  1. Maybe grandma hated it, but I love it! For what it's worth, my grandma would've loved riding in one of these limousines back in her day. (She didn't drive) Where did those wheels come from? They're perfect for this car.
  2. Now that's true innovation and problem solving! Sounds like they're using realtime data statistics and adjusting for what will work consistently in reality, not some fairytale pipedream that must be correct because certain elite members of society deem it to be so. It doesn't even sound like electric buses can deliver as promised, so they're leaning towards hydrogen as a clean burning alternative. I'm all for research that gives a good honest answer and seeks to find a legitimate solution. What's currently being promoted as salvation is not that at all, not even in a nutshell.
  3. Classic! Drive or sweat, take your choice. You can't have both.
  4. I could go for the Streaker Vette and La Dart ?. I've figured out Round 2s nostalgia box art. Original vintage boxes are for the original kits that contain the same parts from the first production. Nostalgia boxes contain newer tool kits and are in a style that makes them look like they were around as an annual. Reproduction boxes = mostly original parts. Vintage style = kits that weren't around back in the 60s, but look like they could have been.
  5. Impressive! Is that your backyard?
  6. Which one's Ringo? Seriously, I like the concept of making the original theme in all of the available molded colors. I never did understand the name for the kit in the first place. Even for the 60s, the Beetle already represented a certain charming little import, so using it on this kit is a little confusing. Top it off, the kit included skin diving equipment - swimming is not exactly a beetles forté either. Same goes true with the Green Hornet, which was not only a TV show, but a comic book series before that. The Yellow Jacket, let's just say, had it's connections with the pharmaceutical community. Somebody at Monogram needed to be a little more creative in Identity labeling. ?
  7. And it's going to benefit us all! After all it's for our own good!
  8. I couldn't find specs, but I did find elevation views of some online. Scale them to match your car and transfer the dimensions and start cuttin'! Buford T. Justice, perhaps?
  9. I love when military might is outdone by a little tactical ingenuity. I remember when one country (can't remember which?) Would prop up plywood tanks and planes to draw out enemy fire and then zone in on where it was coming from. Called "smoking out the enemy".
  10. Funny, I thought it was the same truck!
  11. How do you make anti-freeze? Hide her knickers!
  12. If this is true and you really do make up this stuff to tell people, I'd love to be hanging around with you when you go to town. I'd be laughing my head off!! ?
  13. Johnny Cash in the background looks to be having a good time!
  14. GoodYear Polyglas OWL tires were available all the way until 1981. I know, because my dad put some clearanced ones on his Ranchero back in '82 and they are still in it to this day. They're hard as a rock and the truck is in my garage. OEM for 1975 were the same tires!
  15. That's not a gap, that's an intake vent. Otherwise the engine would just suck in the glass! ?
  16. I like it better than Roth's original. But then again, the only one of his I liked is Tweedy Pie. So there you go.
  17. Are they in better condition?
  18. Probably internal dirt in the tool from sitting dormant for so long!!! ??
  19. Lots of them, just do a search under Munster Coach. Problem is there is a lot of restorations and clones so it's not always easy to identify the original version. My advice is use the old pictures and try to match newer ones to those.
  20. What color is it molded in, tan?
