  1. A convertible would have to be a '62-63, wasn't available in '64-65. A 4dr would make sense for the aftermarket. I could see Möebius doing a stock '65 2dr sedan since they already have the body from the gasser version.
  2. hopefully the aftermarket will do ‘58 and ‘59 grilles. I like those more than the ‘60 grille design.
  3. Check VCG Resins...I;ve bought a couple 240 6 cyl couple engines for this truck kit. They have stock and modified versions available. https://www.vcgresins.com/shop/p/ford240300i6stockenginekit Edit: apparently the 240 is for 1964 and newer vehicles, not sure how different it is visually from what was in the earlier trucks..it is a Ford straight 6, I figure it is close enough.
  4. I'd assume the '65 Resto Mod kit has the same content as the '64 Resto Mod kit had except for the year-specific parts (grille, taillights, etc).
  5. I often take my iPad to the bathroom and read Car & Driver, Motor Trend, or Top Gear on it...
  6. As with anything on the internet, many conversations devolve into paranoid conspiracy theories. Too many bored people I guess.
  7. In the box on the right, gray oval. Above the Tamiya logo and description.
  8. I have one on Pre Order at Hobby Link Japan..they have it listed as an August release, but as with anything, that may vary...
  9. Missing Link used to make a '75-76 Fury sedan conversion with chromed grille and round headlights, don't know if they ever offered the headlights by themselves.
  10. I went to a couple of great concerts Friday and Saturday nights...saw Robert Plant & Alison Krauss in Toledo and The Rolling Stones last night in Cleveland. Lots of fun...I had last seen the Stones in 2005, and this may be the last time I see them. Exhausted today, but a good day to rest.
  11. Model Roundup has it for preorder as a July release.
  12. I remember the first time I became aware of Canadian-specific cars was in the 80s as a teenager in the Florida Keys...snowbirds w/ Ontario plates..a neighbor had a '78 Chevy Bel Air 4dr, there was a 74 Meteor Rideau 500 2dr around town, a late 77 Pontiac Laurentian 2dr, and a Pontiac Tempest (Chevy Corsica).
  13. Those hood louvers look like they came from a hardware store...very strange.
  14. A kit would be neat..I have small Matchbox and Majorette dieceast ones. My first SUV was an '88 Bronco II XLT 4x4 in gold and brown two-tone. V6, 5spd manual...neat little truck, drove it from '94-00 before I switched to Jeep Grand Cherokees.
  15. Went to the beach today, and at a roadside hot dog/burger joint saw a sharp dark red '54-55 Corvette (don't think it was '53--those were all white?). Whitewall tires w/ matching red steelies, no wheel covers. Looked very clean..should have taken a pic.
  16. I've used Mint Mobile for a few years after 20+ years w/ Verizon. Overall been happy w/ their service. My annual fee is about what 3 months on Verizon was.
  17. Got a couple of the new ‘64 Malibus in the mail today, along with a ‘65 Mustang promo in decent shape.
  18. The FB group is up to 971 members, lots of photos posted. Seems pretty active. Makes sense to go where people are, plus having no cost of maintaining a website…
  19. A '61 Fury would have been better than a '57...more evil/deranged looking, IMO.
  20. The '59 Dodge has a good scowl, and the '61 Plymouth looks like an angry insectoid alien.
  21. Definitely expanded compared to the original:
  22. They have really good stuff... I've bought several of their prints off of eBay.
  23. As an adult, I've lived in Ohio, Michigan, Colorado and Arizona. Arizona was a one plate state, bought my current Jeep there in 2017, it didn't have a front bracket..moved to Ohio right after I bought it, had to get a front bracket installed. Then a few years ago, Ohio switched to being a one-plate state..so I took off the front plate and put a Jeep logo plate on it, my 2019 Cadillac I recently bought has a front bracket, put a Cadillac logo plate on it, and on my '87 Mustang GT put a vintage Ford Motorsport plate on the front.
