  1. Do you know Pete Delorenzo personally? Autoextremist is weekly reading for me.
  2. More like P3/4 meets 288 GTO. Is this another Glickenhaus car?
  3. I remember Pactra 'namel and Testors Pla for less than .25c. I have a couple boxes of various colors of Pactra in the bigger bottles.
  4. Grand Prix with Jim Garner captured the European racing scene of the 60's pretty well. And Lemans with McQueen was mostly real race footage, so there's that.
  5. And, it could carry a 300SLR up to 106mph! https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/mercedes-benz/classic/museum/mercedes-benz-high-speed-racing-car-transporter/
  6. Here ya go. Should be lots of ideas for you.
  7. Exactly. The 77-79 'Birds have been requested forever, and the LTD II, Cougar, and MKIV, and MKV could all be done with the same or slightly modified chassis tooling. Dash is almost identical for most versions, and seats and interior tubs have minor variations, but the Mobius F100 kits show how that can be done.
  8. Not only a Mercer, but at least one Stutz K series Bearcat, and a Jordan Playboy. Several Hudsons, and everyone recognized the Buicks and Model Ts, but did you also catch the Model A Ford (the first model As, not Henry's Lady), a model K Ford, and the International Harvester Motorwagons? Not to mention the Fiat Mephistophole, and the racing Benz. Strangely absent, although they would have been relatively contemporary then, were any Duesenberg, or Cadillac.
  9. Kroger used hundreds of these to haul groceries between the Cincinnati and Louisville distribution warehouses. Even had the 2 hole Budds.
  10. Nice stick weld. Bet it wasn't done with a Tombstone Lincoln!
  11. Well, I have seen them with shift levers, so it must have been this, according to Wikipedia: " It was often equipped with an accessory gearbox, such as the Ruckstell or Jumbo gearboxes, which allowed the truck to have intermediate gears between low and high, useful for hill climbing.
  12. Don't forget the TT also had a conventional manual transmission as well.
  13. But will the bumpside F100 4x4 come out before the 64-66 versions?
  14. Interesting fact: The EXP was heavier than the standard 2 dr sedan, despite not having a rear seat!
  15. Surprised nobody has mentioned this one: http://www.stanceiseverything.com/2014/12/wtf-friday-rick-dobbertins-pontiac-j2000/ It might be able to be squeezed under a Chevelle hood. But you may need to relocate the radiator and lengthen the fenders!
  16. I'll be in line for one!
  17. We'll be neighbors in a couple years. I got a place in Scottsville, KY. And Bucky, I get to Lawrenceburg a couple times a year on business. Nice truck, BTW. Never understood why Ford didn't offer a dually pickup until 1980.
  18. A model kit is pretty simple compared to some of the injected molded parts I deal with. If a cooling fan shroud made from glass fiber reinforced Nylon can be shot in less than 90 second cycle time, I'm sure a kit could be less. How long is 50,000 minutes? 34.7 days.... Injection molding is most consistent when allowed to run uninterrupted. Keep the bin full of resin, and barring a failure, 50k kits could be done in 5 or 6 weeks.
  19. Anyone do a Eagle Westlake Spa winner? Probably his signature win, and car.
  20. This stuff is pure gold. Enthralling history of both the Classic 1:1 hobby, and of the icons of the cottage industry of scale autos. More, Gentlemen... more!
  21. Well, I'd like to see a reissue of Fidel's Flip Top 1959 Skyliner.
  22. Lessee.... Members Only jacket, Levi 501's, Nike Cortez, Lacoste polo shirt, gold chain and bracelet. Where did I park the IROC-Z?
