This week-- Lindberg Charger Police car in Florida Highway Patrol livery Modelhaus parts--chrome trim and interior for '68 Dodge Coronet R/T AMT '59 Mercury Park Lane conv in restorable condition (needs some Modelhaus resto parts)

Looks like a lot of great parts in these kits. So do the different versions only differ in the decals for the specific livery--do all the police car kits have the same police parts (light bar options,wheel options, etc)?

Paper clips. pens. notepads, sticky notes, pushpins. Not much really scrap in a corporate cubeland environment.

Cool...will be interesting to where it goes... One idea that's been percolating in my head a while is to cut down the cab, convert it to RHD, change the grille and do a British Airways Dodge 50 stair truck like the ones I saw at London Heathrow airport about 10 years ago...

Beautiful build..great example of the Pro Touring style.

Not looking good for my Steelers in the 4th. Half time was dreadful. Liked the Chrysler ad alot, though.

Hmmm...someone had an open boat and a dead van in their yard, decided they wanted a cabin cruiser..

I've been buying from the Modelhaus for over 15 years now... they are my go-to source for replacement/repair parts when restoring old builtups, and I've bought a couple dozen of their kits, and plan to buy a couple dozen more.. great products, great customer service, no complaints from me.

For Studies, I'd like to see a Golden Hawk or the beautiful '62 GT Hawk over the ugly bulletnose..

I saw that car up close at the Gooding & Co show last month..rough, but restorable..missing some trim.

The separate decklid nails it as the Revell. Reissued in the last couple of weeks.

Yes...I'd love to see more late '60s and early-to-mid '70s land yachts. My favorite era and genre.

Too old and obscure.

The Modelhaus '67 GPs are really nice...have both of them in my to-build stash, along w/ their '66 ht.

Ya..I did my time in NE Ohio... there were a lot of things I enjoyed about the Cleveland area, but the winter weather wasn't one of them. Of course, AZ has the lousy summers..4+ months of triple digit temps...which is worse?

From what I've read, the '69 Charger Daytona used modified '70 Coronet front fenders. Or '70 Charger front fenders..definitely not regular '69 Charger fenders (no bumper notch).

Brr...was 40 when I did my Chipotle lunch run an hr ago here in Chandler.

Problem is, those would be basically all new kits...pretty much nothing in common between a '99 Silverado and a current one, same w/ the SUVs. On the Impala, only the chassis and roof would be common between those years.

Grumbling about the climate and the weather is just human nature. Seems everytime I talk to my Mom in Ohio that's the first thing we talk about. Everywhere I've lived in my life (E. Ohio, SE Michigan, the Florida Keys, Chicago, Colorado Springs, Denver, Phoenix) has had it's unique weather patterns, highs and lows, ups and downs. As will where I move next will have. That's just the way it is. As Buckaroo Banzai said, 'Wherever you go, there you are'.

The weather is definitely variable here..very dramatic range of temps and sudden shifts. I remember a lot of wild weather also when I lived in Colorado..40 inch snows, then 60 degrees a couple days later..

Yes, about 30 here now...couldn't believe yesterday..only got in the 40s..sunny and windy.

I forgot to mention wagons in my list... definitely been a popular subject of resin casters in recent years. I'd love to see a wagon from the Revell '62 Impala or a '55-57.

Also used in a British road racing series..I've seen B&W pics of them on tracks like Brands Hatch w/ '63 Galaxies and Lotus Cortinas, etc... I have restorable builtup AMT '64 and '65 Falcons I got years ago, but they are both convertibles..the only HTs I have are the Model King AF/X ones.

I talked w/ a buddy of mine that lives near downtown Chicago last night...he and his wife have stocked up on food, etc and don't plan to go out until after the storm..they don't have a truck w/ a snowplow, but a Mini convertible and a Prius.

I bet the local weather guys are getting wild! Snowpacalypse '11!! Stay warm.. I remember vaguely as a kid the Blizzard of '78, was out in rural Eastern Ohio then. Some of biggest snowfall I remember was back in March '04 or '05..had about 45 inches of snow over 2 1/2 days in Denver..didn't go outside for 3 days. Was 40 and sunny a couple days later.
