I once bought a sealed '53 Ford F-100 which had the chrome sprue from an AMT '64 Impala kit instead of the correct sprue, and another time I bought a '53 Studebaker which was also sealed, but upon opening it I found an extra set of tires... with a set of Torque Thrust wheels (looked to be the ones from the AMT '69 Olds 4-4-2) inserted into them! I suppose stuff like this happens quite a bit, but I've never had anything like the body completely missing.

I think Drag City Resin Casters does a '35 Ford Truck grille, but you'd have to modify a Revell '37 cab (as has already been pointed out). Not impossible, but a little massaging should do wonders!

Note to self... stop at yard sales.

Yeah, I could dig that!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... what makes you think I can read? Have I ever once let on that I'm litrite?

Just the house, eh? I'm cool wit that. (Everybody But Harry read this.... I rent. )

Love it! Funny, I think this is the first one I've ever actually seen built up aside from the one on the box art!

Ha! The 'Real or Model' maven has been sacked!!!! (By the way, I thought it was a model, too. )

Some references for those who wish to cobble up some tracks...

Must be lots of old geezers in China!

Around 12 bucks, I've heard! Guess where I'll be heading in the not too distant future!

Jairus, did you ever do a front view of the silver '62 T-Bird with the Pontiac Banshee roof from Plastic Fanatic? I've seen the rendering a few times, and I keep telling myself I should build it!

Sorry. Several hundred. Of each. Why? Because I have absolutely nothing to do or think about.

I'm still bummed over the loss of the Scott Sociable, Church Pneumatic, and Reliant Robin...

I'll be buying several dozen of these.

What about a '59 Merc upside down?

Crusty old Goat! I digz it!

I've noticed cars taking truck styling cues, too. Years ago, it was the other way around. Now Dodge cars have the cross-bar grille like the Ram pickups (well, Challenger excluded), Chevy cars have the truck-hand-me-down fat chrome bar with giant gold Bow Tie (except for the 'Vette and Camaro), and, well, Ford cars and trucks both have those ridiculous chrome grins(except the Mustang), but I'm not sure which line had that first. I mean, was there a consumer study somewhere that said people wanted to buy cars that looked like trucks?

L-O-V-E I-T!!!!

I kind of chuckled at the 'Trail Rated' thing, too, but it's not as awful as GM sticking that little chrome GM badge to the doors of everything it sells. For what? In case you think your Avalanche was build by Smart? Then again, Chrysler did the same thing in the '60's and '70's. (Then they wonder why there's no longer any such thing as 'brand identity', or whatever the marketing gurus are calling it these days.)

Ah... surprised I was even THAT close to being right!

Quite a bit I'm NOT interested in, but the stuff I WILL BE BUYINGoffsets that. If Revell reissues the Jeep J-10 this year, and when AMT finally brings out some of it's announced but still unavailable kits, I'll be very happy indeed!
