    I purchased the Reliable 70 AMX. It's a pretty good casting. Bumpers are not chromed. It arrived pretty quickly after the auction ended.

    If you want more detail, the 66 Nova engine compartment and chassis fit really well. A little work needs to be done on the rear wheel tubs but that's about all.

    The latest Aston Martin. It was very blue.

    Nothing like hearing it at full cry, echoing off buildings in Long Beach.

    Thanks for the update Jeff.

    Looks sort of like an Outback.

    Maybe they decided that if Lexus could build cars with "distinctive" styling, so could BMW. Reminds me of this.....

    I agree also. Consider that the end of Scale Auto was a surprise to the FSM staff as well. It may take a few issues for FSM to include what, in some folks' opinion, is "enough" model car content.

    I guess I misread the post I quoted or meant that response to another post. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I did see some posts somewhere from people who said they had been asked to prepare articles or reviews for FSM. Looks like they will be holding true to their word and including model car content.

    I stopped at the local Pep Boys to look for something for my Cougar. On one of the end caps there was a handful of Revell snap kits. There were three 2013-14 Mustang convertibles (the butterscotch-color ones). One was marked at $14.99 so I grabbed it. At checkout the price was $4.99. I grabbed the other two and bought them too.

    Pure speculation by the usual posters

    The dreaded 68 Coronet.

    Yes, it's in their national ad, published in newspapers on Sunday.

    Saturday I saw a "Mack" pickup on the freeway. It looked like a scaled down 50s Mack tractor. Sort of like this (the one I saw was red and a bit smaller):

    Nice work on that Cougar! And yes, so many variations. I have a 1:1 69 XR 7 and am a member of a local Cougar club. Hard to imagine all the variations in the full-size cars.

    The OHC six was also used in the Tempest, and there was a Sprint version with the 4-barrel carb engine.

    Squirrel!

    My parents bought a 59 Mercury Monterey 4-door. My Dad had to add on to the garage so the car would fit inside. When we moved to California the car barely fit in the garage at the new house.

    Yes. Just scribe around the engine compartment insert with the backside of an X-acto knife tip until it comes loose.

    On the actual cars, the difference in the wheelbase is behind the front seats. Mustang Carpet fits in a Cougar. BTW the engine compartment from the AMT 67 Mustang fits the AMT 69 Cougar nicely. Cut out, clean up the edges, add a couple of strips of Evergreen on the sides and install in the Cougar. I used the front portion of the Mustang chassis and rear portion of the Cougar chassis in my build. Can't remember where the splice is.

    My daughter had a 2005 Focus sedan. It was reliable and economical and it saved her life. One night she flipped (not rolled) the car. It was totally destroyed but protected her. She emerged with minor injuries.
