  1. Suppose my favorite necktie is snakeskin?
  2. Nice! Especially love the car hauler, and all the trucks loaded onto it.
  3. Love all of them, but I have to say I keep going back to this one-
  4. Best use of this kit I've seen in a good long time.
  5. I can live with molded wipers and door handles- scripts (especially very faintly-engraved ones) are what bother me. I like the idea of supplying them as photoetch pieces, or perhaps as a rub-on metal transfer, which might be a bit more user friendly compared to PE. Probably a bit more costly as well, now that I think of it.
  6. Awesome! Another Matador. I'm voting for wheel choice #1.
  7. Painted red it would look like the one that tried to kill Lisa Simpson.
  8. I will add one other thing- aside from the too-wide axle, if you aren't careful attaching the side steps, they'll contact the tires.
  9. Awesome! I kept hearing Adam Sandler's Buffoon character saying "I got a snake, mang!" the whole time I was looking at the photos.
  10. Like them all, but love that '61. First time I've seen the kit's custom front end actually put to use.
  11. Nice! Haven't seen the 1906 Mauritania kit before now.
  12. Yes! The murder took place in 1978, but somehow the vicitim is drove a Dodge Shadow. Or something along those lines. If you watch the Blair Witch Project, and still believe it's real, if you look carefully you'll see a '97/8 Ford F-150 in the background in one shot, even though the footage was supposedly shot in 1994.
  13. Nice! Most of the local guys build these modifieds as dirt-trackers, so seeing one with slicks and a clean finish is refreshing for me.
  14. Nice! And hey, for some folks, six months is a quick build!
  15. 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.
  16. 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!
  17. 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.
  18. 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!
  19. 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.
  20. Regarding box size... pull out the folded cardboard compartment walls and you'll find this at the bottom of the box-
  21. Reminds me of one of yours- rust, watch parts, and all.
  22. I still recognize some pieces of it. Keep working!
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
