Nice.

Interesting.

Very, very nice. I'm impressed.

Wow! Very nice. The '57 Chevy looks good too.

I don't know if I've posted this model in the past or nor. But, Dan Clark's dad's build inspired me to want to show you my Matador.

Thank you. But, I need to find better decals.

Your looks good too. Bad timing or not.

I don't think the real Matadors were ugly. But, I've got to say, that the above is an improvement. Very nice.

Yea, Steve's Bel Air above is stunning. And knowing his work, it looks even better in person.

I knew there had be a Cobra somewhere in this purchase. I love Ford's C Series trucks. And found AMT's kit to be pleasure to build. I'm looking forward to seeing the above kit, with its Cobra load when your done building it.

That's very cool. I really liked the "Hitting the Trap" story. My memory is such, that I don't remember most of these "Hot Rod" comic books being all that good. That one I like.

I kind of like it. Including the sound it makes. Is it sacrilege? I'm not sure? But, it's interesting. And maybe the future in many ways.

Tamiya is offering a Corvair Rampside? Wow! I hope this info is true.

My Mother the Car model car was a modified version of AMT's '27 Ford Model T Touring kit.

I agree with most everybody here. A very nice model.

I had hunch on that. Cool.

Beautiful. The color looks correct to what is on the box art. I like it.

Oh, and by the way. I may have used Fred Cady decals in the past when I built my MPC Ford GT40 Mk IV a couple of years ago. I don't remember for sure if I used Fred Cady decals or not. Fred Cady did make decals for the GT40 Mk IV. If they were Fred Cady decals, they were pretty good.

A very good link you gave above Snake. ☝️ It really points out the good and bad of this kit very well. And it make me lust for the Fred Cady decals even more. I see Fred Cady had both the "A" and "B" striping package setups. Plus other minor decals, which others sets do not include. By the way, my kit started out in slightly better condition then his, as far as the plastic goes. He had a complete kit on the trees. But, thankfully mine was molded in white plastic and didn't show any ready problems with thickness, flash, or mold lines like his did. Though, the later two may have taken care of by a previous owner of my kit. Another point that has been brought up several times about this kit. Everybody notes the missing side marker lights, required on '68 and '69 Ramblers missing from this kit. I'd like to point out that the interior of this model is also not correct for a '69 SC/Rambler. In '69, at least with the SC/Rambler, they did not come with bucket seats. SC/Ramblers came with a bench. The split reclining bench from what I remember. But, no buckets. I'm not sure if any 1969 Ramber could be equipped with bucket seats or not? Buckets were offered in previous years. So obviously the Jo-Han based this kit with very few modifications on their earlier '67 Ramber Rouge kit. Which was good enough for most of us "kids" back in 1969. I more than likely would not have known the difference back in 1969 or '70, when I was 11 or 12 years old. It would have just look like a correct SC/Rambler to me. If I known what a SC/Rambler was at the time? Which I don't think I knew about the SC/Rambler until two years later, when I saw one in my first Auto World catalog.

I hope Keith Marks would do decals for this kit. I've had very good results with the ones I've gotten from him to past.

Went to eBay to see I can find. Plenty from Fred Cady's decals. But, non for the SC/Rambler. The SC/Rambler decals were the one from Firebird Designs. I'll have to keep me open for Cady's in the future. I don't know if I've ever used his stuff or not. But, it seems to me, I've always heard good things about his decals. I'd like to others options on if this is true?

Yea. That was a '75. A Cutlass S, minus the 442 package. Factory stock. Curbside snap kit. I'm willing to bet that the Jo-Han dies were not modified for this. There are enough differences between the 1975 and the '76 - '77 Cutlasses to probably not make a conversion of Jo-Hans dies all that easy. Plus, there were no NASCAR version or parts with the Jo-Han kit.

Very nice. ?

Fred Cady made decals for this kit? Were they any good? And can one still get them?
