  1. Sorry, that was ment to be an edit.
  2. Not everyone bows at the blue oval when it comes to old cars, I'd like a curved dash Olds and a Stanley Steamer in 1/25'th too.
  3. I saw one of these very cleanly built at the HMCA show today. As a curbside (the hood was on and I didn't pick it up) it presented it's self very well.
  4. I'm not too sure just what you are asking, but I remember 57 Chevys were orange or yellow, were powered by 327's, set real high, had Cragar whells and Hurst shifters. These "things" with powerglides and wide white walls and easter egg colors, I have no clue why anyone would do that!
  5. It seems that if I want a new kit tooled all I have to do is spend big bucks for a resin kit or do a scrach build / conversion. In the last few years I have bought resin kits of a 72 Olds Cutlass Convertable, a 50 Olds, a 55 Chrysler 300, a 53 Hudson, a 57 Chevy 150 sedan, converted a 57 Chevy Belair hardtop into a sedan, And a Modelhaus Tucker.
  6. Great show and swap, if the weathers nice I'm driving my Manx. Anyone else going???
  7. The bar going forward should never attach to the upper bar in the center, it should go from the corner to the outer floor above the boxed section of the unibody. Better yet do the six point posted above .
  8. If the weather is nice I'm driving my Manx.
  9. I have one, but haven't built it yet.
  10. Also used in '68 on 350 SS Camaros, big block '68 Camaros got the four stacks trim like the '69 SS Camaros.
  11. Actualy one was raced in NASCAR, it is restored and was in Hemmings Classic Cars mag a few months back.
  12. I would have thought than any vehical model would be fully welcomed, not just in the other models section.
  13. A bit of trivia, in the opening of American Graffiti the drive in used for the set was on the wrong side of the road to film the setting sun behind it. They filmed a sunrise and ran the film backwards. Also, my brother has an OLD roundtop Norge fridge in his garage for "barley pops". Works just fine!
  14. 1440cc single? That adds a new meaning to the term "thumper".
  15. I had no idea you were going through anything like this. Makes my problems seem like nothing.
  16. Sears has a pin vice set for about $7.
  17. Looks good to me !
  18. The color combo on the bike is from 1979 / 80, and with that AMF logo on the box I'd bet the kit dates from then too.
  19. I'd love to have it, so I'd say build it!!
  20. Ok, so the car blows a head gasket, and it rains so 150 miles on the bike doesn't sound like fun. So I missed it. Anyone have photos to post?
  21. X2. I put mine back in the box and someday I will do some scratchbuilding with a Lindburg or AMT (Forget which is the right year) and some of those resin Jo-Han Toronado engines on ebay.
  22. Very simplified, transmissions are little more than a blob.
  23.

  24. There is always coffee and snacks.
