O K , here's one , the GM L sabre , made by Palmer plastics in New York.

If I had a buck and a half , yeah, I'd buy it and yes, I'd build it too ! Of course I'm old enough to remember this kit along with the art work . I'm olderen dirt !

The Trumpiter Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop, IMC/ Union/ Testors Ford GT 40, A M T 58 Plymouth , Aurora Studebaker Avanti , A M T's 1960 Chevrolet Apache truck , ( NOT THE ANNUAL ) . I could mention others , but these rank as the most disappointing ................

I'd be interested in knowing if the Astro could be made out of this nightmare as well .

For the model builders with Obsessive compulsive disorder perhaps ?

At one time , wider fenders were being manufactured for the 53-79 Ford Stepsides . Sure , you can slice an dice the frame rails to keep stock width fenders too. The reason I know about the fenders is one , I used to sell antique Ford parts in Dallas , I own a 53 Ford panel myself along with a 78 Step side . I prefer keeping the 78 all original and the 53 stock .

I've been in this hobby since 1960 . Sorry , but there are no winners in this game . Closest you will find are kits that go together in a reasonable fashion . For that , ALL the manufactures have a few that stand proud .

Actually, the side reinforcement came on the 77 and newer Chevrolet vans Less known was a cargo door modification too. 1978 brought both a re designed dash board and tail lamps in addition to a grille that was overall bulkier . I was manufacturing van accessories at the time and the dash re design threw us off until we could get caught up .

I got into this hobby to build models of cars I liked . I still do to this day . Yes, I have many waiting to be built . The reason for me ever hoarding them is that all my models eventually wind up in dioramas I do .

James , I can see you haven't lost yer touch !

I'm digging the Volks wagon. The photography caught my eye !

Maybelline Ford

Two dioramas . Yep, one , a 1-24th scale model of Randy's Donuts , minus the finished out do nut . The other is a 1920 Marland Oil station . It's figures in a notebook, photographs and a copy of a 1919 building permit ...................

The Tan was seldom seen until the Early V-8's in 1932 , nice work .

I'm an exhibit builder by trade . In addition , I also am a Freelance writer so in my travels , I pursue my love of greasy spoon diners and old service stations . Shown here is the former Quality Oil #5 that was restored by private funding in Winston Salem North Carolina

The only Ford to have Siamese middle exhaust was the Flat head V-8 . That's a Chevrolet .

David has it RIGHT !

I guess the 56 Eldorado. I used to maintain one for a friend . he got tired of the 2 X 4 set up , said it used too much gasoline . I switched it over to a Cadillac with a standard Rochester 4-CG on it .

From my vantage point, stunning work !

Chuck, I have had my best luck lately with Mozilla . Google is usually O K . IE, it hasn't liked any forum I'm on for awhile ...............

The few kits I buy now , I'll pull the wrap, look to see if I have a whole kit , close the box , put it in storage and think for six months as to how to build it if then .................

Any modeler , model company here who wants to talk to me about advertising in an "On Line " magazine that is trying to go print, please P-M me as I am capable of speaking on behalf of the publisher .

Gee Casey, Finally we have something we can agree upon ...............................

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, to see the 58 Pontiac re issued .................................

The trucks remind me of the late Joe Cavorley's work . I may be wrong ...................
