Well, now I'm interested: If I can use this to begin backdating the Revell kit to a '73...

Beautiful! I grew up reading about this car as it was built. Just needs one more detail: So here you go!

Anyone parting out one of these cheap Thunderbolts you picked up at Hobby Lobby? I could use the flat hood for my Modified Stocker project. Let me know what you need in trade. Thanks!

Here they are, if you can't open the file: (And if anyone has a '71-74 parts car, I could use the headlights for my '65 Oldsmobile Jetstar conversion! )

Something different for the AMT '53 Ford pickup

Ad from the 1958 Galena Park, TX high school yearbook: I guess this was for carrying pipe or long ladders? -
Wonder if the chassis (which was sourced from a British Jowett Jupiter) would be useful for re-creating one of those homebuilt sports cars that were popular in the Fifties?

That was the one that blew up; the rollover stunt car was a 2-door post. It had an Olds rear end with those distinctive wheels that nobody makes in scale (hint hint Chief Joseph...) Stunt car: Burn car: My car:

The one time I tackled this kit, it was in the late '70s and I put a ton of work into kitbashing it with an AMT Nomad to build Bob Falfa's "'very wicked" '55 Chevy; got it about 3/4 done. The body panels fit together fairly well. Maybe I should finish it as the stunt car that was rolled...

Just got these sharp wire wheels; they were custom parts from the AMT '69 Impala but had previously been offered in the '67 and '68 Continentals: I'll try to cast them up in resin; we'll see how it goes. -

For me, El Matador is OK but not a huge favorite. The Aztec: they did everything but section it, which was the one thing it really needed. Dream Truck: Agree to disagree?
