DumpyDan Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Wow, I remember this in Street Rodder Mag. This is one of my favorite models of all time to build, and this is cool with the chop top, great model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 A very impressive model. Remember following the build up articles in street rodder. That was a great howto series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I remember the how - to articles on this awesome model very clearly, Tim. It was just as I was getting back into model building after the seemingly compulsory break to get a real car, look for girls, go to university etc. It is a beautiful time capsule of modelling techniques and styles of the time and yet it would be perfectly comfortable sitting on any NNL table today. Lots of goodness to view here - the cleanly detailed dash with realistic texture, the precise red and blue fittings (I'm guessing clear paint but wow, talk about neat!) the sharp separation between the black firewall and the gold body, not to mention the effort involved in opening and hinging the very fragile chopped doors, and, thank goodness, you didn't stick those awful chromed louvres on the front fenders - definitely a case of less is more right there!

PARTS GUY Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 So cool to see in color. I remember waiting every month for my dads magazine to come in just to see what was next to be done. Was so cool to have a model car section in the magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Thanks everyone for taking a look and for your comments. Kinda cool to hear that a few of you remember the model from its magazine appearances nearly...yikes...40 years ago! Hope all you U.S. based folks had a happy thanksgiving with your families and best wishes to all. TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Dang, that's nice!! Thanks for all the detail pics. I don't build in this style but I can learn a ton from observing the various design and engineering choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I took those from one of the reissues of the Monogram Tom Daniel 1960 Chevy Sedan Delivery circa 1980 or so...my memory says "Bad Actor" (not located where I can double check right now). Hope that helps, Bill....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
