Add these to the list. A 71 'Cuda from the NEW 70 tool. A 72 Pontiac Ventura 2 from the Nova tool. A Grand Wagoneer from the Jeep Honcho A 71-72 Elky from the 68 tool A 71-72 Chevelle from the 70 snapper. A Grand Prix from the 77 Monte Carlo snapper (with the entire roof corrected, please)

Don't forget the Brady Bunch! A 71 to 72 conversion.

Love it, very fun build. You should add a surfboard to the back. That would be a wild surfer car!

When I first read your post title, I thought you meant a full size Little Tykes ride on car. Now THAT would be quite an undertaking!

Great use of someone elses trash! Thank you for saving the planet and recycling. Or is it "repurposing"? Very cool idea!

Color looks very authentic and the redline tires are perfect for it!

WORD OF CAUTION TO ALL! 2 part catalyzed paints are for professional use only and as such they MUST be used with a breathing respirator!!! If this paint dries hard as a rock on the car, imagine what it can do to your lungs if you breathe it in. And you can't use brake fluid to remove it, either. I've heard of people developing breathing problems, emphysema or WORSE💀 due to using these kind of paints without proper protection. And never spray them indoors or in an enclosed area. Be smart - be safe!

Looks like a fun build. Keep posting more!

Not sure, but I'm willing to bet that their stock went down because Revell was in limbo. Michael's is very heavy on Revell inventory, so when they were out - so was Michael's. I also don't know why they didn't replenish their shelves with other brands at that time. I personally don't need anymore S&H Torinos, 69 Camaros or Snapper Humvees.

BTW - they don't come with engines, so don't look too hard for one.

Pretty sure the frame, tires and wheels are just the same generic stuff they put in all of their kits. So if you have access to any other Palmers, then you're set. Then again, you'd probably be better off getting parts from other sources. You could do much better than they did. If I recall they were around 1/32 scale, so just poke around for parts in that scale. You've got all the unique parts for this car anyway, so have fun with it. You could be the first one to make a Palmer look good!

If it's hard as a rock, can it be color sanded out? Making it smooth? Or is there other damage besides the texture, that I'm not seeing?

Just recieved this one from Ewetwo (thanks, Dave). Body and miscellaneous parts. As well as a rear bumper from Vintageslotcars (many thanks, James) Watch where this one ends up.... And after stripping off the layers of paint. Notice a big chunk taken out of the rockers due to thinning from the lower character styling line being sanded away and the side quarter strakes being opened up to one big scoop instead of two. I plan on using a reissue 65 to complete most of it and scratchbuilding missing things like the A-pillars, taillights, bug-eyed headlights, strake splitters, mirrors and other minor stuff. Stay tuned.

I have quite a few of these kits, bought them when there was a glut of them everywhere and places were marking them down! Haven't finished any of them, but I'm still excited to have them. I want to do them right, that includes researching all the details. Hopefully someday.

$4.99 Wow, great score on the price too!
