  1. It has a Nifty Blower for the Big Block, too. So this is an Custom Version, and the Soap Box Derby version is all stock. Guido, I agree with you about the wheels. They're not bad really, but have absolutely no Pizzazz! They are the worst possible thing a Mag Wheel can be.. Boring. I wish Round2 had thrown in a set of those ubiquitous 5 spokes that they always used as an option in other kits.
  2. Once Again, HPI Guy has it. It looks great so far, I want one.
  3. I'm looking for accessories for my Revell Rubicon Kit. So far the only Upgrade part I have found is this Bumper Set from Iceman Collections. https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/jeep-classic-tube-winch-bumper?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=6dbf3f837&pr_rec_pid=7722202529986&pr_ref_pid=7721162440898&pr_seq=uniform It Looks Great, and I'll be ordering one soon, but are there any other Resin casters doing parts for this kit? I am happy with the Stock Wheel/Tire package, but I'm wanting other Light Bar, Roof Rack, and Other Misc. parts. Is there anything else out there? Thanks, Alan
  4. Awesome Truck. You did a great job on the details. Good Show.
  5. Boy, those ICM Fords sure build up nicely. Yours is sharp and clean. Good Show.
  6. Great Bronco. I like it in that shade of Blue. Good Show.
  7. I need to find a couple of 6 Cyl Wired Distributors. Any Idea who might sell them. Only Vendor I can think of is R&D Unique, and they've gone a long, long time. Thanks, Alan
  8. Awesome Build! Your SD conversion really makes the Kit stand out. The Yellow is perfect for this build. Good Show.
  9. PM sent, Paul.
  10. You got a great result from your effort! Fujimi Kit? Good Show.
  11. Drunk Driver last night sideswiped my truck. He managed to come up in my yard, and hit the right rear fender on my truck with the left side of his car. 12"x12" sqaure-ish crease, and some chipped point. Truck is a 2007, but the bodywork was perfect. Police Report has been filed, but I've been up since it happened at 3am..... At least the Rottweiler scared away the folks pounding on my front door. Everybody is Okay, but We (wife & I) are still a bit perturbed by the whole thing. We slept through the crash, but not the subsequent Fight, and Drunken Shouting. Called 911 and stayed inside. I'm not going outside to investigate, when these things happen anymore. Given what happens today, it's worth your life to get involved and I'm not ready to risk it for that yet. But, buying more cameras to cover a couple blind spots now.
  12. I agree, that the '53 Ford Pickup tooling is getting heavy use. It must be selling well enough to warrant the time/money/effort. The optional DeSoto Hemi in that kit it excellent and does make a great street rod or T-bucket power plant. I'm glad to see so many car kits released this month, better than the last couple.
  13. Fabulous Sherman. Those older Tamiya Tank kits build well. Yours looks very good. Aside from war, most Army tanks are really kept as clean as is possible. The Army frowns on dirty equipment. So, the weathering you have done is about perfect to my eye. Looks like a Tank out on an exercise. Good Show.
  14. Pleased to hear from you. Keep resting and getting better.
  15. Great Build! As others have said, the Tu-Tone Paint is sharp, and believable. Good Show.
  16. I'd go with "Well Maintained, Collectible" although 25+ years is technically a "Classic". Those T-birds are now generating some interest from Collectors so you may get some bites from them. Good Luck with your car.
  17. Welcome Aboard, Gary. This is a great place to hang out, and has some of the finest members you will ever meet! Alan
  18. Another article. https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/729 With “SHIP SERVICE ___ NAVY” written on part of its front plate, this car is hypothesized to have been used for Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, Captain Elliott Buckmaster, or other ship crew while USS Yorktown was conducting business in foreign ports.
  19. I've got a set of 4 NOS (circa 1989) Autolight Spark plugs to fit a Stock Model T engine. They are a shelf worn, but new. The threads are showing some dirt and very light Rust spots, but they look good otherwise. My "T" was stolen in 1990, and they have been sitting in my tool box ever since. Been cleaning my Garage, and found them. Look at them makes me sad, so I'm offering them up for trade. I'm open to offers on trade Items. PM me and we'll talk. I'll ship to Canada, but You'll have to pay, I'm afraid. Alan
  20. Saw two Cybertrucks, and Rivan SUV yesterday.
