Virgil, tha van was shortened CONSIDERABLY through the middle . I knew a guy in the old Metroplex, ( Dallas Texas ) Van club that did one . he had to run "Wheelie Bars " on it as i fwhen ya took yer foot off the clutch the motor's torque would litterly make the van come off the front at a light . Ed Shaver

Chuck, uh so was a G-20 a 5/8th ton or Heavy duty axle . The G-10's were the light duty vans . Ed Shaver

Here is Revell's 41 Willys Americar coupe in Chesapeak Blue : This is A M T's Willys truck : Ed Shaver

A tribute to the REAL A M T Company .............................. Ed Shaver

Don't ya wish ya could jus drop by and buy one again , brand new ? ED Shaver

I have attempted using Aluminites products with several problems all over the rainbow . I certainly could / would not recomend anything they make as the resin itself had inconsistent dry times , their rubber is too soft and the overall time used in working with their products has produced inconsistent parts ............... Ed Shaver

How about if I told ya'all there is s guy on Primarily Petrolinia .com that makes life size replicas of antique gasoline pumps out of M D F , uh furniture grade particle board .............. Yes , models can be of any form and size . Ed Shaver

Harry makes an excellent point as to some of the Die casts looking "Toyish". With that in mind , Harry also continues to reinforce his arguments with the Mints versions of models we have all seen . Now not everyone here has disposable income to allow for such models in their collection . Then too, Look at Masitio, a big wholesaler of inexpensive and halfway decent looking cars and trucks . For the most part , most of their stuff is havable , ( My version ). No one but them has done the Dodge Diplimats s far as I know . As far as me buying a Diecast over a styereene kit , only if it can not be purchaced first as a plastic kit . Ed Shaver

The 66 Mustang itself needs an overhaul ................. Ed Shaver

Cranky taught ya well sir .................... Ed Shaver

Both subjects mentioned , ( 65 Dodge - 67 Ford F-100 ) should be great sellers ............... Ed Shaver

The top two look better............... Ed Shaver

I dunno about the kits , but the actual car shared most of it's Mercury Cougar and Ford Thunderbird parts in real life . My former business partner owned such a car and I would have to work on it's air bags often ................. Ed Shaver

Yep, even looks fast too................... ! Ed Shaver

Got a phone call from my hobby dealer telling me that the Chevrolet vans had arived via U P S . I haven't picked up my van as yet as my expense check is delayed yet again for the month . Soon as I get some money, Ill go check it out an see ........... Meanwhile , I'm going to be doing mine as the van I used in Houston to deliver products with , Yeah "Cheap magnetic signs" that said Art- Forms design 7676 North Freeway #603-5. . Well, thats what my van had . Ed Shaver

Virgil, if I was closer, I'd buy ya some Cee Gars fer yer Birthday ! Happy Birthday sir . Ed Shaver

Shawn, I bet a lot of the folks here would like to have a tutorial on making a Notchback Mustang such as you did . Nice work too ! Ed Shaver

Finialy a MODERN Ford thats very easy to tune up even !!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Pay attention some of you diorama builders ! Yes , I'm speaking to you that build these "Squeeky clean - SUPER SANITARY garages that are on television, not in the "REAL WORLD". Manny has got it goin on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Tom Mc Cahill of Mechanix Illistrated magazine rated this car one of the best he had ever tested in his day . I know , I owned two of them ......... Ed Shaver

And now , we have a situation wherein our "Leader" thinks " Other" nations need to do the Space Race ............... Im depressed now . Ed Shaver

Tom, it's relitively easy to convert into a fourdoor . Simply move the "B " post back about a 16th. Scribe the back door and done with a rescribe on the front ........... As to Chevrolet having anything outside of a sedan in the Bel Air series , in 62, just the Bubble tops and they were pilliarless as the tops were a result of left over stock in 1961. Ed Shaver

I dunno Glen, the X R -6 had Ansen manufactured slot wheels back in 1964............. Ed Shaver

Tim, this a HOBBY, not a cult , a religion or a contest to inflate egoes . I know some here indulge in such practices . However , if somone here likes what I have , FINE , if not , fine too................ Ed Shaver

Curt, get up with George 53, he seems to know the most about this kit . Ed Shaver
