Super clean build, and quite fortunate that Pegasus made the exact wheels for the replica. That about never happens... -MJS

Sure is nice, and the color is fantastic. -MJS

The '63 Advanced Custom Mercury kits had those taillights as well. -MJS

I don't know of any high end diecast cars ever manufactured in the US, they have been made somewhere else pretty much since the beginning, even the low end toy variety. How much more would it cost to make them here? I think we all know the answer to that, way too much for any meaningful sales. Too many reasons that we are all aware of, so the obvious answer is to find another source of cheap labor and no unions/pensions/401Ks paid holidays etc. to have to worry about - and quit giving China more cash for their already huge war machine. It's the American way. -MJS

Sad, but it sounds like almost exactly what happened to GMP and Biante. It's the cost of doing cheap business with the Chi-coms. -MJS

MPC sorta did a King Cobra kit in '78, but it was obviously an IMSA styled car. This could be where the confusion comes from. Here is one converted from several M-II kits, with lots of scratch building. I don't know who the builder is, but it's spot-on. -MJS

Great fix on the banana bend! -MJS

Great job, love the cleanliness of the build, engine and the seat belts. Only thing that stands out; that car would need a set of long tube headers pretty badly with the iron lung. -MJS

Correct, 3 different two door closed roof styles, or four if you include the Skyliner retractable hard top. -MJS

The Club Sedan had a longer wheelbase than the Custom, and had a completely different roof line. Why Ford had two different two door post sedans is something of a mystery, but they sure did sell them all. Adding a pillar to the Fairlane 500 would get you much closer to a Club Sedan. The Custom chassis would most likely have to be lengthened to fit the Fairlane body. -MJS

GMG's Apache was nice, except it was three different colors. -MJS

18 bucks is too much to pay for a master? -MJS

Very nice Ford! -MJS

Pep Boys has about a 1/2 Wal Mart selection; Streetburners, a couple of snap kits, and some hokey foam paper "kits". Nothing remarkable. All the glue kits are $19.95. -MJS

I'm on a Mac with Firefox. No problems posting, no SQL errors, but a bit slow; although infrequently. These problems can be a real drag. -MJS

-MJS

I tried the new version for a couple of days, didn't see much advantage as I don't need the new features it has, so I switched back to the old version. I use Firefox, but when that gets cranky on a web site, I use Chrome on it. -MJS

Very nice, reminds me a lot of a car a friend had in high school, an '80 Olds Omega 2 dr notchback in the same or nearly the same color. Almost the same car, really. His drove nicely, and was actually a good car until he wrecked it a few years later. -MJS

I'll hit one when the price goes down. Maybe two... -MJS

It's great! -MJS

-MJS

The Model S is the first electric car that is truly compelling to me. All American too, they even mold their own plastic body and interior parts. I don't entirely disagree with this choice. -MJS

Not a surprise, Barris was always a business man first, and a customizer second. He's even taken credit for several cars that he had nothing to do with, when money and/or recognition is involved. -MJS

Wow, never seen such a quality 4-eye collection. Very nice fleet he's got there. -MJS
