  1. I got to see the car race at Limerock which prompted me to buy the kit. It’s a nice kit but I’ve got so many other ones I want to get to that I just don’t see myself getting to it
  2. I’m looking for johan stuff, early fox body mustang stuff ( Mpc or monogram) and below are some screen shots of other stuff I’m interested in. Im also open to other stuff too.
  3. I went through a phase where these kits interested me but I’m coming to the reality that I will likely never get around to building them. They’re all still factory sealed except the Revell kit that I opened when new. I’m willing to bundle multiple or all of the kits for the right kit/kits. I’ll list with some screen shots in the next post what I’m looking for.
  4. These are duplicates that I have and am looking to trade for other vintage mags. (60’s -70’s ) similar, drag or even custom van magazines are what I’m looking for. If interested let me know what you’ve got and maybe we can get it done.
  5. Decided to dig into this one. Not really deviating too much from the kit but I did also take some liberties. I narrowed it an additional 4.5mm to fit even wider meats out back. Reconfigured the rear suspension and used a Strange rearend from my parts box. K.S. Pittman kit has donated the door panels, roll bar and steering wheel. Wheels are from Texas 3D . Injector scoop, rear tires, arm rests, shifter and other little bits also sourced from my parts box. It’s going to be light-ish blue metallic ( Duplicolor GM light blue met. ) that in good light resembles Ford’s Brittany blue ( see spoon in photo ). The interior is going to be a slightly darker version of mopar burnt orange interior color. The project is still fluid so not all details are hammered out yet.
  6. When I received a renewal notice a few months ago it said they were going quarterly but each issue will be “packed” with content…. We’ll see
  7. Thanks Steve, this build is now finished and in the under glass category
  8. Thanks David Thanks Harry Thanks Scott Thanks John Thanks Chris
  9. Thanks Len, looks like you’re off to a good start. The bumpers are the most important part imo.
  10. Thanks Andy Thanks Claude, I’d love to see your pro touring version. Thanks Tim Thanks Super Thanks Garry Thanks Trevor Thanks Miche Thanks Lee Thanks Craig Thanks Steve Thanks Tony Thanks Dave Thanks Mike Thanks Doyle Thanks Bill Thanks David Thanks Zenon
  11. Thanks David, I totally agree on not enough attention on these. Mercury muscle is one of my favorites...especially these Cyclones !
  12. Thanks Kevin. The original kit never came with the front spoiler but I have a ‘70 Spoiler resin kit that I had bought some time ago from Time Machine resin. I had to make a copy of the front spoiler that is in that kit so it’s not my handy work but sure is a nice piece.
  13. I wrapped this build up today. There is a brief build thread of this project in the wip threads. I was going for something you would’ve seen in the pages of a mid seventies Car Craft magazine or something that would’ve come rumbling into the local Saturday night hang out back then. Idea being someone special ordered a black Spoiler in 1970 and very shortly after began modifying it until it got to the point you see here years later. Day 6 if you will. Any questions,comments are always welcome.
  14. I’ve had this growing list of wants/needs that’s been growing directed towards the aftermarket. As much as I enjoy the fabrication aspect of the hobby, I have a lot of kits I want to get to and at times less fabrication would be nice. So I’m going to list some things I’m looking for that could either fill a void or make life easier on some projects. Thus the title. All comments welcome, maybe someone else has other suggestions. Here’s my list ( 1/25 scale) ; Accurate AMC 390 or 401 Accurate Pontiac 455 Accurate 67 Shelby mag star wheels ( the amt ones don’t look right to me ) ok at this point accurate is implied, 68 Shelby 10 spokes Shelby Paxton supercharger set up Shelby GT350 conversion for reissued Amt Mustang fastback 32 ford B400 and or cabriolet 69 ford Galaxie GT parts 8 track player and 8 tracks off-road fender flares for any of the Moebius truck kits Fender flares for the mid 70’s Mpc Dodge vans 73/74 cuda bumpers with out bumper guards for mpc and amt kits fender flares for the Mpc 70-76 firebird kit. The kit ones just don’t look good, stick out to far or something last is these bronco wheels ( see pic )
  15. Thanks Mike, that’s what I was going for. Like it just jumped out of the pages of a 1976 issue of Car Craft. Lots of memories of these cars this way, very fortunate to get to experience them back then.
  16. I’m still trying to figure out how to take decent pics with my new iPhone so I apologize for lack luster pics but here’s two quick progress pics.
  17. Thank you Keith Thanks Trevor, I used Tamiya ts-7 for that slight off white color. Thanks Len, I wish I had a few of the kits I parted when I was younger lol
  18. So I dragged this one out of its slumber. I’m in the final assembly stage dealing with little issues but hope to have it done soon. Here’s a few quick pics of the progress.
