  1. I like the '67 Muscle Car... reminds me of a what if Buick had a F-body.. the last one (Imperial) looks more like a '69 Lincoln up front..
  2. It’s been over 30 years since I’ve driven a RWD car on snow. I recall using snow tires and bags of concrete mix in the trunk and got around pretty well. In snowy climates since then I’ve always had 4WD SUVs w/ all season tires and no problems. I have a 4WD SUV and an AWD sedan now, my vintage RWD cars sit in the garage. But working out of my house, I have the luxury of not going out when the weather is nasty (I really, really dislike ice and fog).
  3. Yeah, I never realized the '79 decklid was shaped differently than the '80-93. Between my parents, myself and my brother we have had a 1/2 dozen Fox Bodies over the years, still have my '87 GT. Heard about the difference and saw pics in a FB Foxbody group I'm in. I haven't seen a notchback in ages....
  4. Ford did something like that with the Fox body Mustang, the first year ‘79 notchback deck lid is flat across the edge crease, in ‘80 they went to a deck lid that curves up and across at the edge to make it stronger. Discovered that factoid just in the last year (my first Mustang was an ‘86 LX notchback).
  5. Not sure if there is much difference between the ‘70 and ‘71 Dusters. What I suspect will be coming eventually might be Pro Stock versions of the Demon and Duster…those might be popular…
  6. Interesting..if the Comets are successful, maybe they will do more Mercurys... I'd really like to see a '68-69 Cyclone...
  7. I remember the 2006 release had a taller hood scoop and different wheels (the Pontiac mags in some versions never made any sense). That box also called it a Duster. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/amt-ertl-38155-1975-dodge-dart-sport-hard-top--1155022
  8. I suspect there will be additional versions of the Demon and Duster coming...
  9. '64 Olds Cutlass AWB Streaker funny car.
  10. Probably the Mach-e...been around a few years, an EV CUV.
  11. Yes. I took a pic of it from a different angle.
  12. At the Plastic Unlimited show (Akron, Oh area) I got an MCW resin '70 El Camino kit and a few parts kits (Revell '76 Torinos, etc) for some future builds.
  13. The Crawford Museum had an open house and car show at their storage and restoration warehouse in Macedonia, Ohio this morning. Stopped there after going to the Plastic Undercover model show.
  14. Fun show. I saw at the AMT table some test shots for upcoming releases.
  15. The ‘79 (‘Bear Bait’) was MPC’s last Chevette annual, pretty sure it has never been reissued.
  16. If you mean the Möebius Ford F-series, Scalemates seems pretty complete. There are more coming that haven't been released yet. https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION[]=Kits&q=moebius+ford
  17. Ugh... that would be annoying.. I have no interest in any kind of decoration anymore..I used to put some up Xmas decorations at my last house, didn't do any last year at the new house, probably won't this year..to much work.
  18. I have some sort of electrical issue in my garage. Flipped on the lights at the back of the garage yesterday (separate from the fluorescent lights over the cars) and heard a sizzle, and saw white smoke coming out of a metal box at a junction of two metal conduit tubes in the rafters. Moved the cars outside, cut the power to the garage, got an electrician coming Monday....kind of freaked me out.
  19. Recent pics of the Yorkie siblings Lola, Lulu, and Jack..recently turned 18 months old. Happy, healthy, full of energy...
  20. Will have to try that. When I had a Cadillac STS a few years ago, mice ate the wiring harness when it sat outside. I have glue traps under my CT6 and Mustang, but the Jeep sits outside..
  21. Interesting. Wasn’t aware of a museum section.
  22. Rainy day, good day for a museum. Drove over to Warren, Ohio and toured the National Packard Museum. Some beautiful cars.
  23. For vintage, maybe an Aston Martin Lagonda, Lamborghini Espada, or Jensen Interceptor. For modern, a Bentley Continental GT or Mercedes CLS (1st or 2nd gen).
  24. I don't think there has been any concrete release info from Möebius about a '67-68 Chevy pickup, beyond a card with a prominent misspelling and a pic of a 1:1 pickup at a show almost a year ago. As seen in this thread below, first post. Just lots of speculation in various threads.
  25. When I was in the Outer Banks a couple weeks ago, I saw an Outer Banks edition Bronco in that green. 4dr of course. See very few 2drs in the wild.
