  1. I keep meaning to pick one of these kits up, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Looking forward to seeing more!
  2. You mean kind of like they've done with every iteration of this car? Every time they've rebuild this car, they've done what is trendy in the world of performance. The various drivetrains, the suspensions, the wheel choices. All reflect what was going on at the time of the build.
  3. I think the Bronco will be different, as it's the version everyone actually wants in real life.
  4. They're pushing $30k US. A friend of mine purchased one of these this summer. https://golfcartscypress.com/custom_golf_carts/ford-mustang-gt-custom-golf-cart/ I think he's crazy.
  5. I know I've got two of the First Edition. Our two local stores kept selling out. Took me a while to get mine. I think when the inevitable 4 door is released, it will be a bigger seller. Just like the real one. When I worked for a Ford dealer, the 4 door outsold the 2 door probably 10 to 1.
  6. Looks fantastic! Those flares work perfectly. The front bumper is good, but maybe seems a little flat or square. I think with a little sculpting on the wheel arches, they'll be perfect.
  7. That is some very tight clearance! But if it fits, then all is good!
  8. Very cool.
  9. I like it! The outdoor lighting is so much better than anything indoors. And in some of those pics, it looks much large that 1/24. I think the angle of the pic and forced perspective. Anyway, nice work!
  10. We used to run studded Nokians on my wife's Volvo XC90. They were amazing. But when it came time to replace them we went with the non-studded version of the same tire. For no particular reason.
  11. Nope, but I did the Rammstein truck. Was in a previous issue of the mag. Simple and fun. I liked it.
  12. As with any vehicle, if you maintain it right, and use it, don't abuse it; then it will last as long as anything else on the road. And actually, if it stays off road, it will avoid the salt and stuff on the roads in winter, so shouldn't rust as quickly. You might see more wear and tear on suspension or steering components. Depending on usage.
  13. I was amazed to read that he played ball for 25 years. I can't imagine any of these current professional athletes having a career that lasts well into their 40s or 50s.
  14. Forgot to post a couple of pics. As I mentioned previously, I left Ford and have a new job. I'm now in charge of sales & marketing for Arctic Trucks in Canada. I'm actually the only employee in Canada! And I was playing with this AT44 last week. 44" tires and only a 3 inch lift from stock. My demo truck is being built now, so will have one similar living with me permanently. By way of comparison, I'm 6'6".
  15. Welcome! Check the aftermarket section of this very forum! Lots of vendors and discussions in there about parts and where to get them.
  16. There are so many I'd like to see! But, some standouts...full detail of course. Land Rover Defender 130 HCPU Land Rover Defender 110 TVR 280i Tasmin. I know they're horrible, but I've wanted a real one for ages. BMW e39 M5 BMW e28 M5 Ford Capri 2.8i Injection. The last of the Capris.
  17. Wow. Okay, I will definitely be adding this one to the stash.
  18. I know it's the clear sheets from Evergreen that I've been using. I ran out though, and haven't gone to get more. Will need to do that soon. I was concerned about the heat melting or warping the original mold/part too. So I actually have a small piece of wood that I just hold over the original part. Then, once the heat has softened the sheet of clear plastic, I quickly remove the wood, turn the heat off, turn on the suck, and drop it down. Seems to work.
  19. Here you go! And here's the dark grey, as applied to a resin body a little over a month ago.
  20. This is incredibly cool. Looking forward to seeing more!
  21. I have one of those. They work really well.
  22. They haven't visited here in almost a year.
  23. Glad to see you had the sense to get checked out before something happened! So many people ignore it when they're not feeling right, and then it's too late. The docs will get you fixed up in no time. I'm guessing they'll get you into surgery pretty quick. And congrats on retirement!
