  1. New tool of S2??‍♂️. S1 could do a 47 as well. Marui Pantera looks great. Haven’t seen Pantera despite out for few years
  2. Landy is an NAS spec 110. Pretty rare, only 500 real US cars or so in us. Lots of imports though. Fun cars https://bringatrailer.com/land-rover/defender-110-nas/
  3. Cool. Our MIA @Casey has a TL wagon. Wagon mafia ftw. Heinously ugly pickup prob Chinese I guess. Badges covered. Curious. Found it. Ssangyong. https://www.drive.com.au/news/ancap-ssangyong-actyon-sports-ute-3-star-ancap-safety-rating-not-good-enough/ Lol like Internet rule #34 there’s porn of it
  4. No. There’s a difference between affordability and mediocrity. Lots of stuff affordable that isn’t mediocre. Huge stratum differences that WM covers. MSFT I prob defer to best of the available. Motorola and BlackBerry were the bomb, until they weren’t. Nokia too. Winders 95 and XP were pretty stable backbones. Rants available, but I ran my biz on them. Consider cheap tools vs. reasonably priced stuff vs full FACOM. Glad I have 50+yo Craftsman.
  5. Bet ya $5 that 90% of buyers will never open hood. When is this coming? I forgot about it
  6. DOHC from IMC Gt40? Or maybe a DFV.
  7. Not anymore. Mediocrity dies usually. Ford doesn’t make cars anymore really. Mustang, Continental, thassit. It’s really a MachE. SUVs are it now. Largest selling Toyota is RAV4, hasn’t been a car in years. I choke on Lambo/Ferrari/RR/Bentley/Porsche SUVs but they outsell cars by multiples. Porsche got saved by SUVs. My wife has a GLC63S, tuned, stupid fast. I still won’t have one for myself. ICE or die. ??But I respect them for tech. Horses for courses.
  8. Yeah. Was unclear. Bubble tops weren’t the only S/S cars and the Rev kit was decal source. ??
  9. No, just every time it comes up it’s same. Like the pre 48 street rod brawl, or the airbags, or the catalysts, or save the stick,…. Opinions are great. I agree with some, consider others. But (not just you Bill) everyone shouts opinion, if you disagree, they shout louder and demonize you. Ergo no progress. Lather (literally), rinse, repeat. Wait til Fords Nucleon comes out, that’ll be hilarious. https://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/17/nuclear-powered-atomic-age-classic-cars/
  10. Thanks Bill. Same to whomever bought the other reissues. Sad tires. I’ve not seen quick and dirty fix for melt, haven’t looked in awhile.
  11. Nice hit Ray. Wish someone would do a 47, and a 26R with flares and motor. Gunze long gone.
  12. Squit (gray), Bobby (turquoise), and Pesto (lavender) Pigeons from Animaniacs.
  13. RM box art. Unfamiliar other than that.
  14. Blower not in S/S. Fuel cells didn’t exist in 62 Never saw chute on S/S. Just no. And others know far more than I do https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2014/04/02/unrestored-factory-lightweight-1962-chevrolet-impala-ss-409-heads-to-auction https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/what-winners-drove-1962-chevrolet-impala-ss
  15. Matchbox did one as well in 1/24, I’ve not had hands on Ertl. Frankbury did pickup too, forget which one.
  16. Looking at inventory of Hyman. Found this nice 32 Imperial. History pretty interesting, one owner saw the MPC kit and wanted 1:1. The car turned out to be the car MPC used to make the kit. Owned since 71. Neat kit of cool car. https://hymanltd.com/vehicles/6844-1932-chrysler-cl-imperial-convertible-sedan/
  17. Wonky factor high. Those cars and W123’s are tanks. Cool
  18. Those are made from the OG Jeep “Swamp Buggy” CJ2a kit. The bulk of tire was a hard plastic 2-pc slick x4. Tread was separate soft vinyl you were supposed to glue on as tread. Didn’t work for squat. I don’t remember these in anything else. I got the Modelhaus ones ages ago. Look great. MPC centers fit as do AMT.
  19. Amt orig trophy issue 57 Ford. Still have it. Dropped it on stairs taking it to my room. Didn’t know swear words yet ??‍♂️
  20. @Snake45 strong work on all. Esp sobriety. Hope y’all better.
  21. @jaymcminn Nice builds. Thank you for no red Ferraris ??Nocciola NART Rubino Cal, TdF Daytona,… ????
