"Shaft" was co-written by Ernest Tidyman, who went on to write novels with the main character but personally I prefer his screenplay "The French Connection".

Looks cool!

Found this during a Google search. Dumbfounded...

Great looking bug! Wow.

I love the old Monogram classic car kits.

Man, very cool wagon!

I love the Mooneyes vw's!

Lol... well regarding the Plymouth at least.

Just wow...

I wish I did. My ex got it, found out from my son she and her husband sold it for about 1/2 it's value...

Beautiful Edsel. Love station wagons and cool to see something running Oregon plates! Charles

Beautiful build of an odd looking car. For a short time, I had a 42 Plymouth (yes they did make them through February before going over to tank production). It was repainted in the 60s brown and had these as driving lights. Evidently, vintage motorcycle lights.

The only thing cooler than a station wagon is a hearse! I love them and yours is great.

I just saw this. Perfect.

Beautiful.

I am sorry to hear about Mark, I met him through Model Car List and he was the one who told me about Straight Line Modeler. He was really supportive of me getting into building models. Unfortunately, I loss track of him during my divorce and then the following chaos. He was a good man and I probably would not have returned after 12 years away if it had not been for him and people like him. Charles

His isn't 1/25 scale...

Thank you for the information! I appreciate learning... Charles

I do have a 36 Ford coming in a "junkyard" lot, would that work as well as a template? Am interested in scratchbuilding, as my original post was inquiring about the size to use. Though tbh, I used to have work from RMoM years ago mastered by Rik Hoving and I admire his eye for detail. Off topic but anyone know what happened to Mr. Hoving? His Fokti Album of research material is still up.

Link?

I've got an order going out to him next week, I'll have to ask him about bringing that back, it'd be a required purchase with each Revell deuce. ?

I've got 2 of those coming, I was glad to see that re-popped. Now if they'd just get a traditional chassis available. I guess I was asking about hints on scratchbuilding one, cuz with kits at $35+ each, kitbashing gets expensive for those of us starting again from zero... I've invested almost $3-400 trying to get my first project started. My wife's going to kill me ?

I'd love to see it. Tbh, I just looked for a photo, I'm at work... I completely agree about an older original version would be nice. Both stock and early rod. Maybe throw in the Navarro heads and a high two carb intake?

They're nice! I was thinking about the center crossmember though.
