Lindbergh did originally Kit this one . The Bugatti Royal (Herr Dokter) Fuche Roadster (not Edster's) Lindbergh Duplicated this to the condition Chuck Jordon restored it running condition Post WW II . 4 Rochester Carbs to Replace 1 Bugatti Card . He located it in a Wrecking Yard in NYC and snapped it up . Thanx ..

Excellent Replica . Well done . Thanx

Excllent Replica . Yes , the parts fit and finish of these deacades of Kits lack precision . Kits indeed , not shake and display . Thanx

Excellent Replicas . The Lincoln Futura included in your Posts is a nice Touch . Your efforts show through . Thanx

AMT '27 Ford Phaeton kit has the Frontenac Conversion . Norm at RMofM sells the Audrun conversion . Thanx

I did not see this Post until today . I did miss including the source information . My apologies . The Willies is a Mike's Miniature . The '50 Packard is a F&F Casting . The '53 Packard Carribean is a Modelhaus Resin Kit Thanx ..

Beautiful Replica and a stunning Rendition . You must have patience and skills to build these Kits . Not a "Remove from box and display" for sure by any measure . Thanx

Your attention to detail is outstanding . Well done and Kudos . Thanx

Nice sourcing of Referencing Materials . Excellent conversion work . TY for the WIP . I don't go here enough . Thanx

The '57 Rebel is a lost child too . I agree with the Independents are ignored . Economics 1 . What would the Kit Makers maximize Profits from. This is what is produced . Okey has some WIP's in Resin Ramblers . The Master is being derived from a JoHan '59 Kit . Thanx

TY for the Correction Ace Car Guy . I mixed that up with the 302 . Direct SBC Trick from the Hot Rodder's Bag of Tricks . 327 Block , 283 Crank . Fed Smofg Emmissions required a Smog Pump for the 302 and 307 Mills . Thanx

Somewhere in my Library is a Custom Car Mag from 1958 . An included Fetured Artical is the First time the Ala Cart appeared in Print . IIRC it had recently won the Oakland Roadster Show pervious to this Publiction . You sure did nail this . TY for the Details and How to's making this exact Replica . I did no know the Wheels and W/W Tires , Correct Taillights ect. are in the '90's Release . I did not build mine thinking these parts are Incorrect . These pics are a Rescue of the remains of my Original Kit . Yeah , mine needs stonned The Blackwalls and Baby Moons make my Eyeballs Bleed also . Fingernail Poilish Pearlecent Paint job is a crowning achievement on this . Thanx

IMHO . As always you Sir ARE an Undisputed Master . Keep them coming please . From a quote you responded to me decades ago . If you desire a Model of a Russian Car . Get an old Ford Kit . The Ford is Superior anyway . Here is a Die Cast '57 Volga GAZ I did buy since then . I understand what you meant . Thanx

The 350 Engine Did not make an appearence until the '69 MY Chevrolet Line of Power Pants . The 327 was upped in CID to avoid the required Power Robbing Government Demanded "Smog Pumps" . I am not trying to steal your Thunder . This is History . I worked at a Chevy Dealer in that Era . I've been a Car Guy since around the Time I could Talk . This is a build i did from hat release ? It had all the Custom Parts like the original Kit . Does anyone have the Custom Headlight Buckets they would like to part with ? Thanx

Possibly . I believe this is an AMT Kit . It spent close to 5 Years to source enough Pieces to rescue it . The correct Kit Mill . dash (Starboard ?) , Skies . ect were Hen's Teeth . Plus few other details not acquired with the First purchase at Toledo Shows . TY much for your comments . The Point Contact "Cusions" on the Trailer are Scratch built . This is a Wood Boat Replica IIRC . I equipped the Trailer as such . It is arranged to handle Wood Boats . The Two Blade High Speed Prop indicates a Drag/Ski Boat . Thanx

My fIrst Car and the ONE I learned to Drive on . A Factory Re-Sale all Red 1960 EnFo Anglia . 4 on the floor . My father sent me out in on Gravel Driveway to conquer the Clutch Engagement . I had to re-fill the "Divots" . When my shovel time expired , on the Road we went . This one pictured here is a '68 . For this Anglia is a next to the last MY / Name Plate Edition Thanx

I did not know Pee Bucket will remove old Posts here . I won't pay Extortion Either ! Myself , I am grateful to access Old Posts here . History is important . "those not understanding History are condemned to repeat it ." Thanx

Correct me if I am wrong . This 1959 AMT Boat is a glue bombs Rescue I did awhile back . It is not quite like the Original Revelle '60's Boat . Yet , not like the AMT 3 in 1 Boat Kit . Enjoy and Thanx

AMT Model T kits Scale down the ELM or 385 Series V/8 FoMoCo line of engines . Different from the FE's in many ways . 430 CID initially and ended up with 460 CID . The later 460's were a different family derived from the Cobra Jet 429's IIRC . Or was it the 428 CID ? My Pics of Crate Engines . 429 SOHC , 3 Long Blocks , the one on the Stand is complete . Thanx ..

I did get mine the Weekend of April 10 . I am impressed so far . Thanx

You have collected a group of Gems here . I admire them all . I appreciate the sources are posted .and an explanation of what the subject is . The how and whys for the modifications are superlative . There were 49 Auto Manufacturers in the World when I sold Auto Parts during the '90's . We had parts listings for all available Makes in the US and Canada . Some South American , Mexican , but not all 49 . Thanx ..

I agree with the Advertisements being Black Walls . Family Members were Car Sales / Service Professionals . I was a Car Guy since I could Talk . I did pay attention when Grown Ups Spoke . This did not translate into the Frugal Buyer keeping up the White Walls nor the Truck as Pristine . Just the Frugal Buyer spent the Cash for the White Walls until there weren't any . The Premium Tire always did have the Best Materials and gives the most Reliability and Wear . White Wall Tires seem to be Publicly distasteful these days . I constantly see badmouthing . Such as "On Roll Aids" . To myself , seeing a Restoration with Black Walls when it had White Walls Originally and all the Time it was used for Transportation make my Eyeballs Bleed . lol .. Thanx ..

A Glue Bomb Rescue .. TY Modelhaus for making the FBumper/Grille after 5 Years of Requests . Plus al the other Hen's Teeth they ever cast not limited to this Build . I sure miss them . Color Matched using Chip Books and Advertisements I had access to in the day . It had all the Styline Parts and attachments in the Kit on it . If it was an actual 1:1 , keep this one away from magnets . Enjoy .. Thanx ..
