Monogram did a 78 malibu in 1-32 scale . The last time I saw that kit , it was some kind of a Fire Chief car . Monogram, then Revell did an Elcamino , first as the Bass Master set . Thats all I'm familiar with ......... Ed Shaver

The dissapointment for me concerning the Rambler wagon wasn't really the too shallow interior , it was the THICK Green glass. The rest of the kit was you're average Promotional car . Ed Shaver -
Chevrolet pickup grilles
Eshaver replied to gtx6970's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Art, ya got that right . Coil springs were used all the way from 1961-7. Cabs were different , Shoot , I have to really think about besides the drive train that wasn't changed out in 1968. You would have thought another company built Chevrolet trucks then . I agree with Camaro Man on the fitment of 69-72 parts fitting a 67-8 Cab too. On 1-1 trucks , even the radiator support carried a different part number . A guy I used to do some Body work for in Ft Worth years ago tried to make 68 parts fir his 70 model with some real wierd adjustments to the sheet metal . Yeah, he took an air chisel to make everything fit and pass the State inspection laws . Ed Shaver -
Aaron, I'm suprised at you . I wouldda thought you of all people would be on this one . Looks to me like the porportions are right on . Ed Shaver

Yes, I too was a big fan of the American satco tires . I went around as i was a releif driver for Wal Worl for a couple of years . I would do my deliveries , drop a trailer and use the cab to stop at a nearby hobby shop and of course buy out all the tires . Ed Shaver

This one is a squared version of the old Viper. Probably not enough head room in it fer me anyway ......... Ed Shaver -
Man , what drugs , uh nightmare was this designer doing anyway ? I'll vote for the old G M C Motorhome . Least it looked like a futuristic bus . Ed Shaver

Monty, somone else posted a link to a testors Color chart andI looked it over carefully. Seeing that the colors were simply re packaged as the small bottles for the most part , a lot of hobby shops simply don't or won't have excess space for a duplicate paint line . I think Testors would have done well to have madethe One coat Laquers in bottle form . Ed Shaver

Model car club failure....
Eshaver replied to modelmike's topic in Model Club News and Announcements
Mike , first, I'm not familliar with the geography of Floridia . still, there are automobile meusuiems , there are car shows , ( 1-1 ) , stores , ( auto- truck ) where someone can put out flyers . This is where you and a couple of DEDICATED helpers go into action! Make Flyers that ask a question . You want to inform anyone who might be willing to just be a participant . Line up a back room in a resturant , a dining hall, a church, a community center , anywhere you can gather a couple dozen interested folks . Ask questions of the audience as to what they might want in a modeling club and DO IT! Find someone to do an "Outline Newsletter " these would be placed in both Hobby Shops and in Auto parts stores . Once the word is out , continue to post a few complimentry Newsletters out so people who didn't get the word might see also . Look , Southern van council was formed out of a couple of beers and a couple of Vanners who felt that the Gulf Coast Vans wern't being represented in an organized way in the 1970's . I joined in as it was an inexpensive way to advertise my products to my audience ........... Ed Shaver -

Eshaver replied to WoodyRDC's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
At one time , a company known as Classic Metal works did the 49 Mercury as a convertable . I have one . Ed Shaver -
Virgil, I would say if ya had a spare 61-3 Ford Pick up cab, you probably could use it as a base . You would then stack the top over the fender area and go ut from there ............. Ed Shaver
