  1. 1961 Galaxie Starliner.....AMT has had the 1960 model for years, but never the '61. Also more 70's vintage snowmobiles.....I need a companion to the 1978 El Tigre that came with the Revell Ice Patrol kit
  2. In addition, I have been working with Josh at VCG Resins, he created the power brake booster, master cylinder and bell crank bracket used on the later Broncos ('75-'77) as well as the transfer case shifter used on the Broncos from 1967-1973 The transfer case shifter
  3. Hey guys, I have been working with Joseph at Fireball to produce a '66 Roadster conversion kit. Those that don't know the Bronco was offered as a Roadster model (U-13) with no top and 1/2 door inserts in lieu of doors. In addition the '66 models (1st year production) had many parts that were different. The list includes Dash and dash pad folding windshield with vacuum wipers seats 170ci 6-cylinder engine along with the different radiator and air filter assembly Dana 30 front axle with early style hubs different rear shock mounts side mirrors no chrome trim Here are some sneak peek pictures of the progress
  4. Did this project ever get finished?
  5. I need to order some decals from Speedway, I don't see a way to order on their website, do they do it via email or snail mail?
  6. I am admittingly obsessed with detail and I am looking for someone who makes the fan belt/pulleys with a power steering pump. Why is all models lack a P/S pump? Does anyone know of a resin/3D printer that makes a belt system with a P/S pump? Specifically looking for the round Ford P/S pumps from the '60s & '70s
  7. A video on youtube that show you how
  8. still working on collecting parts, every time I turn around Joesph over at Fireball comes out with more detailed parts that I gotta have!
  9. any progress on this? I am planning a build of a '67 F-100 Mobius, a tribute to my first car
  10. Anyone know of a service where I can send artwork and have custom water slide decals made? I know you can buy the paper for an inkjet printer, but my printer doesn't do colors or fine images well and I don't want to buy a new printer.
  11. one of the better ones I have seen, nice job!
  12. looks good, for anyone building these early Bronco models and has a question....I am a bit of an expert. I have been involved in early Broncos since my birth (I was brought home from the hospital in a '67 Bronco). When I was 16 my Father & I built my Bronco from the frame up, I still have it. I also run a Bronco blog: Classic Broncos I have 5 of these kits and have been collecting parts to build a few One will be a tribute to my Father's '67 One will be a tribute to my Bronco (also a '67) One will be a 1st year Roadster (1966) with a 6 cylinder engine and 1/2 doors One will be a stock 1971-75 Bronco Sport One will be a Baja Bronco with every option available in 1973 I am contemplating a 6th and 7th one now.....
  13. not sure where you got your information from, but the USPS is an agency of the Federal Government, in fact it was created by the supreme law of the land, the Constitution. My point was that in socialism, the government runs things and the employees have ZERO incentive to work harder or make things better (the exact scenario the USPS is in). The result is always the same.....shortages, slow downs, horrible service, no accountability. The USPS should have been privatized years ago.
  14. what you have in Canada isn't exactly Socialist.....The Doctors do not work for the state
  15. imagine the same government employees at the Post Office, running government hospitals and you get a glimpse of what Socialism is like. I have been an ebay seller for more than 20 years and the last three years things have deteriorated exponentially at the post office. Close to 10% of my shipments never make it to the customers, they just disappear or get stolen. There are few things more useless than an employee who believes they cannot be fired.
  16. What happened to these guys? I was about to order more parts from Olson Brothers and their website will not allow orders. Scenes Unlimited website is now an online casino or something and Bolides doesn't exist anymore. Anyone know what happened? Will another retailer take over their designs??
  17. yep I have already received orders from both of them and am ordering more....Also Chris Olson was working on bringing back the Buckaroo hood and possibly the Duff hood bubble/scoop Joseph from Fireball may also have some more Bronco parts in the works
  18. I think you mean Fireball model works, no?
  19. I sell some of those decals on ebay, I can send you the artwork (1:1 scale) that you can use to print on water slide blank sheets
  20. Greg I sell some of the Stroppe decals in 1:1 scale, if you want I can send you the artwork and you can print them on black water slide sheets
  21. Hey there, just getting back into model building (thanks to Revell's classic Bronco model). I was raised in the back seat of a 1967 Bronco and my Father and I built one for me when I turned 16, that was 36 years ago, I still have my Bronco Anyway, I built models as a kid and decided to buy some of the Revell kits and am now on a quest to find all the part necessary to build tributes to my Father's and my Bronco.
