What I meant was to find another Low Rider version again, not just another Revell '57 I have several versions of it in my stash, including an original issue of the first one in mint condition.

I like it and I need to get one. But the crazy part is that this is based on a real car!

This is cool! Back in High School, this girl I knew had one about this color. I swear they painted everything on the car with the same paint!

Would be cool..

I would like to find a more mint version of this kit, as the one I have is a total glue bomb I found at the Swap Meet years ago. I also have the bookend to it, the Bad Dream '56 Honestly, I have never finished one of these kits! They are very detailed, but a pain to build into a decent model.

Nice! Resin, Plastic or Both?

I don't doubt you know, but, then again, so do I. I have owned cars with regular style wheels and tires and High Performance types. And yes, they can ride a bit rougher, but is mostly due to the suspension set up. Stock on Stock is, well, stock. Modified wheels and tires on stock is a bad idea, and even worse on cobbled together suspensions, like the cars you posted. Well thought out and engineered suspensions usually handle most driving and can be set up for street or track. The days of cutting or heating coils, air shocks and long shackles are dead, unless that is your thing. But to compare what you posted to what I posted is like comparing rocks to feathers, not the same.

Finally! I can try and build them again after all these years! And I will assume, since the Black Max is a Harry Bradley design, and most likely was copyrighted by him, there must be a fee they didn't want to pay. The Mail Box Trike has it's original name due to the fee they must have paid for Roth's name to stay on it.

Sharp! Really Sharp!

Yeah, I'm not

CKD was never really that good of a Mag to me. And I am surprised it is still around! TRC was a nicer and better quality mag and it is sad it went away.

Nice to see the "Get Off My Lawn!" crowd is alive and well! Maybe they should put those 14" wheels back on this thing...

Would make a cool Cackle Car

So, I just finished reading this and I must say, it seemed like a pretty short read! So much good stuff! Reading some parts of the book reminded me of the conversations I had with Tom West about the industry and what he did for our hobby. I miss Tom West. Thank Mr. Boyd for capturing a great chunk of our hobby once again and saving it's history.

Yup And the Restoration

Yeah, the remains where on display at the California Hot Rod Reunion, along with the replacement being built at the time.

Well, Amazon sent me a message last week to inform me that they lost my package and that I could either get a refund or order another one. I waited one day and it showed up! Amazon delivery has been a bit overwhelmed and it is understandable that thing will not be on time all the time. And scaring me with losing it is not good.

Wow! The original post was from 14 years ago!!

While I really do love the AMT Vans, the MPC ones where way ahead in the detail department. Full interiors and more outside accessories, plus the 4X4 version of the Ford van where awesome. In my opinion, the MPC Vans where #1, then AMT Vans and then dead last, Revell Vans. Monogram are honorable mention because of them being 1/24 and decently shaped.

They need to bring back the MPC Van. It has an interior and opening side door

Well I am glad you fought back! That looks really nice! And yes, the Mickey looks really cool!

Why the mystery, they are just painted black. Lots of engine builders painted the engines and associated parts black to help dissipate heat.

That'll make a fun desk toy! Reverse the prop and turn it into a fan! Thanks for posting this!

One of my all time favorite kits, and luckily I have one! But, a few more would not hurt.
