laser Sharp Build, Too!

NIce Work. You used to see a lot of these "Single Hand" trucks here in Kern County, but few with such Fancy Beds. Most of them had a deep, V-shaped groove in the back of the bed, running from side to side. I like this project.

I like it. I notice that the Dark Coloured Machine has the odd Double Roof that Revell used on their kit. From the position of the gas can rack, looks like the roof could hold quite a bit of weight. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Looking Good. Keep it up. What colour are you thinking for the body?

Great Build, of a Unique Vehicle,

But, your Scratch built one looks better, than the kit part.

Very, very nice work. A clean, sharp build.

I really like the extended frame, Tom. The car just looks right, on that chassis.

The '40 Willys Coupe kit has been released many times over the years. If you just want to build the Coupe, the older versions of the kit, should be pretty easy to find on the secondary market.

Laser Sharp Build! As others have noted, you nailed both the colours and photography. Really Impressive build.

Re: 4x4 Vans. I've seen a couple of them on the road lately. Both were newer looking, with large Roof Racks and a vaguely Commercial Air about them. No Company Names on the doors, but they were gray or white and did not look like "Pleasure Vans".

Thanks sharing this. A new Superbird will be very nice.
