It sounds like it's the MPC kit. Thanks to all! Gee, I wonder why I can't remember all of that? I was 11!!!
-
Thanks. It's the right body style, but I wonder if it's molded in Petty blue? I obviously did not bother to use the red sides. Were those decals, I wonder?
-
The other day I was going through my "built before becoming a teenager" stash and ran across a Richard Petty Charger, molded in Petty blue and black. It looks like I didn't bother to paint it, just slapped it together and put the decals on. I thought it was a Johan, but now I'm thinking MPC. Anyone have a recollection of this kit? And who made it? Thanks John

Thank you SO MUCH!!! John

Does anyone have a pdf of the instructions for the old "Red Alert" Chevelle? I want to see how many parts I'm missing on my original one before I tear it down for a rebuild. Thanks! John

I love old wagons, but the Continental add on is not the best. I'd vote for a Ranchero!
-
I've got another '57 Nomad that has Torq Thursts. I really like the look, but just wanted to keep this one as stock as possible.
-
Thanks, all! I don't like the way the wheels turned out, and I could change them if I really wanted to. The antenna is guitar string, which looks better than the chrome part they had. I also did gold chrome foil on the emblems.
-
I really don't like the wheels, either. And there's no way to paint the trim rings easily.
-
Here's my finished '57 Bel Air. This is the Pro Shop kit with the PE parts. They were very nicely done.
-
I'm close enough to done to move it over to Under Glass. The Photo-etched parts were great on this kit.
-
Quick update. I got the hoses installed. This kit comes with some PE pieces. I really like the detail it adds to the grille.
-
You're right, the motor mounts were a bear. I didn't pin them, but that would have been a good idea.
-
While the kit feels good and solid, my first issue was with the ride height. I just couldn't get the frame to snuggle in where it is supposed to in front. With glue and clamps I finally got it down.
-
I'd be interested in knowing who has built the AMT '57 Chevy Pro Shop kit. What started out as a great kit now has fitment issues.
-
I'm on the last stages of putting together AMT's Pro Shop '57 Chevy, but I can't get the front nose to come down all the way. I've tried everything. I don't see where it is binding, and everything looks "right" except the nose. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

"I can look back and remember each experience with these models but I can't remember what I did yesterday." I'm with you on that! Great memories
-
Thank you all. If you can find this kit, and like GTOs, it would be worth your while. I was pleasantly surprised!
-
Thanks so much! You are right, espo, one of the options is to make it into a hardtop, but since most of mine are hardtops, I thought a coupe would be a bit different
-
It's been a long time since I've posted anything, but the other day I pulled from my stash Revell's 1964 GTO. This kit is dated 1998, and I really didn't have a lot of interest in it. But I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went together and how solid it feels! I'm not the best builder, but I really like the way it turned out. I guess one good thing about CoronaVirus is that it got me thinking about old kits. I hope you are all staying well and enjoying some extra building time.
-
Those are awesome! I've built everything from early 50's up to 1968, then '70, '71, '74, and '76. Glad to see the others exist!
-
Just finished a great trade with Khils (aka Kevin Hilsabeck). Awesome guy!
-
I'm searching for a 1961 Impala kit. I know that they are still for sale, but thought maybe someone would want to make a trade? I've got a few to offer. Thanks John
-
I still have the original one I built back in the day. Slapped together, no paint. I sure hope I would do a better job now! ?

I LOVE these old Johan kits. Wish they were still around
