One some, AMC had the same center cap as Chrysler. Just the emblem piece was different.

True. Since Amazon is placing warehouses in all kinds of places, they will charge you the sales tax if you live in that same area. Also, I just filed my own taxes and the State of Wisconsin asks for any items purchased online or from another state. If I drive to Illinois to buy something, I have to pay tax in Wisconsin.

Lindberg had some of it, so I guess Round2 does. Union and Testor's had tooling as well.

UPI does those fancy chrome goodies for big rigs and tools for all kinds of areas. Hong Kong based.

It probably will be the same as the older issues.

Coming along nicely.

That just looks wrong, like someone used a Palmer, or something from a toy, grille in a different company's kit. The hood edge does not even rest on the grille right.

did you calculate the time zone? We are Central time here, two hours earlier than you on the west coast. You would tune in at 7AM to get it. The station is a small Christian station that has ethnic music programs on Saturdays and Wisconsin Hotrod Radio is on in the middle of all that at 9AM Central time. They archive shows so you can listen to any of them in the queue. Today's show is not archived yet but will be during the week.

That Monkey Ward version was just..........no! Probably designed by monkeys.

Ed will be on between 9 and 10 today at Wisconsin Hot Rod Radio http://www.wisconsinhotrodradio.com/ Go to web site thenm click on to listen here live button. Time is now.

i don't think whitewalls were such a big deal in Europe as they were in the USA.

Thanks for the link. Interesting synopsis of Japanese car cultures. I was aware of the TV series the car is from, but you can see where my assumption was made.

Someone you know may be employed in the electronics industry as an assembler. i get most of my braided line and wires from my job. Just gotta ask permission from the Boss before I take.

Forgive me for not being as intelligent as you.

Mopar had a really subdued metallic tan in those years. I liked it.

I think they might because I recently paid stupid money for one of the 66s

Cute little car there, Ray.

Indeed they are. You should give Sports & Exotics a read. Very nice cars in there from the exotic Italian stuff to the more mundane things like miatas. But all good.

Go do well at the new job, retire early, open hobby shop.

I too have subscribed form day 1. I totally enjoy all of Hemming's magazines. I've subscribed to the three titles since their inception. I also have C&D and R&T, but those are never read cover to cover, word by word as the Hemming's are.

You think that is where Bozosoku cars got their start?

I was mentioning what was in Purple Power, or Super Clean and to look for something equivalent in his country. They do not sell Super Clean or Purple Power in Great Britain. Also Super Clean is no longer made by Castrol, it is made by some other company now. Still great stuff.

Why not? The trailer probably isn't made to scale based on an actual brand. Trailers can and are sometimes custom made to fit the individual's needs.
