Probably try to use the good parts, like bumpers, wheels etc with an AMT 58 Plymouth Fury kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Suddenly it really is 1960! The seller at the flea market thought these were promos. He lowered his price once I convinced him they're not, since they are unwarped. Both are kits put together and painted long ago by a careful builder. You can see that both have the usual "Jo-Han Sag" in the rear, caused by the lowering blocks coming unglued. Easily fixed. Other than that both are complete and in good shape.

Roadrunner Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I recently made a deal with a fellow forumite (different forum), for a bunch of military models. He threw this in as "packing material". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Got a set of Terra Tires and Impala police wheel set from Modelhaus Tires. Don't even have a project in mind, but just liked both sets. Quick shipping and amazing quality.

Quiet Eric Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 These two cars were incredibly influential on me as a youngin’...I did have both as quick-builder kits way back when and did an awful job putting them together. Hopefully I can do them both a little bit more justice this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been disappointed on how these early Promos would curl up in time. The proportions of the body and trim were for the most part very realistic. They could have been used in present time as resin basses if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
