http://www.modelhaus.com/ They have them.

Corvetts had EFI available from the mid to latter 1950's. The first computerized car I had was an 1982 Chevy Cavalier.

Chrysler and Desoto only used hemi's in 1955.

Keep on keepin' on Tom your doing fine. Looks really impressive. Can't wait to see the final product.

I say model. A large scale one.

A listing of the Ford engines is here: http://en.wikipedia....of_Ford_engines

I have found that I get good results from painting car and truck bodies with Liquitex Professional Heavy Body tube acrylic paints. Add a little Liquitex Airbrush Medium and distilled water and spray at 35-40 psi and I have what I want. Easy clean up, no harmful chemicals and I can paint here in Florida any time of the year. The color selection is good and I can mix to change it any time I please. Anytime I need paint I just grab a Michael's coupon and head on out to the store. A coat of Future give a nice shine and I can also add a clear coat on top of the future.

How did you happen to find this website? These kits you can buy are nothing more than someones version of a RepRap 3d printer. You can get all of the information and how to's on the RepRap weki and more. This printer was developed and newer versions are being developed in the open source community. You can build a RepRap Prusa Mendel for around $400.00 U.S. Read and learn and don't spend your money on something you can do yourself. http://www.reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page

I flip a coin. Heads it's real, tails it's a model.

Nice haul. 58 Fords are hard to find and when you do, their pricey.

Very nice work on your research of the engine and trans. You appear to be on the right track and may produce the first 1950's vehicle for this build off as it appeared out of the showroom. My hat's off to you. If you need reference pics, pm me.

I say model.

I find your credibility rather weak after making a post like this: Hey Doc..Tonio and Myself might want to go...info?? Really. Myself might want to go? Watching to many athletic sportsl wrap up are you?

Source. Where did this information come from? Got my answer of S.A. forum. Bob Downey found it at: http://www.revell.co...s/about-us.html listed in the Future in Modeling section.

You are correct Harry. By going to the web site I referenced and right clicking the heading "Holden Cars History" you get the history of the Holden and it clearly states that production didn't start until 1951. The 1948 pictured, as it is on another site, was apparently a prototype and differed by the lack of the parking lights. The 1948 FX,1953 FJ,1958 FC etc. seem to indicate the model. If a person takes a minute and reads the history they will learn that, written under the year 1948 the model's engineering prefix 48-215 is named FX so that you could tell it from it's successor. I believe that Joe's question "I wonder if that is the name of that body style or generation of truck, kinda like Jeep does with their vehicles (XJ, MJ, ZJ, WJ, TJ, JK, ect.)" is answered by the information on this web site. As far as a 1948 Holden FX ute, I believe I have offered my interpretation of that also.

The best Olds engine I know of is in the AMT 39/40 Ford sedan. The one in the Early Iron 29 Ford roadster pickup isn't too bad except it is blown and 1/24th. I have this 63 Olds in a hardtop kit and personally, I will build it straight out of the box and say thank you very much for the availability of the subject matter.

I think you will find the answer to that question here: http://www.classicholdencars.com/holden-ute-classics/

Very nicely done Lee. I really enjoy seeing you builds.

O. K. Charlie. Were's is your build? I'll be posting on mine soon as I've finished (finally) things I had ahead of them.

Latest forecast 27 minutes ago puts Irene, if it stays on its predicted coarse, about 100 miles east of Cape Canaveral by Friday A.M. This means that people along the I-4 corridor and eastward could get winds of up to 76 mph as well as heavy rains and flooding. This usually equates to power outages. Hopefully, this is the worst we'll get here.

I have the Entex 1936 Mercedes 540K in the larger scale. The supercharger on this model is the revised one. Ian, I think I know where your coming from with the "Works of art, nonetheless." I build a model sometimes because of the subject matter, not for its accuracy.

Tom, your showroom frame looks right on. Great job.

I don't know if they changed between the time I had my station in 67 and your dio circa 1977, but in my time, the cheap cans of oil were black and white. We stocked the show room shelves with the middle grade silver and white for obvious money reason, and the premium cans of gold and white 10w30's were stacked in a pyramid just behind the two front windows. There were black and white one gallon cans of cheap oil also.

Do you self a favor and pick up a dehydrator. I use mine even with acrylics. You'll never regret it. Mine is a Nesco with a temp setting that can be adjusted.
