Where are the interior decals from II.?

Somebody give these men some Bondo and paint!

It doesn't really matter what is worse, since both happened. Man, it sucks to the square. I know exactly how you feel. In 1997 I lost my garage/workshop to a fire caused by my 1994 Buick Park Avenue self igniting. The Buick, my 61 Imperial Crown Southampton, my 73 Chrysler Newport and in excess of 1500 unbuilt model kits were destroyed. Since the Imperial and the Newport weren't registered at the time, they weren't insured. Neither was my kit collection. This was only months after a very costly divorce. I never really recovered from this. No matter how strong a character you are, it leaves you traumatized.

Off topic: Also found this during my research. May enjoy the lads and ladettes who are sentimental gits like I am: VANITY FAIR magazine photographer Anne Liebovitz got the Cast and Director together on January 9th 2000 at the Culver City Studios. From Left to Right: Paul LeMat (John Milner), George Lucas (Director), Mackenzie Phillips (Carol), Bo Hopkins (Pharaohs),Kathy Quinlan (Peg), Charlie Martin Smith (Toad), Candy Clark (Debbie), Richard Dreyfus (Curt), Suzanne Sommers (T-Bird), Ron Howard (Steve), Cindy Williams (Laurie), and Harrison Ford (Bob). And here is a shot how they did some of the filming: Scary stuff this. Paul once said he couldn't see where he was driving because of the camera man acting as a hood ornament, so he had to use the overhead street lights as guide.

When I saw the headers and fenders I immediately made the Milner's Deuce connotation too. It prompted me to make a direct comparison before I say anything: After seeing those two pics side to side, I did a reality check and found that apart from looking similar, the components aren't even remotely close enough to use the word 'same'. I'd say they need as much modifying as the parts I have already in current issues will need. On a different note: Has it ever been clarified where the intake manifold and Offenhauser valve covers of the Milner Deuce can be sourced?

I can understand a lot without understanding the words they say. One thing I clearly understand is that there seems to be an aftermarket industry in Japan we can only dream about. I sum our's up with one sentence: Not even proper bloody door handles since 1958.

It's about time Cadillacs got their fins back. Now why don't they just put a roof on it, and produce it? Oh, true, it could actually sell and turn them a profit. Not good since they want to export more jobs to China.

Let's imagine model kits would exist of all American 70s cars. Which ten would I buy first? 1973 Buick Electra 225 1971 Cadillac 1973 Pontiac Grand Am 1973 Continental MK IV 1975 Lincoln Town Car 1970 Imperial 1974 Imperial / Chrysler New Yorker Brougham 1978 Ford LTD 1977 Ford Thunderbird 1973 Dodge Monaco

You know what is amazing? How that gent emits having fun with every fiber of his body.

Vorsprung durch Technik.

Seventies cars ######? I wish they'd make a model of my 78 Caprice Classic, the best car I ever owned, and not by a narrow margin. Even its 'italianesque' design with those "incredibly ugly tacked-on 5 mph bumpers" stood the test of time very well. When it comes to American cars, give me full sizers please. Nothing is more American, than an American full sized car.

Tis nay wagon, tis a sedan delivery. Willkommen an Bord, Dominik. Jetzt, wo Du rausgefunden hast, wie das mit den Fotos funktioniert, kommen hoffenlich noch mehr?

Gosh. If you had to admit in school that your father drives an R16, you were beaten up for it.

There was only one version of the 5CV, the Trefle. There were various versions of the C4 however.

Can't we just twist this thread around and offend somebody? Any suggestions whom?

I find that decade is grossly underrepresented. For decades I ask where the models of these cars are. Apart from the Caprices, and the 76 Caddy by the Modelhaus, there is absolutely bugger all in terms of fullsize family cars. Same goes for European stuff, absolutely nada. The Japanese stuff is comparatively well represented though.

We need no signs. What we need is drivers with half a brain.

I remember these kits well, toy shops were full of them. But now they are all but gone. Haven't seen one in years.

My father is not a car guy at all, hence we never had anything special to drive. When I got my license, he had a Renault 16 TX exactly like this one: and my mother had a Renault 4L exactly like this one: and a Citroen H-Van for her business, exactly like this one: I would drive whatever was available to me, on weekends that was mostly the H-Van. Came in handy at all those open-air festivals.

Does this prove my point?

Excellent. I'll post this everywhere in England.

I don't have a vault. It's more like a Gringotts for model kits. The one kit I'd save if there was a deluge?

I think it sounded like this shortly after:

I didn't write anything to the contrary. I bet it will never be jumped on purpose either.
