  1. I wouldn't recommend stuffing a small block V8 in one, unless you're into the idea of spending several hours test fitting, trimming, test fitting, trimming, etc. .
  2. Nice! Just needs a blue '70 Mustang to display on the back.
  3. Largest mass-produced unibody car in history. Wonderful job on this one!
  4. Worst thing we ever did was move a buddy's Honda Civic to different areas of the parking lot... by physically picking it up and moving it. Four, maybe six big dudes can easily pick up an old Civic and move it. I hear it was a pretty common prank in the '60's, only Beetles were the cars being carried then.
  5. I got pulled over by a cop this morning. The cop said "Papers". So I said "Scissors! I win!" And drove off.
  6. Bill's right- Decoma made those boxes. Fleetwest produced something similar. A company called Caseco offers a similar body, also called a MidBox.
  7. Those were manufactured by a company called Fleetwest- they called it a MidBox.
  8. Full custom job- built by a guy named Steve Farkaly. Here's his site- http://www.uncommonengineering.com/
  9. If you have an AMT semi tractor or trailer laying around and you just need straight boots, the vinyl tubing included in those kits works pretty well as boot material. Just cut it to the length you need with a good, sharp #11 blade.
  10. Piecing together things from the interviews I've seen and read, I'm not sure if the remaining band members are too keen on the idea of letting Phil back, though.
  11. Lovely model of my second favorite Morgan. (The three-wheeler is #1 if you're curious.)
  12. Sort of off-topic regarding availability of a Futureliner in scale, but I stumbled across this a few minutes ago, so I guess I'll just put it here... http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2014/11/19/futurliner-no-10-to-go-on-national-historic-vehicle-register-finds-permanent-home/
  13. As if I didn't already want a few of these badly enough already. Looks great!
  14. Thanks guys. The wrecker boom itself is made out of Plastruct strip- the winch and strap came from the Revell GMC wrecker.
  15. Nice! I restored a '62 kit a few years back- I'd love to dig up another one.
  16. You should be able to slip the brace up under the radiator- if you look there should be a "step" in the radiator to fit it. The only way I could see it not fitting is if you installed the grille shell to the radiator before attaching the fenders.
  17. The idea here was an old service truck, which was no longer used to tow customer cars or plow driveways, but is now used by the semi-retired shop owner to clear his property of snow and move around the various hulks he's accumulated over the years. So of course it looks a little haggard, but like most old yard trucks, still fires up and does its job without complaint despite looking like Hell warmed over. The Hillard name on the side is a nod to Irv Hillard, who owned a legendary salvage yard which only recently closed after almost sixty years of business.
  18. I'm thinking they ought to give Chris Slade a call...
  19. And yes, before you Commander Buzzkills out there chime in that not all Lindberg kits are junk... yes, you are right, there are actually some pretty good Lindberg kits in existence, but I just couldn't resist.
  20. Perfect!
