  1. Very nice work on a kit often ignored.
  2. OK.... IF....IF you have read all the posts in this thread you will find in the first post by Mr Boyd about ownership statement for the Jo-Han model car brand. Three people are named as the new owners. Then during Steve Magnate video he states 'Okey Spalding, owner of Jo-Han Models'........ BOTH can not be true at the same time. So I am not stirring up dram or useless BS. Trying to inform that if this topic is or interest you can search just a little and learn what is going on. One of the new owners, Jack Higgins, is a personal friend so I am not going to TELL people some info I know behind the curtain. Ask Tim Boyd, Steve Goldman etc if they sometimes have info they can't post but might be out there if you look around. Sorry if I confused any of you. Thanks
  3. I'd like to 'tell all' but I don't have lawyer money. If you want you can dig around on the net and find most of the drama surrounding Jo-Han right now.
  4. I like Steve but has some info incorrect ..........I'll leave it there................
  5. Here is Ron's Granada...it was yellow. I may need to do this one now we have a body!!! Thanks
  6. I really like this project! A Granada race car is pretty rare......are you building someone or freelance?? In 1978 I bought a new Ford Fairmont from Young Ford in Charlotte, NC. My salesman was Ron Granna a retired NASCAR drive.....who by chance drove a Granada in Sportsman class.....what is now Xfinity. Thanks
  7. Great work!! Looks like the big one exactly!! I did a 1/25 w/o body mods. I am bias as I built the 1/12 kit when it was new!! One of my all time favorite kits!!
  8. Revell did a pop top camper, ambulance and the regular window. All easy to do without major tool changes. Doubt they will cut a new body but you never know today. If a HIT TV show has a crew cab....maybe!
  9. Last time I applied for a job was around 1982 so if they found my resume it was in a old desk!!! I ignore all media NOT coming from my contact list. Thx
  10. Might say what year...........they did two 85-6 and 88-9. 1986 version
  11. I started one of these as soon as the flat nose kit came out. REALLY messed up the paint and put it in a box. CONGRATS on a great build! Lone the show and love movie TV cars! I did finish Walt's 300 and the 72 Thunderbird of Pete's.
  12. I can see you are running out of space to store ZZR kits....I have room available FYI............ Nice set up BTW Just reworked my space...
  13. Waiting on some parts and for a weekend my son can come over to help. So I am doing things I can do......and that are free!!!! Pulled the Recao seats out, cleaned, removed tracks, painted and oiled. Had to make the connector for the seat sliders as it was missing. Been told the seats are worth almost what we paid for the car. Driver seat had one hogs ring missing so I fixed that. Otherwise about perfect. Not bad for a 1979 seat!!! Thanks
  14. X 2.......Nice work!! I know most don't like it but I love the Revell 1/32 kit.....BIG Phantom!
  15. Fantastic product.......I buy when he's at shows....
  16. I was there day one show one at Charlottetown mall theater. My brother and I went back the next day again. I built this not long after using only photos in movie program and small photo in Starlog mag. So it has some in-accuracy issues. But I still like it and it lives in my living room today! A balsa frame covered with Matt then sheet plastic and junk box parts.
  17. This one?? Chassis looks black. We had a good thread on Randy's NASCAR forum before it was taken down and deleted.
  18. Right now Jimmy Flinstone has them. JoHan should be getting them too. Thx
