  1. He did a nice job on the styled IH Farmall tractors too.
  2. And the Mexican government won't do anything about it.
  3. I'm needing a 1/25 scale T 2/3 for a build, any recomendations on a kit that has one or two? Resin would be fine too, but all of those I've found are LARGE. I'm not asking for the parts, just a direction to start looking. Thanks in advance.
  4. Very nice! Did you stretch the bed?
  5. Jo Han Chrysler Turbine car, first issue.
  6. Finish it and enjoy it as a cross generational build.
  7. The name "Volkswagen" is used severial times in the Meyers Manx instructions so some kind of agreement was found.
  8. There hasn't been much that i've been interested in or didn't allready have in my stash. I'm OK with that, let others have their turn.
  9. Shame about the mould, very cool car! Whats the scale?
  10. AMT 55 Chevy stepside + Modelhaus resin 58 cab kit builds exactly what you want, quick and easy.
  11. With a couple of crossover hits (Smoking Gun and Right Next Door) back in the 80's I thought his career was off to a great start. I guess grunge killed his take on blues off along with hair metal.
  12. The AMT 55 Sedan was issued as a pro street version back in the early 90's, and you may still find one. By the way, your grandpa's 55 is a 210, not a Belair.
  13. Injection molded plastic requires expensive tooling and machines to mold, resin can be done by a hobbyist on a much smaller basis. Resin models are a way for reproducing old oop kits or handmade subjects in small numbers. Many cars that were never modeled by the "little three" can be bought in resin giving us a larger variety.
  14. A Yugo was a Fiat 128 built under license, so..... Dymaxian? Stout Scarab? White steamer?.....
  15. http://www.google.com/imgres?client=firefox-a&hs=2Ct&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1024&bih=625&tbm=isch&tbnid=lJaLM5tt-jx_9M:&imgrefurl=http://www.gogocycles.com/wanted-harley-servi-car-frame.html&docid=j0vzelLdmm-1gM&imgurl=http://www.gogocycles.com/images/wanted-harley-servi-car-frame-21387304.jpg&w=400&h=212&ei=s7VdUpCeN4TCywGHioCwDA&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:3,s:0,i:90&iact=rc&page=1&tbnh=163&tbnw=308&start=0&ndsp=13&tx=117&ty=75 This is an old Harley Servacar setup, used from the thirtys until 1973.
  16. All of them that I know of have a differential. Having said that I will tell you that they can steer hard because you can't lean like a two wheeler.
  17. I started driving in 1970, and every car I owned was "jacked up" until I bought my first 'Vette. The 69 Camaro I'm restoring will sit high when it's done, all of these lowered muscle cars look WRONG to me. The sidepipes were never popular here, we called them Tennessee kickstands. We were going for the Pro Stock look, and I still love the look
  18. The Flintstone body also has non stock slanted door post and up market Impala sidetrim, but will build into a nice simi custom.
  19. Mercman, you know that wasn't "the" Batmobile, don't you? (Look at the black windshield moldings) I think this is the Return To The Batcave replica, which Barris has owned for years.
  20. There is some nice footage of the real Tumbler at Jay Leno's Garage web site, road drive and all.
  21. Go to youtube, search Asylum Street Spankers / "If I had Possession Over Judgement Day" to see a master at work. (Guy Forsyth)
  22. Speaking of Victoria's Secret why won't real girls wear that stuff?
