Man, I hope, hope, hope that the Ace Motor cycle makes it Back. I'll need to order about 6 sets of tires too. All my MPC Chrysler and Lincoln kits need tires. Even the 1990's re-issues suffer from tire melt.

The Ads are back. Nothing this morning. And now 4 hours later, ShaZam! All over the page.

Alright, Here is a question to stump you. Many Years ago, in one of the Contest Annuals (I can't remember if it was this Magazine, or the 'other' one), somebody had built a Kitbash of the old 1/32 Monogram Mack Fire Truck, and the even older AMT Star Trek, "Galileo" Shuttlecraft. The back of the shuttle had been neatly cut off, and the Pumper Body of the Mack had grafted into place. It was all finished in Eye Searing Lime Green. The Photo stands out in my mind, to this day, but I have no idea where I saw it. I'm sure it was one of the Contest Mags, but I've got lots, and I have no clue where to look. A friend of mine, who saw it back then, wants to try to build his own, after all these years, (After all, what else has he got to do now)? So, I'm putting this out there. Does anybody remember the build? Any Idea who built it? What magazine it was in? Or, am I hallucinating? (which could be happening!)

I think it is 1/24 scale,

The ex-Monogram/Revell El Caminio that has been announced for later this year has a nice 3.8 V-6. (I think). The new kit will come with both standard and Turbo induction, too.

First Artist? Charlie Daniels and U-2, both in Phoenix in 1984-85

If it was mine, I'd Keep it just the way it is. Somebody did a great( for the time) build on it. Or ask Tom Geiger What he'd do with it. He's the king of Old Builtups.

I'll echo what Misha said. Colour, Stance, and Engine Mods are perfect.

I'm regretting selling my Boss Nova wagon a few years ago. Friend on mine in our Model Club, was looking at it, when I took it to the meeting, and offered me twice what I had just paid for it on the spot. That included the shipping! I thought I'd made a pretty good deal, as I planned to go back to Pegasus Hobbies and get another one, the next week. Well, you how plans go...... Had a family emergency happen, and I never did get down to Pegasus. By the time I did (a year later) the Boss Nova Wagons were rapidly becoming "Un-Obtainium". I'm still kicking myself. I need to start looking at the 'Bay, and track down another. (And agree to pay the price...)

The "All New" Light Bar, Siren, ect in the Impala Fire Chief's car, are clones taken from the '70 Ford. So, the Emergency Equipment in the Ford, is already in the kit. I suspect only the Decals and Tires will be new. BTW, that's perfectly Okay with me. They are nice parts, and I can use another MorDor Ford.

I feel for you. It just hurts when one of them passes.

That Miata Lotus 7 Would look great in my driveway! I'll never have a real "7", and I'd settle for the imitation.

Those FORD Logos are a great accent.

Well, you nailed that Metallic Turquoise Colour, so I like it already.

This is looking great! I've even thought of using the Roush V-8 in the Deuce, but it looks and seems to fit great. Tim Boyd will like it too, as it puts a Ford in Ford. That Orange is awesome too. I'll be watching for updates.

Kool Kart! I'd suggest some fairly crude side pipes. They kinda folks who this, are just going to throw together something Hoon-worthy, so don't sweat the details much. Just something Big and Loud!

Or this one. My Favorite! '57 Truck Chassis w/ F/B Power

Try these.

To echo what David G and NOBLNG said, the colour you chose is very Period Correct. Makes a beautiful model, just as it is.

Looks good. That MRC kit is nice, but very fiddly. The Revell kit of the Bell-47 is much nicer, IMHO.

Man, I really like that "Rolls"! There were two makes of car in the 1920's that copied RR's distinctive grille. I'd fix up that thing and call it either a "Moon" or "Roamer", after the 2 makes from the 1920's. "What is it?" "It's 1962 Roamer Convertible Sedan, Only one ever Built!"

Sounds good to me John. I'll be watching "Worm-on-Tongue"..... (Baited Breath)

I am truly blessed. I can work from home. We have food, and supplies. (even TP). The Grand Squirrels and their folks, live right across the street, so we can visit each other. My daughter has taken over 90% of the cooking for both families, and is ordering things we need online, and having it delivered. So, in all we are in good shape. It was 85 degrees outside yesterday, so the kids could go outside and get some fresh air. I'm spending too much time online, and between work and the Honey-Do list, I've not had any time to model. Maybe later, but none now.

I had this one. It was quite fun. I need to track down a copy and play it with my Grand Squirrel. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1551/sub-search
