  1. And, Moulded in Colour! Bleu, No Less!
  2. Well, I've Done My Part. Bought One, which is all the budget allows right now. I've read that they are selling fast, so that is good. I hope they do well. Wouldn't a Coke themed '72 Chevy Pickup sell well, right now?
  3. Going Back to the tires on this kit. I have the Squad Rod Nova from a couple years ago. I checked last night. The Bag of tires for both the Nova and this new Impala are the same. Identical tires in both kits. So, my OCD is satisfied now. I'll be using the Stock Wheels from the AMT Chevy Police/Fire van in my build. They are close enough to correct for me. Even better, I have one of those Van kits in my stash already, so I'm set there.
  4. I agree with you, Bill. That said, if they just clean up the tool, and run it as it is now, I'd be thrilled. It's a rare kit, and getting harder to find every day.
  5. If they were gonna do it, why not do it correctly, with separate hubcaps and plain steel wheels? at least they tooled the correct caps. Maybe some resin caster will split the wheels and caps, and offer them as a set.
  6. Also, the "Stevens Intl" version has the Dropped Axle and Front Mags. So the White Box, and Steven's kits are the ones to get if you want more spares. This new issue has a mighty bare chrome tree.
  7. Great Fords! I love the Woody.
  8. I Do see Atlantis kits at H.L. In fact that is where I've gotten all the Atlantis kits I've bought.
  9. It does have a 'lowered' front axle.... Dang, I wish out H.L. still had some.
  10. Pat Covert Built one too, back in early 20's or late 199O's. I remembers seeing it in SAE way back when.
  11. Yes! Thank You, Jason. Now to print off a copy and get to work.
  12. Ah, Thanks, Casey. I'll dial back on my desire for this, and focus on other kits, then.
  13. One thing about ours, that I've noted since they reopened. It is packed! Every time I've gone, it has been jammed full. Long Checkout Lines, No Parking, and the aisles are full too. And, no, nobody can be seen with cloth and elastic tape to make Masks. They are all buying the same, cheap "Made in China", Home Decor POS that H.L. is famous for.............. I'm not sure what's going on.
  14. Glad she was able to have it done. She'll feel much better in only a few days, at least to judge from the 3 hip patients among my friends who had it done. All of them reported that they felt better quickly, and that moving was much easier. You'll both be thankful.
  15. I like your thoughts, Ralph. The Wedge Hauler and a '68-'72 Chevy would be great. A "Diamond in the Rough" type issue would be awesome too. Any combination of Pickup, Trailer, Race Car, like the recent Cobra Team would be perfect too.
  16. Any more news on this Olds? I'm ready to get a few!
  17. Has anybody seen the '63 Galaxie yet?
  18. Over on the 'other board', some buyers of this kit note they have gotten Big'n'Littles in their kits. A whole bunch of differences on tires in these kits, that's for sure! I need to scrounge a set of Redlines for my build.
  19. Jack, Have you seen the instructions? Any other tips you remember?
  20. Nice Blazer! I like the paint. But, it sits way too high!
  21. Lee, the fact that you got tampo printed tires, shows that there are at least two runs of this kit. Those with, and those without. This could also explain why some kits have flash, and some don't.....
  22. Yes, I could use one. Email sent.
  23. Those are some 'Stout' looking trucks. No Nonsense, Brute haulers. Wish Round2 would bring This kit back. I've always wanted one, and even now they go for stupid money.
