Can-Con

Actually, I'm kinda up in the air right now. I'll either mix up some solid industrial style grey/blue close to what's on it now or go all out with candy blue.

Small block Chevy but not sure exactly how it'll be set up yet.

Still can't get a date, eh, Bill? 😔

True, but the shipping usually is the deal breaker for me here in Canada. If they were reissued I could get them at my local shop for a comparable price without the shipping.

Here's the second page,, The quality of resin varies a great deal from caster to caster. Because of this, we cannot guarantee the results of the finish on resin parts. CONTINUED ON OTHER SIDE MOUNTING PARTS Parts can be mounted on 6” X 8” (outside dimensions) wire frame. Heavy- duty wire coat hangers are an excellent source of material. The over lapping ends should be on an 8”side for maximum strength and stability. Overlapped area can be secured with electrical ties, wire, welded or soldered. Cross- pieces can be either more coat hanger type material or a plastic structural shape such as Plastruct. Round pieces are acceptable for “stringing” promo bumpers together, but square,” T” shaped,” I” shaped or flat pieces should be used on other pieces for maximum protection against lost parts. Wood or any other porous substances are not acceptable for mounting material. Wheels and hubcaps are best mounted on parallel rails; fastened on either the backside or an edge where the tire will cover the bare spot when remounted. Wheels and hubcaps can be mounted with as little as one eight-inch separation between them without affecting the finished product. GE Silicone II Household Glue is the recommended material for mounting all parts on your rack. The “tacky” type craft glues are not recommended as they are a water soluble adhesive. Our experience has shown that parts become loose and fall off the rack as they are being cleaned prior to coating when this material is used. Bumpers and larger parts should be separated by about one half inch. An adult size finger makes an excellent and handy spacer. Placing your finger between parts when mounting them will maintain the appropriate spacing required for best results. The ends of the bumpers should be separated at least three quarters of an inch. The finished sides of all parts MUST face the same side of the rack. Leave plenty of space between parts. The finish will be inconsistent if you try to get too many pieces on a single rack.

I wanted to start on this last fall but just located it again last weekend. It will be in my customary style of an unaltered body with updated engine and underpinnings. I may [probably will] keep the parallel leaf suspension setup front and back but with a dropped front axel and lowering blocks in the rear. BUT, nothing is set in plastic yet. That said, I could really use a rad/grille and headlight bar with good chrome, if anyone has a spare to trade. I've also seem to have lost one of the rear doors but I can easily cast another as the only difference in the two on the outside is what side the hinges are on. Thanks for the interest. 😉

You got that for a heck of a deal. I'm hoping they reissue some of the 356s like they did the early 911s so I can afford to get a couple. 😉

Thanks everyone.

It's "Little Motor Kar Company" and here's the e-mail addy lmkco@outlook.com

It probably did. I have the '80 and 81, they have the updated dashes.

Looks fantastic, Curtis, as does the real one.

BTW, I'd check in models made after 1989 or 90. Later 4th gen Vettes still seem to be reasonably priced for instance. Ford Probes and Taurus definitely had them , stuff like that.

"Period Gatorbacks" did come in a lot of MPC and AMT kits back then in 3 sizes, 35 40 and 50 series. Not only sports cars but also as an option in street machines, customs etc. The one Stealth kit I have has 40s in it. I'd imagine the promo has the same. Later kits had Goodyear GS-Cs in 35 40 and 45 series. Same deal as the Gatorbacks, not only in sports cars but others as an option. IRC, the '66 Riviera lowrider had a set in it. They all have the same inside diameter though, same diameter as the Mustang kit.

Looks great. I built one [almost] the same color when they first came out. BTW, I built mine strait from the box and was impressed at how perfect it sat without me having to fiddle with it.

Oh, I didn't know that, never had the one you have. I've only seen the box art showing the 5 spoke wheels on the stock buildup. Good to know. Does it have both?

The green one's actually the '79 annual, Jeff. MPV started using names on the annual kits for a while so they could be kept on the shelves longer without being seen as "old". I think the only difference between them is the '79 has the turbine style factory wheels instead of the 5 spoke Z-28 rally wheels.

He was a bit rough but he does kinda have a point Michael. Are you looking for a '69 Daytona, AMT/MPC or Revell/Monogram? I'm assuming you don't mean a "modern" Charger from from Lindberg or AMT. There are Daytona decals available for the Lindberg kit, I haven't seen any for the newer AMT kit yet though.

Don't know how I missed this one the first time around, Tim. Great build. Love the colors and stance. I just ran across the post while looking for inspiration for my build of the same kit. Funny thing is I have everything needed to clone this one including wheels, tires and decals. But, I'm not going to, of corse. 😉 BTW, those wheels are also in the 4 door Vette kit and the Miami Vice Daytona kit. Exact same wheels and spinners.

Just a simple rebuild of the old annual with a bit of detail added. Flocking inside and photoetch emblems added along with a few bits under the hood and a set of re-chromed rally wheels from an old promo.

He's talking about me, Bill.

Looks like you need a set from this kit,, Or maybe a set of Pegasus Magnums would be close enough for you. Easier to find and they come in 19" and 23" sizes.

Fantastic save. Love seeing something resurrected so well. 👍

Thanks Jim. 👍

Thanks guys. 🙂
