    Depends on if you build it with two tanks. Not sure if the two tank option was available on short beds...looks like for a single tank the back one would be correct. But in googling '78s I see that the '78 had a fuel door instaed of an exposed gas cap..

    Round 2 does seem to put more effort into their re-issues, though. Esp. w/ the presentation.

    Looks good...may have to get one. Always liked the crew cabs of that era.

    I suspect the initial use case once they get past the prototype stage will be in large cities, like bike sharing programs. Sort of an alternative to taxis or car hire services such as Uber or Lyft. Call up one on your phone, punch in your destination (within a specific area), and away you go...

    Photos are 2 dimensional, though..can only go so far...need 3D scans of a 1:1 to feed into a CAD system, I would think.

    Some people can't handle the truth.

    The JL van is nice..I have one in the red Coca-Cola livery..not sure how many versions they did.

    I took a nap today...and I've watched 12 hours of racing it seems like (Monaco F1, Indy 500, Nascar Coca-Cola 600).. Enjoying a 4 day weekend. Friday was more productive--since I was up until 2:30 am I took two naps during the day. Work has been intense the last month, catching up on lost sleep I guess....

    IIRC they had a fire at the their factory that destroyed a bunch of tooling or something, back around 2000 or so. They made some really neat stuff, I have their Neons, an Aurora, the van, the LHes and JAs, a Monte Carlo or two...

    A BMI of 35 or higher is morbidly obese, greater danger of someone having a stroke or heart attack..dangerous for people that out of shape to be behind the wheel of a heavy truck...

    Haven't seen any yet...would like to see any of these...

    At least w/ self-checkout, I don't get stuck behind someone paying by check or with loose change (slow, painful). Though the grocery I frequent the most doesn't have self-checkout.

    Just like with ATMs and self-service gas stations...faster, more efficient DIY solutions.

    I've got to build mine...bought my '67 convertible mint and sealed, but the windshield frame is mashed a bit. I've got all the AMT full size Ford annuals from '59-70 w/ multiples of some years along w/ some reissues in my stash.

    They probably said the same thing years ago when banks installed ATMs...can't turn back progress.

    Look again..the split picture shows it with the decklid open, so the spears aren't visible..

    Looks flatter.. this is an '80-ish US spec I think...
  18. Rob Hall
    Ah...for detailing the black parts..will have to keep that in mind.
  19. Rob Hall
    That was one of the first things I checked after opening the box..mine looks fine.
  20. Rob Hall
    Sharp build.

    I wonder when the '48 coupe is coming out..strangely, there is no mention of it on Galaxie Ltd's website.
  22. Rob Hall
    The '58 was the first issued-- as a 'Pro Modeler' 2n1 version, then the '59 2n1 came a year or so later. IIRC the upholstery patterns differ also. One thing that isn't clear about this reissue--is it stock only, or does it include the optional parts the original issue (which included steel wheels w/ baby moons IIRC) ?
  23. Rob Hall
    Yes, got mine yesterday from Diecast Alley...great customer service. It's a sweet kit..first thing I noticed is how well packaged and presented it is..
  24. Rob Hall
    Oh well. I'd like to have seen it released, but not to be. Guess I will have to build the resin ones I have eventually.

    Some rain would be nice...the usual same old, same old dry, sunny, hot and dull here in the desert void.
