  1. A shame this kit's $50 (or likely close) I'd just love a set of those hubcaps.
  2. Builds like this make me miss the '87 I had.
  3. Sleepers can have Cragars, too! For all anybody needs to know it's grandma's inline six/automatic for the powertrain, right? I wont' gripe no matter which rollers she gets.
  4. Wow. Hate to hear that Harold. And until just now I was thinking I was having a suck year. If I can help out in any way, you know how to get a hold of me.
  5. Hubley also had '60 and '62 Ford wagons as well, Dennis Doty did a column on them in MCM not too long ago. I think somebody was casting those in resin a while back- not sure who or if they're still available.
  6. If Revell does it, even if it is based on an existing tool (likely), it WILL sell... why do you think Revell has so many '32 Ford variants now? It looks like a potential kit of this would have quite a few cool parts on it, IF Revell does it right. That alone would sell quite a few.
  7. Wow. Workable, but a bit rough! Sort of reminds me of a Berretta glue bomb I bought years ago, which had obviously been built by a young kid. Looked like the engine had been 'welded' together with a cigarette lighter! Takes a LOT of tube glue to melt an assembled engine block, but it happened.
  8. What could be better than a type 2 pickup? One that's been weathered, loaded down with cool accessories, and set in a cool diorama background! very nice indeed.
  9. Had the time to soak it in the last few hours (it's been hectic)- really digging the George Trosley interview, loved Dennis Doty's story on the Metro and Dauphine (really want both those kits!), and the show coverage. Not saying the rest sucked, those are just what popped into my head first! And I really want one of those Replicas and Miniatures Buick 8 engines now!
  10. In the Vee Dub? Nah- that's the Beetle pancake four, up front and hooked up to a conventional trans. ( I blame this one soley on 'VW Dave' and the front engined Model T "V Bucket" hot rod he built a few years back.)
  11. Got this strange little gem in a trade with Dave 'Double D' If you've seen any of JB Welda's build from this kit, I think you might know what lies ahead for it.
  12. I know you'll like a particular builder profile featured in it...
  13. I refuse to get a cell phone as well- I already have this really neat thing called 'electronic mail'!
  14. I've heard of guys using Wilton's baking foil for underhood insulation as well. I just use packs from my empty Marlboro boxes. Yeah, I know, I know... but at least I'm getting some return out of my habit.
  15. Yeah- sounds about right. Testors decal backer is about as good as 95% of their spray enamels. And I don't mean that in a positive way.
  16. I moved out of Kansas, found myself in Oz... boom, here we are, color montior!
  17. Check the color settings on your monitor before you make such a bold claim, Mr. Man!
  18. Gawd, I know, right! Oh, Ken, one other disadvantage to the Jo-Han- after you've gone through the motions just to nab one, you'll still need a better donor kit to use for pretty much everything but the body!
  19. Actually tried out the El Camino camper on it earlier today- might work if I cut about 1/2" from where it fits against the tailgate. But I don't think I'll go that route this time.
