Flat Out is Far Out! Crazy Cool build!!

This thing is Crazy Cool! Very nice job!!

Very cool! Makes me miss my 71 Malibu! ?

Their race cars where something else as well

The Revell Attempt 1 front wheels are more correct for this car. This is not my build, it is from the web, and its really nice!

It's a disassembled die cast

There used to be a Discount Clearance style store near my house that carried quite a few Aurora kits and weird import stuff as well. I would check every few weeks to see what would come in and get cleared out. Family style bargain stores where also pretty good hunting grounds. I remember one having a bunch of Ertl farm vehicle kits for just a few bucks. Wish I still had some of the models I scored there.

And don't forget their rivals, the Bloodhound Gang!

Those things are huge!

Adding cogs is just way more than needed. Even on a contest model, the tape by itself looks good. Using the belts out of VCR's or the like are just too much. The scale is way off and they look silly in the end.

Black painted masking tape. Yup, it looks fine!

I remember in the early 70's, I must've been around 6 or 7 years old, a full on Revell Display with all kinds of cool kits in the back of a Super Market in Tijuana, Mexico!

Oddly enough, i was wondering about the effect of the virus on modeling and this popped up on Instagram from Model Round Up So what else can be and will be affected? free image hosting

Oh yeah! And some cool stuff as well. A friends older brother told me that most of them, in our neighborhood, even held model contest at one point! Our local grocery stores also carried models

7-Eleven was a cool place to find kits, as was Ace Hardware, Thrifty Drug, Longs Drug, Salvation Army Thrift Shop, A Mom and Pop Grocery in the San Diego County Back Country. You just never knew where they would pop up!

I know, but, in scale, they are pretty close.

Monogram Shelby kit had them

This is sharp! Very cool build!

How many have you bought? So far, I have bought only 2.

Or Chevy

Well, post it up

Very cool! It has that right look to it
