Fujimi Alpina B6 (BMW 635) with metal parts. Grok-able and heavy. I can't believe how much stuff is crammed into that box.......

Wait for the July issue of MCM

Wow. Embargoed model car pics. This has been an interesting build to watch. It will be nice to see the completed car when the July issue comes out. Are you bringing it to GSL Dave?

VERY nice design and build!!!! For those astonished at the idea of a Mustang wagin, it's not exactly a brand-new concept...... I saw one several years ago that used the rear portion of a 65 Country sedan roof, including those air deflector scoops at the rear corners that kept part of the back window clean.

It's melamine.

One other thing to consider: It can be difficult to insure a gray-market car.

I plan to be there as well.

I had an original 63 Olds Starfire kit that was molded in dark blue styrene. Back in 64--65......

I bought a Compaq laptop from WalMart last year for $500 and am very happy with it. Not sure of the hard drive capacity but there is more than enough. I have some friends who own Toshiba laptops and they have nothing but trouble with them.

Mine came yesterday too. Lots of good stuff inside!

PM sent. Dave Deal's artwork was seen in many places. Hedesigned the ArmorAll Viking logo and did lots of illustrations for MG Mitten, a sports-car accessory retailer in Pasadena, CA. I met Dave at an event at the Petersen Museum a few years back. He acted surprised that I recognized who he was and was a very nice, gracious person. I was saddened to hear of his passing.

My 07 Fusion has a manual transmission with its 4-cylinder engine. I was really surprised at the number of Fusions similarly equipped in dealers' inventories when I went shopping for this car.

I put one of the "full-size" AMT stickers on the window of my 1:1 car. It looked pretty good for about two weeks, then it started to fade and look really funky. Having this sticker on my car helped me to find out that a friend I just met is also into model cars as well as full-sized cars. Hey, AMT. How about making these large stickers out of vinyl instead of being paper-based?

Terry Jessee has done several box art models as well. My friend Kelly Cox built several prototypes and masters for the "Muscle Machines" caricature diecasts.

Ausgezeichnet!!

Beemers have two wheels, Bimmers have four, Nice build, regardless. I have Fujimi and a Revell E30s that will be built someday, as well as a couple Fujimi and Tamiya 635s. Want a challenge, check out the Fujimi 635 kits with metal parts. They have a zillion parts and weigh a ton. Very intimidating.

www.missinglinkrc.com, but it hasn't been updated for a while.......

Nice work, Kevin!! How 'bout making a 71 MX with two taillights per side? And/or a Performace Gauge Package dash? I'd like one, but I don't have $70 to spare at the moment.

I was at Long Beach in '82 as well. I remember watching those dual wings bounce as GV drove around the circuit. I have the kit as well, bought for the same reason as the others. It was a cool variation on the Ferrari F1 racer. I have a Brumm 1/43 built-up of the C2 also. PS: Nice build, Curt!!

Nice work so far on the 64 hardtop. I look forward to the finished product. BTW your buddy's car is a 60 not a 61......

Isn't the Revell 635 a reissue of the old Monogram kit? I built one several years ago and it seemed to be a little pudgy-looking compared to the real thing. I have a Fujimi M635 kit that has a lot of metal parts for the engine and suspension. It makes the standard Fujimi kit look simple!

Last week at the Victorville show I got some of Paul Rowe's 392 Hemi parts for my Beebe & Mulligan TF dragster, a 75 Datsun pickup kit, a 61 Buick convertible, an MPC 74 Cuda and a Triumph TR-7. Yesterday I got the new AMT 61 Starliner and some paint at the LHS.

Midwest? BAH! More like Mid-east...... Got my copy on Monday and I agree, it's great. Seems to get better every issue.

To do a Monterey conversion properly you would have to trash the chrome trim in the erar quarter coves and fabricate the proper "rocket pods". Monterey: Park Lane:
