Kudos and a Bed Floor Technique I will use on my F-100 Buids .. Thanx ..

So great a replica . Beauty and eye-candy IMHO . I have many builds I struggled with Thanx ..

I admire this . I bought the Cuningham years ago . This is on my wish list . lol .. Thanx ..

Bucky , to add to your information in a positive way may I add this info ? A long time friend way back showed me a '60 & '61 MY's Comet Taillight Lenses . He worked i the Parts Dept at a Ford Dealer . He overlaid these with one another . The difference was the part number differentiated by the MY code : 60 + 61 SAE . Just for gigging and pooping he overlaid a '60 MY Edsel Taillight over both one at a time . The difference was the part number , SAE 60 , once again . It may have been an E were included for both . A result from as when the lenses were tolled up, the Edsel II was planned for Production . The Taillight Body , Gasket and Attaching Screws are the same . The '59 Edsel used the same Taillight Lenses , Taillight body and screws an contemporary Lincolns . Albeit different part numbers with SAE 59 - E . Robert McNamara hated the Edsel and was suspicious of it . His idea was efficient small cars . Falcon and reluctantly the Edsel II (Comet) were promoted by , pushed and approved by Robert . He changed the Edsel into a Ford and asked why do we need 2 Fords ? Robert McNamara controlled the purse strings . He was tapped to be included in President Kennedy's Cabinet , controlling purse strings . He eliminated redundancy on Tax Dollar Spending there also . Yes . I plan on buying yet another Edsel , to convert a Pacer into a Ranger . No paint on the Wheel covers is another visual difference between the Ranger and the rest on the '58 MY lineup . I still wait for Citations and Corsairs . Citations are the Cream of the Cream .. Thanx ..

Dave Dodge makes excellent products . Some of the latest for those missing some Muscle Cars , Oldsmobile , or Intermediates . CUT-64ht 1964 Olds Cutlass/442 Ht. (1/25th scale) (stock body, hood, grill & bumpers, interior, wheels, & vacuformed glass) Use Lindberg '67 442 kit for chassis and engine. CUT-65ht 1965 Olds 442 Ht. (1/25th scale) (stock body, hood, grill & bumpers, interior, wheels, & vacuformed glass) Use Lindberg '67 442 kit for chassis and engine. PS : Snake 45 . I ried for 3 weeks to message this to you .. Thanx

I am watching this with much interest . Kudos .. Thanx ..

I will just add this . I have 2 Resin Conversions of the ITC '40 Mercury . Different Grilles while one has the Taillights for the inaugural '39 MY . Conveniently , one Grille is a '39 , the other a '40 MY Grille and Taillights . The bodies are just a scooch lnger than AMT kits like Mercuries are . Te Lindbergh Chassis seems to need less 'stretching to fit the Mercury Bodies .. Thanx

This color choice was quite popular . Nice choice . The "Toilet Lid" was it optional or standard ? The "Contineltal Look" was the rage then . I am watching this Thanx ..

Yes , nothing seems to be changed since the first go around of this kit . Fitment issues remain . It is a challenge not meant for inexperienced builders . Are the kits still rated by Skill Level ? AFX , I am flabbergasted by the Box Art . Yes , I agree it is pleasing to the eye . Alas , not a 300 C in Factory Stock an numerous ways . I am admittedly retentive so here goes . The Front Air Scoops are RED in color . Not amber as would be turn signal/parking lamps lenses on a 1963 and newer US Sold Car . This First requirement by the feds for Car Manufacturers . The front parking/turn signal lenses are correct frosted clear . The Color , ohhhh , the color . These were Halo cars . At least the '55-'60 MY's were restricted to one of 3 options ONLY . Red , Black , White . Although the Turquoise might be correct for all other MoPars in 1957 . Not the 300 C . All letter series Chryslers interiors were restricted to Black and Tan until the 1964 MY (at least by my research has shown) MY .. I am retentive . Thanx ..

Thank you for the update Casey .. Thanx ..

I recently received my last Order from the fine folks at Modelhaus . I am delighted to put it mildly . I thank you Don and Carol fro your hard work , dedication and quality products .. Thanx ..

x3

I want Fx70x14" Red Lines and Blue Line Tire Sets . Ex70x14" would be nice . Fx78x14" and Gx78x14" . The same in 15" ?? I am retentive and won't build my WIP Muscle Cars with Tires 10 or 20 Years beyond the Showroom Floor . I won't budge off even two weeks either . Stock OEM is my genera .. Thanx

IIRC , Aurora oddered one of these too .. Thanx..

Capable Modeling Skills and eyecandy . Show these off where they are appreciated . Welcome , you're home .. lol .. Thanx ..

This is a Jem of a build . Well done in all details . Respectable , I would be proud to display this myself . Thanx ..

I just found the Boxer 6 too : /www.ebay.com/itm/1-24-Porsche-Carrera-6-Cylinder-Boxer-Resin-Engine/152395813237?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D48420%26meid%3D259e810ad69749fa9c2a324399a7d3b8%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D152395810459%26itm%3D152395813237&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Thanx ..

Steve is a Stellar source for resin models . I've dealt with him for decades . If it isn't right , he will make it so .. Thanx ..

I just spotted this on Evilbait and thought of you . >www.ebay.com/itm/1-24-Porsche-356-1500GS-4-Cylinder-Boxer-Resin-Engine/152395810459?hash=item237b7f869b:g:HmcAAOSwImRYeeTc< Thanx ..

Greg , you seek an obtainable goal . Keep at it . Thanx ..

I too worked both sides of these remarks . I am laughing really hard concerning Cloud MoPar batteries . Did anyone change a Lumina battery . Not the APV , but the '"Car" ? Book time is 1.5 Hr Labor . The Dealers whined about customers not needing Service at the Dealerships . The overhead cost supporting these is remarkable . Designers complied and we suffer with the results . Pssss . don't tell anyone about the GM Motor Mounts of the '60's . The Fix : weld a piece of Logging Chain between the Engine Block and Frame to Fix the Customer Complaint of "Accelerator Sticking at full throttle , wide open" ! GM figured out by not applying a 'primer' on the metal parts of a Motor Mount before sandwiching a chunk of Rubber in between during the Process would save .25 per each mount . Time passes , the rubber separates , the Engine Twists off the mount locking the linkage wide open . Point is , I spent most of my Carrier directly or indirectly in the Auto Industry . All have bad people . All have bad Products . Greedy Corps just have more .. Want some more memories ? Thanx ..

Go for it Bill . I am not a fan of Corvairs as all the experiences I had were all BAD .. lol .. I just know every inch and Oil Leak Location . Many Busted Knuckles is all I am saying . I would like to see the '64 164 hp , 164 (?) cid in a build . I did in a couple of 1:1's I repaired . Remember , the spare lived (mounted to hover) over the right side of the Engine Thanx ..

Yes , I agree with you Bill . Without the shroud Engine would not have cooling Air period . Included in the Parts Pac all is not lost . At least you get the Turbocharger parts . I plunked these in my '65 & '66 MY Factory Stock Corvair builds . Thanx ..

I am so impressed with this presentation .. KUDOS ! Thanx ..
