Back in February I attended the New York Toy Fair and while there I visited with the folks at Round2 (parent company of Johnny Lightning) and was surprised—and thrilled—to see prototypes of a new line of 1:64 Bond cars from JL.

Shop Talk Project Car Update

As this is written, we are all stuck at home, hiding out from the coronavirus, and if there is an upside to be found in all this, it’s that we have some extra time to work on personal projects.

EXPLORER BECOMES EXPLORER

Al Maurine’s ’01 Ford Explorer was built with simplicity in mind— and not just because there were no aftermarket parts

FLASHBACK 1964

This was an exciting time, as the speed equipment aftermarket’s penetration of Motor City really began to take off. The classic example is Hurst, whose floor shift-conversion business exploded after Pontiac anointed the four-speed shifter as standard equipment on 1961 Super Duty Catalinas. Not coincidentally, cofounder George Hurst worked harder at self-promotion and was better at it than any of his peers.

Wrap Your Ass in Fiberglass

I love fiberglass—it’s easy to work with and it smells really good. I’m okay as a steel fabricator, but when it comes to gluing a car together, my experience goes back to 1960 when I was 8 years old and built AMT’s 1⁄25 scale 1932 Ford 3-in-1 kit as a fenderless highboy with a blown 392 Chrysler for power— Hemi Firepower that is.
