  1. Nice! And hey, for some folks, six months is a quick build!
  2. Used to be car designs started out on paper. Somewhere down the line, it looks like they stopped drawing on the paper and just folding it to create the designs.
  3. Well, Plymouth did a concept called the Howler, which was a V8-powered Prowler pickup. Sounded like a good idea then, still seems like one now. Really dig this one!
  4. It's a simplified Mopar RB (383/440) if I recall correctly. The most recent reissue has engine air cleaner decals for a few different displacements. I don't think it's a 340, as the engine in this kit has a front-mounted distributor.
  5. I will say that I hated the lavender rockers upon first seeing them. Now? Well.... let's just say I've warmed up a bit to that. Easily the meanest Miata I've ever seen as far as the hardware and stance go. Now, get a Revell Miata and a 1:24 small block Ford V8 and do a Monster Miata!
  6. Just one minor detail- it can't be a 1980- the Cavalier's first model year was 1982. I have the same kit, it's being reworked into the Oldsmobile (Firenza) version.
  7. Regarding box size... pull out the folded cardboard compartment walls and you'll find this at the bottom of the box-
  8. Reminds me of one of yours- rust, watch parts, and all.
  9. I still recognize some pieces of it. Keep working!
  10. Yeah- the only non-Ford truck Frank had was the yellow GMC in the first post. The GMC letters off the front of the cab are still up on a pegboard panel somewhere.
  11. I have this same chart in a drawer near my workbench- the Flathead order has been corrected, and I've even added a few crudely-drawn diagrams for engines not shown on the chart.
  12. Even if it were only offered as a body and interior tub, I'd be interested. I have more than enough F-150 kits to use as donors, and cobbling up a 4wd front end shouldn't be a problem.
  13. Well... gimme a Bullet-nose coupe first... then we'll talk Golden Hawks.
  14. I also have it on good authority that the chassis/floor fit very nicely into the old JoHan '55/6 kit and promo bodies.
  15. I rescued a tattered old photo album from my childhood home not to long ago, and scanned a few of the photos. My great uncle owned a couple of businesses in the late '70's and early '80's- a general store and a stove/heating store, and operated a couple of trucks for each. Most of these photos are from 1979-1980.
  16. Well, finally went and did it- Not sure exactly what to do with this thing though- might just get things to fit together and build it mostly out of box, but I'm toying with a cut-down '66 Nova Pro Street kit chassis and a stupid-big V8 engine.
  17. Had no idea Pocher did semi kits. I'd love to build one of these, but sheesh, where would I keep it? I'd have to sell off a couple of my 1:1's and convert the garage to a model room!
  18. Nice! Love the 'built from spares' look you have going on with the body panels. The fact this one can do a bit more than just sit on a shelf is pretty cool, too.
  19. Yeah- sticker price of 376k, but from what I'm seeing, they're actually going for more like 400. Some guys will pay to play. Well, maybe not now that this video is going viral...
  20. Jonathan Frid. (That's him as Barnabas in my avatar.) Wonder if it had anything to do with that new Johnny Depp flick coming out...
