  1. I actually found this site while searching for 1961+ Edsel designs. I absolutely love Edsels and want to try and build some "what ifs" of if the line continued. First up is a 60-61 Edsel Comet.
  2. ^Hey, my CAT work boots are the best I've had so far...
  3. The 67 Continental in Hit and Run is actually the star's (Dak Phoenix) own car. He's a big car buff and did a lot of the driving work himself.
  4. The Street Customs moniker is equally translated oddly: Speciaux de ville (City Specials)
  5. I stumbled upon this website today and it has lots of inspirational artwork. I may attempt a few of these! http://www.whatifcars.com/index1.php
  6. The Monogram F-250/350 kit is one of the best Ford pickups available in scale, second only to the Revell and Lindberg tenth generation F-150 offerings. The Revell Bronco has to be the most atrocious seventh generation rendition ever. The basic tooling was originally an F-350 dually and as such the front suspension is a leaf-sprung TTB setup. No underhood detail at all, either. The box art you show was one of the earlier releases and as such might be somewhat pricy. A lot of these older kits are offered by sellers almost constantly that ridiculously inflate the prices. The most recent release of the Revell Bronco that I'm aware of was the Yamaha F-1 Boat set. You can get the whole set for substantially cheaper than the one you have pictured. The set was also reboxed by Revell of Germany so you might be able to find that one easier. If you're interested in building an accurate seventh gen Bronco, however, your best bet is to find the MPC/AMT kit, most recently put out as an "iHobby exclusive": red/white truck on a blue background. The older MPC kits tend to be warped and brittle, but it has beautiful suspension and better underhood detail than the Revell and Monogram kits. The Monogram Bronco is 1:24 and in scale with their F-250, however underhood and suspension detail is severely lacking.
  7. Now you just need some giant propellers for cargo!
  8. I thought this might be helpful for someone. Full album here
  9. From what I understand the roof panel is a rack type deal to work with the tailgate extension. Great for ladders and canoes.
  10. I don't know about everyone else, but I love it. http://www.vancouversun.com/cars/Photos+Ford+Atlas+concept+preview+Ford/7822032/story.html
  11. There's a possibility that COEs might make a comeback. All depends on how Walmart's pilot program pans out, I guess.
  12. You got 83% (40 right out of 48).
  13. I don't have a separate policy for the collection, but my tenant insurance policy more than covers everything in my house, including the models.
  14. Is this, by any chance, a modification of the S'cool Bus? I've been thinking about getting on simply to convert to a stock height school bus.
  15. I get the impression that most of their marketing efforts currently are devoted to getting the International ProStar to market. Once that hits the shelves we might start seeing more information about these.
  16. If this is true it will be the first time that I will literally buy a case of one model. This is my absolute favourite Ford truck of all time!
  17. Neat idea, but way too small and way underpowered.
  18. I think your best bed would be to pick a municipality that you wish to represent and look for historic vehicles from that municipality's emergency services. Or, if there is no municipal ambulance service, perhaps an organization? Around here ambulance service is provided by St. John Ambulance, which had some pretty basic graphics back in the day and would be easy to replicate.
  19. Here's an interesting subject and a little deviation from what I normally build... Oh yeah, and its 1:35 scale! The amount of detail in this kit is astounding, even for a 'curbside'. The kit is produced by a newcomer to the armour market, Meng. I picked this up as a door prize at my club's show back in May and I'm just now getting around to playing with it. Building this truck at this scale is difficult enough for me, someone used to 1:25 scale. I can only imagine trying to build a tank with individual photoetch track pieces...!
  20. Ah, see, that's why politics should either never be discussed on message boards or lock those threads away in a separate section where everything goes and everyone's on equal footing.
  21. What could you possibly do to get banned from the HAMB?

    What if...?

    The Super Bee's openings are much taller than what you have depicted. An extension of the GTO's grille openings would probably work best. Lots of whittling to eliminate the stacked headlights... I may try this at some point.

    What if...?

    Way to go, Harry. You made me pull out a 66 GTO and a 70 Super Bee and start figuring out where to cut/graft...
  24. I have the interior sorted out. Belvedere floor, panels, and dash; 330 seats, and; Color Me Gone roll bar. I haven't decided yet if I should put in a back seat; the Color Me Gone car has one but I would think that for drag racing you would want to eliminate that extra weight? I haven't started painting anything yet as I want to try out the Vallejo paint line that my LHS owner/club member/friend raves about. Might be a few days before I can get up to his shop to get some colours to try.
