Austin T

This looks like the beginning of a great model.

Don't forget about the sweet gangbusters kits from MPC,the 32 Chrysler even comes with a vintage Harley!

I love the 72' Ranchero's and really want this kit,Any color ideas?

I think this will be amusing to see the Porsche purists get their panties in a wad over a chopped and slamed Thoroughbred.I'm in man,pull out the exacto blade and start chopping.

I like the opening on both cannonball run movies, every time I see it I feel that theme song should be "I can't drive 55". And who can forget,even if they want to,the theme song for the movie "Convoy"?

New desktop background,Models would sell so much better in my opinion if they had box art like this.

I have always thought of it as a cool looking car,but didn't flop as a race car?I heard that they were not very reliable.Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought low riders were supposed to go low'n'slow like it says in the song.I agree save the viper engine for an old Mopar.

I have a vandal issue of the mini bike (The same as this one) and I'm almost finished,just need to Alclad the wheels.

What kit is that?The fujimi or aoshima one?I love the Idea and might have to tweak it a little.

I think this is the use of a GL kit Danno will approve of,I kinda like the idea of it,reminds me of an old video game called "Flat Out".

I love the old ranchero's I found one outside of town that's a pastel yellow and has flames on it for sale,even the tear drop hood.No engine so it ain't gonna be my first car.

Great build up,this is one of my favorite TD designs right next to fire cracker and Troublemaker.Didn't this kit come with a mini bike?

That's exactly what I think of to,Both companies had some duds and amazing things,and both companies items are highly sought after.Kinda wish someone would bring both companies back,could you imagine a 2012 Javelin? Speaking of the Javelin,what ever happened to the molds for it and the AMX?Lost in the Bermuda triangle?I can see all the old Jo-Han molds chilling at the bottom of the sea with ufo's, Cessna's and flight 19.

I want a marlin soooo bad and I know a guy with one but I don't think he'd sell it.

What kit did the v-12 come from?Awesome idea by the way.

To be honest I have a similar problem with losing threads to and I type in a keyword like Rambler and it pulls up threads about midget racers and Camaro's.Not a big fan of the search engine here,Kinda wish it would scan the first post and title,not everything.

Yes those are the ones!The one I saw was the GTX.I kinda wish someone blew these up and made posters of them.I know that someone makes Tom Daniel's tin signs,Saw it in this expensive hot rod stuff catalog.

I have the Minibike as well and it is a Honda Trail 70.It's not a dirt bike but trust me it does just fine off road,I have a real one. The model is pretty accurate except for a few things,The seat is a little off and the tail light/plate bracket are a little small and the speedometer is connected to the head light like the Dax,The European version that was marketed.And of course there were several different styles of tail pipes for the bike.I will be building one soon but I'm currently working on the vandal mini bike A.K.A. The Taco Burrito.If anyone needs reference pic's I'm willing to help someone out.

Looks great,where's the gas cap though?Just thought I would remind you as I did the same thing to on a 72 chevy.

There was one that I want to say was like a Jo-han Super bird or road runner that was doing a burnout and had cool retro rainbow smoke coming from the tires.

If you want a name for it and since it's a mouse you should call it "Speedy Gonzalez"

I kinda love/hate the wheels,I love the way they look and I hate how delicate they are in real life.Great job.

Almost any of the old AMT kit boxes are gorgeous.Also lots of the old AMT semi's.

Man that bike looks like it would be a beast at the strip,Is it based off of the parts pack bikes from forever ago.
