I also have a '79 Flareside shorty 2wd built from the Model King reissue- don't have any pics though. But here are a few of mine-

'34 Ford RPU

'40 Willys '61 Plymouth Fury '57 Chevy Flatbed Beater '46 IH Pickup '63 VW

The Hummer Apocalypse Rat Rod- the first post-Apocalyptic model I have finished. '32 Ford Coupe, powered and 'nosed' by Hudson. '53 Ford Hardtop Custom '49 Merc Beater '62 Lincoln Continental

It happens- don't worry about it!

I don't see a '39 Chevy... I do see a '37 Ford. That, and she might just be a litte too nice for the junkyard. Looks like a great resto project to me!

Yes- I do! This also uses the front clip/engine/and rollers from the '79 Pro Street Super Bee kit, and I built this one before the lowered one above- The front fenderwells are cut out completely on this one.

I like it- but I'd like it even more if it had the '39 Standard front end!

Sounds a little bit like the idea behind that MkVII I've got going on the Fox community build. (Which, by the way, looks exactly as it did the last time anybody saw it. ) Can't wait to see what you have in store for it! Talked about my '08 Bullitt earlier- if the snow isn't too deep this morning, maybe I'll venture outside and snap some decent pics of it.

Yes. Can't say I'm a dune buggy fanatic, but I do like the Manx, and ANYTHING related to a VW Beetle is fantastic with me. Bet on me buying a couple.

Welcome aboard. Need more Michiganites here! (Note- Michiganian and Michigander are both wrong. )

My '08 Bullet has SEM Dark Highland Green (had a can of it mixed up at the local Car Quest) and it was applied over black Duplicolor primer- the resulting shade looks very close to the 1:1... I'm not sure if they used black or dark gray primer on the 1:1 though.

No. More like 'great'. My only misgiving about the Aerosedan and Sedan Delivery is they aren't Fords. (Right, Mike? )

None at the moment.

Guys, I think he was joking! Unclench a tad, will ya?

Here is one I built years ago- I did have to take off the heater box/blower motor, and cut out the dip in the passenger's side wheelwell for it. I used some old AMT Rides Magazine wheels/tires, and this is about as low as it will sit on big-inch tires without cutting the fenders.

Mostly just because I have a spare '08 Bullitt grille, and I've already cut it down to fit.

Just my own personal opinion here (coming from a Ford guy who occasionaly dabbles in GM vehicles of the Rocket persuasion), but I don't see how a late '80's Olds G-Body could NOT be at least a decent seller. The kit itself was a donk, but dig out some AMT Olds Rallye wheels and some stock suspension pieces from an AMT ot MPC Monte Carlo/El Camino, and you'd have a pretty nice stocker... or swap on some wheels of your own for a custom or street machine variant. Drag racers love these... pretty much any weekend meet you go to has at least a couple Cutlasses (unless it's an all-Mustang, etc. event or something like that). Flip through a copy of Lowrider? Yep, loaded with Cutlasses of this vintage. They're popular with circle-track guys as well. And with a little bit of backdating, one could make a model of the very striking 1983 15th anniversary Hurst/Olds 4-4-2. And those are just the possiblilities I can think of... I'm sure there are plenty more!

I read Wayne Moyer's column in the mag regularly, and though he reviews all different scales of models, I have to say the well-done 1:43 models are very impressive. Many of them boast photo-etched trim and grilles and detailed interiors. Things like that are more or less expected on larger scale replicas, but they look even more eye-popping on the 1:43 scale cars. I have to say one of the few reasons I don't collect too many 1:43 replicas is cost- many can be around a bill or so to purchase, that and most of the ones I like already come assembled... where's the fun in that?

Tell you what- I'll at least wait until you've started on it, picked a color, etc. until I start one. Then at least there will be two different interpretations of a '10 Mach 1.... when/if either of us ever starts/finishes ours.

You mean this one? http://www.ak-interactive-usa.com/product-akcrankybook.html

You are right- I just wanted to mix it up a bit and try to work in a little bit of the '01 style and some of the late '60's elements. The thought of a '10 Mach 1 never even occured to me, and a shaker would be a must there! I never really understood why Ford put the scoop on the '01 car, when the original did not have a scoop, but I'm still considering a scoop for my rendition. (Oh- and don't worry- I'm not going to steal your '10 Mach 1 idea... I'll wait to build mine until yours is done. )

I'm working on a '78-80 version (very slowly) using the MPC '78 Monte Carlo as a base, and there has been interest in that one being cast. I'd be all for an '81-88 version as well, so much so the conversion after that will cover that body style. But I do hope someone beats me to it.

Good to see an old SJS piece built up. Love the Go-Kart, too.

I may have... cough, cough... one or two that fit that description...
