The one exception I do believe is the 62 Ford truck that had the go cart as a complete kit inside of it. The one that had the cover on it for the land speed go cart.
I had the same problem here a few years ago. The bad part was it happened on thanksgiving weekend. The guy was awesome and came out to help me out. They are trying to get new regulations on what can be called flush-able here now.
The kit was released in 2003 as the American Graffti car. The Directory does not show any release earlier than that. It is a 1/25 scale and the Monogram is 1/24 scale released in 1982.
Russ it does seem to have slowed down again. The cable guy was here today and redid some connections. I will say the site runs faster for me if I pause AdBlock. Not a problem to pause it though.
I need to watch this one. My grandfather worked at the Toledo Willys plant during the war. One of the things regret is never asking more questions about that time when he was still with us.
Steve I think I have seen at least one of these at the NNL Nationals. Another in one of the contest issues. Maybe the same truck. They used one of the Car Hauler beds.
To be honest we have all had brain fads behind the wheel. 2, 4 or what ever you have under your booty. Makes no difference when you make a mistake. Hopefully when it happens no one gets hurt or worse.
It all come down to time and money for the quality of the parts being made. The Resin casting changed the way that old models with missing parts have been treated by builders and collectors. The web and EBAY have changed the way people can and do enjoy the Hobby. I think it will have a big positive impact but have no idea how long it will take because of the cost and time frame.
