Chuck Most

I'm not so sure about the taillamp treatment on the '10, but overall I like the car's design. Not as much as I liked the '05-'08s, but it's still way less ugly and cheap looking than a '70 El Camino! (Sorry, couldn't resist...) Hey, at least they didn't style the '10 to look like the '71-'73 style- THAT car deserved the Mustang name even less than the Mustang II, which is STILL not even considered a 'true Mustang' (whatever that's supposed to mean) by the hardcore 'stang bangers. Think about it- the II was a lightweight, sporty car based on a cheapo econobox, just like the original 'Stang, and the '71-'73 was a fat, bloated barge that looked okay from the sides or back, but had that stupid brick of a nose on it. I have seen the '10 models out and about, but I think I'll still wait around and buy a used '08 Bullitt. Dammit, I wish Ford would stop bogarting Dark Highland Green and make it available on the 'lesser' Mustangs!

Never has one little sentence summed up GMs straits so well! Come on, they are American British Leyland! Although- Top Gear did prove that BL did build A good car... a brown '78 Austin Princess piloted by James 'Captain Slow' May!

Man- I'd lose that flippin' thing in the disaster area that passes for my model room so quickly...

Oh, yes... like the LaSalle unit, and the Ford pickup unit! Now THERE'S a pair of trannys that belong behind a Flatmotor! I have nothing against modern rods, or automatic trannys. I'd have just prefered a three-pedal Flattie for the '32! Maybe it's 'Left Foot Envy'... the last two vehicles I've owned have both been automatics, and I hate it! Tim- thanks for the info, and for proving, once again, indisputably, that you are the Gray Baskerville of the model car magazine world! (Now we just need to find the John Phillips, Jeff Koch, and Tom McCahill of the model mag world and all will be perfect.) And to Cdansie- awesome builds. My R.M.co.M. chassis (not if but when I finally buy one) may well end up under an AMT '29 A Roadster body... or possibly a Revell '29 Pickup. Or, wait, maybe a Lindberg '34 Ford pickup, done up as a '50's trad rod... oh, sheesh. Looks like I'll have to buy a pallet load of 'em!

Even though I am now, technically, a part-owner in GM, I will never buy one. You'd think I'd actually LIKE a product line that I own, but I sure don't! I'll stick with my FoMoCo's and Mopes, thankyouverymuch!

If I'm not mistaken- Replicas and Miniatures Co. Of Maryland makes a chassis for the Revell '32 kits that accepts the transverse spring front and rear suspensions from the '29 Model A pickup. I haven't seen one myself, but if past experience with Mr. Veber's product tells me anything, it should be a very nice piece indeed! Sure, you'll be down quite a bit of Model A pickup... what a great excuse to use the Revell '32 hot rod chassis under the leftover '29 Pickup parts and have yourself an up-to-date A-V8 pickup rod! I've often wondered why Revell did not include a stock-style 'buggy spring' setup with the new Tudor kit- it would have gone great with the flathead and wire wheels! And, man, a replica stocker version of any one of the Revell '32s (okay... Speedwagon exluded!) would be a real honey!! It also confounds me why they went with an automatic for the flattie- that was kind of a bummer for me, although I think this would only be the second auto lashed to a flathead that I can think of- the first being the Lindberg '53 Ford Hardtop/Droptop.

Uh... well? Does knowing (sort of) how to play the first few riffs of "Let's get it Up" by AC-DC count? If yes, I guess I could be considered a musician!

I can't wait to see what happens once they crack open the deepest, darkest corners of the old tooling vaults... how many once long-lost kits and widgets you guys think are lurking around in there? My mind races...

James... that was beautiful! Strolling through the forest, searching for wildberries, wrapped from head to toe in ace bandages over all those nasty claw wounds... the mental picture is priceless! Michigans' much the same way! Fun fact: Michigan is called the Wolverine State, yet there's never been any documented evidence of any large populations of wolverines ever being here! Plenty of bears, though.

Thats' what they called James Dean! Congrats, Nick- guess I'll need to investigate your product line!

... and along comes Captain Buzzkill, to eclipse the sun and rain on our parade! Yeah, Chucky, even I don't think there will ever be a bi-scale styrene kit of the Lone Star (just as there will never be a styrene kit of the D-series pickup upon which the Lonestar's styling was based, or a late '60's Travelall, or a first-gen A/B series Scout, or...), but I do feel pretty confident we'll at least see some resin transkits, or at lest some builder-adapted conversions. Then again, maybe it's time for a new semi tractor kit. Why not start with this one?

Dingo- I don't see why everybody's panties got all bunched up over this build- I think it's beautiful! Wonder if they hauled off the body of Fatty Arbuckle in such a vehicle...

I like Scouts, and I like model cars. Combine the two, and you have my attention. Nice job, Duke!

About flippin' time we got a scale DJ. Where is Terry Jesse.... I'll bet he'd be digging this little offering.

THIS THING COSTS EIGHTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!????

That Gunze kit is nicely done. Of course, you showed with a little love it's even better! Is that the Model Master Dodge copper color... what's it called... dark bronze?

Amen, bro! "Life is a game that no one wins." -The Bloodhound Gang

My sentiments exactly! Guess I'm not the only guy thinking of doing a Trabant gasser...

Very nice... maybe it's time for me to rip into that glue-bomb '84 GMC kit I have collecting dust in the storage shed.

Ah, yes, isn't it great to see the AMT (AND MPC!) lines back on track... and with a company that actually supports them?!

Uh... not mine!

Wha!? I never knew there was an "old" Revell Trabant! I do plan on getting one of the "new" ones, though. Don't know why it is, but I love those dull-looking, poorly-built Soviet poo-boxes.

Wow... just awesome. I particularly like the fadeaway fender job.
