  1. Use the H/L Coupon . Buy the second parts kit. If you are a MOPAR builder, it is not like you'll not just swap the Diffs and build them both. And, at todays prices, $19.47 (the price with the H/L coupon in California) IS about equivalent to $5.99 back in the day. I'm as broke as the next guy, and watch my nickels & dimes, but I can still budget for a pair of new kits every month, when I want to. So, let's have no more of this" 29.99 is too much" foolishness. Heck, 15 gallons of gas just cost me $52.00 this morning, and we Californians get another 6 cents per gallon added on, next Monday, July First. Prices are up everywhere.
  2. I've just gotten that Porsche tractor at my HL. With the coupon it was a steal! Back again today to see what's new at my HL. (if anything)
  3. The Bora-Bora and DIP Rovers look like the later Defender versions, not the older style depicted in the ECSI/Italeri kits. AFIK, the Defender had never been kitted in 1/25-1/24 scale.
  4. Well, it looks like somebody is listening to us. AMT 1168 -- 1/25 1995 GMC Sonoma Pickup Truck Not exactly what I wanted, but I'll gladly take it. Come On, Round2, Give us some more like this. The market is there.
  5. Chris, you are essentially correct. An 8 Pac of Big'n'Littles with a free Camaro.
  6. The Red/orange AMT Camaro at H/L has 8 tires, four small, four large.
  7. Dang, Steve! That is one Sharp ride. I wonder if I can use one kit for both songs? I really like that car. Got any more pics of it?
  8. Gabe, I checked Drag City before I tried Harts Parts. There may be other who re-cast it too. Harts was just the first I found.
  9. Hart's Parts Resin has one. https://hartspartsresin.com/product/johan-chrysler-cross-ram-intake/ But, it looks like it won't fit, so............. Back to the Lindberg Cross Ram.
  10. Thanks! It is a very neat truck.
  11. Drat. So I need a resin copy of the Ram Tubes from the Johan kit. Well, I'll start looking for some.
  12. Any more pics of the Blue / Orange Gulf Tanker? Just what is IT anyway?
  13. http://modelingmadness.com/scott/cars/previews/01013.htm Kit review of the Buick "LeSabre" Show car Tiny Kit. Looks like a Cereal Box Prize. (which it may have been for all I know.)
  14. One or Two sets of Tires? Any optional wheels or other parts?
  15. Thanks for the information and pictures! Looks like I can source the Max Wedge 413 from the Lindberg '64 kits. Is there any way of knowing whether I should use the Sd or HT body? MCW offers both. Thanks, Alan
  16. Those Tires and Wheels are almost worth the price of the kit. I'll happily buy them if you cast the Wheel/tire sets.
  17. After listening to this song for years, I'm motivated to Build the 413 Super Stock. Research tells me that it is a 1962 Dodge Dart. MCW Sells Resin '62 Dart Bodies. But, do I want a HardTop or 2Door Sedan? And, how good are MCW bodies? Lastly, did the 1962 Super Stock 413 Have the Long Ram Tubes, or the smaller Ram Induction Side by Side manifold? Thanks for the help. Alan
  18. There is a Model Club in Bakersfield CA that meets the first Saturday of every month. We'd be very happy to have you stop by. PM me for Location and meeting times. P.S. Anybody in the Central Valley or near Bakersfield is invited
  19. Looking Forward to this build. Keep us updated.
  20. Wow! Sharp Build. That looks exactly like I remember the new trucks looking back then.
  21. I'm glad to see the Sonoma, but like Luc, I would have chosen the S-10 as well. Good to see any of these kits though.
