    Thanks, John. I'll need to get one.

    Cool! More pics of the Chrome, please? At least the Decals are good.

    I have the Early Iron Issue and the 2000's update. I have the Matching Coupe set aside for just this build. I need to get it done. Both of these look great.

    Thanks for showing this.

    Only one I'm curious about is the Polyglas Gasser. Other than new decals and tires, I don't see much being different from the kit we have now.
  6. stavanzer
    Mark, I would think you are correct. I just hope that it gets sorted it when the re-issue the kit someday.

    Jonathan, If you still have those stock styrene tires, I would like them. Those skinny vinyl tires in the kit just look wrong to me. Like Faust, I actually prefer the plastic tires when I can get them. One of my Volare's rides on the ones that came in the re-issued kit.

    Yeah, it is Revell's Generic small block V-8. Very much like the one in the Sneaky Pete and Billy Carter Chevy's. I had the kit and sold it. Chrome tree only includes one set of forks and handle bars for the bikes. Parts for two bikes in white plastic, Chrome parts for only one. It was weird. Put me off the kit, so badly, that I just gave up, and sold it. If Revell puts it out again, I hope somebody there counts the parts on the sprues this time........ I'll wind up with two of these, and one of the monster truck kits, just to make a flip nose street rod.

    My only gripe is that Round2 missed out putting in all four of the 2-piece plastic tires. You get only three in the kit. Other than that, the kit rocks.

    There was a photo in SAE a long,long time ago, of a Fireball 500 done as Robin's car next to a Batmobile. It was done in the Red,Yellow, and Green. I think it even had a big R on it.

    Dang, but that is nice, Scott! Perfect Colour and great build. I like it.

    Dang, but that possible 4x4 rim has some Long Hub on it. Not sure if I've seen a Ford P/Up with 7" of hub sticking out.

    Glad to hear they are making it to HL. I need another one.

    Christian, I understand that. Over, though, a 'Mog is a big ticket, spendy machine. Parts and labor for it are both high cost items. Of course since it is a Merc, you know it will run well and be durable, but the initial investment in one, compared to a One Ton domestic truck, will be more. So, Upscale places are the best bet. I would guess that they will be more common in Canada than the US, too.

    Thanks, Atmobil. That helps. Would this kit portray a 1966-67 Bug? Or is it something that never would have been seen in North America? These kits are at Hobby Lobby now. Thinking of taking the Plunge. So, Snake, how has the Chassis gone together? Any fit issues?
  16. stavanzer
    I like the 'Mog. Looks like something that an upscale Ski Resort would use. I might be tempted.....

    Looking into the parts packs, I'm trying to re-create the "Fumin' Fiat" I need Chassis parts from the C1127 and C1132 parts packs. It's going to be a long, long search... But this thread has answered almost all of my questions about Parts Packs. I wish Jim Keeler would tell more of his story about them.

    Woo-Hoo! Finally, the '40 Ford Sedan! Been waiting for this one for years! I am anxious to see how they do it up. And if it gets 6 tires or 8 tires.
  19. stavanzer
    Jeff, is this speculation, or do you have inside knowledge?
  20. stavanzer
    Now to see a comparo with the '70 Fast & Furious Charger from Revell. I see many trees that are the same. Looks like the Tail Light panel, Exhaust Manifolds and a few other parts are different between the two kits. I'll be getting one of these to go with my F&F car.
  21. stavanzer
    Thanks, Bill I'll check my extra tires.
  22. stavanzer
    Question: The Stock Slicks in the Slingster are too small. I have some AMT Pad Printed Slicks from the '65 Mustang Gasser/Street Freak kit. Can I use those or, are they too big? And I they are too big, does any AMT kit in current production have something that WILL work? TIA, Alan
  23. stavanzer
    Perfect Paint Choice.
  24. stavanzer
    Neat!
  25. stavanzer
    I wish my build would look this good. I'm still thrashing on mine.
