  1. In Ford the Taurus and Interceptor are considered two different vehicles and are labeled as such so in thinking like you mentioned on the CV Ford will probably do the same with the Interceptor or that's how I understood it at the meeting in February.
  2. The last Ford meeting I attended in Feb this year talked about the sales growing huge in the suv and the dying in the car end,the Fusion is having its share of issues with the current Gen, the Interceptor (Taurus based) will possibly be available but just not in civilian use but also many police dept are going to the suv Interceptor ... It will be interesting to see what Ford does over the next few years after all they were prepared for when bottom that dropped out and all took the bail out but them.....time will tell
  3. Bow to thee Ole Great Hemi !!!!
  4. As David just said it is nice to see a stock truck and I really like the color choice as I think it really sets it off just right.
  5. I always loved these old GM cabovers ,haven't seen one of these in years.
  6. WOW...Just WOW ....what can I say that hasn't been said,this truck is absolutely beautiful !!!! I would love to have a 1:1 just like this one,the color choice is perfect and love the wheels....again WOW!!

  12. The good thing Baby Girl isn't getting married anytime soon!!!!!! and as far as her Super Duty goes,she has wanted a Powerstroke Super Duty ever since she was 8 years old and being I work for a Ford dealer I was able to get "Dustie" at the right price and we done tons - o - tons of work in her Six - OH - No......but it has paid off and she has been taking "Auto Tech" in high school and she plans to further her education in diesels.....
  13. Baby Girl has finally turned 16 in September and got her drivers license in October......and I just wanted to share these couple lil' shots from last month ..... Happiness is when you look in da' rear view mirror and see your Baby Girl's Super Duty come up behind ya and then follow you to go out to eat and park side by side Life's good.....and oh yeah Dad here is gonna be a car owner kinda sorta because Baby Girl will be running my Mustang at the local drag strip next year...."Race It,Break It,Fix It,Repeat"
  14. Hey that's my cousin Harold!!!!
  15. I am with you on this as well,I became very fortunate under the circumstances to purchase my very favorite work of art that Harry done,his '26 Mack ,the pictures he had posted and what and what Amy had also does no justice to the truck at all....it is a true honor to have his work....
  16. Just brought this ol' Girl home last night.....Always wanted one,my dad had one in the early 60's thatwas modified to left hand controls being he lost his right arm in Korea,and my best friends dad restored a beautiful '46 which I loved and wanted one even more....unfortunately Roy passed away in July and and Ed called me and said "Mom's selling the Cushman,know anyone interested?"..... and now you know the rest of the story.....Thank you Roy for saving this beauty and I promise "Lizzie" will have a good home and will be loved and cared for.....
  17. On my 9N I have had good luck with http://www.tractorpartsinc.com/ also http://www.9nford.com/ for help and info as well as the N-Newsletter as mentioned along with New Holland for mechanical parts.....I have been off and on restoring mine as well ....not saying I have all the know how or answers but I would be happy to help out in anyway that I can.
  18. One of the best resin people I have ever done dealings with and parts are super clean.....
  19. Everyone in my household has positive thoughts and praying for ya my friend!
  20. You are correct on the colors being custom especially later in the movies,I too have the formulas and also had the paint mixed by a friend who has a paint shop and both are different from each other as the later color was a bit darker......yeah I know I am just a James Garner fan and loved the Rockford Files and have some props and scripts and photos from the show and again I think what you done is the most brilliant work of art ever done in honor of the show!!
  21. WOW that is fantastic,I remember you were looking for info on the color of Jimmy's Firebird,what did you end up with because it looks like you nailed it!!!! Everything is caught in perfect detail , Ihave to say this is my favorite dio ever of my favorite show....
  22. A bittersweet gift you might say,My best friend Ed from alllllllllllllllllll the way back from high school days (Class of '81) gave me these that his mom and him found from his dad Roy in his stash,Roy passed away last month and he will be missed for sure by his wife and his son Ed but also by me as well,Roy was a true car guy and model/promo collector and when he would tell you about his street racing days with his '57 Olds J2 you could picture it perfect in your head as he told it because he told with such great detail.....Now Ed didn't want these as he is strictly a promo/die-cast collector and he know how much I love plastic so he and his mom bundled up what they have found and gave them to me and they are all complete except for the Galaxie,it's missing front and rear bumpers and tail lamps because Roy gave those to ED to re-do his Galaxie promo.....Roy I know you are in a better place and you probably got that ol' '57 olds tearing up the golden streets up there and I will cherish these kits!
  23. Now that's a super great tip!....that would look more convincing than using just a dab of blue paint which I have done in the past....Thanks!
  24. HOLY COW!!!!! I had no idea you started off with a toy ERTL,I thought this thing started life as a SpecCast with a few refinements done to it , you knocked this thing right out of the corn field!!!....truly amazing work and as I said before I am a "Red" man myself but if it's gotta be Green then be a Oliver,keep them coming!
  25. I prefer "Red" but that suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure is a nice "Other Green" , I too collect some 1/16th tractors and I like how you took the "toy" look from it with the extra work you put into it,would like to see more of it.
