Thanks for posting a pic of this one, Tom. I remember seeing it years ago on the Spotlight board. It's good to see someone preserving these old builds. I can envision some kid having a lot of fun putting this thing together on a kitchen table many years ago.

Beautiful job. Love the upholstery. -
Here's a pic of the '23 T parts (minus the stock oil pan). Sorry that it's a little fuzzy. NOTE-This is the vintage '70's-era kit, the pic is not from Round2

The '70 AMT Camaro annual came with the vinyl top, the MPC kit didn't.

Two finished....so far. The Imperial is an original SMP annual, the Dodge is an enhanced X-cel promo. I have an X-cel Chrysler and Desoto, and an original Johan Fury kit waiting on the to-do pile.

I think the gluebomb/survivor definition differs depending on who you're asking. From my own stash....a red/white gluebomb and a black survivor.

1968 Chevrolet pickup promo prices

Glue marks (?) on the rear of the box, a crack or hole on the rear of the cab, a piece of white sprue jammed between the cab and bed, and the interior/glass don't appear to be sitting quite right; in addition to the crack/missing emblems. Yup....$110 is WAY out of whack! -
I'm 90% certain the bike is only in the first issue you posted. I picked one up a couple of years ago just for the bike. I was assured by the seller that the bike was complete, but a few pieces were missing. I can scratch the missing bits though. I always assumed the bike was an Ace, not a Henderson. Guess I'll have to do some research.

Back in the day when these cars were commonly seen on the road a lot of them "dog-tracked", like a car that had been seriously hit and poorly repaired.. For some reason it was very common on the X-bodies.

Yup....you could spot those sidewinders coming at you from a mile away. I never knew why.

It's a long-bed 2-wheel drive

The mini-bike is the c1969 Rupp that was included in the '77 Monaco annual kit.

Circa early 1990's "save" of an original AMT Trophy Series '34 Ford Pckup

Of the many rods featured in your magazine articles this one has always been one of my favorites. It's nice to see it again. -
Well done!

I hear you re the blackwalls. The only way to lower this thing is without re-engineering the interior and chassis is swapping the wheels, and I had to grind away some of the wheel-opening plastic to fit the small tires I used. I wanted to avoid the lowrider look by using whitewalls (or applying them to these tires) ......I don't think Virgil Exner Sr or Jr envisioned it in that form.
