  1. That is exactly what happened according to a story I read online. But, instead of standing out, they lost their distinct identity amongst the others, IMHO.
  2. I'm ready to read it when you write it, Sir! Your Knowledge of this historic car is breathtaking.
  3. Here is a 3D printed 1960's AMC. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267277025317?itmmeta=01JZHEBE4GFS1N90QQEKSHWV9T&hash=item3e3af3c025:g:wqkAAeSw-ltoQJjr
  4. Mike, I'd look for the Recent Round2/MPC Streaker Vette for the parts. I linked to the Nightstalker/Streaker Vette & Cosma Ray instructions so you can compare parts. Looks like the Chassis and Engine share many parts. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/1-sort/mpc-nightstalker-67/?view=roll https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/show-rods/mpc-cosma-ray-505-200/?view=roll#1
  5. Roy. This may explain why there is no engine in the kit. This is the 2.7l engine. No way to render this in styrene so that it would satisfy today's Ultra-Picky Modelers. Better to let some Aftermarket 3D printer take a shot at it.
  6. That looks Awesome! There are not enough stock Effies built. Good Show.
  7. One of the reasons I like this kit. Both of those are in the kit! Charles, a really great build of the Honcho! The details are well done. Where did you find the wheels? They really upgrade the kit. Good Show.
  8. I had to buy the '65 Comet AFX Kit, just to get the Twin Nostril Hood for my Street Machine Comet, so if the '64 Comes with the same style unit, it saves me buying the extra kit.
  9. You are So correct!
  10. I really like the Chicken Coop! Too Bad you are so far away from Cali.
  11. Are there any other Revell kits that have been molded with out Chrome Parts? Or is it just these two kits? If it is just these two kits, I'm not worried that this is a trend. Let's wait and see if any others are sold with out Chrome before it becomes too big a Thing.
  12. Fireworks. After Midnight here in California. Loud Booms still going on. Watched one Illegal Operation shoot Mortars for over 3.5 Hours!. About 11, the guy next door set off 45 minutes of Booms so loud that they set off car alarms for 20 minutes..... I'm sick of Fireworks, Sick of the Idiots who Blow them Up, and Sick of our Useless Fire Department, who makes nasty threats about "Really Cracking Down on Illegal Fireworks this year" , and once again, not following through.
  13. I watched it when it came out. My opinion? Too Much Money, not enough Brains. "Just Because you can pay to have it done, does not mean you should do it." He was what I'm beginning to call "Boomer Stupid". Guys with the financial means to make their Wildest Teenage Hotrod Fantasies come true, but not enough brains to learn how to drive, use and take care of their new Fantasy Come True Rides..... There seem to be more out there every day, and many show off on YouTube to document how ***** they really are.
  14. Yes, I have noticed that the Regular Soft drinks do not foam as much, as the sugar free kind. As for drinking them, I drink 8-12 cans a week. I also drink Crystal Light (or the store brand equivalent) in huge quantities during the summer. AS in 1 or 2 gallons a day. I have an almost Bottomless Thirst, and drink a lot of water.
  15. Great Trade with Chryslerjunkandstuff!
  16. Henry Used Chrome-Vanadium Steel for Good Reasons. He Over-Built his cars, knowing the roads and conditions they would be used in.
  17. Wow, Kit! A tour-de-force!
  18. By Far my favorite is the Jowett Jupiter. 1950-1954. Water Cooled Flat Four, Just under 1500 cc. Won it's class LeMans in 1950. I missed getting one when I was 18. I've always pined for one.
  19. First World Problem. Diet or Zero Sugar Soda in Cans. 12oz, can will now fill a 24-32oz cup with foam when you poor. Way, way too much carbonation. It takes longer to subside too. Root Beer was always bad for this but now almost all Diet Sodas are this way. I know. Really small irk, but now that I've shifted completely to Zero Sugar sodas, it is moving up on my list of daily annoyances.
  20. They Look Great, so your painting skills are awesome.
  21. I just read the article in the "Other Magazine" and your build is superb. I like the details you shared about the build Process. Good Show.
  22. Very Sharp, Clean Builds. You do excellent paintwork! Good Show.
