It should be in the shops today, we got two of them in today along with the Jungle Jim Vega and a '56 Nomad.

Don't see why not, Proline Racing just recently brought out a '71 Javelin "like" body for 1/10 scale r/c Touring Cars that are raced in thr "Vintage Trans Am" or "VTA" classes.

IIRC, it should be possible to make a Fall Guy truck from it, you will need to lift it, put the Aoshima big tires on it, depending on which truck you're building it may need to be streched, and you will have to scratch build the pushbar and convert it over to the rectangular headlights the early Fall Guy trucks had.

I wouldn't mind seeing most of that series make a comeback Chuck, only in bare plastic. Those were a neat line of cars, even if they had no interiors.

That might still sell nicely though, I've had people come into the HTU I work for looking for Enzo's that would be more appropriate for kids from late child hood to mid teens, plus to dig up another discussion, I've also had more customers come in looking Chevy Tahoe's, Ford Taurus' (not the current one, pre Ford Five Hundred generation ), ect over the '57 Ford's or even the mid 70's Olds.

Must have missed those Pegasus wheels over the weekend, I'd diggin' all three of them!

Sign me up for an Airflow too! I forgot how good that Airflow Harry posted looked!

Looks good, is that the Lindberg truck?

Those maybe molded in that color, I think the were offered in different colors on some of the kits.

Funny you bring this up, the last time I had my head under the hood of the now long dead TBI injected 1/1 '87 my folks had, there wasn't much more engine bay detail there than that the 1/25 AMT vans had! Last one I built I just glued the doghouse shut and I'm still kinda bummed that they never tooled up the correct '78 and up dash and doghouse for the A-Team van............ .

Ah, I forgot Hughie Hogg was involved in that episode.

I think it was one of the later shows, don't know the particulars, but if memory serves me they were chasing down some theiving hotties in early CJ's with cheap paint jobs and there was a problem with "Dixie" and jacking up the General was their only choice to go and chase them down. Oddly enough, Jeeps and trucks like the Power Wagon were among the few vehicles that would go more places than Dad's Fury did in his early days with the railroad!

I remember that one too, I'd bet they threw airshocks on the back, cranked down the torsion bars, then put taller tires on it. Don't laugh though, Dad actually had that setup on a '62 Fury with a good Sure-Grip and some taller light truck tires, he said it would go quite a few places that a lot of trucks wouldn't go!

Nope, it was ment to be a nice, semi period small block roadster. Not positive, but the Milner Deuce may have been some of the insperation for the car too.

This, if they back dated the body on the kit though the license plate will back in the driver side rear door, the trim will more like that gen's trim (hopefully they left it off all together! I asked at the show yesterday if the 80's-early 90's grill and '78-'95 bumpers were still in the kit, but they guy I asked wasn't sure if they were still going to be in there.

IIRC, the name Rat Roaster had more to do with it being mid-late 60's inspired build that should be capable of taking down a big block muscle car on the street or strip and be somewhat driveable.

Wow, the fourth gen nose was hideous in comparision to the rest.

It is 1/24, it looks kinda funny next to the AMT vans because of that and the different length body shells and wheelbase.

LOL, That's a good catch Casey! Took me nearly a minute to catch the mirror issue while thinking something there didn't look right.

Well, that Olds might make the Collinade Body crowd happy and that drop top Hudson looks gooooooooood too!

That wouldn't take much though, It's too bad that the F/S 2wd truck Rallys or mid to late 90's cop wheels aren't currently available in styrene, those would look way better than the passenger car Rallys do on that van.

That will be a sight......wonder how many would shield their kids eyes from that! LOL

I think mine just went "fwoosh!" again.........LOL

Ok, that's pretty dang cool Phil!

Ooooooh, that's a good one Chuck, I may have to use that sometime!
