No rust, but over 200k miles...lots of problems..basically a 5000lb paperweight. Eventually it will go when I move. -
Not into that stuff...

'52 Hudson Hornet, aka HEMI Hornet/Super Hornet, etc...
Rob Hall replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Cars
Cool Hudson... -
Those are nice wheels.....my old W126 ('84 500SEL) has the stock 14 inch wheels, albeit chromed (parked in my back carport, hasn't been driven in 4 years, but still starts.
-
The Mustang wheelbase is a better match, 108.x vs 109.x. The '66 Fairlane 2dr wheelbase is like 116 I think....
-
The AMT Mustangs have an incorrect engine compartment also, IIRC w/ the rounded wheel liners. Probably best to glue the hood shut and do it annual style..
-
What I can't recall about the later issues is if they had much in the way of an engine compartment...inner fenders, radiator, firewall, etc? I have one of '90s issue '61 Rancheros but never built it..don't recall what's under the hood besides a Chevy engine, which makes no sense in a Ford.
-
IIRC, I read somewhere that the engine originated in the AMT '66 Impala annual, a 396. I'm only familiar w/ the release of the Ranchero from the '90s, have no idea what release that engine was added to the kit. Not familiar w/ the original, I assume it may have been a curbside like the '61 Falcon annual was?
-
Still has a Chevy engine, though, like the last issue of the '61, I presume...that was a weird kit.
-
IIRC, they both went for around $50k each. Edit--one went for 45, the other 42. The '70 AAR (yellow) went for 72.5 and the Hemi Cuda went for 160..(it was really sharp, white w/a black stripe).
-
I doubt if very many people even notice, though.

1957 Dodge - - Finished - - Class of '57 - Entry #2
Rob Hall replied to Ramfins59's topic in Model Cars
The factory yellow seems to be lighter/softer, less of a bileous green-yellow that the Model Master paint appears to be.. -
Apparently, they were...according to Wikipedia-- U.S. Navy and Marine Corps SBDs saw their first action at Pearl Harbor. A total of 18 SBDs from the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise arrived over Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack, and Scouting Squadron Six (VS-6) lost six aircraft, while Bombing Squadron Six (VB-6) lost one. Most of the Marine Corps SBDs of Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 232 (VMSB-232) were destroyed on the ground at Ewa Mooring Mast Field. On 10 December 1941, SBDs from the Enterprise sank the Japanese submarine I-70.

Guess 'they' must not have much footage of Japanese planes dropping bombs at Pearl Harbor so they use random stock footage. I was at Pearl Harbor and visited the Arizona Memorial on the 65th anniversary a few years ago, quite an interesting place.

Hmm..don't know of one...I take pics w/ my phones and directly upload to Fotki or Facebook.. don't think I've copied any from the iPhone to my Macs or my Windows laptops. I use iTunes to organize all my music on my iPod and also stream through Google Play...never put any music on my phones, though.

I have an iPhone 5 for work and my personal phone is a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx...the Droid has been so flaky in recent months I'm thinking of switching to an iPhone 5S.

Watching the Mecum KC auctions on Velocity just saw a couple of '70 440 6 pack Cudas...one pink w/ a black shaker scoop (car was a replica) and a strange orange one w/ a black shaker scoop mounted on the outside of the hood--when the hood opened, the scoop raised with it..very strange. Both had black rear wings, of different styles--one with turned down tips (like on the Monogram '71 kits) and the other more of a flat slab (on the orange car). Lots of pics at the links below, but not sure how accurate they are. Here's the orange w/ the funny 'shaker' scoop.. http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=KC1213-169787&entryRow=196 and the pink one http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=KC1213-169794&entryRow=196

Very sharp build. I have yet to build any modern F1 cars, will have to get one sooner or later...the most recent one in my stash is Senna's '94 Williams.
-
Anyone else see this?
Rob Hall replied to Randytheroadrunner's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's very cool..saw that on eBay. -
Got a package from Model Roundup w/ the Revell '69 Shelby convertible and '70 Cuda.
-
The new one that generated so much buzz a while back about the inaccurate body.
-
Fun...beautiful build..the power to weight ratio on those Pinto P/S cars must have been unreal...

2015 Mustang link
Rob Hall replied to 1930fordpickup's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Lots of Ford family resemblance in the various styling cues...headlights and front are strongly reminiscent of the Fusion, some Focus ST in the GT grille, the side ridges remind me of the Taurus...the rear is probably the most unique aspect. -
That Porsche 911 Cabrio looks sweet..didn't realize RoG did that generation (993, looks like?). I got a box from HLJ today...my Tamiya LaFerrari and some older Aoshima kits--'89 Nissan Laurel 4dr, '81 Cedric 4dr ht, '83 Skyline 2dr.

Heh-heh..I'll be ordering those exact parts this month...just picked up another yellow '80s issue MPC '71 Road Runner and some resin '70s 'Hurricane' wheels. Want to do a '72 street machine...
