I think that deep down the canucks are a wee bit jealous of our old Colorado Coolaid. š

MPC-988 1/25 George Barris Granny's Hot Rod $35.99 TBA
Smoke Wagon replied to ss2000's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I hope it will come with the parts to build the ānormalā version as well. My fiancĆ© had the show on box set and thought it was hilarious that it was made into a scale kit. -
Hey @SteveG, I sent Round2 an email concerning this a couple months ago but didnāt get a response, I was curious as to the status of the tooling for the MPC 1932 Chevrolet Confederate cabriolet.

It appears Iām one of the younger guys here from the looks of it. I had the fiancĆ© snap a photo of me posing with some Dupli-Color Vermillion Red. She got a little too close to the olā pincers of power though.

Poor guys. Youād think people would have the common sense not to spectate out in the street. Oh well, we live in a world that has to put āDO NOT EATā labels on shampoo bottles.

I threw away my gunked up can of rustoleum red gloss enamel yesterday after work and bought some dupli color paints, primer, sealer, and filler. So far I have no regrets.

Crazy, wild, Box art designs
Smoke Wagon replied to H.A.K's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Dan already got to it but yeah, those early nineties AMT/ERTL boxes were something else. How could a company be so bold and daring? That controversial and wild font they placed on every box, that crazy gray backgroundā¦ itās a wonder they didnāt sprout wings and fly off the shelves themselves. -

Iāve been doing some research into it, and the only one Iāve seen done was by Ken at Kitchen Table Resins, but it appears that business shuttered. Does anyone know if there is another resin 4.9 I6 being done or even just the intake manifold? That funky intake has been the only real hang up for me so far in trying to make my own.
-
Yes, the shaft connects from the front differential to the wheel opposite of the side with the diff., but itās mostly concealed within the suspension arms on the real thing.

It would need to include more than one engine IMO. For example, maybe Round2 could do a parts pack for the new Chevy C3500 dually kit that would include a 454 engine, a 6.5L turbo diesel engine, canopy top, gooseneck hitch, cab visor, stirrup steps, etc. The Craftsman ā65 GTO parts kit could include a Tri-Power 389, custom 455 big block, mag wheels, drag radials, interior roll bar, skinny front tires, and a drag chute.

Well shoot donāt drink any Bud Light then! š

My ā80 F-150 has the 351M with original valve covers, Iād say it looks like MPC didnāt know what the production engine would look like when the tooling was cut. The twin-I-beam looks fair to me, and I can tell that the transmission is supposed to be a C6. The transfer case on this year Ford should be a New Process unit.
-
I havenāt bought this kit before, is the engine supposed to represent a 302 or a 351M? Another thing I notice that would help this kit in the looks department is to use the western swing mirrors that come in the Moebius Ford kits, those are better proportioned IMO.

A new . . . . Hornet?!
Smoke Wagon replied to peteski's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Of course not, something tells me that most perspective shoppers for this thing will be better equipped to tell you how to make a boba tea drink than care to know the history behind the nameplate. It might as well say Maytag on the grille, because itās just a modern-day rolling appliance. There will be a large contingent of Hornet drivers that wonāt even bother checking fluids. -
A new . . . . Hornet?!
Smoke Wagon replied to peteski's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Hudson Hornet is rolling in its step-down grave right now. -
For goodness sake man there are children that visit this forum. You canāt be going around talking about such dastardly, heinous, and downright vicious crimes.
