    Oh, baby! Nice truck!

    I grabbed one right after they were reissued. I didn't want to wait and be victimized by the eBay sellers.

    I love the little Anglia!

    They don't have junk shops like that where I am...wow!

    Having a wife that not only tolerates your hobby but encourages it as well is priceless.

    What a great haul and a good price too. What are your plans for these? I can see many hours of entertainment whatever you decide.

    Love it!

    Man that is cool! ?
  9. redscampi
    Yeah, that would have been ideal, but no, I don't have it.

    Man, ain't it the truth! Built up glue bombs should be CHEAP!

    This is stellar! Now you need the support vehicles...

    Sounds workable but this may be beyond my skill set. I'd probably end up with something looking like Chubbs's hand in Happy Gilmore.

    Yeah I think the 63 hardtop is what I was remembering without posts. The rear roof line is quite different. Thanks! There are definitely stress cracks in the glass. I do have two or three coke Rancheros to use so front glass is covered. My 61 Falcon glass has the same issue as this to a lesser extent. I also have a red 62 that the entire roof is gone from so it will become a convertible. May be time for a few more Walmart Ranchero donors. Finding any kit for a buck is a good day. Finding one you really want is a great day!

    Tasty set of models! The 56 is my favorite of the bunch.

    I like the idea! I am really attracted to resto-rods that don’t mess too much with the original styling. Stance and rolling stock are the key elements.

    Bill, I am in awe of that appropriately named Phoenix. Hope to see it finished someday. I may try your layered styrene approach on this. Very tempted because even though they’re cheap and plentiful, the little Ranchero kits are cool and I’d hate to waste one. I guess I can save that for a backup plan if I can’t manage to carve something acceptable.

    Thanks, Mark. This seems like the simplest solution. At least for me. I could have sworn there was a hardtop Falcon. They should have made one. It looks “right “. Can’t find a picture anywhere though. I have a 61 with the same B pillar issue. It shouldn’t be hard to build some.

    I have this 62 Falcon that has suffered an unfortunate accident. It's otherwise pretty nice. I was thinking of just chopping it out a bit and splicing in a corner from a 60 Ranchero. What would you do?
  19. redscampi
    Really well done!

    This is so true of so many you tube presentations. For every good video on any subject, there are at least ten that look like the guy just rolled out of bed and started recording with no thought about what their video looks like. Incoherent mumbling and shaky camera and lots of irrelevant stories about nothing in particular.
  21. redscampi
    Yes. Yes it does. Thank you.
  22. redscampi
    What a cool wife to have kept something like this safe over the years! Great model too.
  23. redscampi
    Oh and I got several engines, transmissions, 9" rear ends and some Jackman wheels from Texas 3D Customs. You should really check is stuff out. It's second to none!

    I got a Scuz-Fink. I've been watching the dumb prices on eBay for these and a new one finally popped up at a significantly lower price, so I pulled the trigger. This comes pretty close to competing my collection of the Ed Roth monster kits. I also got this original 1970 issue T'rantula which looked pretty complete and was described as "started" When it arrived I discovered that nothing is glued or painted at all, and without inventory, I think all parts are present. It also happened to have a cool little turtle deck drag body in the box. Does anyone know which kit it is from? Sorry, it's upside down in the picture and I'm too lazy to take a new one right now. Thirdly, I also got a 1997 re-issue of the Revell Gypsy Dune Buggy. I'd never seen it before and I found it at the bottom of a rabbit hole I was following.

    You can afford one of each??? Wish I could.
