I remember reading an article about a decade ago in SAE by Terry Jesse about a kustomized Buick model he built and painted with Pactra RC Lacquers. With the color combo he used it ended up with a bit of a flip flop effect when it wasn't a muddy brown or purple (It's been a while since I read it). I remember him saying that they were either candys and/or pearls from Pactra and that he called the combo Munster Pearl. I'd appreciate it if anybody's memory is better than mine is on the topic.

You thought she looked a little overdressed too, huh Have you guys noticed all the commercials on TV that seem to have 70's era vans in them?

You have to run Moons or Baby Moons on a car like that, Rallye's just look wrong on a Tri-5 Chevy to begin with and would be even worse on this one.

Dang, wish I'd had a chance to at least look at it before we sold out of that issue, sounds like a neat article!

I knew there were some kind of problems with them that caused them to crack around lugs. I guess Kelsey-Hayes redesigned them within a year or so and put them on the market as an aftermarket rim. I also read somewhere that the procedure that Chrysler used to test rim strength at the time included neutral drops into drive and reverse

Weren't the "recall wheels" cast aluminum?

Real!

I'll be honest, I'd seriously consider using C4 on that "bed", then replace it with a worked over fleetside bed.

That's probably right on the money, I ran across the same when I still had my little Turbo Mopars.

I was breaking up bearing sets for RC Cars that we've been trying to get rid of today and bagging the individual bearings up in corresponding sizes (5x11mm bearing went in 2-4 bearing per) in little baggies we recieved Tyco slot cars fon one of our distributors, some of which were labeled with desctription of the car that was in it. I stopped and laughed out loud when I saw this Can anybody else see why this is so wrong it's funny?

That would look pretty decent if they had continued the body work onto a stock fleetside bed, that custom bed it just too far out there for my tastes.

Model, background looks like butcher paper instead of a large sheet "I Pinch" (IIRC pronounced "Peench")

Can we say Batmobile? I have to admit, I dug the Tumbler, but can't wait to see what they come up with next. Wonder if it'll look anything like 90's cartoon ones that kinda resembled a land speed car (to me anyway )

That's right, you guys can get WGN on cable there. Do the Iowa Cubs play any better that the Chicago Cubs?

Neat, two Edsel and a Vette grill combined!

X2, I'm not much of a fan of the Hummer Brand, but that one looks great, maybe Iceland ready

X2, looks like it's replicating the '58 Chevy C-pillars.

That's a beautiful car, but that thing must lift like an airplane wing at speed :ph34r:

Never had the opportunity to buy one....Hey Revell, bring these back!

That car is still just unbelievable, Keep it up!!!!

Wasn't for me, I was just curious since the dealership parts guy has been looking for M35 models since he now owns the real one I posted the pic of. The other guy is the president of the local r/c crawling club want one, might be because he's a former solder or was just cool looking, I'm not to sure. Both of them and my self happen to be members of the same local Jeep owners club too.

I'm guessing some kind of diecast, the front turn signal looks like a decal of some sort on top of what others have mentioned.

Depends on how hard they were backed into the tails Speaking of which, that thing looks like it's been knocked around pretty hard itself!

That's what I was afraid of, Thanks Dragon.

One of the parts guy from a local Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealer and a member of a local Jeep forum just picked up a '71 AM General M35A2 and when I talked to him last monday he asked if I knew of any kits that were offered. All I could find a 1/72 Academy M35 kit at work and he came by and bought it today to build and paint up like he wants to refinish his in the future. Last night he sent me the below link in a PM, it's a 1/14 scale RC M35A2 that looks to be built off of Tamiya's 1/10 scale Highlift chassis and using Tamiya's 1/10 Humvee wheels on Highlift tires. Does anybody know of a premade plastic body in that scale from Bruder or 21st Century Soldier? Another Jeep Club member who's also the SCRC president wants one in this scale too. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8cf04b3...3D550/ry%3D400/
