  1. Don't worry , Carl. Somebody on the 'Bay will be parting out these kits, and you'll be able to get the bike by itself. But, it would probably be cheaper to just buy the kit and trade the Model A, and keep the bike in the long run.
  2. Thanks! I had not known that. So, all it has ever been is the "Bumble's Bee" drag machine, and a Stock build? That helps, my planning the build.
  3. One of the Best Builds of the '34, I have seen. The super smooth paint really helps. Good Show.
  4. Just coming back around to this kit. Would any body have set of instructions for the Original or"Countdown Version" from 1977 that show how the 'custom' body parts are used? I can make some guesses, but I'd like to see what the older directions show. Thanks. Alan
  5. Great Build! It looks real. I like the Colour you chose. Were the wheels you used, on the Chrome Tree or Bare Plastic? Good Show.
  6. That has to be one of the best builds of that Kit, I've ever seen.
  7. I just watched the Li'l School Bus video. I'll watch this one next. It was great to hear your voice, and see your builds. And, of course I subscribed.
  8. I believe you are correct about the stock wheels. Only the woody had them. And the '31 wheels are different than the '29, so you really should not use the '31 wheels on the '29 pickup. (although they will fit, on the model) I've seen the '31 wheels used on a sedan build. https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/rm/build_rm_2169.shtml
  9. I can only think of Two Hits on this tool, Recently. This one and the Racer's Wedge version. Is there a Third one, I've missed?
  10. I read in one of the Car Magazine back in the day (Car& Track, Road & Driver, one of those) that one of the real life reasons for the downfall of the Cheetah, was that the exhaust routing made the drivers compartment so hot that it would burn drivers after only a short time. Also the car was cramped and not very ergonomic.It just was never a very 'polished' car and suffered because it was never more thana working prototype, and too crude to function reliably.
  11. Man, Round2 is getting a whole lot of use out that tool! Nevertheless, I'll think hard about getting one in that boxing.
  12. I can wait until the second run hits the U.S. Not paying that much to be "First-on-the-Block".
  13. I've done this, as well. Found set of Tractor Wheels that worked for a build I was doing.
  14. Sharp Looking, Ford, Chuck! Your Builds always look so good. Good Show.
  15. Nice Job. The Gun Rack goes inside the Rear Window. Yours looks like it is on the outside. Other than that, Very Sharp Build! Good Show.
  16. Very Sharp! The Colour looks great. I like the fact that it does look like a gently used Dodge, sitting on a used car lot. I have the same kits, and I am planning the same build. I've started building the Longbed 4x4, Baja Brute Racing truck first though. Good Show.
  17. My Thoughts on this build. I'd say build it totally fenderless. An Open Wheel Racing look. A more Brutal, Stripped down Race Car. For paint, glossy Battleship Grey bodywork, and red wheels. What ever you do, it's going to look great!
  18. Said what I wanted to say, better than I ever could have said it! Thanks, Bob.
  19. What a Fun way to build that Van. I owned a real one for almost 8 years, and still have the kit, someplace. Good Show.
  20. Guido, Thank You very Much for those photos. Wonderful Inspiration!
  21. Thanks to all who replied. Looks like I need to see if I still have the Hemi 'Cuda in the stash. If not, I guess I'll be buying one.
  22. Oh Yeah! That Ford looks like a Winner to me! I'd buy a few.
  23. Mention has been made before, speculating that the Sci-Fi Models at Round2 subsidize the car kits. So, without knowing the numbers, it might be true that the Sci-Fi kits are more popular than the automotive subjects. I'd very much like to see a "Heritage" edition of the Ford Bronco kit, but I doubt that a Plain Jane Bronco would be worth the effort from a sales viewpoint.
