Such a diverse collection of fine cars, it doesn't look like there is anything you won't build. -MJS

Beautiful job, the nicest, (and possibly only) one of these I've seen built. It's nice to see the pinstripe detail in the bumper/side trim, a detail usually overlooked on early Foxes. -MJS

These could be in most any museum. -MJS

The Model Car of My Dreams
Maindrian Pace replied to Lovefordgalaxie's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It looks like a '47 Ford in much the same way as a '47 Plymouth looks like a '47 Ford. -MJS -
92 F150

Very nice job. Clean, well detailed, and the stance and wheel placement is absolutely perfect. Tough looking truck. -MJS -

Canned Air & Clear Plastic
Maindrian Pace replied to cartpix's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Most gas dusters are Difluoroethane, which is produced by the mercury-catalyzed addition of hydrogen fluoride to acetylene. It is a refrigerant, called HFC-152a, and you can use this stuff to charge your auto A/C system instead of R-134a. Which are all good reasons to not spray it on clear plastic. -MJS -

'64 Riviera winner
Maindrian Pace replied to Baugher Garage's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Here's one that comes to the local weekend car show. It's mint, and modestly lowered on Astros and pinners. This is what you do to a classic Riv. -MJS -
Fantastic, super original, love the engine bay detailing. -MJS

Mustang 60's fastback question
Maindrian Pace replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes, all generations of fastback were available with six cylinders. -MJS -
I know that this thread is four years old, but if you have detailed your chassis to include brake and fuel lines, e-brake cables and linkages, wiring and other features, you are going to want that judge to look at the underside to determine that it's better than the car next to it with the same quality paint job and none of the underside attention. -MJS

Beautiful! -MJS

Another way of looking at kit expenditures is considering what money you use to pay for them. Money from a pay check that is budgeted for bills and the cost of living in general feels much different than using "found" money. A couple of years ago, I hauled a few old Ford C4 transmissions out of a yard for free. A couple of weeks ago, I pulled a bell housing off of one, cleaned it, bead blasted it, and put it on Craigslist for $75. It sold in one day, and was sent to Milwaukee. Seems everybody knows about the national craigslist search engines. So that's basically seventy-five bucks for free, doesn't affect the bills, bring on the Super Duty kit. -MJS

Un-butchered, 53 years later....1961 Ford Galaxie
Maindrian Pace replied to Peter Lombardo's topic in Model Cars
Great style, paint, well... everything, really. The decals are amazing, what I wouldn't do to be able to generate graphics like that. -MJS -
I hear it's going to have working SYNC with MyFord Touchâ„¢. -MJS

Thank you Mike. I've owned it for almost 27 years now. Thanks Larry. It's a 1960, first year for the Comet/Falcon. It is based on the Falcon chassis, with the wagons being the same wheelbase as the Falcon wagons and sedans at 109.5". The Comet sedans had a five inch longer wheelbase at 114.5", but their chassis was otherwise the same. My Comet 2dr wagon uses the same 1/4 panels as the Ranchero and Falcon 2dr wagon, which shows just how closely related the cars are. The midsize Fairlane, introduced in 1962, had a chassis with a similar layout, but everything was different and nothing interchanged with the Falcon/Comet. -MJS

The price may not dissuade modelers who are interested in the subject from buying them, but it will be a factor in how many they buy. Under fifty - I'll buy two. Over fifty - one. -MJS

In the original Wild Hoss issue, they were not chromed. -MJS

Detail Master Ignition Wire
Maindrian Pace replied to Quick GMC's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Here is their standard gray wire. In the package, it does look a little thin, but on a stocker, it looks right. -MJS
