  1. What method did you use to make your cut/joint-lines in that pieced-together body disappear like they have?
  2. I have to agree with you Mr. Mopar. The time it has taken Revell to get this kit available for purchase has been too long for me, my interest has faded away. My recent understanding is there will be several future variations of this kit released; I'll be waiting to see what those might be and hopefully my interest in one of those kits will be enough to rekindle my interest enough to open my wallet.
  3. I am looking to trade for the following 1/25 Revell '68 or '69 Dodge Charger 440 engine parts, (these parts are found in both years of these Revell Charger kits): Part #45 - Coil Part #50 - Distributor Part #56 - Fan Clutch (Chrome/not shown in pic below) Part #62 - Starter Part #63 - Power Steering Pump Part #93 - Oil Pump/Filter Most of these parts can be seen in my reference pic below. Parts can be fresh-off-the-tree or from a built-up if still in good, reuseable condition. I have a good selection of parts to trade from. Thanks!
  4. I'm a bit curious about the best method to make the clear taillight lenses the color Red. Originally thought a wash of Red paint across the backside (that'll be inside the body), might do it, but I'm not so sure. I'm surprised they didn't get molded in Red/clear instead of clear/clear. I'm also wondering, (but doubtful), that a set of Red/clear taillights from a different kit might "drop-fit" into this new Revell kit.
  5. Lovely build! Can I ask what scale it is?
  6. Great looking build! Love these obscure, vintage Nascar subjects and you nailed this one!
  7. Is there any word out there regarding when this kit will be available to purchase?
  8. Sure would like to see a picture or two of that "weed burner" exhaust system!
  9. Really like this build! I'm curious about the exhaust system on this build; does it route/dump underneath?
  10. This is a fantastic looking build! Do you remember what tires you used for this build?
  11. I'm curious; does the inner-bed floor piece have molded detail on both top and bottom? I've heard talk of swapping-in a more detailed chassis and suspension from the AMT 1950's-era Ford pickup kits but am wondering if that '60s bed floor piece might be completely smooth on its underside?
  12. This 67 Corvette is another example of Revell's new box art "knocking-it-outta-da-ballpark!"
  13. Thanks for the input, Mark. It leads me to the following questions; would the '69 Wildcat kit's engine and chassis parts be appropriate and drop-fit into the '70 body?
  14. Not only are these some awesome upcoming kit releases, but I'd add that Revell is hitting-it-outta-the-park with some of their new box art!
  15. Let me go into the kit vault and do some digging.
  16. I am looking to trade for a 1/25 AMT/Round2 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Station Wagon body that just has a good roof on it for a project idea that I have in my head. I'm not interested in a complete kit; just looking for a body that can be rough as long as it has a good roof on it. I have parts to trade. I'm in Illinois... thanks!
  17. Curious as I recently read some model car related Facebook posts that builders were getting some Clearance priced kits for $5.00 each at Walmart. My local store has a big "Clearance" sign on top of the available kits but they're clearance priced at $17.00 each. Should I hold-out hope that the price will eventually drop even lower?
  18. Great build! I'm stealing your awesome scrapbook tape interior trick!
  19. The dashboard and steering wheel parts I'm looking for look like this:
  20. I'm looking to trade for a dashboard and steering wheel piece from either the 1/25 AMT/Round2 '65 Chevelle Station Wagon and/or '65 El Camino kits and the interior tub piece from the El Camino kit. The dash and steering wheel pieces are the same in all of the many different releases of either of these 2 kits, (the box art pics shown are just examples of some of these kit's boxes). I have a variety of parts to trade; I'm located in Illinois... thanks!
  21. I certainly appreciate this info on the kit's fit issues... thanks!
  22. A great looking build; well done! I have this kit in the works and am curious if you might describe some of the fit issues you encountered.
  23. I am looking to trade for the following 1/25 AMT/Round2 '67 Chevelle Pro-Street Rear Suspension parts: Part #66 Upper Rear Axle Part #67 Lower Rear Axle Part #123 Chrome Rear Springs (2) Part #33 Driveshaft These parts can be fresh-from-the-tree or from a built-up if in good, restoreable condition and can be from any one of the multiple versions of this kit that have been released as the parts are the same in all of those kits. (Box art reference pic is just the most recent version of this kit). I have various parts to trade; I live in Illinois. Thanks!
  24. Any updates out there regarding when this kit might be available?
