Great job on a very fiddly kit! Love your color choices and everything is done very well!

This is fantastic work! The corrections, details and stance add up for an outstanding model!

Very cool! Model and story!

Nice improvements! It is cool how you just keep tweaking until it is just right!

Super job on this! Really like the engine and the '73 Cougar engine bay makes a huge difference!

Really diggin' the green one!

Excellent job!

Did a little internet sleuthing and it says Ollie's was founded in Mechanicsburg, PA. They have 2 distribution centers: 1 in York, PA. and the other in Georgia. I am in PA. and check 3 stores. Usually, at least one will get a load of whatever good kits come in. The stores are all around 2 hours away from York. The Ollie's I have been to on the east coast of FL., Merritt Island, etc. seem to be pretty well stocked too. My guess is their stock comes from the Georgia distribution center.

That's a real car right? Seriously, fantastic job on this! Cool that you can swap the wheels!

Glad you switched the wheels! Much better choice! Great stance, and I like the engine upgrade too!

I was able to get a couple of the AWB Novas, an Opel GT, '32 Phaeton and the "Corvette". I have to admit, I get suckered in because these are cheap. I don't mind the Novas because I build mostly drag cars, so I will do something with them or the parts, same with the Opel. I want to build a later model gasser out of one of those and was glad to get it. Even the '32 is a good parts car, but just an FYI, the Corvette is not good at all and the parts are not even great. I knew better and bought it anyway, figuring I would pull the good parts and make some type of drag car out of it. I did not realize the body is "Palmeresque" in nature. Yikes! More power to you if you dig it and you know what it is, but if not, I would highly recommend leaving it on the shelf.

Love it! One of my favorite kits!

FWIW, that kit is very basic and is either snap together or snap based. It originally had plastic tires, it probably still will.

Fwiw, any of the AMT Trophy Series Ford custom engines are pretty much drop in swaps. The '32 roadster has a hemi, the '32 Coupe has a pretty crappy smbc, The '34 pickup has an FE Ford, the '25 T has a Lincoln "sort of", The '36 has a Pontiac and the '40 sedan has an Olds. I really don't like Nailheads, so mine will get the Pontiac or Olds engine.....

Wow! Great job! Nice use of aftermarket hubcaps and the color is perfect for that style Mustang.

Wow! Excellent work!

Wow! Both of those are very nice! The '62 looks good with those wheels. Nice stance too!

Just finished a trade with Zippi, great to deal with, everything went very well!

Hi, I am looking to trade for a hood (turquoise/aqua plastic) for the original issue Monogram 1940 Ford Pickup, or a complete beater/glue bomb if the hood is intact. I bought a very nice unbuilt kit, but it is missing the hood. I would like to have one for it in the correct color. Any help appreciated.

Cool! Those wheels look really good!

I am not sure any kit had an engine that was specifically labeled as a Pontiac 350, but they look pretty much the same as a 400/455 externally.

I love old hot rod Fords, but after seeing this video, gonna pass on this one. Life is too short and I have plenty of vintage Trophy Series and modern Revell '32's.

Nice job on both!

Super job! Everything is dead on!
