  1. Indeed it does. In fact, I think the Excalibur (a Studebaker product, believe it or not) was the first neo classic.
  2. It continues in Japan, where 'Dajiban' Dodge Ram Vans are being built... and even raced in autocross type events! http://omgpancakes.w.../01/12/dajiban/ And I've got a Hasegawa VW bus that might end up looking pretty close to that sweet machine in the above post. Maybe I'll do a Dajiban style VW?
  3. Here's one I've been working on given my longtime fascination with diesel-powered rats. Still a WIP, it's an IH V-800 turbodiesel from an IH Transtar and a '50 Ford cab on a modified Lil Mixer frame. At the rate I'm going with it, it'll be done around mid 2015.
  4. That frame is sweet- It would almost be a shame to cover it up with a body!
  5. One of my favorite recent development, what's being called the 'truckster' (though the name is disputed on closed-cab trucks, I've heard them reffered to as 'cabsters'). Basically, it's a hot rod built around a late '30's-up truck cab.
  6. Rob brought up mini trucks, and of course the guys with rat-rod tenedencies have gotten hold of a few mini-trucks as well.
  7. Interior bits and T-Buckets. Once again, Mr. Myers delivers!
  8. Another clue with the glass- very few modelers bother with the gaskets around the glass, and if they do, rarely get it to look right.
  9. And I'd like to expand on the 'van' issue....
  10. Street Freaks and street driven 'axle' cars, anyone? Yeah, a few too many Chevys, I know.
  11. One of the members here, shucky, does some really cool resin turbos.
  12. Are trucks ok? when they're this good, yes. Yes they are.
  13. Oh, and I guess I could add- even though the kit is supposed to be a 1-ton, the 4x4 front axle has coil springs, when a '79 F-350 would have had parallel leaves. It would be correct for an F-100 or F-150 though.
  14. The tubs don't look too wide, looks like about half what you see in the pic will be covered up by the inner wall of the bed. You still might be able to stuff a pretty good sized tire in there.
  15. The background might be okay if you did a blackwash on the raw parts to highlight the details. But in any case, some pretty cool stuff on your site!
  16. Curt- found a guy who might be holding a few- you have a PM.
  17. ^ See? He could have chosen from many other less-savory quotes from that flick!
  18. THAT is the most common issue I see. I have no problem with people disagreeing or offering constructive criticism, but some people just do not have a grip on wording things properly... and that includes me!
  19. Keep yer wagons guys... I'm doing one as a panel.
  20. Not soon enough, though!
  21. Has a pack of Marlboros and a Zippo lighter too. Nice filler stuff for a diorama.
  22. What he said. The Model King reissue is based on the Super Stones issue (the instructions still have the logo), and the 2wd parts are there, but not called out on the instructions.
