It was almost a year ago that I bought a kit at the local store, and they haven't had any in stock for over 6 months. Not sure how they distribute the models to the stores, but this one has only the really small die cast toys.

Great looking paint finish and color. Like the interior details and the Crager wheels were almost considered standard equipment on MoPars at that time.
-
Great looking engine detailing.

The Overland Park Kansas Ollie's doesn't carry kits any longer.

Getting ready for the old rooter router myself. The doc wants to do top and bottom so he can shake hands in the middle. I will be sedated.

Detroit Area Auto Modelers Show, Sunday, March 23, Warren, Michigan

Please post any photos you get for those of us that are too far away to attend. -
Thanks Tom. The Moebius kits tend to have really well detailed chassis, engines and interiors. They also tend to require watching your fit and finish. I try and keep the instructions close by since I have caught myself deviating from their suggested assembly and found myself having to go back and correct things that I wouldn't have had to deal with if I had followed their instructions.

Beautiful looking Luxo Cruiser. Great paint finish and the chrome trim on the rear quarters and the roof sale panels look good.
-
Great looking paint finish and color. Like the stance and the wide whites. Good looking engine setup.
-
Like the scallop and pinstriping paint style as well.

They make so much more money selling us F150's.

Maybe that sense they only race for a 1/4 mile in a straight line any additional drag from a spoiler may be counterproductive. As for your Henry, if you like it, so what put it on there.

I guess that's what you do if you have more winter than summer. Looks like a good cure for Cabin Feaver.

First day in the better part of a week with temps out of the sub-zero range. High today is supposed to be 10 degrees, and they have even promised some sun, maybe. Supposed to get into the lower 50's next week, what the heck is going on? Well, I got the cushions for the patio chairs ready anyway just in case.

I have done one or two in the past. They were actually wrong on a couple of the models, and it was obvious that they were wrong.

Hi Bob, The interior was done with TS-68 Wooden Deck Tan, and the seat and door trim designs were done with Tamiya Brown panel line accent. I dusted the interior with a flat clear to look more like a vinyl and cloth interior. The dash and upper doors were painted the same Testors Bronze color to match the body. Used some beige flocking for the floor and rear package tray.

Great looking build and like the fresh mud.

Great looking interior. -
As long as the oil pan clears the ground it should be good. It's only plastic so it doesn't really matter but having owned a few Fords with the '32 style cross members and driveshaft tubes long ago the angle of the driveshaft too transmission angle catches my eye. I like how you have created your chassis and suspension here.
-
Other than the upper radiator hoses are there any other reasons for lowering the engine as you have it mocked up now? My thought is that if everything else is fitting the way you want it, maybe just make a couple of stubs for the radiator hoses to mount too and use some tubing or wire for the hoses.
-
Where was this model and the packaging made? There are some parts of the world that may not know the difference between a Ford and a Chevrolet or even be able to understand the writing on the packaging. On the other hand, hang on to this since I'm sure it will become a sought-after collectable for its unique packaging.

Like the color and the red wheels & wide whites look perfect on this.

Like the way you are honoring your friend and his memory.

Your experience was better than most in that case. The few trades that I have been involved in have all arrived just fine and mine going out were received in the same condition. In those cases, we used some sort of outer boxing that protected the kit. But I still see many others here that seem to have this problem, and it seems that every time the shipment was sent with minimal outside protection and that is why I even bring this up.
