  1. I was on the "notify" list at Burbank's, and they did get some. I ultimately decided not to order one when I received the notification.
  2. John, I would direct these questions to MCW. Their site seems to be almost completely lacking in product use information. I have never purchased from them, but are their paints supposed to be ready to spray or ??
  3. Day 2 is how I like to build my musclecar models, with aftermarket wheels and ignition parts.
  4. But it would be in Modeler's Hades. You could have all the MPC 67 GTOs you wanted, but there would be no Revell '66 GTOs to rob parts from.
  5. Dave's was an earlier build than mine. His quarter panels were different, with stamped indents so that the marker was semi-flush. Mine just had two holes. The marker was actually a Cougar part. "Officially" they made the change on 2/15/1968, but I find it hard to believe that all three body styles and all three plants switched over on the same day. Fun fact: The Revell fastback has the earlier marker which is correct if you build it as the Cobra Jet drag car. All of the "street" Cobra Jet GTs were built after the changeover, so they should have the Cougar marker.
  6. A not-so-tall filter and a Mustang Boss 429 scoop?
  7. https://www.thefamilyparmelee.com/o-obits1997.html
  8. The shape of the top of the quarter panel is different between the coupe/convertible and fastback as well. It's not just the roof. Former owner of a '68 coupe myself, I would love a kit!
  9. I think the FHP color is more of a tan than the "warm white" of the Tamiya paint.
  10. What tires does the current '88 Mustang kit have?
  11. I thought Volvo drivers were too stodgy and proper for that kind of nonsense 😉
  12. It only has the NASCAR interior. The one I have came with a stock grille and headlamps with separate blockoff plates for the headlamps and a grille insert. There aren't any red lenses, only chrome fillers for the stock bumper. The body of mine is stock, complete with the bodyside moldings, but it has the standard flat hood instead of the Gran Torino Sport hood.
  13. Cuisine Rapide was a PBS show we enjoyed watching, and we were amused by Pierre Franey's accent. (To this day, we call white pepper, "white paper".)
  14. Wasabi is a poor substitute for Preparation-H.
  15. I generally don't build drag cars, but Scott also offers upper shock mounts for the AMT 66 Fairlanes (the kit towers are flat where the upper shock mount should be). I ordered several pairs from him a while back. Parts were nice, communication was excellent. I agree that he is a great guy to do business with.
  16. Kilter is where Les gets his clothing made.
  17. Some of the older kits have some nasty ejector pin marks on the floor. I find that embossing powder is easier than dealing with them 🙂
  18. I think you actually need a Rochester 2GC, not a Carter. https://nationalcarburetors.com/Pontiac-1961-1967-326-389-400-Rochester-2GC_p_868.html
