It's funny. I don't know if that was meant to be serious or not, but wouldn't it have been much easier to just have one person walk or stand in front of the car with someone in the car but not doing anything rather than getting out and running in front of it?

It's terrible but I was almost hoping the car would run him over...

That's all fine and dandy, mlhm5. But how many threads are you going to create under the pretense of Ford "news" just to say the same crap over and over again?

 

 

Ford is forecasted to run out of money next year and you are worried about what?

Ooops! OC were running almost $8 billion a quarter and F plans to cut $5 billion in spending. What kind of math would allow F to stay in business in a market where total sales are 11-12mm vehicles and F is still losing market share?

Ford has 7 months of cash left without laying off everyone and tapping the credit lines.

Sales are not coming back in 2009 or 2010. Look at the employment numbers.

Deal with it.

 

Back then the sky was falling for some....

BTW: Last summer I decided it would be fun to get back into building model cars...

 

And a few weeks after I started I realized that I'm about the same age my dad was when he started to build model cars again. Of course he had four kids at the time, including one (ahem) who was fascinated by it.

 

I've done these models, as well as converting a '69 Torino into a '68 (my dad's first car), and a '71 Plymouth Duster for my father-in-law.

 

I'm trying to put together a "Ford GT" Series: I've got the Mark II and the GT40 that won at LeMans in '68 and '69, as well as the Mark IV (finding that model was not easy). I've also done the GT90 (which is my favorite concept car ever), and next up are the 2005 GT & the 2017 GT.

 

The 1:43 GT40 was fun. It's incredibly detailed considering the size.

 

I'm working on an '84 SVO and a '55 Continental Mark II right now. At some point I'll probably do a Datsun 280Z, since I thought those things were really cool when I was a kid.

Those look awesome RJ!

 

Were they full kits where you had to paint all the parts, etc?

 

Yep. I didn't have to paint the GT90 or the GT40 Mark II.

 

The rest had to be painted. I brush painted the '60 Starliner---with acrylic paint. I do *not* want to do that again.

 

The '60 Starliner came with a second engine that was crazy detailed. It had the valve springs & studs molded into the heads, so I painted it up and put it together without gluing the valve cover or air cleaner on. I think it's the first engine I've assembled that had a fuel line & fuel pump.

Crazy amount of detail for such a small engine.  You can tell it's an FE block, the income manifold is part of the cylinder head (which I always thought was odd).  Like the chrome T-bird valve covers too.
