  1. It is odd that Gregg remains quiet...he should post some sort of update as to the magazine's status. The last update on the magazine's site was about issue #206 in January...it's August now...
  2. Intersting conversion. Champion made motorhomes, I remember their Class C and Class A RVs..
  3. Saw a sharp copper colored '67 Dodge Dart GTS ht, a bright green 6th gen Camaro ZL1 and an orange Corvette C7 Z06 all on Rt 30 outside Greensburg, PA on Saturday. Then back here locally yesterday saw a clean late 80s Rolls Royce sedan in black w/ a red interior and a blue & white Corvair Greenbrier pickup.
  4. All cars rooted in the mid 80s to mid 90s... had a mid 80s Merc 500SEL sedan, but always liked the AMG coupe, driven a few NSXes and 911s. And the Testarossa was my favorite midengined car as a teenager, still love the design.
  5. Sounds like it's pretty similar to the Motor City Muscle version from the 00s except for the pad printed tires.
  6. It does look good. My Mom had a white '77 w/ a dark green top and interior. Traded a '73 Cougar on it. Then later traded for a silver blue '81 Thunderbird.
  7. Wrong. 'set price' simply means a 'set price'. I've bought many Modelhaus, Air-Trax, etc resin kits at set prices well over $100. I'm not a cheapskate, which is a trait that a lot of modelers do have, though.
  8. Fine, but I'm not interested unless I can buy something directly for a fixed price.
  9. With the Modelhaus and most resin casters, their product was/is listed for order on a website (or in a catalog) at a fixed price, not for auction on eBay. I have no interest in getting in a bidding war on eBay for a product.
  10. Beautiful weather here in the Cleveland area also...yesterday and today have been great, after a very rainy Monday and hot and humid weekend. Went for a stroll along Lake Erie in Lakewood yesterday evening.
  11. The C8 most reminds me of the Ferrari F458/488, as far as the shape and proportions. Different detailing of course, though. I read that GM benchmarked the F458 when developing the C8. The modern Ford GT is rather unique in it's shape amongst mid engine cars with it's cabin that tapers front to rear and has those huge pass through arches connecting the roof to the rear quarters.
  12. They were B-pillars..all the 1:1 Continental sedans of that generation had a thin fixed B-pillar. (as well as window frames that were visible when the windows were rolled up). Oddly, though, some of the AMT '61 kits lacked that detail (mine is missing one). Not sure about the '61 promos, never seen one. the '62-69 sedan annuals all had the B-pillar.
  13. Looks like 3 disguised CT6s and 2 CT5s. Could be V-series, though both the '20 CT6 and CT6-v as well as the CT5 and CT5-v have been publicly shown at auto shows.
  14. Good question...I've never seen one in person, but googling turns up photos of them in red.
  15. One of the photos I saw somewhere today shows a golf bag w/ clubs in the frunk.
  16. Odd they didn't release it in the US for July. Looks like a neat kit.
  17. Got a Missing Link resin Crew Cab conversion for the Moebius 68-72 Ford F-series. Also got some Rookie Resin GMC parts incl the V6.
  18. Got the 1/24th WhiteBox Citroen Ami 6 and Citroen SM today. I enjoy the offbeat French cars.
  19. The Revell '66 Chevelle wagon chassis would probably work with a bit of massaging.
  20. I remember White Castle drive-ins here in NE Ohio when I was in college....occasionally get the microwaveable frozen sliders.
  21. That will probably be the next wagon issue..
  22. I like this song by the Teddybears featuring Iggy Pop on vocals, riding around in a neat old Cadillac.. https://youtu.be/8P09rxVaQAM
  23. A couple of my favor Way cool... I do miss off the back country drives in my Jeep around the state...so many scenic paved and non-paved routes..
  24. I took my Mustang GT up Pikes Peak in 1997...washboard dirt road...scary on the blind turns. Later took my Jeep up it.
  25. Saw this LEGO Silverado at the Cleveland Auto Show back in March.
