He has them now, came in after the Moonlight Modelers Christmas Banquet (8th) but before the Cactus Car Modelers meeting (12th). He has several but they are going fast. If he had you down for one, he'll hold it for you. I picked up mine (Wed) and it's a goody! Can't wait for the police version!!! It should be a classic. Hadn't planned to get a lot of them, but may have to change that. I'm thinking ... KS (KHP) ~ CO (CSP) ~ AZ (HP) ~ Barton County (KS) Sheriff ~ plus chassis/engine for a couple of '59 Fords for Chicago PD and Sedgwick County (KS) Sheriff.

I asked the local HTU, and they had two on order for 33.95 each. That's way to rich for my tastes.

I usually don't say this to men, but ... Great looking set!

True that. I thought about the "model" thing of building a phantom custom, too, like the one pictured at the beginning of the thread. But for the purposes of my comment, I stuck to the factory stock consideration rather than get into J.C. Whitney conversions, etc. They were out there, but you could not expect to operate a tow truck off an jerry-rigged dual wheel conversion of a passenger car frame and rear axle ... no matter how many extra wheels you spacered up. Hmmm. I wonder how many extra wheels you could bolt on? Triples? Quads? I know a modeler that would build something like that ...

Nice.

Fantastic engineering!!

One thing to keep in mind is that the '34 Ford kit is a standard pickup, which was built on a conventional passenger car chassis. It was not available with or convertible to dual wheels. To correctly build a '34 with duallies, you would have to discard the chassis, running gear, and wheels/tires, start with a commercial truck chassis (Model BB) and its heavy suspension and differential. By the way, the only difference between a 1-1/2 ton Model BB chassis and a 2-1/2 ton Model BB chassis is the wheel equipment. The 1.5 ton ran single rear wheels/tires and the 2.5 ton ran dual rear wheels/tires. Everything else was the same. None of the components of the chassis/suspension/wheel/tire/differential was the same as the passenger car line. Just a little friendly FYI.

As I've said before, God be with the children, the parents, the families, the friends, and the community of Newtown. That's what it is truly about. God Bless.

Oh, yes.

Wow!

That REALLY does explain A LOT!!!

The Ancient Mayans in charge of the Calendar Department did not expect to live until 2012, so it didn't matter to them. That's all. Read into it what you want, they just didn't care. Remember ... they were government workers.

J.W.? J.W.?? Who are you? ... and what have you done with Jonathan?????

What Mark said. This is not necessarily GM's design, nor is it a certified production design. Just another interest-building (and conversation-stimulating) artist's conception of what the C7 may look like. And take heart, purists. The camoflage has round holes over the taillights and back-up lights. No matter how it ends up looking ... it will still be ... a Corvette! That's Corvette-ness.

Wow, John! Good on you. Is there a resin caster in their future/s?

With all due respect, with Jim's imagination there's no such thing as 'simple.'

The heat is on . . . and you folded when pressed to keep up, didn't you?

Got the details of that technique all ironed out, eh Terr? (Good job, Cynthia! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, you two.)

Good job, Felix!!

Sweeet!

Yeah, but when they ended the world on 12-21-12, they didn't know that Chevrolet will formally reveal the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013. If they had known that then, they wouldn't have ended the world until after Chevrolet formally reveals the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013, now would they? Martinfan5(5)'s head exploded? Well, at least there wasn't much mess. [insert Rimshot Emoticon here.]

Are you sure? Because I heard Chevrolet will formally reveal the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013. But maybe you're right and instead Chevrolet will formally reveal the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013. Or maybe I'm right and Chevrolet will formally reveal the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013. Wanna bet on who's right?

I'd like to build & have a Waldorf on my shelves. But I'd LOVE to build and have a Corvair!!! Here's hoping these sales translate to new resin offerings!!

Do you think Chevrolet will formally reveal the 2014 Corvette prototype on Sunday, January 13, 2013?

Hey, Willlie!! Get me some cats-up!
