  1. Everything looks great...Thanks for the updates Gerry
  2. I couldn't be happier to hear our concerns about the body proportions were unfounded....looking forward to building this Pontiac. Thanks for the followup Dave
  3. I thought it was apropriate to share perceptions of the new Pontiac....if nothing is wrong with the "size" of the body... that's great. However I would think Dave and company are interested in their customer's perceptions of their products. Dave didn't seem upset about the wheel or c-pillar comments and he seems confident that the body is OK. Frankly Gerry your "I'm not going to do this again" response seems a bit odd. If the "camera" distorted the appearance of the model,maybe the easiest way to fix that problem would be for Dave to take some photos that don't "distort" the kit? My comments were meant to be helpful not insulting and I assume that is the case with the others who raised concerns....
  4. Yes..please fix it...I think it will be well worth it for your sales and reputation.
  5. But IF it's indeed "wrong" isn't this the time to point it out,*before* it's put into production?
  6. Look at the difference between Gerry's pic and Mike's....note the relationship between the backlite and the rear wheelwells, doesn't match to my eye. The rear end seems too long,reminds me of the Trumpeter 60 Pontiac. I sure hope I'm wrong.....
  7. sounded better than it looks....too bad,it was a great idea.
  8. Thanks Art..looks great from every angle.
  9. Looks great... how 'bout some more pics?
  10. The three-window coupe was a Deluxe model only....stainless steel or chrome is correct.
  11. I wish they would bring this kit and/or the Anglia up to modern standards like they did with the 40 Willys....
  12. I like the proportions better than a "real" short bed C-10. How much did you shorten it?
  13. Johan kits randomly (maybe just the re-issues?)
  14. I rented one of these cars(a real one) a few months ago...it was very nice but the heater fan was very loud (even on low) kinda strange given how nice everyhing else was.
  15. I seem to recall learning in church that we were supposed to turn the other cheek....when.was that changed?
  16. I'm sure those are not Mini-lites..they appear to be Western Mags..note the W on the cap... but yes they appear to be 14 inch.
  17. I missed this kit the last time around...has anyone gotten the new release?
  18. just like all the 1-1 big block powered road racers on tiny wheels and street tires I guess... .even though the "race" version is little more than a joke, the rest of it looks pretty nice. Maybe future versions will be better thought out?
  19. you're part right...it's the coupe (stock)pictured above and the long roof club sedan(with parts for a drag racer)... no mention of any hardtop yet..
  20. The "racer" version just looks silly to me....tiny wheels,hoop roll bar and a big block are not the pieces that make up a road racer. I'm more surprised than disappointed though. about how wrong they got it...
  21. yep ...from the box art they look to be 13inchers. perfect for a big block powered road racer? ooops again Revell....
