  1. Nice work!!!
  2. Kinda looks like NISSAN WANTS the $500+ charge when a real world GOOD mechanic does the work in minutes and not 1.6 hours.
  3. Revell 1/96 scale Saturn V kit box is over 4 feet tall. Not because it needs to be but it becomes a storage case after building
  4. I ride the Amtrak Southwest Chief to LA on a regular basis. Once on our stop at Winslow there was a 50s era Ford parked at the station. Not the one pictured but wonder if kinda a local joke?
  5. Super nice work!!!!
  6. Make a good replica of 'The Dude's' ride too!!!
  7. Kinda sounds like Caddy is just re-badging the engine. I'd be more impressed if they built their own engine.
  8. I am bias toward Caddy......but I wish they'd have picked NASCAR as rumored........ Why I am bias.....
  9. So van we delete old attachments??? Mine is 2x full but some are from the last decade!!
  10. Fixed my inbox....sory about that........ My St. James decals FYI
  11. I make a few decals for the IMSA and Trans Am version. PM me if you need a catalog. SUPER nice build on that Folgers car. Nice and clean build! Not sure how I missed it.
  12. But we need a 2025 Dark Horse Cup body first. I like it!!!
  13. COOL STUFF! I like the Pacer Panel and Rebel in copper. Here are my wo....down from 4!! 1973 Javelin. I am 2nd owner, bought in 1993. 1974 Matador coupe. Bought in 1994 from the lady that ordered it. She gave me all the paperwork.
  14. The only thing I saw was Atlantis kits.....Problem is everyday in the past you could get 40% off with coupon. NOW kits are 20% off, no coupon permitted. SO........
  15. STS Decals are nice. Do not expect cheap, but super nice work.
  16. Would need to be from scratch. I have a G 1/24 scale short baggage car body to start ...add to my 10,000 projects!
  17. Very cool.......that would be cool to build in 1/24 (G)
  18. The Revell tri fives were a BEAR to build from day one.......why the surprise???
  19. Roanoke VA had the old MPC trikes, mixer, miller trailer and TWO Star Trek shuttles.......the shuttles came home with me....and a Taco Trike. I has 10% too so a deal!
  20. The Monogram 83-85 Bird is 100% correct as is!!!!! Problem is it is a model of a protorype TB built by Banjo Matthews for the movie 'Stroker Ace'. This is the deal......told to me by Bob Johnson himself. Ford wanted a kit of the 83 Bird available for it's debut in the Daytona 500 AND to be the Star Car in the film. So some drawings and a few stampings were sent to Banjo along with Bob to make drawings for the kit. As we all the the real race car was different than the kit. A decent model can be made from it.....not 1005 correct. For me I add a tri-angle of sheet stock to the rear of the wheel opening. Remove the rubber rub strip on the door. Headlight doors need fixed but I never do. My version.....Hope you continue on yours!
  21. They should have done the 2025 Camaro kit!!!! ...........Oh wait....never mind......😁
  22. Salvino's does things different than many from what I can tell. I have no inside info but I bet they pay up front and are firm about the tooling being exported when finished. Stuff cloned in China with production there is MUCH cheaper. When I was doing a lot of work with RC2 and Model King we had whole bodies cloned and no one thought twice as the tooling was cheap. The tooling and production was bid as one.......
  23. I had friends at RM at the time.....All I ever got was 'tooling became unusable.....
