  1. Picked mine up Friday!! Youcan never have enough spare FE engines!!!!!!!!! The engine are listed as a 352 CID. However you can call them 352's 360, 390, 406, 428,410 Mercury and if you put some grandt line bolt heads along the skirt of the block to reresent cross bolted main caps you could call it a 427. As all FE engines were essentially the same looking on the outside except for the 427 side oiler which had a long bulge on the side of the block where an additional oil passage was located and also had screw in freeze plugs but if the engine is sitting in a car or p/u you really would be hard pressed to notice these things!
  2. Given Ford's ties with Jaguar it would have been a "Shotgun Hemi"
  3. Very cool score Izzy. My Fave chopper is the Huey D/H model also the Bell 47/H-13 has a special place in my heart as I have about 5-7 min. of stick time in one when I thought about going for a helo license (BTW I didn't go for it as the cost was prohibitive)
  4. Sounds like nasty-car. I think it should run what ya brung and ya better brung enough!
  5. Thanks guys, I wasn't sure what would work and wouldn't. Any thoughts on brake fluid? I did consider sanding but there are some tight spots around trunk script and lock that someone tried to paint silver and I don't want to try sanding unless I can come up with a p/e set with the script.
  6. I too would like to see the Maverick return and maybe the Torino Oval tracker or promo
  7. Rules is Rules and I will do my best to abide by them, and not use George Carlins seven words
  8. Dang, I only got 17
  9. Hey gang, I have been comissioned to build a 61 Sunliner for someone and they sent me a promo to work with I need to know what I could use to remove some old paint on it as the plastic is kind of a rubbery type. Also does anyone have an extra pair of Sunliner and trunk Galaxie P/E script they would part with? let me know the cost if so. TIA
  10. Wweeeeeeeee wwwweeeeeee wwwweeeeeeeeeeeee Sorry I had to.
  11. contest coming this Sat Sept. 06, 08 http://www.ipmskalamazoo.org/
  12. Hey gang vote for your favorite drag car as it may get crowned as the most recognized drag car of all time!! http://nhra.com/insidedragster.asp
  13. Hubba Hubba the 1/43 holy grail! I hope Gregg doesn't raise the Mag prices to cover this!!!LOL Maybe Gregg would cast me a couple of those 427's for some projects I have, Pretty Please!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Which Bigfoot are you looking for?
  15. This kit it is the Marui Pantera it also came with box art from essentially a Cannonball Run type with facsimilties of Roger Moore and Farrah Fawcet on the cover http://futchfactor.com/kitscans/1_24%20Mar...ra/IMG_0995.JPG Also this link has several versions too if you scroll down!! http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view...;sigb=12ug0lop0
  16. A little help http://kathyschrock.net/graffiti/coupe.htm http://www.projectthx138.com/Welcome.htm http://kathyschrock.net/graffiti/impala.htm
  17. A question regarding the 57 150 chevy. Does anyone make the Bel Aire side trim as I would like to do the Project X car as it appeared in the movie Hollywood Knights?
  18. Awesome build!!!!!!!!! you are making me look at my Gunze kit again
  19. Way cool, I always admired him ever since I watched Greased Lightning and did some research on him he overcame a lot of controversy during his career especially from the France family and lets face it of the times. Most of drivers that ran against him regarded him as one of the toughest competitors they ever ran against.
  20. Nice work on the Galaxies and I agree the crown vic should be there!!!! Have you ever built one of Wendell Scott's rides?
  21. Where did the pic in the background come from?
  22. Actually it probably ran a 170, 200 or 250 cid or a remote chance a 223 (not likely this one). Also by SR's are you refering to Dale sr.
  23. So you might get to use some parts after all eh LOL Is it me or does it look like you could trace the F50 lines to this car?
  24. Can someone post pics of the Boss 302 valve covers as if they have the Power By Ford on them they would work on the Cleveland as the cover would interchange. Also maybe a little undersize but MPC Bronco kits had 351M/400 engines and although the PBF isn't there they are the correct shape.
  25. Very nice but IMHO they should have put the 33 Willys cammer engine in there also. Just my .02 pennies.
