  1. I would really like to see the 69 Impala reissued, I also could go for the 68 impala too. Personally, I’ve seen my fair share of Camaros, Firebirds, as well as mustangs although a good 79 or so Camaro I wouldn’t mind. I know that’s what sells in the marketplace. I also would like to see a 67 Galaxie or a 66 Pontiac Bonneville or how about an early 60s Mercury full-size, those would be cool.
  2. Looking good so far, I’ve been wanting to do this too for quite awhile since watching Roadkill Garage. I thought of doing a 67 Chevelle. Keep this one going please.
  3. I’m really liking where you are going with this custom 56. I have a custom 56 Bel Air going right now too. Keep it going.
  4. Update: sorry guys I haven’t been able to get back to this for quite a while. I’ve been sidetracked on various other projects and things. I finally dug this project out again, and I managed to complete the interior which is fairly simple and straightforward. I’ve lost the steering wheel from the resin kit, but no matter I managed to find another steering wheel in my parts box. I hope to be back onto this and finish it up soon. thanks for your patience and cheers
  5. Plans for the Cougar are to squeeze in the Revell 2013 Boss Mustang Coyote engine into this, I do have one in my stash.
  6. Almost 2 weeks ago the club I belong to held our annual spring contest and swap meet and I found three holy grail kits. I didn’t have to spend too much either.
  7. Thank you Dennis for getting back to me. it just so happens that I have the kit you mentioned in my stash. I’ll have to double check it later. Cheers.
  8. Dennis, Nice work on this project, inspiring as always. Question, Out of which AMT kit did you get the Firestone cheater slicks ? I have a project that I need a pair. Thank you and keep up the good work.
  9. Sir, I lowered my 41 Chevrolet Pickup by cutting C notches in the front frame and mounted the front axle on top of the front leaf springs (see attached photo). An alternative could be to pick up an AMT 39 Wagonrod kit and use the frame and front and rear suspension from that kit. You might even want to use the Corvette ZR-1 engine too. I eyeballed it and it looks like it will fit under the 41 Chevy pick up. You might have to do a little bit of massaging on the frame tabs and the wheelbase may need to be readjusted a little bit but not by much. The benefit is that you get a modern suspension underneath that sweet 41 Chevy pick up. hope that this is of some help.
  10. it looks like I may need to budget my $$ some this month. There are a few kits that look good to get.
  11. Dennis, is there any update on this build? I was looking for frame and suspension ideas for my Revell 29 build and this thread came up. I searched for Ala-Kart suspension.
  12. Your build is coming along great. Cheers.
  13. Like a few other people here, I’m really digging what you are doing on the 41 Plymouth. I have a chopped taildragger that I’m stalled on and I’m going to have to get it out and finish it up. Outstanding work so far, keep it going.
