    I don't think so, but those cars are pretty wild! They would offer a wide open field for the imagination. They could probably rolled into an unlimited or a race car category, I guess.

    Sounds good to me. This is a busy time of year and we could all used time to think about the options! I must have missed the Peking to Paris build. Thanks for letting me know.

    I'd love to see Revell bring this King Cab version out again!

    Nice catch! I think I have a Pantera that came from the same company. I wonder if someone still has the molds for them? They seem pretty accurate to me.

    All the ideas seem good so far. I could go for any, but a 4-bangers Run would be cheap, as I have a lot of Japanese cars. lol. Street legal race cars could go a couple of ways, a stock body on a race car chassis, or a race car with added lights to make it street legal. There is also precedent for Pickups in Cannonballs, both movie and real life. Work trucks might be cool in the same kind of way.

    I wonder if a second limited time limit group build maybe a three month build or something would be popular without taking away from the annual Cannonball competition? That could cover an Alcan Alaskan Highway Rally, Panamerica or Baja 500 Mexico style rallies, or even a Paris to Dakar style rally.

    A Radwood could be fun, either limited to things you might do in period, or taking an 80s-90s car and updating it. That could maybe stretched into a Fast N Furious early 90s tuner sort of thing.

    I wonder if that body will fit on the MPC '73 Cougar chassis?
  9. oldcarfan
    I think this kit was issued as a Pro Street kit originally. Not sure, but if the body is a stock Berlinetta, I'll get one and try to fit it to one of the other Camaros. I have happy memories of riding in an Aunt's brand new B'netta.

    I'll definitely want a Taurus, and a Monza for sure. I had the Taurus kit back in the day and turned it into a two door coupe. Now I'd like to do one all lowered and with a tuner vibe. The only thing I really remember about the build is that it was pretty straightforward, but the ride height was way too high.
  11. oldcarfan
    Definitely odd. The HL tag usually means the kit was bought by an individual on their 40% sale or on clearance to be resold.
  12. oldcarfan
    I can't believe AutoWorld would send a kit like that, their standards must have really slipped! I wonder if they sub-fulfilled the order from a third party. I know there are a couple of people in even our small town who troll Walmarts and HLs looking for marked down kits and Hot Wheels to resell. A couple of times I've run across one of them sweeping a whole row of clearanced kits into a basket.

    Congratulations to both you and to the magazine that birthed it! To be honest I was a little scared when I saw the notice. I clicked on it afraid it was being closed, or had been sold to Kalmbach so they could close it down and fold it into one of their other magazines. Anyway, I'm sure you're going to be busy with all the details, so I wish you all the best!

    We got an Ollie's last Spring and they never had models until recently. I went by for something else and they had a large pile of kits stacked by the door. I didn't see anything I needed until I came across a Revell Lamborghini Diablo. It's funny because I've been wanting to do one up as a tuner, sort of Liberty Walk style. So now it goes on the stack to wait for time and patience.

    I've switched to plain Testor's enamel paints for flocking as it stays wet longer than acrylics. I can usually paint it on a larger area and flock it without the paint drying before I'm done. As for Elmer's glue, I used that originally but I noticed that it tended to shrink as it dried, leaving noticeable gap around the edges and one time, even curling away from the edge. It could just be an error on my part, but I don't have that problem with enamels.
