    Notice that the Bucket Seats, Tim B. speculated about do NOT appear in the hanger shot. So, his supposition that the seats are newly tooled holds water. It also makes me me thirst for more Hanger Shot pics. Just What else is lurking in there?

    Ah, Thank you. I can't wait to see it.

    Scalemates! Bah! Since editing is crowd sourced, every time somebody knowledgeable corrects a post, some body, who doesn't "Know the real history" goes back to 'correct it' back the original "wrong' history. I've watched it happen. Thus bad info is perpetuated while the real story gets lost. Very much like "Real History" in that way........... Edited to add. "That's why I don't bother correcting things at Scalemates, Tom"

    Dave, if we're Dreaming about the Ranchero, lets go all the way and Dream about the Country Wagon. Should be do-able.

    George, I don't remember Monogram doing a '71 Charger. Do you know which tooling they will be using? Have I missed Salvino's tooling up a '71 Charger themselves?

    A note On the Judson 'Charger. Somebody noted that the Instruction sheet is partly wrong on the carb mountings. They should be Vertical. Straight up & down, not slanted, at a 45 Deg.angle. I like the Little air cleaners, Tim.

    8 engines. One Box!

    Thank You, Robert. I remember seeing that pic, too. Just forgot about it. I'm not as sharp as I once was.......

    A Radio station Weatherman in Alaska in the 1970's was fired after giving the following weather report at 2:00 in the morning. "Ya wanna know what the weather is? Look out the (Blah-Blah) window!" Who knew the FCC listened at 2:00am?

    All, well and good, but can they at least tease us with pics of the Contents? No Offense, but I've now seen a dozen photos of a 50 year old box. I'm as nostalgic as the next guy, but c'mon, enough with just the box. Show us the tires. Show us this fabulous body that's been recreated. Show us the decals. Frankly, a sealed box, even of a new kit, does not really move me to reach for my wallet. I like a nice box, but I'm buying the contents, not a 'Pretty Picture".

    How about the '53 Stude, just to be different?
  12. stavanzer
    Thanks, Mark. That helps.

    Will the Upcoming GTO kit have the same "Up & Over Exhaust" that is shown up the Board? Is it the same 2 piece, adjustable Chassis that is in the MPC NASCAR Kits, or Something Different> I kinda want one of these.....

    Craig, I agree with you, but the rumors that have appeared online seem to indicate the the Revell/TD Bridges are burnt rather permanently. However, This is Modeling, and if the last 5 years have taught us anything, it has taught the Modeling Community, to "Never say Never" about Licensing Agreements and Old Tooling. We have almost no idea of what is happening behind closed doors, and what kind of abrupt changes can happen. So there is always hope.

    Notice that the Green & Yellow Camaro bodies are different. The Rear Spoiler and Cowl area are not the same. The Green one, has no notch to clear the Blower, and a smaller spoiler.

    Others will know better than I but, You had a bad chemical reaction between the primer and paint. You got a form of Crazing going on. Not sure what happened after that, however.

    IIRC, a Copy of his "Screech-like" character was used as as a murder victim, in an episode of Law & Order many years ago.
  18. stavanzer
    It might need to be shortened to fit, Rick, but it is certainly worth looking at if you have both kits. You know, Monogram did tool up a Blazer of that body style? Hard to find now.
  19. stavanzer
    Indeed, Mike. You are correct. At least figure out a way to put dome decent tires and wheels in the kit. But, It is nice.

    Daniel,, Maybe this will help tp show the Mindset in the late 1960's & early 1970's that spawned these wacky kits. http://www.showrods.com/home_page_links/home.html http://www.tomdaniel.com/ If you weren't a kid in those days, the appeal of these kits might be puzzling.

    A big bowl of Meh. But the engine is very nice.
  22. stavanzer
    Good Luck, Tom!

    That BK is a bit gaudy, isn't it? Hard to believe that we painted public buildings that brightly.

    I cashed the first paycheck from my New Job, yesterday. Wonderful. After being out is work for 5 months, is is good to be working again.

    It will be kinda fun to see what livery it has. And, I'll wager that nothing changes as far as the contents, except for possibly having a Taxi Rooftop sign. My guess is that all the police equipment will still remain in the kit too. So, your 429 powered Taxi, is a safe bet.
