  1. This just looks like an April Fools Day joke.
  2. A really cool build up with this chassis is to use it as an early 70's street rod with either a T or Bantam body. Of course if you really want a challenge morph this body with the Revell Vega to make a Wonder Wagon. Doable, great result but a heck of a challenge.
  3. And you doubted me?
  4. Anyone have a source for a left hand drive?
  5. I've got several of these. They're a challenge.
  6. The decals shown are from Indycals. Top drawer quality.
  7. Take the JoHan chassis and soak it in brake fluid for a week. Then get the AMT '67 Mustang chassis. Very close to the same chassis as the Maverick but a whole lot more detail.
  8. I remember when this body first came out there was a lot of discussion that the body had areas of inaccuracy. There were posts on how to fix the body on the old SLM website. Any insights on how to correct this? THANKS!
  9. I'm not sure if this is a move that will make things cheaper for teams or whether it will harm the little teams even more as their current inventory becomes obsolete.
  10. Another month......more money saved for the after market.
  11. What article and magazine?
  12. I have a Sherline so I do have the equipment. I wasn't sure about if it was done cnc or not. I'm guessing you drew it out and simply set the start and end points and made the cut. I've made a few brass chassis before and getting the sides even is nearly impossible. That's a project I need to try. Final question and/or, I'm guessing Harrisburg, PA. I hope you'll post shows you're exhibiting at.
  13. So much to learn here. When you did the frame templates, did you free hand them? What material are they in (looks like particle board) and what type or mill bit. Also, did you adjust the pattern for the different size tubes? This is SOOOOOO killer. Finally what Harrisburg?
  14. If only they'd correct MPC's dragster bodies. The two Garlits kits bodies look two sizes too big.
  15. This model would look great on my shelf. Absolutely beautiful build.
  16. Was this built from the original AMT Flyin' wedge or the Prudhomme wedge? They don't share the same bodies.
  17. Palmer returns as a manufacturer and releases a '34 Ford. You heard it first from me.
  18. I see an order in my future.
  19. I like what I see. Can you post a side view?
  20. Strange as it seems four hole mag wheels were not totally unheard of in the 60's.
  21. I'm finally at a point where I can start attending shows with some regularity since the kids have headed off to college. I'm curious as to how to find shows now. It used to be pretty easy, look in the other magazine for upcoming events but that doesn't seem that effective. Any good listings for upcoming events?
  22. The Firestone 500s will be interesting to see. I hope they're big enough for early pro stocks. If so, I'll be buying those. The other kits look like Ollie's fodder.
  23. In one of our conversations he said it would be out in the fall. Then went on to say he didn't know what year.
