  1. Got this beauty in a trade with a fellow MCM member , even the box is near mint condition
  2. Joseph....I am your Father
  3. Maybe someone should explain to the advertising agencies that this is a model car site and that car modelers are inherently cheap skates ...if we can't use a 40% coupon we aren't interested
  4. The tail lights look fantastic , Erik
  5. Give Burbank's House of Hobbies a call , they sell on eBay and take phone orders
  6. That's sad.... I was rooting for him to recover
  7. Right or wrong , I like to think of "Grannies" Dodge as a '63 http://www.moparsbymosher.com/projects/garys63/progress/001-x2.htm
  8. I'm surprised there isnt a resin copy of the turtle top from this kit , or I havnt seen one . Here's a picture of a 1974 Dodge I had
  9. In the late 60's I went on a school field trip to Kelloggs in Battle Creek , Michigan . They took us on tour of the whole operation from beginning to end . At the end of the tour every kid got a 12 box variety pack , those were the little box's that could double as a bowl .
  10. Post~ Banana Nut whole milk and a spoon of sugar
  11. Forget Coronavirus , Couldn't that guy get some sort of hepatitis licking a toilet ?
  12. Hi Geoff, I've been watching your build from the start . I have never seen one of these vehicles close up myself so I have to rely on google images . But the spare tire on the bonnet looks better to my eye. Here is what I have so far , other than the pie pan and rubber bumper cushions the tire sits on-once the tire is in place one wouldn't see much of the pie pan or rubber cushions (?) the two red dots are the locating pins on the bottom side of the spare tire/wheel I hope all is well for you and you get back to this project when you can .
  13. That is not a Hemi As Steve mentioned , that is a 'Poly' engine ( Polyspherical head)
  14. Oh NO !!! It's a red car (LOL)
  15. So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign.... If we have to be in self quarantine , I don't want any riff raff knocking
  16. For anyone interested , google Burbank's House of Hobbies , click on the pictures and take the virtual tour . A little more~ well deserved praise on Glenn and his operation : I received that smashed box around 2 pm on a Thursday (E.S.T) which made it 11 am in California . Within an hour I received an email saying a package has been sent out from them . By 11 am Saturday morning I had mint replacement kit in my hand, less than 48 hours-that kind of customer service is outstanding !
  17. I have dealt with Burbanks House of Hobbies for 10 years now, 2 weeks ago i received this Land Rover kit. 2 minutes after opening the box I called Burbank -NO fuss...he sent me another kit and told me to keep the smashed one as it would cost more than it was worth to send it back.
  18. Do you think shows like The Walking Dead are for entertainment purposes only ? Those are more educational programs for the near future Rule #1 in Zombieland~ Cardio....the fatties go first
  19. Here's a couple of my favorites, I got this from my dad - Ford Motor Company had it printed for the 50th anniversary in 1953 Custom Cars from 1951 One of my all time favorites i got in High School auto shop class , a collaboration between Disney and General Motors....good 'Ol Primative Pete
  20. The AMT 'Ohio George' 1960 Ford Falcon Ranchero has a nice set of 13" steel wheels with dog dish hub caps-the tires have white walls but those can be cleaned off
  21. That is really nice, You did a fantastic job !!! It reminds me of the Jeep Terry Thomas drove in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
  22. I've always been a Gram Parsons fan and like the Flying Burrito Brothers version but this song belongs to Dave Duddley~ Uncut and uncensored
  23. AMT did a 1960 Corvair 4 door AMT/SMP did a 1960 Valiant 4 door
  24. Those are Hurst Dazzler wheels
