  1. very cool! (but it isn't a coupe...its a roadster )
  2. That's even more impressive than the real thing.. .(well almost )
  3. BARBARA Bush.
  4. Well those guys are ALL out of work now ........ does that make you feel any better?
  5. Very clever....and very nicely built!
  6. Sits just right!
  7. ^^^^ I think most car folks know that 2 doors refer to sedans. Roadsters and coupes aren't called 2 doors because...they're called...coupes and roadsters! Yes, the recent Revell 2 door is the best by far!
  8. Yes this is a great kit.... I still wish Tamiya would do more classic English sports cars....MGA TR3 (first series) Austin Healy would all be just fine!
  9. While the new Revell 32s are "better"... .I still like the old Monogram 32 too (but only with fenders)... (except that awful 3 window mess they made from it (although it too had all the good pieces,except a body )
  10. A very UGLY truck made even uglier with that ill-fitted bed. No thanks!
  11. right off the rails...
  12. ^^^^^ I get the feeling he's never actually seen or touched any of the models he "talks" at us about....
  13. Still no "news" nor a "review". Bob have you ever actually seen or touched one of these kits?
  14. You STILL don't seem to get what this thread is for...
  15. Very interesting..not what I was expecting.
  16. you've gotta be kidding...
  17. Sorry I'm gonna need better pictures ?
  18. Nice cars Craig thanks for sharing!
  19. Fireball model works....google for his website.
  20. very nice car n pics! thanks for sharing..
  21. The most complicated part of building old style cars can be finding skinny front and rear tires . Drag car fronts and tires from AMT stock 34s are often used ...I have a bunch of Tamiya VW tires for the fronts on my cars. I use tires from a Revell of Germany 50s Mercedes racer for 2 sizes of rears. Check build threads for other ideas. Skinny steel wheels are easy to find...sadly there isn't much in the way of Ford wire wheels. Have fun!
  22. Early Revell Model A kits have many of the chassis parts ,rear end, stock and dropped I beam axles. Revell 48 and 40 Fords (kits with custom options only) have great hot rodded flatheads and chassis parts. Minatures and Replicas of Maryland has a 32 frame modified to accept the Model A parts (buggy springs) as well as Duval windshields and various other traditional parts. Revell released 2 Model A hot rod kits recently that contain lots of great parts but they were only produced briefly (29 highboy roadster and a 30 coupe) they may return later this year. Lots of very neat stuff out there for your projects..but it will take some looking.
