  1. That is some dash, John!! Love what you are doing with this!!
  2. Man, you have some skills! Fabulous!!
  3. My '85 SVO Mustang kit says copyright 1984! Simultaneous 1:1 and kit releases are a thing of the glorious past, my friends!!
  4. Pro Street LSC & Turbo Coupe - Swapped chassis and interiors: Rear spoiler was out of the Red Hot T-bird Pro-Street.
  5. Wow, looks great! It sure does look like a Fairmont!! Nice job!
  6. Bullitt, Gumball Rallye, Several Bond movies - 2CV rolling down the hill, Mustang on 2 wheels, Hornet airborne barrel roll and a flying Matador, Lotus into water, etc., French Connection, Italian Job, Blues Brothers, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Smokey and the Bandit, Vanishing point, and too many more to list... Oh...one more...White Lightning - Reynolds as Gator...brown 4 door LTD, big motor, and steel wheels...flying and landing on a barge... Bullitt I think makes so many lists because it is regarded as the first car chase in the movies. The TV show Streets of San Francisco had a few short chases with airborne cars! On a child friendly level like Cars, there is also the Herbie Movies...Lots of fun stunts with the #53 Beetle!!
  7. Fabulous!!
  8. Ice Cream truck!
  9. Love it!! Well, them!!
  10. Beautiful! Love those big Fords!!
  11. Lookin' good! Nice work! Hope you can get it done for the show, or at least the primer table!!
  12. Wow...did it start up okay? Sure looks like it could!! Very nice!!
  13. Cool...Will be checking in regularly! Keep up the good work!!
  14. Awesome job, John...thanks for the tips and tricks commentary as well!
  15. Nice build...I've got a Tamiya Mini kit in the stash...they are so small compared to the new MINIs! I did see one in a butterscotch colour last week...real neat little cars...makes my '67 Beetle look huge!
  16. 71 'Cuda
  17. Romell, looks like another epic build...I think I missed what scale you are building this in?? I'll be checking in on this one for sure!
  18. http://www.dhl.com/en.html As far as I know they still do... I'm really hoping they are just posturing in order to move the negotiations along...happened last time, a last-minute deal signed in the 11th hour...postal strike is just too disruptive.
  19. Fantastic! Love the paint on the body, and the chassis details are stunning!! Beautiful work!!
  20. Yes, the Union representing Canada Post employees gave 72 hours notice, so they will be in a legal strike position at 11:59 PM Thurs...they have been negotiating for 7 months. (No I do not work for Canada Post or the Union). Now, they say that Government cheques will still be delivered. Here's an article from today, from CBC news. Just an example of postage shipping I recently experienced. I have done a few trades, and a kit for a kit cost the guy mailing via USPS to me in Canada was $5.94. The same shipment, a kit shipped by me to the guy in the US via Canada Post was $12.54. Just to add to it, the shipping time was about 12 days from Canada to the US, and from the US to Canada was about 14 days (not bad, on average, though I have had the odd shipment take 6 days, and others take 25 days!) The examples are for standard ground shipping, so longest, and cheapest. UPS, FedEx, Purolator or DHL are probably twice again. Too bad Greyhound doesn't do international shipping! I've sent some bulky 1:1 car parts for pretty reasonable within Ontario. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail, and they will avert a strike. No one wins in any strike I've been aware of. Just keep an ear out if you do set up a trade with one of us up here!
  21. I was considering doing the wheels in gunmetal...haven't decided yet.
  22. Looks good to me!
  23. Nice save...looks like it is coming along nicely!
  24. Love those big racing Fords of the '60s! Well done!
