  1. The Testors kits were released around '97-98. '69 AMX, '70 Cutlass 442, '71 Comet, '71 Cuda... the 'HSO' line..though I think the Comet came a bit later. Some were in those weird brown cardboard boxes, some were in normal sized flipper boxes. I think you are referring to Okey Spaulding that did the Rambler wagon and Turbine.
  2. Probably cheaper to use decals for badges than engraving...
  3. Yeah, that camper shell just looks fake to me..don't think I've ever seen one made like that...I want to cut off the section that goes over the cab.
  4. Mail call. Got a couple older Fujimi Koenig Testarossas. Love the 80s tuner styling.
  5. For the AF/X '65, it’s not a stock body. Would an actual AF/X drag car have emblems? I haven’t seen the original kit, did it have emblems? Or do you mean the upcoming stock '64..I assume the badging will be handled with decals.
  6. My neighbor has had his Harley trike out this week.
  7. Saw a Rivian R1T in a dark green. Nice color, first I’ve seen in that color. Also a new Mustang Dark Horse in its signature blue gray color. Sharp.
  8. ^ I recently got a built Johan Eldo of that era--decent but missing the chassis, engine, wheels and tires. I have a spare AMT Escalade..thinking about cramming the Slide chassis/etc under the Eldo. Checked out a nice semi-local hobby shop this morning (Haven Hobby in Elyria, OH) and picked up a couple more MPC '76 Caprices..want to use the interior and chassis for some Too Many Projects 3D printed '70s Impalas.
  9. Mail call today... looks good at first glance through the box.
  10. I remember them...got a number of resin kits from them about 10-15 years ago...
  11. That is one I’d love to see, kind of an overlooked muscle car. Who made the resin one, never seen one?
  12. My '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee (3.6 V6, 4x4) hit 78k miles today. Washed it yesterday, looks pretty good for 10 years old. Had my '87 Mustang GT out yesterday, it has 65k miles. 5.0 and a 5 speed. Also have my late father's '69 Mustang currently under restoration. Looking to buy another car in the next couple months, maybe a late model Cadillac CT6 or CT5...a comfy sedan for road trips.
  13. I'd love a '67/68 Cougar clone. The MPC '70 Cougar ht and convertible or '70/71 Mercury Cyclone would be great... For something all-new and never done before, I'd love to see a '68-69 Mercury Cyclone. Never kitted, and never seen in the resin and 3D print world...not going to happen, but would be nice.
  14. Speaking of non-SS Chevelles, I had not heard of the Malibu 400, googled and turned up pics of a convertible w/ the strip speedo, column shift automatic, bench seat, and factory stripes. Wild...
  15. That would be nice. I thought cutting the speedometer area out of a ‘70 Impala dash and fitting it in. I think any non ‘70 SS Chevelle would have the strip speedometer? The round gauges were an SS thing, I think.
  16. Those base Chevelle/Malibu parts would be nice to have...all the kits of the '70 have been SSes, would like to do a couple as base 6 cyl or small block Chevelles.
  17. Unusually nice sunny Saturday for February in NE Ohio, took my 5.0 out for a drive on some great winding two lane roads nearby.
  18. This is the AMT Fruehauf reefer trailer, the Great Dane reefer was an ERTL tool... It's been a long time since this one was last out I think.
  19. Hard to tell without badges. Maybe a Suzuki Alto.
  20. Neat..never seen that video. There is a 3D printed '68 Galaxie 4dr like the car in the video, there is one on eBay now... https://www.ebay.com/itm/256134015225?hash=item3ba2c6e8f9:g:3H0AAOSwafdkqCkL
  21. That I remembered...my Dad loved that movie, I watched it with him several times 30-40 years ago..
  22. Hickman was also in Patton as Patton's Jeep driver.
  23. Hickman is also known for being the driver of the Charger in Bullitt.
  24. Oh, yeah French Connection and Seven-Ups are good crime and car chase movies. Saw them first as a teenager in the 80s. If they aren't too grainy they would probably look good on my modern 65 inch HDTV. Have to watch them again, probably been 20 years since I've seen either...
  25. My 3 from Model Roundup just came.
