  1. Wilhelm's Wonder? That is now the Ice Cream Truck they just released.
  2. I had that Mark IV and Trailer kit still sealed. Got it cheap myself then sold at swap meet for $100 about a year ago.
  3. You sir, have just won the internet. Glue or no glue, if it looks great...I want it.
  4. The Fugimi Cavalier was the Toyota version. Yes, Chevy sold their Cavies under the Toyota name. The Japanese hated them becuase they were not up to the standards of Toyota's own cars. It was part of GM's and Toyota's collaboration in those days that brought us the late 90s Chevy Nova/Geo Storm cars.
  5. Traded off the 2010 HHR Panel and now drive a 2011 GMC Terrain. Has the 2.4 Ecotech engine similar to my HHR. Nice SUV. Needed a bigger hauler for my DJ gear. I do miss the HHR as the both of them were trouble free.
  6. I got my Heller Petit Gris Fergie tractor and it is an amazing kit.
  7. The Opel Admiral is in 1/24th
  8. Squadrons...I edited my mistake as I said Stevens...which would be wrong.
  9. Officially, the back light is a back light in the US too.
  10. Wouldn't mind seeing the Packard moved up to 1/24 scale. I think they should do some of the Eastern Europe from behind the former Iron Curtain cars as well, my Chinese Hong Qi CA770 is very lonely in the case.
  11. I just looked at what you posted. Grille falling off, crooked radiator install and jagged BMF work plus no wiring under the hood and dust. You think he would take care of those issues before offering it for sale.
  12. Revell Germany's just reissued Opal GT kit in 1/32 scale. The chassis looks like it was cribbed from an old Palmer kit...dual exhausts and leaf springs
  13. It's basically the same chassis as the Monaco or Polara kits that MPC put out in 65 and 66. So any full size chassis from that era Mopar kit would probably work.
  14. If yer not using the stock tail lamp for the Monaco, would you sell me the chrome piece that sits inside the red piece?
  15. Mispell of the word Rallying
  16. Wouldn't a Yenko or Nickey Nova technically be a COPO
  17. During my many travels around the US in the early seventies, would chance upon the odd model here and there. A truck stop out side of St Louis yielded an AMT Dump Truck kit. In Weldon Illinois, I was working with the Christ Is The Answer Ministry and the small town had a little grocery store that sold kits. That one yielded up the AMT 63 Vette. A small hardware store in Braidwood Illinois yielded two Ertl IH Farm Wagons.
  18. When I was growing up in Milwaukee on the south side, there was a little drug store on the corner of S.31st and W.Greenfield ave. It was called Louie's and it had a soda fountain where you could get malts, Stewart sammiches and popcorn made in one of those machines that shook the little pan the popcorn came in similar to Jiffy Pop. Anyways, he had general merchandise as well as medicines. There was always a couple of model kits. I bought my MPC 65 Monaco and the 66 Polara there. Over on Muskego Avenue there was a small hardware store that also carried models. I bought the AMT 69 Wildcat (or LeSabre...I not sure) and a JoHan Mercedes Benz kit. He had a small selection of Pactra, Testor's and AMT paints in bottle and spray too.
  19. Maybe the Porsche tractor is in response to Heller's tractor kit. i certainly would enjoy building this kit. The Buggy will be bought for going into my 1/32 shelf. Great quick build to break slumps. Nothing sad about it.
  20. ...and of course I had just located a rare hard to find 1/32 scale Mustang anwhat do they do? They re issue it. Well, that's OK, the new re pop will be built and the original will go into the Lord Air Gtar Museum of Model Memories as a rare bagged version of the Mustang.
  21. A lot of really nice engines mentioned. I have to give props to the GM EcoTech four cylinder engines. Tough little beasts. Both my HHRs had them and now even my GMC Terrain has the 2.4 version. Pulls that heavy vehicle around quite nicely. Also an older Volvo B18 four was a reliable solid engine. Simple to work on too.
  22. Traded off my HHR in April and bought a 2011 GMC Terrain. Nothing wrong with the HHR but I needed something with more space.
  23. Got the 67 Dodge Coronet Foose edition from the Lovely Lori
