  1. Ill ck tonight.but i 'might' have an extra body.....maybe a hood
  2. There used to be a car car Quick Silver ( owned by a man named Len Silver.) that ran out of the Sabina Ohio area many many many years ago. And if memory serves me correct the 2 cars were made by the same company and the Quick Silver had a box tube main frame with a minimal round rube frame for a driver cage
  3. I think the hood changed a little but i believe the body is the same
  4. I've always been a fan of the box art. And in my hunt for old annuals I've managed to collect quite a few of the vintage boxes
  5. How about some non hemi avs carbs?
  6. Use the engine assy from the revell 68 69 charger or the dart kit. Just modify the valve covers into the earlier 4 bolt style
  7. Price has become a somewhat big deal for me, Not so much because I cant afford it,,,its because I'm a tight wad. I already have hundreds of kits on shelf still sealed with the sticker on it,,,many at $5.99 or less. So my buying of modern tool kits has become extremely selective in the past few years.
  8. true.........but my issue wih this.method is by the time i buy 2 kits im in over $55. $60 not including decals.it
  9. This isnt the same kit that was in an Advent box many years ago was it ?
  10. Which one ? My gut feeling is this kit is toast . Its hasn't been done in many years
  11. Thats a shame, As I would MUCH rather have the sedan with all the superstock parts in it as opposed the Missile car IMO - I tend to think it would sell better. But I understand its business
  12. your point ?
  13. I dont see a problem. If I think I can make a few bucks on something ...ill flip it.....dont care what it is
  14. Is the intake manifold the one in the kit ? Reason I ask is its way to high up the valve covers on both sides
  15. Ditto, I really like the color choice
  16. The 62 Fury convertible kit is probably the easiest of the Johan kits to find,,,build it. I've got one I had begun many years ago in plans to build Jane Hathaway car from the Beverly Hillbilly's
  17. If you go to Speed City Resins website, they list several different suppliers for the AFX car decals I think Slixx only has the Landy and the Sox - Martin cars
  18. Agreed, My wife is only 5' tall. and getting a safe distance from the airbags has always been a challenge when car buying. We have a 2005 Chrysler T+C with adjustable pedals. and its a god send in a perfect world you want to be approx 12 to 18 inches away from the airbag ,,,preferably the 18"
  19. Having been a dealer tech for nearly 25 years. I've seen and heard it all. Some people complain that the manufacturer should fix anything and everything if they've heard more than 2 people with the same complain. Yet some complain when the OEM DOES fix it . Its a double edge sword, darn if they do and darn of they don't. And btw,,,,,,With ANY recall, you do not have to take it in to fix it, that's entirely your decision. . Harry, this isn't targeted towards you so please dont take it as such ,,,its just the one that sent me over the edge. And just a bit of advise to any driver, avoid driving with your arm across the air bags path ( ie - left arm crossing over to the right side) be it straight ahead or if making a turn. Airbags are designed to stop your bodies forward momentum , And it doesn't care if your arm , your chest or your head is in the way.
  20. Sorry, darn a manufacture has found a defect and is doing the right thing,,,,,,fix it for free . And all people do is bash it. At least there fixing it,,,so sorry you think you have to go in twice, ( you don't btw ,,,,your more then welcome to wait till they get all the parts and just make one trip) I get so tired of the whole dealer / manufacturer bashing .
  21. Do a googe search for its a mad mad mad mad world.There was a red 1962 Plymouth used in it
  22. I applaud there efforts, but nothing there sparks my fancy
  23. Cool. I have all 3 years of Edsel kits ( all convertibles ) both my 59 and 60 are unbuilt. but my 58 is an unpainted builder. I keep wanting to build them but cant decide on color combinations for any of the 3
