Here's the link....

And here's one of the cars.... a VW bug chopped and setup with a mid-engine Buick Nailhead V8 (the valve cover lettering reads "Berlin Buick"...

GREAT BUNCH OF PICS TIM THANKS FOR POSTING THEM

Definitely some mighty fine looking iron.  Saved a few for my "future" build file.

Thanks for sharing the pics, Tim.  I can only imaging how loud it would be in that Buick/VW.

Thanks for sharing Tim, I have always wanted to go to this show and it is on my bucket list. Seeing all of those 60's and 70's pickup trucks makes me wonder if or when someone will bring us some more building options? The news from Moebius is encouraging, but it would be really nice if we had an all new 67-72 tool of the GM and Dodge pickups, much like we have with the Fords of the same era. It would be a great day in the model world if we had 2 & 4 WD, short bed/long bed kits to build of GM and Dodge vehicles!

Mike.....yeah, I kind of agree with you here. 

I had provided a list of future kit topics to Revell ten years ago.....and it included the Bumpside ('67-72) F-Series trucks.....and we finally got those, courtesy of Moebius.   I've also suggested the '57 F100 ( a great unsung hero of the pickup world), and if done the way Moebius did their Bumpsides, it could easily support 1958-1960 Effies.  Further, I would love to see the Unibody F-100's ('61-63) in a new kit, preferably a SWB one this time.. (see current issue of the other mag for a piece on the AMT  LWB Unibody annual kit series).   Finally, a '67/'68 C-10 (preferred in the hot rod world these days for the swoopier hood than on the '69 and later Chevs....and never available in kit form past the original AMT and MPC annuals of 1967 and 1968, respectively), all seem like obvious choices to me.  

Then there's the current Aluminum Body F-Series....now on track to sell 800,000 or more this year alone (well more than twice the volume of the best selling car in America this year).  One would have to think a current kit of that - even if done in simplified from like the first Raptor kit - would be a worthy subject of kit development.  

And digressing a moment to cars....it is beyond description that we don't have a full detail kit of the S550 generation Mustang.  It is now the best selling sports car in the world!  And there's no market for a full detail kit?  Hogwash.  It would truly be a shame if a full detail kit of this Mustang doesn't come to fruition from Revell, Round 2, or Moebius.  Because if they don't, one of the Asian kitmakers probably will, either now or later.
