The Nova ran in NASCAR Busch series for a while, the Cougar was used by a few short track guys.....so there's that. Back in the day I cut up a Cougar to make my Montego Cup car.....no laughing the build is from 1974!!

I LIKE!!!

Made a recon trip to see if anything new at my store. NOTHING after all the stuff we saw last week in Mooresville thought we may get something. Save me $$$$$

Not 100% sure this is the oldest.....but it is among the oldest I still have. It is a Wood's Bros #21 Mercury driven by David Pearson. It started life as a JoHan 1972 Gran Torino NASCAR kit. I reworked it into a 1973 Montego. I used a 73 Cougar grille, modified. Rear quarters were smoothed. I built this about 1975 so long before resin bodies, aftermarket decals etc. The Purolator is dry transfer lettering. The other decals were from the MPC Wood's kit. I pulled the kit from storage and decided to leave it as is......It may look rough.....but she is 45+ years old!!!

25% off kits tonight after 1800..........

yep!!!

The original Monogram 1955 was a 3 in 1 kit. Stock, custom and convertible. That tooling was cut up for the Badman kit. My buddy found an original kit to make a 1/24 55 drag car!!

Well done!! a tough kit for sure!

Very well done...a fav of mine!

I'm going Sunday night to the 25% off deal....if they have one I will pick up. Kits will be about $10 during sale.

Today @ Mooresville NC store...... Atlantis is now on the Ollie's train.....and more new to me kits...... James Bond police kits, 57 Chevt cpe and wag, Mustang cvt etc

Nice work!!!

That is a ton of work. I have a UMI IMSA JAG kit that I gave up on years ago.......

The last issue of Lil Gasser sold pretty well so a reissue of Yeller would not be out of the question. Not sure the status of showrod kits at R2 right now. Yearss ago I offered a kit myself of Yeller I wanted one so bad..... laser cut body

Madame decals , .not heard that name in a while!!!! I was half of DNL Hobbies during that time period. It came out well.......

I hope you send your pics to him...... They have the tire tooling as it shares with Groovy Grader.......

My son dropped off the kits he got for me. NOT really sure why I had him pick up the RM Firebird kit. Opening it confirmed it the same horrible Revell kit from their toy era. It was molded in AUG 2023 so it was made just for Ollie's. We need a term for the Ollie's only run of kits!!! The Firebird is poor on detail, more flash than in the 70's when it was tooled. Front tires are hard plastic 2 piece with the rears pie crust slicks....maybe the best part of the kit. For fun I may see if I can make SOMETHING half decent from this pigs ear!!!! Thx

My son found taxi and firebird kits oin va today

VERY VERY COOL SPIN!!! i LOVE THAT KIT....AND WHAT A GREAT SPIN YOU PUT ON IT. I am hoping Atlantis has the tooling for that kit!!!

That is a tough one there!!!!! I too am gathering parts.....good luck!

Oppsss.....posted the trailer too........LOTS of new cars to build

First Moonraker sighting!! thx

Glad you got it finished up!!!! Looks great...was waiting to start one until you finished! thx

My wallet is going to take a beating
