Very cool Greg.

My local HL had one of those. I almost bit on it, but I already have a few Fairlanes.

Sorry, couldn't get this out of my head: "What Do You Want From Life?" What do you want from life? To kidnap an heiress Or threaten her with a knife? What do you want from life? To get cable TV And watch it every night? There you sit, a Lump in your chair Where do you sleep And what do you wear When you're sleeping What do you want from life? An Indian guru To show you the inner light? What do you want from life? A meaningless love affair With a girl that you met tonight? How can you tell when you're doin' alright? Does your bank account swell While you're dreaming at night? How do you know when you're really in love? Do violins play when you're touching the one That you're loving? What do you want from life? (What do you want from life?) Someone to love And somebody you can trust? What do you want from life? (What do you want from life?) To try and be happy While you do the nasty things you must? What do you want from life? What do you want from life? What do you want from life? What do you want from life? Well, you can't have that, but If you're an American citizen you are entitled to: A heated kidney shaped pool A microwave oven--don't watch the food cook A Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home A kingsize Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum A foolproof plan and an airtight alibi Real simulated Indian jewelry! A Gucci shoetree! A year's supply of antibiotics A personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth And Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number A beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick Rosemary's baby! A dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams A new Matador A new mastadon A Maverick A Mustang A Montego A Merc Montclair A Mark IV A meteor A Mercedes An MG Or a Malibu? A Mort Moriarty A Maserati A Mac truck A Mazda A new Monza Or a moped A Winnebago Hell, a herd of Winnebago's, we're giving 'em away Or how about a McCulloch chainsaw? A Las Vegas wedding A Mexican divorce A solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot Or A baby's arm holding an apple?

64 Falcon Squire wagon, parked in front of a local diner.

I had the "bar of Soap" thought too. When I was a kid there was a family friend who had a P6 2000. I got to ride in it a couple of times. Pretty nice car.

A P6 would be very cool. P5 would be cool too.

You should see the Fujimi E24 with metal parts. Bigger beast!

I have a 2004 Explorer with the 4.0 SOHC engine. 204,000 miles. They are famous for eating cam chain tensioners and guides. The passenger side cam chain is at the rear. Another genius engineering job. I cross my fingers every time I turn the key.

It's a real Mickey Mouse deal.

I saw a Rivian (electric) pickup.

Gives that butchy off-roader look??. Aside from scratches or scrapes, has anyone had any luck getting polish or wax residue out of the textured black plastic?

My brother has a 2004 Ram 1500 pickup with the 5.7 engine. Recently the check engine light came on, along with a lightning bolt indicator, which indicates an issue with the throttle position sensor. The truck quit running on the street and would crank but not start. Following advice we replaced the throttle body. Still no start. We discovered that there is a pedal position sensor that is connected to the throttle pedal by a cable and connected to the engine control module. This sensor is no longer carried by Dodge and is difficult to source from a parts store. Mercedes used this sensor on several vehicles and it is available at their dealerships. Unfortunately, while the sensor looks identical, the connector on the sensor is different. We found a sensor that looked fairly new at the local pick-yer-part yard and installed it. After replacing the sensor we finally got the truck to run. All this after several days of head scratching and running around.

My son bought me a dvd/Blue Ray copy of FvF when it first came out. Have watched it a few times. The Extras in the package are really good.

The other day I was following a Challenger. At a red light the driver shut the engine off and put it in park. (I saw the backup lights flash when he put it in park then drive). When the light turned green, he restarted and sped away.

67 Firebird convertible. Candy apple red.

66-67 Ranchero front clip, yes. IIRC the Fairlane and Comet 2-door post cars in 66-67 shared wheelbase with the Falcon coupes as well.

A Moebius 64 Nova, Sand Kat and a Chrysler Copperhead promo that LHS had for $5.00 (They had three of them)

The tool was later modified into the "Sweat Hogs" version.

I have sufficient for my needs. Also have resin station wagon and convertible bodies.

I would get one if the put the deep Shelby 10-spoke wheels back in. A few years ago I bought an AMT Cobra chrome tree from the sprue box at the LHS and would like to get some more for a project or two.

It appears to be trickling out:

It's a Fujimi kit.

70 Camaro RS. 73 Ford LTD 2-door.

That's the "be the first one on the block to get one" fee. Usually happens with any new model that is in high demand. I remember when the Datsun 240Z first came out. Most dealers would add a "market adjustment", along with "mandatory equipment" like aftermarket wheels, vinyl stripes, bumper guard bars, luggage racks etc. I remember seeing some with dealer-added vinyl roofs. For a while it was almost impossible to get one equipped as it came from the factory.
