  1. I remember a shipment once. It got to Baltimore and from there Should have gone to the Local center, or even My Post office. Instead, went to New York State!!! What I should have received the next day or day after, took another 2 weeks!!! Last few times I had something coming, they did not have a tracking code.
  2. It could be possible they used the AMT kit as a master. I don't have the shortbox 454/SS Sport, only the Longbox Silverado, so can't say Don't have the Testor's kit either
  3. Do you have the Cuda labeled as either a Challenger or Charger?? Think it was only called Charger, but would have been more accurate as a Challenger I have one marked Charger. All they did was add a second set of head lights to the grill of the Cuda! And yea, I have the Benz too. Should have 5 or 6 of the Motorcycle out of the El Camino, but, so small..........................
  4. Those 4 1/32 kits are actually smaller than scale!! I have all of them. The Dodge Charger & Chrysler Cordoba are larger. I think the 77 T-Bird was also closer to scale, but I don't have one to compare. And Yes, that Pickup Is the Testor's Boyd Hauler. I believe some one here said all Plastic tooling went with J Loyd, when they separated from Testor's.
  5. As stated in the Review, the Box only shows 4 tires Total on the bottom Also, Round2 is thinking about altering the kit to include 4 Stock Skinny's, and offering buyers the additional 2 for a request
  6. I don't have the Chapparal, but can tell you it is a TOY! Body is rubbery/delrin type plastic. I do have 2 others in that Track-Star series.
  7. Bill Engvall does "Here's Your Sign" Jeff does "You Might Be A Redneck................" Both are part of "Blue Collar Comedy" with Larry The Cable Guy, & Ron White.
  8. I have a few of the MPC 1/20 scale Ford Econoline van, and the Sirens, and Rotator light in the Ambulnce fit 1/24-1/25 scale fine. They did almost look small on the Econoline though That is one I would want if they re-issued it and back-dated it to one of the 70's annual versions (Or even the Ironsides)
  9. Hate to do this, But, That 'Package Tray' is actually the Pocket where the Soft top will go when Down, and is covered by the Boot!! Otherwise, Looking good. And for anyone interested, The Heller/Lee Boot cover will fit the IMEX/Arii body nicely!! I have both kits and tested this earlier today.
  10. I found One box lot of them. Not a bad staring price, but must bid by at least $3.oo increments.
  11. Maybe they need the sign and lights farther in front of the bridge!! Or add a Loud Siren/Horn that even states something like "You are Too Tall to pass" Or maybe a crossing gate like at a Rail crossing activated by the height sensor. Or change the lights to Red!!!
  12. The Movie was "High Ballin' " and stared BOTH Jerry Reed & Peter Fonda!!! Iron Duke was Jerry's CB handle!!! I also have the Paperback!!!! Wish it was on DVD now! I do have the copy I taped, but no working VHS!! They were hauling a car carrier full of cars. They made it under, but still ended up loosing the load.
  13. The rear suspension on those is a little newer than the 1950. It is from the 60's trucks., and is not really 4 link is it?
  14. That looks more like those Modern High Deck buses with increased baggage storage underneath. Not a Double decker, (Only one set of Windows) I saw this. Had links from both mail, & yahoo. and there was another similar at an Airport or Casino where the bus driver made a wrong turn
  15. Maybe it is a good thing I am using XP. Not having any problems here. Except last month when the site was down. I always thought I was right not to Down-grade to vista/7, etc!!!
  16. Yea, I have 2 of the Baywatch Pickup & one of the Michigan State Police Jeep Cherokee. Only problem with either, I need to replace a few parts for the Jeep. They were mis-molded/Short-short.
  17. Forgot something, There are some Good Hawk items. They had the 'Washington Mint' series diecast. (Probably the Testor's Lincoln mint line) I saw a few I wanted. 66/67 Charger, 49/50 Mercury Convertible Some were in Kit form too. Too bad about the 'New IMC' I really wanted the 3 car kits they were suppose to start with.
  18. Don't you mean, "Only Boat Owners Slice Their Boats" on his bridge?? Not a Bridge, but at the church right out my front door, we had Not 1 but 2 Drivers hit the Overhang at the front door with in one month!! One was a U-Haul Rental!! Hate to see his return fees!!! They did not knock it down, but did push it off angle. It now has Warning signs on both sides warning of the height limit!!
  19. I Like this, Hopefully many of the good kits will get re-issued. I would Not be surprised to see the IMC label again with this news. The Dodge L700 still has that logo on the Mud flaps!! At least the ones I have do! On that subject, What ever happened to the "New" IMC????
  20. Right now I don't have one. I use one of the generic 'micro' pics included for that. The Hillside landscape.
  21. The "Gear Hustler" issue of AMT's 65 El Camino had a "Six-Pack" of cans. You could mark them as soda or bear. The AMT Connoisseur & MPC Gangbusters issued of the Lincoln Sport Touring had 2 Cases with 12 clear 'Glass' bottles as well as an 'Alky' can I am not sure if any other kits had similar items.
  22. I would like to find these too. We had a White one with Blue interior. think it was an 86. Gave it to a friend a couple years ago, but he could not get it running again
  23. 91 Dodge Dynasty. Want to trade it in for something new. Transmission acting up Again! Anyone know where I can get a Good 58 or 59 EDSEL!!!!!!!
  24. The Heller kit is a Cheap copy of this one, The Big difference is that the rear axle is cast as part of the chassis, while the trailing arms and Metal Springs are separate. It is designed for a battery operated motor!! Yes, I can let you have to Boot cover. Not sure how long before I can send it though. Unemployment Stinks!!!!
