Moebius is just killing it, aren't they? -MJS

Interesting selection of cars there, including a Renwal Revival car.

Fantastic, and all Ferd to boot. What's not to like? -MJS

Roger, it's going to be metallic blue and silver. Always my favorite combo on these.

Amazing, looks more like a lake job than a field job.

Super sharp and nice build, great detailing and BMF'ing. I hope my grille comes out 85% as nice. -MJS

Exhaust: The transfer case and front drive shaft made it near-impossible to route a clean dual system and not have it hang too low on the left, so I made a 2 to 1 single system with parts box exhaust parts and a 3" sprue tailpipe. The exit ahead of the rear wheel is standard off-road configuration. -MJS

Why didn't I think of leaving the rear chassis screws loose to make a sort of "hinge"? Pure genius. -MJS

Pfffft. 800 million. Where do they get amounts like this? I say step up with a cool Billion, and then Bob'll climb on board.

Alan Raab - Ma's Resin. http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/truck-tires--wheels/off-road--pickup-tires/ I heard that he took some time off(?) Hopefully he's back at it because his products are very nice. -MJS

That is really cute!

I've been wondering why someone didn't do this for years now.

Amazing little build, best bare steel interior I've ever seen, (I can't get over the inside door handle linkage rods) and one of the best interiors period.

How is the hood supposed to close on that gasser Ranchero?

$224 with two hours to go...

Someone really needs to build that, just so we can see what one looks like actually assembled. -MJS

I vote for the Citation, but with a twist, a notchvember-busting conversion to a hatchback. X-11, White with red graphics just like the neighbor's car back in '81, and just like one of my favorite Hotwheels in the collection. So cool. One of the 1:1 projects in the back of my mind (that I will likely never have the chance to do) is that exact car with a Caddy Northstar engine swapped in, otherwise stock appearing. -MJS

Who doesn't like a classic 23 window bus. Beautiful. -MJS

I must have missed that, because they zapped the thread. Darn, I love a good fraud. -MJS

Thanks Mike. I've got two of the Trumpeter Rancheros, and one will be a replica of mine some day. You're right, it will take a lot of kitbashing and part replacing to make it look even close to the 1:1. The Flinstone delivery is close, but the rear pillars of the roof are too upright, they need to be leaned forward at the top about 1.5 mm by the looks of it. The length and width could require some adjusting too. -Mike

Yes, he showed the conversion on a few sets of bed sides some time ago, all long beds with the original lower trim, said he still needed to do the inner panels, and that was the most recent update. -Mike

Roger, It was easy! I got them about 25 years ago from a club member who bought in bulk and sold at the meetings. I think they were 4 bucks. I'm a real pack rat. I suppose that doesn't help you much... But I know that one of the casters who posts here reproduces them in black flexible urethane rubber.

My Father bought a red '86 351 Eddie Bauer brand new, it was one of my favorite family vehicles of all time. Before my brother rolled it in the desert north of Phoenix. I'm still mad at him. -MJS
