Well done! Great color and detailing, especially the engine! It really has the street machine look!

Those are good deals, the problem with Amazon, in my experience is, there is a very high chance they will be shipped in a mailer bag and will look like someone jumped up and down on the box when you get them! 😉

I think you did a great job of integrating the three different styles, that is not easy to do. Eventhough they are not that far apart in years, they have vastly different styling cues.

Nice! I like the paint, what did you use?

Nice work! I love these old Monogram muscle kits too! One of the first models I built nicely was the '71 Hemi Cuda, original box. I remember buying it at Ben Franklin!

Wow! They are both beauties! I always liked the '65 styling and the early RT cars are super sharp too! Nice that the '65 is a big block!

I agree. Honestly, I don't understand the hubbub around Johan kits. And, is it going to matter at all if this Powell truck ever sees the light of day? Over the years I have had MANY Johan kits, from original issue 60's cars to the 80's era reissues. IF you want certain cars, I get it, they are the only game in town. Also, they tend to have accurate body proportions. There were some pretty detailed and nice kits, such as the funny car kits and the Chrysler Turbine Car, but the majority of what they made had lackluster chassis, interior and engine detail. Not to mention the later stuff was molded in weird, hard to paint colors and some had excessive flash. They also often had parts that were incorrect for the car, such as Plymouth interiors in Dodge cars,etc. Ultimately, I think people wax nostalgic and they bring the money on Ebay because they are perseved as finite, and that drives the price, I really doubt if they were readily available that we would be having this perpetual discussion.

I just finished my previous post as you posted the new pics! In all honesty, It really doesn't look bad to me. Keep in mind race cars are usually far from perfect!

Sorry to hear about your trouble, the model was coming along so well!☹️ I feel your pain, I Almost quit building about 2 years ago over an Amt '62 Catalina, I had everything detailed and painted very nicely, and boogered it up badly in final assembly...not sure if I had a bad kit fit wise, or I did something wrong, but it made me walk away for a bit. Just give yourself some time, that is the smartest move.👍

Outstanding work!

Nice job! I like the engine mods you did, a big improvement over the kit parts!

Very impressive work and an outstanding model!

This is really cool! I have seen these kits over years and wrote them off as unassembled toys. It is great that you saw more! It looks like one of the Chrysler show cars or an Italian American hybrid of that time period.

Excellent work! The color combination is perfect! The 120 is a beautiful car!

The first model I built by myself was this issue of the Lindberg 1932 Ford pickup. It was molded in yellow with no chrome parts. I glued it together with no paint. I believe it was a birthday present, circa 1979. I will say it had cool box art, though I doubt I appreciated it then ! There are a few bits and pieces from it still in my parts boxes.

Super cool! You definitely nailed the street freak look! Great color choices!

Great job on a difficult kit! Love the chassis detailing and paint work!

Super nice work!

Nice work! Great colors and detail!

Great day 2 build! Love the wheels and stance! If I ever get around to building mine, it will be similar to this!

Very nice work! High level of craftsmanship and detailing!

Outstanding work! Stance and details are spot on!

Wow! Fantastic work! There are a few on here that are at a level well above the rest of us. You sir, fall into that category!

Your model is so very cool! I wish I hadn't seen this because I wasn't going to buy the new Atlantis kit, but now I will have to! Will need to swap the Ford engine for a Hemi though......

Super nice work! Great color! I have never had this kit (aside from a beater parts car),but after seeing your build, I might track one down!
