Do not know where I got that 4 speed.

Picked it up minus the engine so I picked up a junket pre painted 58 Edsel so I grabbed the FE out of it and added a 4 speed.

I have never seen one and only heard about them,power could have been exaggerated some.

It was the police interceptor engine and had solid lifters and I think header like exhaust manifolds.

Cut the auto trans off the Edsel FE and got a 4 speed ready to go on,the other FE is 3/4 there so I will gather the parts to make it look like a 360 HP 352 for the next project.

Its the Ford base body so it has the FE.

Forgot I had a junker 58 Edsel so that is what the 57 is going to get and will find the 60 kit when I build a 56 kit,time to use up what I have before buying anything.

Is the trans on one of the engines in that 60 kit have a 3 speed o/d,the one I have had that trans that I used on a Y block. I do have a couple 390s from the 34 p/u kits but want one a little more detailed.

I am building a AMT 57 Ford that I would like to build that had one of those 352s swapped in,I have a really nice FE that I do not know what it came from bit missing parts so what kit has a nice FE engine I could used.

Picked this up at a swapmeet this weekend,did not know a 4x4 version was made and built the 2wd version back on 78.

I was curious if any were made since I never seen one.

I am going to have a bunch of parts and projects/parts cars I will not be needing and will post pics when I am able to go through all of it..

I picked up a rebuilder and was thinking about making it 2wd so could they have came that way from the factory,would like to make it stock and even thinking about using the Chevy II six and make it a cheap version. I know the 73 and up could be 2wd but do not ever remember the early ones coming that way.

He finds it thrift stores.

A friend keeps on getting me models and parts so today these two were in the bunch,a AMT early Blazer and Chevy van so if I can find a hood I am thinking about taking the suspension from the van and making a 2wd Blazer. Other then the hood all it needs is front springs and a transfer case.

The regular wheel Matchboxes could be played in the dirt without bending the axles.

Gave up on Hot Wheels and started collecting Matchbox again.

Did not make it this year but its a very good customs only show,was hoping the Golden Sahara would have been there after it got restored.

Did some digging and I do have tires and a stock 4x4 suspension but need one rim and need to find the rear roof and a front bumper and hood.

A friend dropped of a few boxes of kits to use for parts,none are complete and some have been started. Unfortunately most are what I have no desire to use so will fond homes for them,this is the only one I will build.

I will see if I can find a built one for parts and go on the back burner for awhile.

I picked this one up today and since the tires are missing I would like to make it more stock and possibly 2 wheel drive so did Revell make this in a stock version where I can rob parts from.

This one is not about the quality but it was not like it was shown on the box,back in the early 80s I picked up a larger scale General Lee and once I opened the box I found ot was actially a race car where I was thinking it was more a stock Charger with the General Lee add ons but no. I did build it and if I can find it im the attic I might smash it tp pieces since I still am disappointed in it.

I do all my builds how I would build it if I had the real thing and in different era's

I do have a stock Danbury mint chassis with rims that I will have to look at,if I can not find some vintage Monogram parts they might get used. Will look into getting a 41 Lincoln parts car first.
