  1. I like your "refreshment dispensers". The only other place I have seen those is all-inclusive resorts in Mexico.
  2. Hopefully that is because the 1:1 dealers had enough taste to not order sportsroofs with them?
  3. I didn't hear that about a Salvino's Roadrunner. Seems like a natural for them. I have the remains of an MPC Petty Roadrunner that I was wondering how easy it would be to update it with a Salvino's chassis.
  4. Thanks Kevin. I ordered a set last night.
  5. Two questions: 1. Has anyone tried to mate (can you say this on the forum?) an old MPC Petty Roadrunner body with a Salvino's Charger frame, engine, etc? We all know that the original MPC stuff wasn't that great. 2. Does anybody make reproduction decals for said Petty Roadrunner? Thanks!
  6. of lacy underpants
  7. With any luck, we will get an additional Mach 1 variant from Revell eventually with the Boss 351 rebranded as a 351C and/or another Mach 1 variant with the 429. Keeping my fingers crossed.....
  8. Sorry, I thought we were talking about the 3D printed Lightning wheels.
  9. Fozzie's Studebaker gasser
  10. Yeah, IIRC "Corporate Blue" came out in 1977. A neighbor was so upset that he might get a Chevy engine in his Cutlass wagon they ordered the 403 instead of the 350. I don't think that Mr. Day was smart enough to come up with that idea on his own, he may have been coached by a neighbor lad......
  11. No. This is one of my "go-tos" for Chevelle info. My boss has a 1970 SS454 HT that "had" a green interior (now black), so I suspect green as an interior choice came later than 1968. http://chevellestuff.net/1968/exterior-interior.htm
  12. Blue = 455 Gold = 350 That's all I need..... (For 70-72 anyway)
  13. This is also a power steering component. It is the pitman arm mounted control valve that is connected to the ram (that you removed) with the left- and right-turn hoses. A manual steering center link will be connected directly to the pitman arm here. I love all these race cars you build. They are among my favorite 1:1s and you certainly do them justice with your builds. Center link for manual steering: Center link for power steering with provision for the control valve:
  14. We visited Magic Hat in 2016 when we were in Burlington. I like most all fruity IPAs and tend to switch it up. My local grocery store carries Citrus Mistress by Hop Valley in Oregon. There are a few other NorCal locals by Auburn Alehouse and Device that I buy as well.
  15. I have a couple of Joel's engines and they are nice.
  16. This is my regulator, filter, and trap setup. I have had the airbrush, hose, and trap for probably 40 years.
  17. I got this from my boss a while back for pennies on the dollar. I previously had an El Cheapo that sounded like someone was jackhammering the driveway. It's perfect for car and bike tires and the airbrush. And it's amazingly quiet.
  18. IF they did a Vista Cruiser, a 69 would probably be more successful than a 70, sales-wise if they did a That 70's Show tie-in. But I like the 70 the best.
  19. Pat, I wasn't aware that you sold the Chevy.
