I bought a 1967 issue with a cover blurb that mentioned moon crawlers. The article had a few drawings and it was an announcement for a contest to build a crawler. Entries needed to arrive by January 1968. Does anyone know what issue has the results? I would love to see that. Photo is the 1967 issue.

Thank you, gentlemen. I ordered a Revell 1930 Ford Model A Coupe off eBay. I ordered an Accurate Miniatures McLaren also. Thankfully it will remain whole.

No. A Nailhead sounds cool for a 1960s show rod.

Wow. I thought there would be more kits with good looking mechanical fuel injection. Looks like 3D print or cannibalize an Accurate Miniatures McLaren.

I’m thinking of the McLaren M8B. Looking for that type of stacks. The Grand Sport Corvette is cool, but it has different induction.

I would prefer styrene to 3D print. I don’t want to spend $40 to rob the engine out of the M8B kit. (but I placed a Wanted add for one) Are there any other kits with a good looking V-8 with mechanical fuel injection? It can have vertical stacks or splayed, unequal length. It’s for a future show rod build. Thanks

Did a cat knock yours off the shelf? Did your dog chew the front end? But seriously, I would love to have the engine from a glue bomb, unfinished project, whatever. It’s for a future show rod project. edit: or whole kit Thanks. Lee

I found a Regal Coach on eBay. It is out for delivery 👍🏻

I gotta send you a link to a podcast about an intensifier. Can’t post it here.

I heard that the P-3 Orion anti-submarine aircraft had an abnormally high bird strike rate. From behind.

I really don’t know much about it. Info is pretty scarce. https://www.vettemod.com/threads/dohc-heads-on-a-bbc.6544/ https://www.hotrod.com/news/hot-rodders-pete-aardema-kevin-braun-create-scratch-built-12-cylinder-behemoth

I wondered if it could be something by Pete Aardema, but I couldn’t find anything of his on a 426. He did lots of wild conversions, including a big block Chevy with Porsche 928 DOHC heads. He had to get a custom block to get the bolts holes to match the Porsche heads. I would guess the DOHC small block Chevy was his.

A coupe would be cool.

I wish I had known that a few hours ago. No big loss. It’s still a cool car. I wanted the axle for my Dodge Fever build. It was recommended in the 1969 How-To article. I have an inbuilt ‘62 Catalina. Thanks for the info.

The main thing I want is the rear axle. I’m trying to scratch build one but it’s not working out. The seats are cool for vintage drag cars. After taking out those parts, the Sedan Delivery would be a cool curbside street rod. Pro Touring sounds cool.

I listen to a couple of podcasts about military subjects, but I only know of one about cars and it is low riders. Not my cup of tea (but I love the paint jobs). Are there any general interest model car podcasts?

I ordered a Sedan Delivery off eBay a few minutes ago. Thanks, y’all.

COOL. Thank you.

The Malco Gasser coupe, street car and Van/sedan delivery. I need some parts from the gasser. Wondering if I can get them from any of the other 1933 Willys models.

That’s a cool model and I’m glad it got restored. This article was part of my internet research before starting my project. It would be cool to see a themed nationwide contest like that happen again.

Tim- Thank you for the kind words. I read everything I could find online before starting this. I also found a Zoom interview with Jim on YouTube. The project was started before I had all six of the How-To articles. That accounts for a few of the differences. It’s also not easy to track down all of the same original parts. The story of your car was fascinating, also. It was a big part of the model car hobby and cool to see it restored. I’ll keep working on it. I want to see it through, so for the first time ever, I’m going to stick with one project only. My friend who printed a 1/8 scale model of a Potvin-blown Pontiac 421 with Mickey Thompson Hemi heads was disappointed to hear that it’s on the back burner. I think it will be up next. Thanks again, Lee

I’m getting a panhead and knucklehead from a guy in Japan. These things are little gems. He has models on Instagram that look like real motorcycles.

That is so wild. Was there a how-to article? That looks like inspiration for a future tribute build.

I don’t think I could pin down a favorite. There are so many that I would love to have. Right this minute I would say a street legal Porsche 935 K3
