  1. Wow, Oh,cant say that, very nice! Love the stance!
  2. Think its just an AMT deal, but it looks to me that if anyone would do it in 1:1 it would be the Alexander Bros.
  3. An FYI on the new Pegasus wheels and tires. The tires on the soverigns are smaller than the chromes and crossbars. Bernard Kron found out that there is a "big and little" Chrome reverse set, but we dont know the part # yet. I put the soverign littles on a chrome reverse, and it looks great. Also the bigger tires found on the crossbars look better on the "soverign astros". Is that to much info?
  4. Yup. Very much so! And perhaps a chopped coupe, or a cabriolet?
  5. I thought I knew all 'till this. The "Magnolia Mauler" kissing cousin to the "Havana Banana"
  6. The headers might be an issue, the custom 32 having 4 pipes, and the Beach boys having 3. The grille shells are substantially different, but the custom grill from Lindbergs 34 pickup would work. Modelhuas or Norm Vebber would have the wheels and tires. This could be do-able! BTWTM, imagine if Revell released this totally accurate. Wonder how much Brian Wilson and the crew would want for licensing?
  7. Mines got the same imprint, and the same flash. Just compared chassis, and the reveal just before the rear wheel wells is different on the two kits, as are the rear suspension mounts. The kick up at the front of the frame seems different too, the frame rails ahead of the grille shell are more curved on the original highboy version. But the real question is why would Revell tool up an all new kit? The differences are so subtle, no one would ever notice. Well, except for us!
  8. Us old codgers love nostalgia. I built the 32 in the back seat of my Dad's 68 Galaxie while on vacation. It deserves better.
  9. Here's my poor little stalled out project. I fubar-ed the paint, then decided I hated the lime green, so its just sitting on the shelf.
  10. I dig it. I remember that front axle! Great job on those decals!
  11. Grille looks fantastic. Gonna have to try that myself. Your building style intrigues me, assembling a lot of it first, then paint, and then detail paint.
  12. Ummm, that makes my eyes go in different directions. But "3 wheels per axle"? I like the third driver, imagining him wrestling control from the first two drivers. Looks like a Picasso design
  13. I've got 3 each of the vintage 32 roadster and vicky. Every so often I open the boxes to gaze at that beautiful virgin styrene. Thank goodness for ebay. The one thats hard to find is the "Snake Eyes" version. But thanks again to Ebay, I got this nice vintage built-up! Been thinking of contacting Greg Holland to see if he can do up the "Dixie Speed Shop" decals.
  14. I just now this morning figured out the Fotki "friend request" thing. D'oh. Hey Doc, I wasn't ignoring you, I was just ignorant. Hey thats funny, ignorant and ignoring. OK, time to put the Smirnoff down.
  15. I've got a nice sized kitchen table. Its formica, so nothing other than super glue sticks to it. The pic was when it was "clean". Now I've got only a space the size of a cigarette pack clean. Oooo.
  16. I read somewhere, maybe on the spotlight hobbies board, that AMT was going to reissue this. Its been at least a couple of years though. I've gotten enough parts off ebay to build this, in fact the custom wheels should be here this week. But I'd sure love to build it from fresh new styrene!
  17. I guess I should thank my lucky stars I have no warning points. So, who remembers "thank my lucky stars" ??
  18. The Beach Boys coupe would be neat, but I'd rather see this But even more, an accurate A/FX. This one will do!
  19. Hey Rich, I have all my own teeth, I paid for them. They live in a little plastic box under the bathroom sink
  20. I'm hoping that this kit morphs into the McMullen roadster.
  21. Although its very basic, and single-action, I love the Binks Wren. Kinda hard to find these days. It was my first airbrush, and 40 years later I still prefer it over my Badger and Paasche.
