  1. I'm still interested in this kit, just haven't bought it yet.......What all does that Daytona conversion include and are there any 1/16 road race car kits available?
  2. How's this? and that didn't even include kits I had at home!
  3. Haven't been into the box yet, but we got a couple at work and they almost look like an older snap kit.
  4. It should be a '71-'77 model like has already been said and the ride height seems about right but the front end could be raised back up for stock height. The wheels aren't right though since the truck and van rally wheels are the same style as what that GMC reissue uses (only with 5 lugs and in 15x7 instead of the 6lug, 15x8's like those should be.)
  5. Same here, I'm saving my green for the '50 Olds, '55 300, and the van kits!
  6. Put a block of wood on it and heat it up with a paint stripping gun or "Monocoat Heat Gun", ends up looking a lot like it got compacted
  7. Ok it's real........... so what kind of car is it then?
  8. Ok, that was as good as somebody on another forum saying he now knew how they made "exploded views"
  9. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/12/06/tv-experiment-goes-awry-sends-cannonball-rocketing-through-homes/ and boy was this a failure!
  10. I wouldn't hold my breath on that helping Luis, some people can't be helped until that happens to them.........and even then they may try and sue you, the tank maker, the valve maker, the auto maker, and whoever they can think to blame for their own idiocy.
  11. Could be, if they're are like the self contained ones like Jeep used back in the mid 90's, the shock could have set them off. I've also heard of airbags going off if vehicle movements are beyond a given set of parameters.......Like jumping or landing off a jump, powersliding on gravel in a vehicle that normally wouldn't be, ect.
  12. Depending on when in the 70's that episode took place, they could have just used a General Lee reissue with the box art or just have done like Round 2 now is and create a vintage looking box for it.

  14. Probably what ever the boutique car of the day was.
  15. Can you imagine getting a plane and finding out your pilots are going to be Travolta and Dickenson!
  16. Lol, I can't see that Decepticon looking thing doing well for any length of time, electric power or not and I'd be afraid to ride Jr's for fear of CO poisoning plus I think I've seen UPS trucks with fewer rivets than that seat has. Not sure if the Jesse James bike would be all that comfortable to ride for a long distance, but I've got enough "padding" to counter some of that.
  17. Wonder if Fiat will sell any more than Dodge, those things are almost like hens teeth around here.
  18. IIRC Tom, the Magnum didn't really exist in Europe and The 300 Estate never existed here. I think the Magnum might have been an experiment to see if wagons would sell here without harming the 300's name. I'm not surprised that the Charger parts would fit (wouldn't be surprised if the Challenger would too.)
  19. Believe it or not, we haven't gotten any snow yet, in fact I haven't even seen much for frost yet!
  20. Well,if it was light, agile, had a nasty strong I-6, and rwd, I'm sure that many would be happy:D
  21. Nah, no F-Body ever looked that good.................
  22. I think it was both Chuck and I agree fully, seems like the only cars that ended up not looking that way were the Sebring and Avenger......those just got screwed over in a different way it seems.
