  1. Nice job. The weathering is right on. Reminds me of the old farm trucks that were around when I was a kid.
  2. There is a deep sump oil pan for the SOHC 427 Ford in the AMT '68 Shelby and I believe, the '66 Galaxie. Both are not hard to find and cheap. If you check on ebay, one of the parts guys might have one or a whole motor.
  3. Look's great!
  4. I am not a big truck builder, but I had one that I ruined as a kid. I might get one for nostalgia.
  5. Great resto! Nice updates and the color is really nice! I like the wheels too.
  6. Super job! Nicest build of that model I have ever seen!
  7. They are usually common kits that have been done a bunch of times, so I think they can turn a profit on them even with the licensing fees. I agree that they mostly appeal to the collectors market. I doubt they are jacked up price wise at model shows and if they are, they wouldn't sell.
  8. Wow! Nice build. We had a green '72, I will eventually build a model of it based on memory. I can't seem to find any family pics of it. I think my dad only had it for a few years. The Ford was used and he bought a new Dodge in 1978.
  9. I am sure you could put the '65 wheels on a '66 if you wanted. I know there were some things carried over on the early '66 cars from the '65s. Whose to say you couldn't have a set of those wheels? These cars were a little more personalized than factory built stuff. I agree they are way nicer than the 10 spoke ones.
  10. Look's great so far!
  11. Nice job!
  12. I usually listen to The Jim and Sam show or Bennington, which are on XM/Sirius. I listen to them on youtube through my laptop for free. I also like Marc Maron and Jim Florentine's podcasts.
  13. I agree, I don't know him and I am not doing a commercial for him, but he is top notch! Hope to see those motors built and in your "shop"!
  14. Can't pick just one, LOL!
  15. Here are some of my favorites: Street Rodder and Neet Streeter are my favorites from when I was a kid, and Pass'n Gasser and the '55 Gasser are pretty cool newer castings.
  16. More engines: Ah, I see you found topgaskz , he's my go to guy for parts on ebay. I recognize the packaging. I have a few thing arriving from him in a day or two!
  17. Great work, love the B and R model Macks! They made them in my neck of the woods, so they were every where when I was a kid. Now not so much, lol!

    '78 Firebird

    Great looking Firebird. Love the wheels, nice color too!
  19. Very nice job! You nailed the look perfectly. Those Acme/GMP kits are nice, but not easy!!
