hopefully noone here outbids me on Evilbay over the blue one lol

thanks same to you great trade indeed will trade anytime!

I'm certainly aware of that Tom probly idenical except for the front facia and some other minor parts one engine may be turbo vs. the other being non turbo, it was alot of the same like you said with other kits of the era i have many of the foxbodys they all share parts, the mini mopar dodge daytona chargers are all similar some years had different parts its all fun tho i'd like to build one of each version thats what its all about!!

Hello all, I love mpc kits the 80's seemed to have been a good time for the manufacturers at mpc, There were all sorts of cars and trucks being pumped out, dodge trucks of all years throughout the 70's mini mopars omni's daytona chargers, very cool stuff indeed all foxbody mustangs lots of very cool stuff I have for probly 2 years been trying to get a ford EXP there is always a 1/32 scale one for sale usually on the flea bay, when the EXP 1/25 scale ones show up i always get out bid!! they get way out of hand!! think i'm going to heed Evil benny's advice/ suggestion place my "yamaha" powered v6 sho taurus motor in the exp.... I finally got the yellow kit for a fair price will post pics when it arrives because yes i am going to open up the sealed kit i'm also trying to get a blue one sealed... see how that goes..... heres the next one i'm after..... wish me luck!

so I should be ashamed of myself if I ask around on questions about things I may not know?? me confuseded ??!!??

love it! although a little too high for my likes. (wheres the ladder to get in lol) i always thought "cummins" was a dodge thing?

i missed that show and really wanted to watch it, my co worker roy said it was Great tho

hey jesse thanks again for that trade...... let me know when your ready to trade some of them record(s) for model car kits! lol i have been using my new x mas christmas present the wife got me (small record player) while tinkering with the model stuff when i get the chances! theres something about listening to records that just does something to ya..... feels good

very nice..... so jelous!! i can't scratchbuild like that to save my life.....

I have had that happen before on some older mpc model kits want to say theres some chemical within the rubbers from the tires that has a reaction to regular plastic parts..... that is perhaps why nowadays they usually have tires seperated in their own plastic bags in the kit boxes..... i may be wrong tho or therer might be technical jargin for this epedemic but you are not alone in this matter

the mercury capri would that not be the correct shape for the body of the euro ford rs?? shape seems pretty close

hey Erik how much was your dehydrator?? where did you get it? it obviously works great! Bartster gave me some pointers about baking model car bodies in the oven to "gass" out the paint but if not careful that can lead to disaster! lol

so cool!! thanks for that technique on the rear "deep" wheels i have some rims i may have to try that with!!

wowo where does one get that kit?? i wish the stateside escorts looked like that they look so close to a "baby" smaller 85 gt mustang kinda basically were for the most part?? that would complete my escort stash..... to buildup

i open my "rare " stuff had to hide 3 of those older mpc foxbody mustang kits from myself that are factory sealed so i won't open them!! one is a annivarsary mustang!!

I love the 80's!! lmao watched the intro clip looks like something i would have soooo been into Never had cable tv so i may not have seen this cartoon a whole lot i was busy watching pbs cartoons and hanna barberra cartoons (those never get old) wonder if the series is on dvd its one i'd soooo add to the collection of initial d anime's

pretty neat! what brand kit is that? that engine looks super detailed for being a "snap kit"

i don't know of a "white version" just the black molded (easier to find) and the older version of silver molded has sunken in headlamps vs black kit has the flush "compound" lamps both kit versions can be built with the headlamps either way ( the little plastic lenses are inserts to the chrome housing) its funny the recaro seats and the little clear plastic headlamp pcs can be founf in the reissued 87-88 gt mustangs by amt/mpc. i had always wondered what those clear lenses were for untill i got one of the old svo kits on the 87-88 you can very carefully remove the "cheesegrater" molded in taillamps and use the clear "lx" / gt style clear tail lamp buckets insted! was it their early attempt to be able to customize a gt 5.0 to a base model 5.0 lx?? Eric great shiney build!! my paint never turns out so nice..... I would reccomend on the seat head rests to carefully remove the "mesh" from the headrests...... or paint the mesh black don't think svo's came with halo seats think they had "lx" style short headrests ?? otherwise spot on b uild!! you have motivated me to get something done!!

very cool but whats mask? i really liked the camaro before it came apart that looked like a nice clean build, altho i look forward to see where this goes

welcome both of my fellow minnesota builders!! I am originally minnesotan myself! 18 years then military/ uncle same moved me south! although i've now been home 2 days now without work due to sleet ice / snow mixtures on the gulfcoast of mississippi I originally from twin cites area myself WELCOME this is a great place I'm from Burnsville/ apple valley just south of mall of america I miss Minnesota many a days especially all the food joints you jus t don't have anywhere else! There is only ONE Lions Tap worlds best burger by far and i have travelled the world.... although ya'll can keep the cold and below zero!! there are no Davanni's pizza's or carboni's man i really want some pizza lol

i like what ford did with the mustang forgot what year they did it and if they still do it or not?? beleive it was with the new 5.0 and the "boss" version?? it was called "track pack" you buy your new 5.0 mustang with 2 seperate ecus? or 2 completely seperate permamant programs in the ecu and the car has 2 different keys keyed up accordingly to how you want to drive...... the regular key is for normal driving the "track" key changes the ecu to change redlines/ shift points/ revs, / engine timing etc etc thats how i would do it!! but i think thos e copos may be the same way? but they are sold a s "race" only but if one has all th e money to do so i think you can get upto 3 engines all tuned differently and the ecm dialed to each of the motors and you can swap em back and fourth? think i read that in hot rod magazine??

thats the best quote of the movie!! love the car and the movie! sold my movie posters on evil bay

nope just the slightly older eclipse the eclipse/ laser/ eagle talon bodied eclipse..... boxxed under fast n furious box art pretty sweet kit tho

i'm sure it will be pure awsomeness as the model king repop was killer good !! firestone super stones thats awsome i saw jack at model roundup will have them february its on my valentines want list wife said i could get it

i would love to have one of the "gt" before the gt model it was like the ford escort and the exp rolled into the same car cool little cars!
