  1. If you are not determined to scratch-build one yourself you can just look for the model kit once made by MRC:
  2. Perry's Resin once made a stock 1981 Malibu in 1/25 scale, but it would be difficult to find now.
  3. How about these? (click on link to right) : Mooneyes Racing Decals | Custom Hotwheels & Diecast Cars (mycustomhotwheels.com)
  4. The primarily wood Old Timers kits by Hudson Miniatures were 1/16 scale, which was more often described at the time as 3/4 inch to-the-foot scale. The later, all-plastic Lil' Old Timers kits by Hudson Miniatures were 1/32 scale ( 3/8 inch to-the-foot scale ).
  5. Who knew that George Barris "improved" a Pontiac Aztek?
  6. 1. The Twilight Zone 2. Route 66 3. Hawaii 5-0 (original version) 4. The Larry Sanders Show 5. Family Guy
  7. 1. American Graffiti 2. 2001: A Space Odyssey 3. This is Spinal Tap 4. Alien 5. Grand Prix
  8. Not exactly a Town car, but you might consider the 1932 Rolls-Royce Sedanca II coupe made by Pocher in 1/8 scale:
  9. I don't recall these models ever being available as Airfix kits either. I believe this line of Hornby models was based on Scalextric slot car body molds.
  10. "afar far away galaxy from, are you" said Yoda
  11. The hydrogen peroxide soaking technique for removal of plastic yellowing is often used by promo model and HO slot car collectors, and is often discussed in their Facebook Groups. Most of the time, chrome plating is adversely affected or completely removed. Painted areas are usually safe, but not always. Use at your own risk. It's best to disassemble the model and soak only the solid color and clear plastic bits.
  12. Sorry to say, but don't expect the best quality from this vendor, Bruce and Steve. The seller is infamous decal pirate Jim Heller, operating under his "transgendered" alias "teresawulf". Jim is well-known in model circles for cheap, inkjet copies of other decal makers' work. In this case, the decal you ordered is a de-contented version of Fred Cady's sheet #25 for '69 Camaros. Fred's decal was silk-screened and provided white stripes and backgrounds where needed and silver emblems for the body as shown below. You won't be getting that on your sheet, Bruce, but hopefully what you do get will be usable. (Picture below is from the Mike's Decals website)
  13. Whole lotta shakin' goin' on......
  14. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
