Not in a plastic kit. There's is a "mint" diecast, possibly one from each mint, but no to plastic. I'd love to have one also. I got a resin kit about 15 years ago but it had dimensional problems (as in one side was longer than the other).

The chinese kit is manufactured by "Lee" and it is a poor-quality copy. The plastic looks like someone sprayed some lacquer thinner on it; kinda wavy/orange peel-looking. OK if you're chopping it up and putting a Chezooom roof on, but for a stock caddy, avoid it. Ugh, posting on a smart phone is a pain.

Hasegawa's "special bomb" verion of the A-1H Skyraider. Look at the ordnance on the far left. It's a commode. Yes, a Skyraider pilot did drop a commode over Vietnam, and you can build a model of that plane.

Is the fan on only when spraying? It seems like a fan would just draw dust in if left on. Shouldn't they have doors to keep dust out after spraying is done? (I'm guessing yes, but $$$ prevents most from being cabinets). I'm curious because I saw a cool article on building one with a squirrel-cage fan from a furnace. I can get those free at work (used, of course) and I have a ton of scrap lumber/plywood.

This photo is from the 2011 Lone Star Roundup. It's a tudor sedan, radically lowered. No room for the fuel tank in its original position, so it was moved. It's now directly behind the driver's head. Not only is there a constant threat of tetanus, but passengers could get doused in gasoline in a wreck. Useless.

Trade you a glue bomb Lotus Just kidding. F-1 is not really my bag, but I do want that engine. I now have 2 big DFVs...and the remains of 2 F-1 cars.

I got it. More than I wanted to pay, but I won a builtup 1/8 scale Lotus F-1 car with a Cosworth V-8. I love that Cosworth. I also love sellers who don't know what they have. OOH! I know! Cosworth DFV in a Big Deuce!

I gotta have it. Will update.

Have you done any radical mods like chopping tops, sectioning, or anything else that would cut it into pieces? Are you using JB Weld to join the pieces back together? Have you bonded styrene/resin/Renshape to metal? What adhesive did you use? How did that work out? Thanks, Lee

A Danbury Mint 1/16 1953 Cadillac Eldorado.

Heller made a couple of Z1000s in 1/8 scale; a street bike and a racer.

I think Aoshima's 1/12 Z1R would be a good starting point.

Does this mean that the big 'cuda is ready?

I won't bid on it, but if you win it, I can ship it for you.

It's worth whatever you're willing to pay. I once paid $225 for a book about Duesenbergs. It was expensive, but other sellers were getting a lot more for the same book.

For ideas on what was available, check out the 1959 Professional Cars page on Yann Saunders' Cadillac Database. It is the most awesome car website EVER. http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_txt/prof59.htm

Or Original Post.

Skip- If you were in the same town, I'd buy you a beer for that OP.

Which casket are you talking about? I may have a Jo-Han casket.

And THIS bad boy! It will be 1/144. The real thing has a wing span of 141ft, so the model will be very close to 1ft span. Pretty cool.

This is what they're talking about.

Photos of the model parts or real engines? I have 3 of the real engines in my garage. One short block, one bare block on a stand, and one assembled long block and a C6 trans (accessories removed/carburetor manifold)

Another site is having a contest for Land Speed Racers. My entry is a lakester, a.k.a. belly tanker. Frame is scratchbuilt, and really just there to hold the 4 wheels. The only visible part is the cockpit. Front suspension and rear axle are from Revell's '47 Ford convertible. Belly tank body was made on a home made tiny vacuum former. The master was intended to be a P-38 tank, but the profile was wrong. I used the front half of that, a scratchbuilt straight cylinder extension, and the tail end of a 1/18 scale V-1 "Buzz Bomb" to make a generic tank master. "Blue collar" vacuum former and tank halves, showing the extreme redneck frame to hold the plastic sheet. Hey- it worked and it was made from stuff lying around the house. Vacuum former is made from parts bought at Radio Shack; a project box topped with perf board. I used plumbing parts to connect it to my shop vac hose.

Will the Pro Mod body be offered in pieces? If so, will it cost less than the other bodies that TDR offer? I love that Aston Martin, but I just can't spend that kind of money on a model.

Pretty much.
