  1. A scale kit of a Suburban. That only took, what, 81 years? On a serious note, I've already thought of a couple of things I could do with it...
  2. The Monogram F250 and F350 have a 460, it is an '87-'91 style with EFI but it could be backdated to an earlier type fairly easily. It is 1:24 scale. In 1:25, the Revell '69 Torino Cobra has about the best 385-series big block ever made in kit form. I would go with the one from the Torino. If I'm not misaken, Calnaga castings does a pretty nice Lima 385- they list it as a 429 but the 429 and 460 were essentially the same engine.
  3. Buzzkills. Buzzkills everywhere....
  4. Hate it when I go to a car show and end up buying a condo...
  5. Tim's latest- a '66 Reo with scratchbuilt gravel trailers. The cab started as a Diamond T, and Tim modified the grille to the REO unit.
  6. Beautiful.
  7. P&P Resin Works had one at one time, not sure if they're still casting it though.
  8. Thanks guys, the actual color is Model Master acrylic Earth Flat- it does look awfully close to the bland earth tones that were available on cars like these.
  9. Love it! The wheels from the ALF look great on so many other projects. The entire conversion is fantastic!
  10. "Uuuuugggghhhhhh.... it's not fastback with Torq-Thrusts! Uuuuuggggghhhhhh... those wheels! Uuuuuggggghhhhhh.... that BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH is for rice rockets. Uuuuggggghhhhh... why can't it still be the '60's. Uuuuuuggggghhhhhh..... I forgot to pick up my Geritol and Delcolax when I was at Walgreen's AND NOW I'M IRRITABLE AND I HATE EVERYTHING MODERN!!!!!1!!!! And while I'm glad you're wearing your hat the right way, LEARN TO ROLL THE FRIGGIN' BILL!!!!" On a more serious note, yeah, the graphics are a bit much, but I'm guessing that's the whole idea.
  11. Beats another LS swap.
  12. Absolutely love it. I really hope the molds for this one are stashed away in some deep dark corner somewhere, waiting to be stumbled upon by the Kats at AMT.
  13. Caramel flavored, too.
  14. The TL;DR version- it's the Fuzz Duster with the Deora slant six, MPC Dodge van wheel covers, blackwall tires, and a hearing-aid beige paint job.
  15. Nice! That Honda green wouldn't happen to be called Hampstead, would it? I ask because I have some of that I'm using on a Pete 359 dump.
  16. I think it would look pretty good hooked up to an Escitaleri Ford Transit with an Austin Mini autocross racer parked on it. But maybe that's just me.
  17. Going the straight six route with mine as well- I used the engine from the MPC Deora. Yes, I know the alternator is on the wrong side for this application, but this is a junkyard beater, and I've seen stranger things done to old cars than having the alternator flip-flopped! And this is just a personal thing, but having the alternator on the opposite side of the battery and starter never made much sense to me anyway.
  18. I like it- kinda looks angry.
  19. Nice! Love how the Diamond Green looks with the flat clear and white scallops.
  20. Plugged a Deora Slant Six into the '80 Plymouth Volare- still some work to do, but it's mostly roughed in. And yes, I know the alternator is on the wrong side for this year/car, but it's a cobbled up junkyard beater, so I'm letting myself have a little wiggle room.
  21. Yep, that'll work alright.
  22. From what I'm told I think the few 360s that made it to Michigan had all rusted away by 1975 or therabouts.
  23. Very cool! Is that the old Ron Cash body?
