Ford vs. Ferrari Film
89AKurt replied to Richard Bartrop's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Saw it this afternoon! Wife actually liked it too, was asking me questions about who and what afterwards. My mom saw it a few days ago, liked it. It appealed to "normal" people, which will make it survive as a good movie, expect some awards. The street scene when Shelby got in the 356 and did the u-turn, I noticed a Ford pickup that was modern street rod stance, but otherwise seeing period cars was cool. I would challenge the case of the Mercedes 190 sedan parked at the Ferrari factory, I grew up with one (picture), would have thought an Alfa Romeo sedan would be correct. Seeing the 275GTB and the California was fun. I didn't know race cars had speedometers. Otherwise don't have a reason to be critical. GO SEE IT! -
'72 Dodge shortbox
89AKurt replied to restoman's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
My dad had a '71 (first year of this style?), so I have a connection with these. I was a teen, thought the curved taillights were so modern. Look forward to seeing it done! -

Forgot what I had for dinner, the important part was desert. I scratch-built pumpkin pie using a family recipe. I make the crust too, using root beer instead of water.

1972 Chevy Cheyenne 4x4
89AKurt replied to spencer1984's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice to see one of these getting-rare kits built. I read your blog description, where do you get felt paper? Detail Master used to have it, but that was decades ago. I have a few of these kits, the promo chassis sure needs work, good to know about the '66. You did this justice, well done! -

'72 GMC Stepside pickup
89AKurt replied to ramblerman's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Cool beans! ? These GMC kits are becoming gold-plated, nice to see one built. -
Just wanted to say he has super service! I needed just wheels for my GSL Beetle, and he helped me out. He had just relocated, so was not active at the time.

Very nice workmanship! A favorite subject of mine too.

'50 Chevy rat rod dually
89AKurt replied to Jantrix's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
? Yea, I know right? Coming back much later can be shocking. Only because I owned a '48 rolling wreck last century, this is a favorite subject. I've thought of doing a dually, but also as a "club cab". I'll be watching, cheering you to the finish line! -

For the import fans
89AKurt replied to Richard Bartrop's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Even though I'm into Tuners (to a degree), some of those are weird. What happened to the spinner wheels, and the ones with LEDs that create a design while you drive? -
Thanks, hope so! Finally resumed, wanted to kill two birds with one stone, vacuum-form part for the gas filler. I made a form out of Corian. I needed to produce my coke cooler handles, this fit in the corner. My vacuum-form tool uses an Oreck without the bag. Now I have room on the bench for my laptop. The cap is made from fat sprue rod, rolled on the file to make the knurled edge. Photo-etch ring with tiny sprue for detailing the cap. I also added piping to the convertible top part.

Grumpy's Toy IX 1972 Vega rebuild
89AKurt replied to magicmustang's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Think I took a picture of this car, when I was a kid, at Tucson Dragway. I'll have to look in the album, and take a picture to post. -

How fast does it go? ?? Cool idea, will consider making my own.
