Finally someone answered me ! Look, when Monogram did this van , I was too dern busy running a Van Accessory manufacturing business in Houston ............... It just need one of my scale snack trays and a pair of the seats my company built The Oldsmobile has me wondering. A M T was set to have made this kit back in the late 80's and early 90's . Did someone get the tools that were cut and just finish the job ? I guarantee ya'all that the new 57 Ford has a place in several Cop enthusiasts hearts . Meanwhile , I'll be building another 40 Ford truck into a 41.............. Ed Shaver

Steve , I seem to recall Johan Haneil doing a couple of smaller scale Aircraft kits back about 1968. Would these have been from that time ? I'm also told he was a great fan of aircraft himself . Strange ,he concentrated all of his efforts into doing promotional cars . Good luck on your new model company .I'm a large supporter of ANYTHING manufactured here in this country. Ed Shaver

Here, Richmond Va. , it's gotten picked over now ..................Ed Shaver

I always enjoy what Hollywood Jim has to offer . Ed Shaver

O K Sam , you can join us at the Early Ford Club runs now ....................... Ed Shaver

I really can not decide on any ONE vehicle . Each one represented it's own unique set of challenges . The first , an R & R 1935 Ford has been one of my most challenging as I was told by Ole Ray that this was a simple drop on A M T's 34 Ford chassis . Yeah, that and a nickel won't pay ya out of a traffic jam on the Gulf freeway . The frame was entirely scratch built as this truck was/ is scaled at something in between 1-23rd and 1-28th .

That diorama is one piece of art ! Ed Shaver

I remember A M T making such a kit back in the 1970's or so . By that time , I was too busy manufacturing Custom Van parts . I didn't go back to models until about 1986 or so .............. Ed Shaver

At least some body here "gets it ".................................. Ed Shaver

Bruce , I would be happy to. However , uh what city , what state ? Can I e-mail these people ? Hey, I'm in Virginia ......... Ed Shaver

You sill de Mann Chuck !!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Chuck, Linburg's Ford was originally an old Palmer Plastics tool . There's no way of telling as they were in New York at one time . You know spies have a way of pilfering .............. Ed Shaver

Cranky, with all those models, when do you eat, go to shop or anything else ? Ed Shaver

Hey George , Gary has always been a stand up guy with me . Perhaps maybe I can get up to Canada sometime to actually see what all he has squirreled away in da woods . Ed Shaver

Rob, I show even at a "FEW" select I P M S events . Problem is , my stuff in Virginia given the "Fetishists" who think only WWII stuff need apply seems to dominate the arena . Actually, the people in North Carolina are FAR and above a whole lot easier to deal with overall. can tell ya , they are friendlier , more hospitable and more open to ideas . Oh an yes , I have SERIOUSLY considered moving to the Charlotte area in the past year too. I need to sell one more house I own . Ed Shaver

Gang, I built two of these in 1965 when the "Modified " tool as in tall T came out . I liked then so much , I did a couple more when the Chopped T's came out and a few in betweens using just the Cowl and a stretched chassis to do a Model T T . Trust me on this one , body is accurate as I have had access to a 1-1 car .............. Ed Shaver

Hummmmmmmmmm, mebbie I should bring the Shell shaped Shell diorama ? Ed Shaver

That Porche was/ mebbie is the same car they ran in the Only Dallas Texas Gran Prix race they ever ran back about 1984.....I remember seeing that car being off loaded . Wayy kwell ! Ed Shaver

Subject matter , attention to detail, ya got muh attention ! Ed Shaver

I think ya did a great job. Now someone do a NON- Chopped top so I don't have to ................. Ed Shaver

Wow, an I thought I was always taking chances ............. Please keep us informed as to your progress. Ed Shaver

SATURDAY, SATURDAY , SATURDAY .................. yep one mo week ! Be there er Nowhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

George , with the name changed to Caltex and using maybe some replicated Satam Pumps , it would be a Spanish, perhaps an Italian or maybe a French Texaco filling station .......... Ed Shaver Italian Manufactured Satam pump used at a B. P Station about 1959: Caltex station - Germany : Texaco station - W/ canopy , ( western region ) built about 1939-41

Seb, I've just gone and re read all of the posts you made as well as the complementary posts . First , Texaco was NOT Gulf in the sense that pumps weren't made to ANY Standard , nor were they made by one company to fit a station . Texaco, like a lot of the stations such as Richfield tended to stay with a couple of manufacturers to lower costs . The Wayne #60's pictured in the photo you have were typical . Then too, you seem to have replicated a close proximity , a pair of Tokiem #39-L's . There is NOTHING wrong with anything so far . I like it and as the photographer of the book, Check the Oil by Scott Anderson - 1983 , I think I should ought to know something about the station appearance . I really should have gone and published the book , I was working on and maybe I shall ,now that Computers make such an endeavor possible . Jus build it, the crowds will applaud ! Ed Shaver

Dis is a No- Brainer for the Muscle car models ............. Hey Round -2 ya awake yet ? Ed Shaver
