  1. Love it! One of my favorite kits!
  2. FWIW, that kit is very basic and is either snap together or snap based. It originally had plastic tires, it probably still will.
  3. Fwiw, any of the AMT Trophy Series Ford custom engines are pretty much drop in swaps. The '32 roadster has a hemi, the '32 Coupe has a pretty crappy smbc, The '34 pickup has an FE Ford, the '25 T has a Lincoln "sort of", The '36 has a Pontiac and the '40 sedan has an Olds. I really don't like Nailheads, so mine will get the Pontiac or Olds engine.....
  4. Wow! Great job! Nice use of aftermarket hubcaps and the color is perfect for that style Mustang.
  5. Wow! Both of those are very nice! The '62 looks good with those wheels. Nice stance too!
  6. Just finished a trade with Zippi, great to deal with, everything went very well!
  7. Cool! Those wheels look really good!
  8. I love old hot rod Fords, but after seeing this video, gonna pass on this one. Life is too short and I have plenty of vintage Trophy Series and modern Revell '32's.
  9. Nice job on both!
  10. Super job! Everything is dead on!
  11. Sorry for your loss. Here is a fotki album of your dad's models that he posted on here. https://public.fotki.com/larman/model-cars-by-model/
  12. I believe the block and trans are the same as the original issue. That was supposed to be a 265 with a 3 spd standard trans.
  13. Was the obit AI generated? I didn't even know that was a thing! If a person did it, what a cruel and miserable thing to do........
  14. That's kool! What a great idea! I still regret selling my original Big Tub......
  15. Outstanding job! This is the nicest stock build of this kit I have seen!
  16. Looks like they got the International COE and not just the trailer, that is a really nice kit!
  17. They had those at the Palm Bay store.
  18. Here's what they have at the Palm Bay, FL. store, they are not all in one place : (The Mail Truck and the Rat Fink Trailer are priced $19.99)
  19. Great build! Nice stance and the engine looks really good!
  20. I am not sure if it was or not. My Nephew said the RF trailer in Pa. was $20.
  21. I also checked the Merritt Island. Fl. store, this is what was there: Also, my nephew called me yesterday while he was at the Ollie's on Tilghman St. in Allentown, Pa. It looks like they got about the same as what is pictured above, but he said they also had the Fruehauf Ratfink trailer, 1/32 '32 Ford coupe, Concorde Slammer and Coca Cola '41 Plymouth. It seems likely that we may see more kits between now and Christmas, I guess we will see! FWIW, as a public service message, I bought the Groove Boss last time I was at Ollie's and even for parts, it is a turd of a kit IMO. I guess there are $13 worth of parts, but I don't recommend this kit unless you really love circle track cars and even then, I don't think there is too much that is correct about it.
  22. Was out and about today and checked the Melbourne , FL. store and these were there this afternoon:
  23. Wow! Excellent job! Great color and all the mods are really well done!
