You'd have to ask Boyd Coddington or George Washington about that one

"NEW" MPC Dukes of Hazzard kit not what you expected
1972coronet replied to Greg Myers's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Wouldn't it be great if Round2 (et al.) were to market their snap kits toward the elementery schools ? Let's call it a "leave-your-electronic-leashes-OFF-for-an-hour-day" or some-thing to that effect . Firstly , if Round2 were to donate the kits to the schools , they'd certainly receive a tax write-off or tax credit , in addition to providing the most inexpensive and fully-effective Public Relations investment conceived ! Any-one else with me on this ? -
MPC 1/20th Ford Van to be reissued..
1972coronet replied to Rob Hall's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I would be all over that if the stock / two-wheel-drive parts were available ... -
The Sonics !!! An influential , inspirational , supersonic band that's underrated . Huge influence on the Garage bands and the Proto-Punk bands . How'd they sound ?

Just like "Squeeze" ( Velvet Underground , 1973 ) : zero original members ( Cale got "fired" in 1968 ; Reed boned-out before 'Loaded' was released in 1970 ; Tucker didn't play on the aforementioned album ; and , Morrison left in 1971 . Doug Yule ( John Cale's *replacement* ) carried the band's name on from 1971-1973 , with all-new members . What's the MC5 sans Tyner (deceased , age 46 , in 1991) , Smith (deceased , age 45 , in 1994) , and Davis (deceased , age 68 , in 2011) ? Well , at least Kramer and Thompson don't intimate any sort of sembalence vis-a-vis a "reunion" (Okay , the D-K-T / MC3 shows are the only exception !). Now with 3/4 of the original Stooges deceased ( Alexander , age 27 , in 1975 ; the Asheton brothers : Ron , age 61 , in 2009 ; and Scott , age 64 , in 2014 ) , how can they go-on under that nomenclature ? Maybe a rekindling of the Kill Cities type stuff can be resurrected by Pop & Williamson ...

That's a solid drop-top Cad there , Dale ! I don't typically care for Daytons ; however , your utilisation of them here just looks appropriate .

All of those T.V. programme "1972" Challenger and Barracuda convertibles were converted (or , cosmetically updated) 1971 models . Other 'phantom' 1972 convertible Chrysler 'E'-bodies which were featured in T.V. programmes : - Brady Bunch ( 340 / column-shift Torqueflite , GB5 Blue / B5 Blue interior ) - Mod Squad (340 / column-shift Torqueflite , medium gold metallic , black interior , black top , black stripes ** ) ** = the R/T model convertible was dropped by Chrysler for 1971 . The as-specified models received stripes which emulated the R/T stripes , but were a little longer in order to compensate for the lack of "R/T" callouts .

Here's some photos of my two feline companions (my children , if you will ) . 'Molly Anne McCalico' is age 12 ; 'Oliver Nathanel Hawthorne Sabastian' is age 11 .

I also feel that the backlite (technical term for "rear window") on the resin kit looks too small . Certainly , the existing casting flash could make the specific-to-the-1970-only S.E. shape appear to be too small , as could other factors ( lighting , camera angle , etc. ). It's too bad that none of the fledgling resin casters / artisans have created the coveted 1970-1971 Dodge "W11" 14" Deluxe Wheel Covers ...

That license plate number certainly has its place on a 1987 model year vehicle : "2" = "Golden State" series , passenger car "D" = 1987 calendar year issue The remaining alpha-numeric sequence is *arbitrary* . Here's What I Would Like To See ( In Regard To The Original Post ) : - 1971-come-1972 Barracuda convertible from The Brady Bunch - 1968-1969 Satellite police version (RK41-H8A / RK41-H9A) from Adam 12 - 1974 Monaco police car ( DK41-U4D ) from CHiPs , et al. - 1977 / 1978 Monaco police ( WK41-U7A / U8A ) - 1971 / 1972 Valiant Duel

GMC "Big Block" V6 and 702 "Twin-Six"
1972coronet replied to 1972coronet's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Nice Twin-Six , Pat ! -
I'll toss my hat into the ring : 1.) Newly-Tooled 1955-1957 Nomad . Perhaps even a modified-reissue of the existing tooling of the old AMT 1/16 scale kits : - New custom version tyres and wheels (those S/ST's and those nasty Good Year tyres from the original must go !) - New custom engine upgrades (the turbo is dated !) - A full compliment of decals 2.) 1970-1971 Barracuda . - Offer both a hardtop and a convertible - All 3 models ( "BH" Barracuda , "BP" Gran Coupe , and "BS" 'Cuda ) 3.) 1971-1972 Demon - 340 and big block options Harry P. alluded to European subjects : 1.) Renault R5 Turbo 2.) BMW M6 (circa 1986-1988) Alpine

Check out that wrinkled quarter panel (just-forward of the wheel arch) ! Chemical Milling has its merits ... and its downfalls .

Thanks , guys .

I was just made aware of this tragedy today ; on 6th July 2014 @ 0815 HRS , a long-time client and hell of a nice guy parished in a plane crash (he was the pilot) : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2693498/Father-49-dies-small-plane-crash-two-sons-law-widowing-wife-two-pregnant-daughters.html Eerily , my friend (and coworker ; the Assistant Manager) and his father witnessed the crash on that fateful morning , as they were boating on the lake (which I redundantly refer to as "Lake du Luc") . Apparently , my friend witnessed the "poof and plume" , completely unaware of the nature of the smoke ( ). You will be missed , Doug ! Thank you for , not only your business , but for being a hell of a great guy , too ! "See you when I get there , if they'll let me in."

Don Grotheer 1970 Cuda

Permit me to add a couple of more carrots to this stew ; here's a link to the 1974 'Body Tooling Proof' Barracuda : http://barnfinds.com/one-of-none-1974-plymouth-barracuda/ This certainly qualifies as a Body-In-White ! -
On the opposite end of that spectrum ; my dad (age 77) actually enjoys some of the music in my collection . He really likes John Cale 'Vintage Violence' (1970) , Television 'Marquee Moon' (1977) , Love ,'Forever Changes' (1967) , and Velvet Underground 'Velvet Underground' (1969) ! Your son will hopefully develop an appreiation for Dave Brubeck , etc. That kind of music takes real talent to compose , create , and perform , unlike Beiber , and his ilk .
