John...My old 392ci ones ran one had chromed valve covers on it...was a bummer to have to sell them off...bought one for only $25.oo and all were complete. I wanted to build a street rod and use one of them in it a 29 Ford 5 window coupe but it had to go too...another bummer. I do still have a pair of Chevy 409ci valve covers on the wall in my garage and a few auto/oil/gas related signs in there too...love those things.

Cool find...I would have had to try to get the whole engine... I use to own a 354ci/and two 392ci Hemi engines one had 2 4s on it...sadly I had to sell them off after my accident.

My take on a '66 Skylark modified stocker
disabled modeler replied to Old Coyote's topic in WIP: NASCAR
Very nice build... ...shame the company modified the molds for the factory stock one though...been trying to restore one. -
Welcome Dany...I am a fan of the Cadillac and luxury/family cars myself... ...very late 50s through mid 70s body styles of 2door,4door,wagons,etc.

Standardize Wheel Attachment

Believe it or not I am happy with the metal axle type...plastic tends to sag over time but then again I am a promo and promo like kit fan myself.... -
Russian 4x4 van...?
disabled modeler replied to disabled modeler's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
For me it would have to be plastic and 1/25th or 1/24rth scale...never been much for die-cast or small scale stuff. Yes it would be nice to have some of the small scale stuff made in a larger scale and it could open a new market area for the companies with some of them...I know Monogram made a 1/24rth scale Rambo chopper that sold well. I just think the vans are cool looking and have a lot of mod possibilities for building them if they were larger scaled. -
Brought my late 50th b-day present home yesterday
disabled modeler replied to Can-Con's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Not bad at all for a 85...will make a nice resto project. I had a 75 and then a 82 but the 82 got totaled 2 weeks after restoring it and starting to drive her...got hit from behind at about 60mph while stopped at a red light in a 30 zone...4 foot shorter on the drivers side rear...bummer. -
Russian 4x4 van...?
disabled modeler replied to disabled modeler's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks..yes it is...was hoping there was a plastic kit in my scale range...some things that look odd are cool too. There are many 1/32nd and 1/43rd scale kits that would be nice to see in 1/25th or 1/24rth scale too. -
What is the Russain 4x4 van the police/military,etc. use over there...seen some on you tube was wondering if they are available in 1/25th or 1/24rth scale plastic kits..???...in a way they kind of look like a VW bus?
