Ford nailed it with that body design!

77-78 was the perfect storm for KISS. Some were fans of the music; 100x as many were fans of the shows. Many shows at the time, even with extremely talented bands, were literally just hippies standing around in jeans and t-shirts. :lol: Also, by about 1976, kids like me had latched on for the costum...

Grabbed some stuff while it was available, not because I need it. RC version of "if you build it, they will come..."

Since I was born in the late 70's, the "music" is all that I have. Exactly! The music doesn't tell the story, so if you missed the hype, it is hard to understand why it ever happened. :lol: Evel Knievel is the same story. If you sat on the floor at grandma's house watching this maniac(!) ...

I always think of Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Toyota when I see the JRXT

You are actually from there? I laughed when I first saw "Ojai" in your info. I thought it was quite the clever reference to the 6 Million Dollar Man tv show.

Sorry I am late to the "Trans Am" discussion.

Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) owns the name Trans Am. Pontiac licensed it from them. It is rumored that there were a lot of years in which the royalty check from Pontiac was the biggest item on the SCCA's books.

That would be awesome to have both! A little bit of staging could make the difference in scale disappear. You could mount the big rig up on a shelf with the Bandit low and in front to change the perspective, sort of focussing on the Bandit but with Snowman in the background. Found a painting that sh...

I installed the ball raced steering kit on one of my Cougars. At the same time, I installed the Factory Works steering rack, which was the only item Jeff makes for the Cougar that it didn't already have. I used my new caliper to make sure every turnbuckle on every one of my buggies was perfectly set...

I bought this several months ago for heat shrink, because the mini torch is too much. Heat Shrink Tubing Kit,Mini Heat Gun + 328 PCS Heat Shrink Wrap Tube　2:1. https://a.co/d/0YK4tWq Thank you. I ordered after seeing your post. Works great! Quite a bit better than the Bic lighters I used for the la...

My 2 guesses, in order:

I forgot about King Richard running those Pontiacs. I always associate him with Mopar, even though he ran just about everything through the years.

Looking forward to seeing this when it is finished
