Edsel-Dan

The one in the pic by the Camaro IS 1/32. It is a Snap kit. Lower Left corner of the box.

The Show Car Chrome tree from the "Customizing" series Did show up again. I think either the Prestige Benz, or Avanti had it. I Think I have also seen the Tools in another AMT/MPC kit, but do not remember which I need to dig out my Silhouette to see what extra parts it came with. Base w/pen holder, Show trophys, ???? The 63 Vette Roadster had the Drag track set. TV Camera, Mega Speakers, etc.

I am surprised to see one of the rotator domes on the clear tree. I though those Hot-rod versions only had the car itself and deleted the Police parts. Wish those kits would get re-issued again I have an Old LAPD version. It only had the rack with Rotators & siren They match the design of Jo-Han's set in the 68 Fury Police Pursuit though slightly different parts. The Rotator bases are cast with the rack, while the mounts are separate. Jo-Han has the rack as 1 pc, bar & mounts. I did not get the 'Twinsonic' type bar caps. only the base & siren on the chrome tree. I did get both sets of tail lights. Nice that they are clear and not clear-red. The bench seat has a hollow back you need to cover/hide with an insert. I did find out LAPD only used the Plymouth this year, so need the Fury grill. The body, interior, chassis, etc are shared in all kits. only the grill, and evidently some issues, the police roof lights are different between kits parts wise. The Decals are the major difference. I watch for these, but the last one that stayed within my budget, the seller would not accept Postal Money Order. All others start at $45-75.oo!!

Correct. There was not a Pen or pencil included, Just the base with a holder for Your pen/pencil. All or most boxes stated that Chrome foil & White wall tires were included. The Corvair had the hollow Ralley/Sportscar tires and No whitewalls I am not sure is the tires in the Benz 300 SL Gullwing are white walled or not. I also prefer to call these White-Striped not walled. I think of 30's-50's Wide Whites when I see White wall Tire All kits had the Square sidewall Generic Firestone tire, and white stripes could be on the Named side or blank side. It was Good luck to get 1 Concentric white wall. a miracle to get all 4!!

sjordan2, Go here to get an Old version of Firefox. http://www.oldversion.com/ Mozilla Firefox is listed First under Internet. They go all the way back I see everything from 13.o2 Aurora to 0.6. So if you remember which version you had before the update, get that installer. You can try to install it to a New folder, Move the parts from the current folder into it, and then delete the one that does not work Also, Set it to Only notify you of an update. I get a pop-up telling me 12 is ready to install, but I click on the red X to close it without updating You may need to input more info, all versions shown only show m-s OS, but that does not mean they don't have mac covered too (This is one reason I Keep the Installer!! Never know when you will need it) I do the same with MicroCrap too. Not long ago this thing updated, then popped up telling me New updates were ready It got stuck in a Constant loop downloading & installing the same 3 updates I had forgotten to turn off Auto Updates when I got this one. That site is not the only one to save you from error causing or Corrupting updates. Just search Old, Older, etc Version. Some are better than others.

That Square 'Bird Nascar body is Not the same as what is wanted. That Monogram/Revell body is the Smaller 80-81. The 77-79 is longer. It Might be possible to use one as a base, but will take even More work than jut the 'Bulged' wheel well openings used to clear the race tires. 2 bodies would likely have to be grafted together to lengthen it to correct earlier spec. Plus, the different sheet metal shapes will need to be created.

Those were Original to the Kit too. It was nice AMT actually returned them to the kit for the series. I also think one or 2 of the Prestige kits had the Cutomizing series "Tools"

I did not have a Card reader slot(s) in any PC thil this Dell. I just plugged the USB cable in and turned the camera on. Like they say, ity is the same as plugging a Thumbdrive in. The PC will recognize it as an external drive/device and bring up the window "What should Windows Do" I scroll down to Open folder, and simply Move th e wanted pic's to the correct folder. I don't drag/drop, I highlight and click "Move" or 'Copy' Renaming them I only clip on the pic, then click a second time on the name. I now type what I want the file name to be. Delay the second click, And Only hit the Name of the file. It will be boxed, and white text on blue I am using an Old Sony DSC30 1.3 MP camera. I sometimes rename the pic's before I move them

I thought I read in a magazine that Seville Leased the tools from Jo-Han in 80 or later. The USA Oldies were being released as ealy as 72-4. I know, I have a few. I had 2 of the Marlin, The older purchase wasm olded in White & still had the Metal axles, while the second kit I bought was molded in a softer Red styrene, and had the heavy thick plastic axles. I need to check my kits. I have the 5 62's Dodge & Plymouth hardtops & Converts, and the 300. I bought the 63 Fury was finally re-issued in 79-81, and the 68 Cadillac Convertible Deville. Both my 64 Deville's have the plastic axles. I was surprised to see the originals had the steering last seen in the Ambulance/Hearse kits. I have an OLD ad that shows AMT made Power window cranks for Buick/GM/Aftermarket in 59. I am curious as to how many of the Kit companys did something besides promos for the Big auto industry

Gotta dig out my old 1/32 kit & restore it That's the only one I know came with Bear. Just, not sure what all I need to restore the rig besides a few of the tires, and Paint.

I didn't have that problem in any of my kits luckily. I built the Lincoln as a Stock Phantom Wagon . Woodgrain is Contact Paper with Chrome strips from a Testor's 48 Ford kit as "Woody" Surround Not all kits in the series had the base/pen holder, Or the "Mini"Chrome-foil sheet. 1 or 2 had the Trophies/Stantions from the Customizing series. I need to dig out the Avanti, Benz Gullwing, both 65 Pontiacs & Silhouette to see what they have.

Any other Nederlander's out there willing to help?

Only the second issue of the Keaton Batmobile, commemorating Batman Retuns had the Engine I have the original issue (In-progress for 20+ yrs!) No engine Wish they would re-issue the deluxe Bat2 kit again. I traded the one I had Can't believe at one time I could buy those Bat2 Kits for only $2.oo Each!! had 20+ Missile & BatSki Boat. Sold them at car shows

I haven'y uploaded in a while, so can't say. It may be a new problem. Could be due to increased accounts what with fotki's screwing members now.

Almost as bad here With Both the Ocean & the Chesapeake to draw from, Humidity is Unbearable Most of the summer Had a bit of a reprieve yesterday & today though. Only just over 77 for a high, and cloudy. Slight chance of showers. July/August temps coming in another day or two though.

Correct. No 40s kit was in that series. The Oldest being the Benz 300 Gullwing Also, the 63 Galaxie Sports Roof & 65 Lincoln were the first 2 kits in the series. I have all kits in the series, though my Corvair is Not in that box!! I have the 63 Impala, and both 65 Pontiac's started (Plus another of both Pontiac's not started) Silhouette Show Car, Avanti & Vette Roadster are not started either

The Heller kit is LESS detailed the rear axle is molded to the chassis even though the trailing arms are separate. (It is set up for batteries & motor) Mold quality is noticably poor on the Heller kit versus to Imex/Arii kit too. I have both kits The few good points on the Heller kit. Decals that the Imex/Arii kit does not have (Light lens detail for under the lenses, badges) & it has both boot cover & Up top. Though that Up top is Smoothly Polished not textured like fabric as it should be.

I am in the 100+ projects running too! Some 20+ years!! ie Prestige series #! 63 Galaxie Sports-roof Started when NEW, Still only in Primer. Matching Convertible cut from a second Prestige kit rough idea; 5 58 Edsels, 3 59's 7+ 59 Fords ?? Impala's 59-65, 67, & 70 other Galaxie's 60-66, 69, 70 61 Rancheros, 63 Falcon Futura Sprint convert, 66 Fairlanes, 15+ 67-72 Chevy?GMC Pickups I could go on!!

I am not sure when they started, but wasn't Ford the First to offer the tail-gate opening as either flip down gate or swing open door? I want to say 1970 something. Did you see my list of wished for 4dr sedans?? 67-69 Belvedere, 71 Satellite, & 73 Matador. OK Here look: 67 Belvedere Pilot ADAM-12!! 68 First Season Adam-12. 69 Second & Third Season 71 Fourth & Fifth seasons 73 Matador, Sixth, Seventh & Eighth Seasons Also seen; 67,-70 Belvedere Wagons, 71 & 72 Satellite Wagons, 73 Matador Wagon, 74 Matador 4dr Sedan Sg Mac or Lt. Command Post unit. (74 Matador sedan Malloy Command unit) 65 Belvdere's, 70/71 Mercury Monterey, 70 Dodge Coronet Sedans Backup units(Other teams) Dragnet showed us 67 Ford Customs Black & White Homicide Call car Friday & Gannon) 67 Fairlane 1-K-80 Friday/Gannon Detective unit, 67 Coronets Did I miss any?? Jo-Han's Fury though a Nice build, is Not accurate for an LAPD Cruiser.

never had one on any forum. Did not know how to make/upload one. Rather read the forums anyway

Yea, I see what you mean. And I agree on that about being PERFECT for that price. Not a Sedan, but does this count as a 4dr LeMans??

I opened the site before posting, and saw a price under both when I checked them. If they are not ready, I would not expect to see a price listed yet. Which one does not look right??

Yes it is. That and the 88-91 Crown Police version. $95.oo each though. Full kits, but High $$

Kenny Anderson, Blue Oval Resin makes some 4drs. I know the 74 LTD is available I have a 70 Impala 4dr hardtop. Just need the correct green metallic paint to duplicate our old ride. Not sure but I think it was from Ed Fluk DragCity Resin. Last one he had!!

I have No need to look on Screwtube. My account there, that gargle will not let me into is "EdselDan" All the ones with English Translations posted are MINE!!! (So long as they are All there that is[some did come up in a search]) I have All the Lyrics to the songs through last years TV Show/CD KVK-32 "Zo Bijzonder" I can send the text file to anyone helping i asked here for Human help. I have tryed those on line "Translators" but they do a Poor job at best, and some words can give them fits enough to Crash the site. My favorite one is Gone though. AltaVista/Yahoo BabelFish Believe it or not, I had some use those On-line transalators on songs I already had posted. I only posted a song After getting a translation. Due to g@@gle demanding a G account now instead of an Original Pre-existing Youtube account ID, I have Lost contact with almost all of my translation helpers. i know there are members of the Forum who are from Nederland/Netherlands/Holland. I just wanted to post this here, instead of trying to PM all/any of them for this request. thanks for the suggestions, but I need real translations, not those automated Close enough thing from online sites. (Unless you know of an On-line one that is not automated, but a Live person doing the work) Besides, there are almost 275 songs left from the group I need translated I just downloaded 318 Hi-Def clips from youtube to replace my Low res copies. (That only covered the first 25 Annual Shows-And NO Specials--This year is 33) Yes, I have at least 1 or 2 copies of the one links "Twee Vaders/Two Fathers" Also, The Copy of KVK 10 TV show I have is Subtitled in English
