LDO

Awww. I forgot. Saying that other people's ideas are boring is only OK when you do it. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=103584&page=2 Go tell a moderator.

Wow. An injection molded Cadillac lead sled. I never woulda thunk it. Glad I voted for it.

Yeah. When people ask for opinions, I give mine. I'm such a rebel.

It's in reply to the thread title. Maybe I should have added "I hope not. I'd rather see..."

I'd vote for a modified reissue of the Model A roadster, this time with a '27 T body. I have no doubt that would sell better than a wagon.

Just curious. I think it would be cool to make a model of an "updated" Strosek twin supercharger setup from the '80s. Two roots blowers connected by a curved plenum, but it had injectors at the s/c inlets. Wondering if any superchargers are made today that can run dry, but have the intake on top, rather than at the back end. A Lysholm 3300 R may, but I'm not sure.

Maybe the caps are causing a glitch.

I was surprised that Toys r Us is still in business. The local one closed. I figured it was the whole chain, like some other chains.

Well, yeah, I meant that body with the rest of their Model A kit. Also- my phone apparently doesn't recognize Revell's name.

Jimmy Flintstone does offer a roadster. Stock body dimensions from cowl back, no fenders, with track nose. IIRC, Perry's Resin offers one, or did at one time. Edit: Perry's Resin does have a T Roadster on their website. It's listed at $35 and has a stock grille shell and hood, plus fenders/running boards. But yeah, it sure would be cool if Rebellion offered the same thing.

I believe that's an AMT '37 Chevy.

Is there a number for "I can't believe they're making a street rod when there is no kit of the boring sedan I drove to high school"?

Maybe Revell can do a second rebody of their upcoming Model A kit. That would an awesome model. Either of the Midget engines would be great in it.

Ah. Ernie Immerso's "Golden Star" '25 T roadster in orange. Awesome show car. Love that engine.

The image isn't showing up. Is it a '27 T roadster with track nose, yellow/gold paint, and tons of chrome? If so, I saw it at a Dallas Autorama back around 1990 or so. Really cool car.

Whoa. Cosworth DFVs. Nice. I may have to find one of those kits. That Ford DOHC with intakes between cams is pretty wild, too. I could suspend disbelief for a model. That reminds me of another cool engine; The V-12 out of Ferrari's 365GTC. It also had carbs between the cams, but exhaust in the normal location. Maybe I could make new heads for the V-12 out of Fujimi's Daytona. That engine in an AMBR-winning '32 Ford back around 1987 or so. There are older V-12s in Ferrari 250GTO, 250 Testa Rossa, and 275 GTB/GTS kits. That has actually been done in the real world. Eric Zausner had a one-off car built by Steve Moal with a Colombo V-12. There is also a real '32 Ford street rod with one of these engines. It's not DOHC, but a Corvette C5 drive train, with its torque tube and transaxle, would a great foundation for a street rod that handles like a road racer. Lots of ideas for Revell's upcoming roadster.

Here in the real world, most of us don't know the first thing about hacking. But hey- THANK YOU for telling the whole world about a security issue on this site. Maybe someone can bring the whole thing crashing down. If that happens, and I can't communicate with you because of it, let me offer you a preemptive pat on the back.

Fiat Barchetta. I saw these in Germany when i served there in the '90s. Fujimi makes a model Here's another vote for a Ute/El Camino

I thought of a better way to ask the question: How wide are the grille shell and cowl? A quick search showed roughly 20 1/4" inches for a '29 grille shell (if the one answer I found is correct). Ford's 4.6 DOHC is about 29 inches wide. Nothing wrong with cutouts, but good grief, having 5-6 inches poking out of each side is just ridiculous. I think the 928 engine is 2-3 inches wider. I have never sat in one of those old Fords. I'll take your word that they are cramped.

I know, lots of different answers, and most will start with "it depends". I'm talking real world, which may or may not be the same when scaled down. I like DOHC V engines. Will Ford's 4.6 DOHC need hood side cutouts? Is a Deuce grille wider, making for less taper/wider engine compartment? Bonus question: Is there a 1/24 or 1/25 Porsche 928 with a good looking 4cam engine?

Back in 1990, I bought a Nissan mini truck. A Japanese truck, assembled in Tennessee, with engine and trans made in Mexico. My aunt wanted to know why I didn't buy an American car. She had just bought a 1st gen Ford Probe. I asked "Why didn't YOU?". I had to show her the sticker in the door jamb that said "Built by Mazda for Ford".

Nice! PM your address and I'll get it out as soon as I can.

Thursday at the latest. I requested that day off. It's my birthday and (hopefully) the start of a 4-day weekend. I'm a plumber. I get paid hourly, with ten hours or so of overtime a week. It's tough to give up an hour or more of OT to stop at the Post Office.

Mustangdude made a deal with me in PM. I would like another GT500 engine, though. If you want to make the same deal, I'll trade for a Revell '29 Ford, when it gets released. Just agree to it here. I'll take your word for it and send the Mustang. Send the '29 when it gets released. If you have an airplane stash, I'm looking for 1/48 B-29s, B-24s, and 1/72 B-36s.
