  1. Forgot to add that.....I would just remove the 'bar' at the bottom between the two shocks and mount each shock to the lower control arm.
  2. Original issue was in orange/red plastic. Reissue of 'Baja Beast', same kit, was yellow plastic.
  3. Me too.......3 Paddy Wagon kits for figures!!
  4. I'll take 2 Joker/Cop car....I like the kit and want the figures!
  5. I do a number of Datsun decals.....and a number of PLN decals. I did a repro of the PLN Airfix kit decals....not sure weather I still have any in stock. Can check if anyone needs some. Allison 510
  6. Nice work on Grim .....but I see a nice station and switch tower too!!! Along with Grim's chopper he rides this from time to time.....
  7. Very nice work....love the cat!!!
  8. DW is correct...Bud Moore was the leader in small block development. I used a engine from a 1990's era AMT Thunderbird kit.
  9. BINGGO! Why else are there a number of companies that 'work to recover your tooling and molds'.
  10. I'd agree for sure if it was politics....but this comes from many different sources and business journals.....it ain't rumor.
  11. A analyst on the Sunday morning news shows talked a good bit about how China operates with forgiven investors. Just by chance the analyst reminded the panel that tooling made in China is 51% owned by the Chinese government. It can become a issue very fast.
  12. 80's era Ford Thunderbird kits...I trim the springs and this lowers car. 80's era GM kits do not have springs rather solid posts. I find they need very little trimming to get good stance.
  13. I really have no info myself......but I trust those that told me it will work out OK. ??? My guess? Really reaching here......but $10M in biz world is not much....maybe a employee led group buying it???
  14. Lots of reasons...... BIN does not sell but relisted at lower price....ebay e-mails you if it happens. BIN price higher than you want to pay.....so you watch, see if another is listed cheaper. But buy this one if not. BIN price to high.....watch in hope seller lowers price...seen it and bought. etc..etc
  15. Those that know say it will work out well for the hobby....but no one is willing to say what/why yet....
  16. To be 100% honest that was $600 in Jan 1975!!! But still....a lot of car for $600 even 1975. The photo is a recent resto we are doing. 1975....
  17. My '32 a model of the hero car from movie 'Hot Rod'.......Monogram 32 fendered kit.
  18. Check out the sewing area of the craft store....they sell chrome thread great for fuel and oil lines.
  19. As long as it comes to be and is a good kit...I will too!!!!! But....ETA was March 1, then end of March, April, May and now end of June....maybe. Having worked in kit development I figured their ETA was VERY optimistic.
  20. Been talked about at depth in other posts. Kit was announced in Jan IIRC
  21. Anything created in China is a issue. Not a China hater but if you read up on their policies around items made there (molds) it is very scary.
  22. Looks cool....want one....but almost $2k!!!!!
