Thanks guys, I see that about half an inch or so needs to come out behind the rear wheels of the Ranchero. I have a Thunderbolt kit that could donate it's top if it comes to that. Like I said, accuracy isn't super important. I'm thinking about building a track/drift car and the Falcon seemed like an interesting choice.

That might be a good place to get the basic shape, especially if you're going in a more modern custom direction.

We had a cat that loved tomato sauce, she would pace around in circles until you let her lick your spaghetti plate.

I'm looking for a suitable roof to turn the 61 Ranchero into a sedan or even a faux sport coupe. I've seen the 61 Falcon promos and they look like they flew a little too close to the sun. I don't want to spend big bucks on a resin kit because for my purpose I only really need the body and bumpers, the chassis and interior would be scratch built race car stuff. I found a custom top from the AMT 57 Thunderbird that might work but ideally there would be something closer to stock. I have a 64 Falcon but I'm not cutting that up for this, is there a stock looking top that's from a fairly cheap kit?

BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, now I need a set of Brawndo decals...

The Coca-Cola Thirst Crusher! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Actually, it's not too far from possible. There were a lot of "corporate" trucks then.

The middle compartment is a sleeper, theres an RV style ac unit and the dome is most likely a Winegard style satellite tv reciever. Landstar is a shipping company that uses third party drivers to deliver packages. They seem like a specialty carrier who probably does short turn around times for items that are difficult to ship normally.

It's posted in the News and Reviews section.

Those builds look really good.

I don't care for 68/69 Chevelles but may pick one 69 up to do Reese Bobby's car.

The Satellite hood is supposed to be in the upcoming Fast & Furious version.

The MPC/AMT 88 is supposed to coming back sometime this year.

Google is a huge target and shutting down all their vehicles would cause chaos.

I watched that too, most of those people need serious medication. They exhibit a lot of the signs of mental illness.

It has since started to come out that he wasn't really a flat earther, he was just using them to fund his amateur rocket/stunt man career. He had setup a kickstarter for a new rocket that failed, then he tried again saying it was to prove the earth was flat and it succeeded so he kept it going.

As a counterpoint, I didn't exist in 1969. I don't have that same nostalgia so while I enjoy the aesthetics of old cars improving some aspects doesn't ruin the experience for me. Especially if it's not a particularly valuable version I'd rather see something done with it than it not get preserved at all.

Yep, that's the same car I saw too.

I found pics of the actual cars engine, I just didn't know if it was supposed to have something crazy in the movie that was talked about but never shown.

I couldn't find any stills from the movie of the engine of the GTX so I imagine it will probably be the same as the previous issues. There are a few options out there if you want something more modern.

What the actual f***? I'm sure this will turn into some conspiracy where the government shot him down to protect the "globe lie".

There hasn't been any talk of a lowboy being in the works, Moebius is pretty good about giving previews of what they're working on.

I can't image the won't do the 68 again, that would defeat the point of making a tool with multiple versions.

Wow, that GTX is awesome and they went to the trouble of making bigger rear wheels.

Something to think about when plumbing a twin turbo setup on a V style engine is that some turbos come in "right side" and "left side" versions (basically a mirror image) and some don't. With the mirrored setup both sides will be pretty much the same but when using two of the same turbos you'll have to clock them a little differently to get the inlets and outlets pointed in the right direction. This is a mirrored setup This is two of the same turbo and the plumbing is different

Maybe someone can scan it for you now that they know where to look.
