The Matadoor has all the stock parts except headlights, taillights, front turn signal lenses, swaybar and decals. Johnny, I'm pretty sure the Mats headlights and front signal lights are molded to the grille, not separate pieces. That's how they are on my '77.

Can-Con Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just now, OldTrucker said: Yes! I'd try a set of lenses from an AMT '70 Camaro with the SS nose. Looks pretty close and I bet those Mat pieces will be pretty hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 My buddy Mark just brought me a 911 Moby dick kit. Chris Smith , I , Mark and Steve received one. He made a deal with Mr. Hiro and gave each one of us a kit. 1/12 martini 911 . Might have to put away the 917/30 to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also scored a couple cans of Testor's Metalizer Aluminum and a can of Fabric Tan on $1.67 clearance from the Deerfield Hobby Lobby. Was hoping they'd have the GTO Super Stocker, but not yet. You are more than welcome Chris. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Got this today. I want to replicate my Mechanic's Nova. Now all I need is a photo as I've never seen it. Only was told about it. He hasn't done anything with it in 20 years which is a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build it the way that you want to, then glue a dusty car cover over it. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows Mr Hiro and traded many thousands of dollars of models from Mr Hiro. So he had a chance to get these for just a little compared to retail. So he gave us all one and here we go.

I could probably claim him as dependent on taxes, but I'm not a hitter like that. Post in build thread if time. Enjoy in health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathgoblin Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I lucked into a 1/24 Airfix Aston Martin 007 kit. She's a little gluebombed, but looks to be pretty complete. Got it for $29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
