  1. Nice neat clean build......like it!
  2. Built a white page?????
  3. Glad you had a good trip. I grew up in So Cal and Dad was racing director for Valvoline so I did lots of 'car' stuff. To bad Peterson museum was closed as it is a great place too.
  4. very nice work!
  5. A modern tool 71-72 has a number of options as Tim says. Just tool both hoods, scoop Mach1 and base model flat, so we can finally get a model of the REAL Elanor!!!
  6. Have not been able to insert via link since the change. As long as I am at home I just download.......but only way for me.
  7. It will be interesting to see what the 'open all closed gates' gives us. That MAY be goo......
  8. BECAUSE there is still a group of us that are willing to pay cash for it. Enough to make a profit R2 thinks. And judging by the price they have sold for on ebay some are willing to pay a LOT for them. Sunday a ZZR went for almost $300 and a Cashbox more.....both 'stupid' showrods. If you don't want to buy a kit.......just pass it by. Negativity we have more than enough of that in the world outside this forum. I seek out the vast majority of positive folks here. thx
  9. Very sorry for your loss........ I like to look at it as all the years of love and care you gave to your buddy......and how good of a life he had. I can say I understand as we lost a 14 year old kitty 2 months ago. Our first Manx and we had hand raised her. It can be very tough. Thanks for the great care you provided.
  10. It came with AMT GMC COE kits back inn the day......Not sure if anyone does it in resin.....but I picked up a unbuilt of ebay a few years ago cheap. This is one I built back in the day....
  11. My version of the Revell Nancy kit.....slightly modified with new rear tires and body altered. A pretty nice kit for it's age.
  12. Nice work......I've built plastic loco kits from Monogram, Kit Master, AHM/Rivirossi and MPC.
  13. I see a few I've been bugging John G for!!!!!!!!
  14. On the new Moebius Ford pick-up kits most of the chassis will dry fit together and stay assembled......so yes....between fit and positive locators modern kits should.
  15. And 80% of it is all new tooling......and unlike a 29 Ford kit......multi versions down the road are a lot tougher. (ie spreading tooling cost over 10 years)
  16. Well........this is not a 'one piece chassis, 3 part interior and a body' kit These snappers will have multi part chassis, engine and pretty complete roll cage. True.....some parts may be 'grouped' and some simplified.......but the label Revell has started 'Snap Tite MAX' should tell you they are not just aimed at kids. If these are as good as promised I'll build these over the 'glue' version.......stock cars are just bodies after 3 or 4 builds.
  17. Per Revell everything depends on sales......want a Toyota??? BUY......don'y say you are gonna pass on the Chevy and Ford then complain no Toyota......just sayin........first two go well........NASCAR wants to keep Toy happy......what do you think will happen?
  18. EXCELLENT!
  19. Crown Vic a simplified kit that builds well and looks good. (no motor etc) 64 Dodge is very nice....much like a modern Revell or AMT kit.
  20. As stated....no one answer. Best to ask about a specific kit.....
  21. Well........I got a little upset when PETERSON museum itself had a American Graffiti display of all the 'star' cars and each had a Barris crest decal applied and some noise about Barris being involved.......which is incorrect as far as I have discovered. Still.......he did do a lot of work. RIP PS there was a thread on this topic
  22. Decent show tonight. I'd rank it at 3rd of the 3 shown so far.....but still decent.
  23. Nice clean builds in great colors!! Plus great seeing another Flock car....I did the decal art for that one. Ms flock was a neighbor of mine when I lived in Charlotte.
  24. And Matt gets a 2 week vacation! But remember kids....do as I say....not as I DO!!!!
