  1. The citation was years ahead on the 4 door coupe fad. Gag. Coupes have 2 doors. Period. Now we have “coupe” SUV’s. ??
  2. Tail of that is gorgeous. Front end shot available? Nice work, paint
  3. Thanks Tim. Other than the pictures, we could just have a standard thread template. And a “I’ve seen and laid hands on it” yes or no check box. Also, implying someone is a whore (opinion for $) is uncalled for, and we deserve better than that, especially Tim. I have no doubt of his integrity.
  4. That’s appears to be a fairly rare MPC 66 Bonne HT. Looks nice, couple glue dimples but pretty nice!
  5. Which Sunbeam Tiger issue is that? Haven’t seen that box art before. 1st pic, 3rd shelf down, bottom row fourth one over. ? Nice stash.
  6. Sad face because I missed it at that price. Good hit. Pinto kits are the bomb
  7. Lots to say. I started new thread. Heart on. Lol. Mrs. Snake doesn’t Let him date ? Great GP Bill. Nice save. Good looking cars still.
  8. Since discussion in real photos of “glue bombs” thread turned into philosophy class, let’s talk which you like. Not why each choice better than another. I hate the term “gluebomb”. Really only applies to hooptie all accessories from kit glued on or glass putting divots in roof. Or trim sanded off, etc. Think parts car at best Restorables are assembled kits with poor build quality, but all there. Like an ok barn find not a filthy rust heap. Fairly complete, may need pillar or vent window, but glass/chrome/trim ok, or at least saveable. Old/new kit speaks for itself. But older kits don’t mean common stuff for purpose of this discussion. Post pics in glue bomb thread mostly? Have fun.
  9. I don’t see pictures of restorables like thread says. Let’s stick to topic of nice rescues. Please. Maybe a new thread to pro/con rebuilds? Snake, great work, Plowboy too. End result and amusement is all that matters really. “Model on!”
  10. Photo of ships waiting at anchor to unload. 60+ ships LA LB area alone. Labor to unload up, anchorage fees up, fuel up, don’t forget awesome tariffs, and 6% (2%?) inflation.
  11. Not this. 40% of delta, not sum (28.74) This. $4.2 Everyone here insistent on 40% off More interested in why they bought licensing since nothing in tool bank matches really. Revell and Atlantis have lots Odd way to spend capital
  12. $7 bump - 40% is only $4.20. Lol. Assume Revell jacked Roth around like TD? Other than truck decals (all the show semis Roth did?) what tool does R2 have for this? Buy license so Revell tool bank has to sit? Or more wrapped shelf sitters for Roth memorabilia people. Odd.
  13. Lol. Dave, you responded to a 9yo post. I though Casey was good at thread necromancy. No problem. Just funny
  14. Posted in other thread, reposting here for Paul. Cool these are getting interest. A few threads on here. The Pierce, Duesy, and Packard are huge. Monogram Duesenberg length. Need 20-22” wheels to keep them looking normal with more modern tires. The Jordan, Bugatti, Mercer, and Stutz are closer to 64 Impala size. Mercer smallest, real car based on 289 Cobra but bigger than Monogram 1/24 427 Cobra. There are color flips, suspect for non painted variety. Likely molded in single colors and trees separated and mixed in packaging. Stutz was red over black, and also black over red. Duesy was dark tan over light tan, and vice versa. Mercer white over red and red over white. Bugatti was light blue over white and white over blue. Packard same with dark and medium green. Jordan’s were dark and light blue mixes. Only car I’ve not seen a flip is the Pierce. All seem to be maroon. I’ve got color flips of all unbuilt, and builders many one owner in progress. Updating to more modern running gear, fixing some details on a few, Bugatti especially. Fun kits. I’ll see about some pics when I get time.

  16. I’m sure everyone would pay more for better box art. Or at least 60% of it. Lol.
  17. Mod rear end into a 61 and make a 61 300. Im in on that all day. Exner fins and canted quads.
  18. Up against sweet Mustang II and Volare. itd have sold a few
  19. Mannix roadster was MPC, predated Californian iirc. Ugly as hell. Dave Darby pointed out MOC giblets dissimilar to JH and AMT. So as mentioned JH did amt versions 67-68-70. Only sold 66 and 69 annual. Amt did 70 annual. JH later issued 70. Iirc it was stock only. Mannix was late 68 Californian was 69
