I am looking into trying to mate the rear of the BossNova Funny Car wagon onto the Hasegawa four door kit to try and make a wagon. As for the Revell kit, I have a spare body and I think the Doyusha Bluebird wheel wells might work on it. But, I also conisdered cutting off the flares and making a box flared 510 out of it. Another option is to convert the four door Hasegawa kit into a two door. Remember, the wheelbase on the four door and the two door cars are the same and a few have actually done this conversion on the 1:1 cars. Just something to think about.

I go both ways!

Well, I know that this will stop me from raiding my other kits for parts! Just print what I need!! And it will also stop folks from buying extra kits for the parts once the files hit the web. I really do not see someone printing a whole kit, yet, but I do see lots of spare parts and custom parts being done. So lets get excited and get onboard! Now, a replacement for ALPS is needed!!

So, are you going to hide it, make up a story on how it got stolen and surprise yourself with it? Just messin! Get to building!

Ah forget it! I'm sticking to Balsa Wood and a Butter Knife! See you in the future!!

Well, they did correct the 69 Charger and the world was happy. I see why they can not do the same with the Mustang as it appears to be a good seller for them if it is done right.

Got it from a private collection. Worked out a good deal and we are all happy!

So, has anyone called Revell on this one? No, I have not read the whole thread as it appears to be quite repetitive. I mean, folks call them for lost wheels, scratch glass and decals, why not for an innacurate body? Just my random thoughts!

If you are going to score, score big!

Very cool! I wonder if I could use my drill press as a vertical lathe?

Nostalgia, plain 'ol nostalgia!

I could have bought one for next to nothing, but for what? Bragging rights that I have one? It is a wacky car to add to the collction, but would I ever really build it or just hoard it? I have purchased every Tom Daniels re-issue and a couple of originals and, barring the Bad Man and Red Barron, I have yet to start gluing any of them together. Even the formerly coveted Rommel's Rod and Tijuana Taxi! Now they I have them they just sit there. This is a niche car for sure and Steve would be in a better spot dealing with the new Revell Regime to get it released as a Selected Subjects kit.

Eric Clapton got into model cars while going through rehab.

Nice rail, Jim!

Wow! I used to have that Lancia and the Bug! I am currently trying to find them both again!

Nice! Where did you get them?

Some of those bodies are from the big resin makers and they are just being cleared out by some folks. My friends Skips family has been posting his stuff lately at pretty low prices and it is quality resin. Some is from Competition Resins, SMB, Speed City and others as well as vintage resin from makers who are now out of business. As long as the body looks nice, go for it!

That is some really nice work! Go Mark, Go!

"I want my two dollars! Cash!"

Those Hasegawa Toyotas build up really nice!

Must get one!

Who is Noone? Just yanking on Drew's chain!

All I know is that it is ok to do shiny paint jobs on Dragsters! That's right, roundy round cars are not the only race cars in the world! It cracks me up that it always boils down to NASCRAP builds! In the end it is the folks looking at the models on the contest tables that end up admiring "the shiny toy cars"! Just go build something!
