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.

Hard to tell without badges. Maybe a Suzuki Alto.

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

That I remembered...my Dad loved that movie, I watched it with him several times 30-40 years ago..

Hickman was also in Patton as Patton's Jeep driver.

Hickman is also known for being the driver of the Charger in Bullitt.

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...

My 3 from Model Roundup just came.

Got my 3 Demons from Model Roundup today.

Great movie..didn't realize it was based on a book. The sequel was good also...Gene Hackman was always one of my favorite movie tough guys.

It's kind of limiting to be stuck to those old time definitions...1948 is over 75 years ago. I get it, the diesel Tesla is an example of modern 'hot rodding', i.e. modifying a car in a non-stock manner. A while back, I watched a good series of YouTube videos from Rich Rebuilds where they put an LS into a Tesla Model S... a lot of work and fabrication went into it... the results were interesting.

When I had Ring cameras, I usually got about 6 weeks to a charge out of them. You can adjust the zones for motion detection and the sensitivity to get longer battery life. At my new house I have 2 of the Google Nest wired door bells and six Nest battery cameras, I'm getting about 6 weeks out of them also. But the Nest cameras are a newer generation than the Ring cameras I had and have much clearer images.

IIRC, the ‘79 kit had the redesigned dash like the 1:1 had. I built the ‘78 & ‘79 kits as a kid back in the day.

It’s a replica of the movie car, which was a base Mach 1. The kit is exactly as expected. Maybe down the road they will do a loaded Ram Air Mach 1.

Just got an email from Model Roundup that my 3 preorders have shipped. Woo-hoo!

Got these two built kits from the same seller on eBay. Both restorable and complete (the Vega is missing the steering wheel)—AMT ‘72 Monte Carlo and MPC ‘71 Vega.

Fighting off the afternoon sleepys on a gray day while on a work Zoom call... muted so my team can't hear me yawning..

I have a feeling this one like the Demon and Ford pickups is stuck in distribution hell as far as the US goes..

I assume those were sourced via Wal-Mart. Seems like the distribution is really slow on these kits.

They are saying the week of Feb 4th on their site...

Look on eBay

This one has survived in all its glue bomb glory….my first glue kit I built at age 7 in 1977. Brush painted in Testors ubiquitous 1111 blue, old bathroom carpet cut and put in interior, trunk mat from somewhere else. I hated the two piece plastic tires and changed them out with some parts box wheels & tired sometime in the 80s. The ‘Bad Dream’.

Round 2’s shipping and release dates have all been delayed and slow so far this year. It will be out eventually.

Sun would be nice...been a lot of snow, freezing rain, cloudy and foggy the last few weeks. I can't complain too much, though...I've lived in several very sunny places, had more than enough for a lifetime..

Isn't it just the Lindberg Little Red Truck w/ different decals? Nothing new except for the decals, I'd assume...
