MCM Ohana (6/6)

    Seeing this reminded me of a guy I knew back in those days. He bought two or more of every promo that came out especially the Corvettes and stored them high on a shelf in cases, box and all. He said they would be his retirement plan some day. I often wonder how that worked out for him. Not that I have any room to talk, I bought comic books with the same idea and we all know how that turned out.

    Just realized my reply was almost the same as Seth's, sorry! Maybe it could be stretched into how you would have built or restored it if you had had the money? I've had a lot of junky cars that I would have fixed up if money allowed.

    I recently bought their Lamborghini Diablo kit, the first time I've one since they first came out. I'm looking forward to doing something with it. We went back today for some stocking stuffers and I almost got this one. I assume its the old Revell kit?

    Monogram's 32 Ford is still a favorite, and even though their 57 Chevy and 69 Camaro aren't super accurate, they hold a sentimental attachment back to my childhood!

    I think STS Decals has replacement copies of these decals if you need them. I bought a set of the Charlie's Angels from them for that version of this kit.

    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?
  14. 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.
