  1. Chassis and body by JGR, engines by TRD (same as Gibbs) pit crew and tech team provided by JGR.....but yes.....very independent. Sorry I saw this coming after Toyota did little in the first part of the season. Then made noise like they would leave NASCAR Cup.....got a Toyota only aero change at Talledega.....started winning. Mark my word....2019 we get a new make in Cup (MB)) and Toyota does like Dodge did years ago.....then leave. After working in NASCAR for over 20 years it is ENTERTAINMENT not a sport.....know that and enjoy what it is. Just sayin....
  2. I held a GoodYear license at one time. I can't disclose the details but it was a reasonable deal. We made GoodYear dry transfers for NASCAR and other types model tires. That license went well for years......everyone playing nice. Then those in charge at GoodYear changed and licensing went from trademark protection and legal liability protection to a 'Profit Center'. For us the license fee went way up and was one reason we shut down. Draw your own conclusion from my story.....but as I was doing some freelance work for Revell at the time....I know what happened......
  3. There is a teardrop trailer too....I have all of them....very nice for the money. Do wish we could get a plastic kit but these will do.
  4. My version built years ago inspired by a Robert Williams painting.....
  5. ebay 'completed auctions' sold price is the current value........
  6. I've built all the RM 1/48 bombers. Yours look GREAT! I built the B-24 when it came out many moons ago. It was a favorite of mine....then my cat jumped on it and the wings folded up just like the real plane!!! Here is a 1970's era photo of it before.....
  7. WOW....I really like that! And the use of a kit not normally thought of is great!
  8. Here is the building....it goes down a level or two from street level....inside ia a HUGE elevator that moved Packards floor to floor.......the SMART I bought there didn't take up a quarter of it!!!!
  9. Somewhat informed guess.....will not happen....
  10. I really like your building. Reminds me of Bobby Rahal MB in Pittsburg Pa.....a multi story auto dealer that was a Packard dealer once.
  11. I had a little input on the Nova and long time ago....glad to see it will come to kit form at last!!! Now.....if the other car I had some input on will happen.........THEN I'll really be happy.
  12. One reason I visited the Peterson in 2016......I had to see the Aztek....and a few other cars!!!
  13. That fire wall looks more real than my 1/1 46 Ford!!!!
  14. My favorite......super clean building!!!! Glad I picked up 2 when Pllies had them!
  15. My wife had a 84 Topaz........Awful car....low point for Ford.....but make a kit...I'll buy one!!!

  22. I forgot to say how nice that dash is!!!!
  23. Great work!! I told Ed Sexton that this kit would be used to build many different vehicles other than S&H. My spin..... Bill Elliott first Cup ride......
