Saw at the Subaru Dealer
Jim B replied to Jim B's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'm pretty sure the snow we get here in Syracuse might be part of the reason for the trade. The car only has 15000 miles (~24140km), and can be yours for the low price of $79,000. I agree with you on the grill as I'm not a fan either. I much prefer the look of the BMW M8 to the M4. -
You never know what you'll see at the Subaru dealer. According to the salesperson, this 2022 BMW M4 Competition was traded in for a 2025 Subaru Outback.

Correcting the AMT Ford C-Series?
Jim B replied to Jim B's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Ok, so maybe it's not a "hot mess", would "identity crisis" be more accurate? 😁 Now, all jokes aside, I am planning on building this truck, or something similar: I can't read the badging on the door, but I'm guessing that it's either a C800 or a C900. I don't think it's a C9000, but I guess it could be. Would the rear axle & springs from the AMT C600 City Delivery kit be correct, or correct enough, for this build? Also, the C800 came with either a 361 or 391 VH V8, would the 390 from the Moebius kit look like the correct engine? -
So, as I understand it, the AMT Ford C600 is a hot mess if you want to make it accurate, or at lease semi-accurate. I know the engine is a 534 cu. in. SD V8 (or at least it's supposed to be), which was only available in the C900 & CT900 as an option, and the bucket seats were only available in the C9000. So, in order to make a C600, I know I will have to swap the 534 out with either a 300 HD I6, a 330 HD V8, or a 361 HD V8, and source a bench seat from someplace. Oddly the C600 came standard with 6-hole disks (7.50x20) with cast spokes as an option (9.00x20), so I might need smaller tires, too, like from a pick-up truck. But what about the rear axle? I'm not sure what comes in the kit, and if it's the same one that's in the C900 tractor kit. Also, the cab has logos for "C800", so go figure. Speaking of the C900, in addition to sourcing a bench seat & cab logos (no idea where I'd get those), would I need to beef-up the rear axle & springs?

Nice looking Comet. Well done. -
Still looking for these without any success. I even tried Cults3D, but no luck. Also, in case you're curious, I have had no response from Round2. Didn't really expect one, but it would have been nice.
