  1. A life well lived and a rest well deserved.
  2. Ol' Man Ford wanted to use soy bean made plastics for car panels, He even demostrated the the amount of abuse the trunk lid could take. Now Case IH is using panels on their tractors and combines to reduce weight and add longer lastic panels that don't rust. They even proved how derable the panels are by droping bowling balls on them. Flexed and no scratches.
  3. While watching repeats of the Incredible Hulk on Esquire today an epiosde which i did not get the name of Used both the red car and the truck w/trailer from the movie duel. Yep they were the same vehicals they even used the scean from the movie when the car was ran off the road and sideswiped the white fence. The story on The incerdible halk goes like this , A female trucker steals back her truck and trailer that was high jacked from her( enter the old Peterbilt and tanker) she used david as a distraction to steal it back. David manages to get in the truck with her and she tells him her story. The Red car takes chase and ends up in the fence. Later the highjakers steal the truck back , David sees this and hot wires the red car and goes to get her back. He becomes the Hulk and gets the woman free, She ends up takeing the red car and finds David after he changed back. Another scean For duel comes into play, Yep the radiator hose blowing one. The episode name was never give a trucker and even break, and most likely can be on youtube for anyone to see.
  4. I would love to do that, But For some reason I just can't get them to post from photobucket.
  5. Go to my Profile and hit gallery.
  6. You just have to go to my profile and then hit my gallery.
  7. The mirror is from the AMT chevy van kit, I added it because every real Prostar I have seen has them.
  8. Thank's glad you liked it.
  9. I wish GM would have made this for real. The model is kitbashed from a 96 impala ss and the Alternomad. The body is the impala ss while the is from the alternomad kit. I cut the roof off of the SS along the top door seem's. I know it's not the best, But it was my first true atempt do do such a kit. Also my first time to do putty work. The Pictures are in my Profile Gallery , just go to my Profile and check the gallery and enjoy.
  10. Put Pictures in my Profile Gallery 03-28-15
  11. Funny I thought someone would bring up the "Brady bunch" about this long roof. Maybe you should make another to cast in resin, I think quite a few of us Station wagon lovers would like to have one. Be it a Ford,GM or Mopar there aren't enough wagon kit's out there. I myself took a Impala SS(1996) and kit bashed it with the alternomad kit to make a Impala SS wagon.
  12. The 3rd Prostar+ that I built at Christmas time. Can be seen on my gallery on my profile page. ( I built two others at diffrent times months apart. the first one which is my main pic. The second is a light blue, and #3 Red and Silver.
  13. I give up! I tried to post pictures several times in vain and get nothing. It would be easier if you could just post direct from your computer's picture 's......
  14. Sad that this kit is so rare now and will never be reissued. It remains in my collection along with 4 Transtar II's 8 4300's ,1 4200(4270) 4 S-seies(F-2575 &2674's, 3 Paystar 5000's, 3 ProStar +, and 1 Lonestar. Not to mention a payhauler 350, and 6 scout II's, among the KW's, Peterbilt's,GMC/Chevrolet, a Freightliner, a White, And a dimond reo. I have a truck stop I guess.
  15. Funny thing It went back home to Canada.
  16. How do I post pictures from my photo bucket account to this forum. I checked greg's Youtube video but the sound was so low it could not be herd. I had my volume at 100% so I just need a full discription of how to do this.

  24. Looks to me it would be easy to change the 76 ventura into a 74. If I rembember mpc did a 75 ventura kit as well with the "shaker option" and GTO decal's , But they are rare to find on the market. I know that they made 75-77 ventura models and the 72/73
