  • Molded in rear wiper on the back glass is very toy like, but I’m glad we have a new Bronco model kit. *NM*
    • Funny I was thinking the same thing so the first thing in building my style was to sand that off and polish... maybe add my own. *NM*
• O/T Facebook just told me that Gene Winfield is exactly one score and a day older than I am... Hope I'm still as spry as he is at that age... *NM*

• Hi Mike, I don't want to say why here on this board. I will insult some people and some people will agree why. I don't want to start a big debate. I've been thru it with my friends and sometimes it gets involved and ugly. I'm sorry. I'm not going to say why here. *NM*

• Finished A Renwal kit done my way This time retro futuristic. PICS
  • WOW....Very well done! *NM*
  • This is very cool; really like the engine too *NM*
  • Nice! Kinda reminds me of the early ‘70’s Pontiac Grand Prix. *NM*
  • Wonderful, nice to see one of these done! *NM*
  • Neat work.........in the mid 70's there was a co. modifying Pontiac Grand Prix's into "Stutz"s I even saw a couple here in Oz, I remember seeing those Renwall kits on sale & couldn't understand then what they were supposed to be....duh! *NM*
    • Yea, that was actually the reboot of Stutz Motor Company. They made cars from '71 to '87. A lot of famous people owned those cars. *NM*
      • Didn’t Elvis own a Stutz or two? *NM*
        • Five, including the first one built. Him and Sinatra were on a curfuffl over who would get the first one and Presley won out. *NM*

• I have one of those maybe stupid questions but I think not! Way is there only 3 pipes each side when it is a V8? Does not look like 2 cylinders share a pipe! What gives? *NM*
  • That's a Cadillac V8. Center 2 cylinders share one exhaust pipe. *NM*
    • As did all flathead Fords, and many GM engines well into the '50s. Probably others too. *NM*
      • Thanks Bill. *NM*

    • Thanks Frank....I like it, that's a nice car. Has it ever been kitted? Don't remember, *NM*
