  1. Received the short bed 1960 and 1963 F-100 conversions from Best Model Car Parts (along with some gauges) yesterday. They have the normal flashed-over openings, but it is tissue-paper thin. Very little flash elsewhere. Very clean castings overall.
  2. Connie kit, porthole top, and air vent in the fender make it the '56. Thanks for posting the instructions. I never had this kit and didn't realize how detailed it is.
  3. At least with him selling on eBay now, there may be some chance that he actually fulfils orders.
  4. Best Model Car Parts on eBay offers a shortbed '63 body and frame, as well as a short box and frame for the '60. I haven't purchased resin from Michael before, but it looks very nice. I ordered both last night and will share with you guys when I receive them.
  5. used parental insurance
  6. Premiums (like toy cars) used to be in cereal boxes, but alas no more.
  7. best gluebomb category
  8. It may be hearsay, but I heard the same thing although I forgot the source. It isn't that Goodyear won't license the name, it was because they no longer own it. They probably don't own most of their other non-current tire names either.
  9. A few years ago I attended a charity fundraiser that served catered Mexican food. I ordered the lengua tacos, and the caterer (Latina) looked at me (white guy) and asked if I knew what it was. I answered, "Yes, beef tongue." She seemed relieved, and made my plate. I must admit that I haven't had them since, but I would definitely eat them again if they were on the menu. (Not my actual tacos)
  10. Reason is a predisposition for fish fondling.
  11. Alive should be oysters when purchased at the fishmonger's
  12. Like the cop palming the steering wheel in the Tahoe?
  13. I mocked one of these up with the '60 F100 chassis. If one was to use the Starliner transmission, the trans crossmember would have to be moved back a BUNCH. An easier solution would be to graft the 352 to the blobular transmission from the F100 kit.
  14. Please visit me in prison when I am convicted of copyright infringement, and maybe contribute to my commissary fund, LOL. Glad I could help.
  15. Sorry for the booger on the white, but I think you need the black anyway. Need to clean my platen glass, LOL.
  16. See my post in your other thread.
  17. I don't like to poop on the model kit companies that post on here, but it doesn't really look like a '65 Comet under the hood or under the car either. It looks like a cribbed version of the AMT/Ertl '66 Fairlane which has a bunch of errors itself, plus not looking like a '65 Comet either. I have the '66 4x4 pickup in my stash. It looks mostly unwarped, but it may be the only Mobius kit that I ever buy. Agree on their subject matter being needed in the hobby, but the execution of the Ford trucks, the Comets, and the Novas misses the mark by a bunch.
  18. So, I bought a kit this morning while I was sleeping. When I was selling, I tried to end my auctions on Saturday or Sunday afternoons when bidders in the U.S. had time to compete with one another. This seller decided to end a bunch of their auctions at 6:00 AM PDT on Sunday morning. I had been watching this kit for a few days, and it had seemed to be not attracting much interest other than the first two bids. I launched a bid around 11:30 PM Saturday night and went to sleep. I woke up around 4:00 AM, and I was the high bidder at around $10 under my max bid. Woke up again around 6:15 and paid for my purchase. There had been no other higher bids. I think this kit may be worth $65-70, but I got it for $26 due to the seller not thinking about their ending time. Yay me ?
