Are you sure the real Starsky and Hutch car was a six? About that time in the mid-70's, I thought Ford quit offering sixs in Torinos for a couple of years. I may be wrong on that. As far as the Munstermobile and Monkeemobile. There were a lot of us who liked those shows and the special cars that appeared on them. As a kid, I build both the Munstermobile (plus Grandpa's Dragster) and the Monkeemobile. I have a more recent Monkeemobile release I hope to get to some day. And from time to time, I still think about picking up another Munstermobile and Grandpa's Dragster. I'm glad they tooled all three. The Kookie car, Cheetah, and the Chaparrals would all be nice. The Chaparrals remind me, I'd like to see some nice 1960's Ford GT40s. IMC did several, Chaparrals and GT40s. But, from what I've seen and heard, none were easy to build. Scott

Very nice. I have to pick one of these up, somewhere along the line. Scott

I use super glues and sometimes Testor's old glue in the tube. But, what I use most of the time is Testor's Model Master Liquid Cement for Plastic Models. It gives me a good bond, good control, very little mess, and is easy to handle. I maybe switched to this as my primary adhesive about 20 years ago, with great results. For clear parts, I use Testor's Model Master Clear Parts Cement & Window Maker. The only thing I really stay away from, and I'm not sure if they even make it any more, is non-toxic model glues. Never had any luck with the bonding results with those in the past. Scott

Don't forget Dave, Moebius instructions for Hudsons at least, are also great. Scott

I still like the kit. It's a typical MPC from the early to mid-70's. As you can see from Andre's build, it can be a nice looking kit by the time you finish it. And as noted by Rick, the kit still comes with the trailer. Scott

Looks great Tom. A simple but fun kit. I built the '61 a couple of years ago. And I have the '60 sitting in the soon to do pile. As far as the tonneau cover, Bruce, both the '60 and '61 AMT Rancheros include it. Scott

I thought I checked that one carefully. But, rechecking your right Harry. It looks like that XL emblem was the same on '62 1/2 and '63 XLs. Sorry about that guys! Scott

Built the model kit many years ago. Around 1970 or '71. And yes even the model had a Toronado drivetrain. The engine sits just behind the driver. In front of the main passenger compartment. I think the model sold by the company Eldon. If the model ever appears back on the market I'd buy one. It's kind of a dumb design, but it's part of my childhood. Scott

Still working on this Dave. How strong and clear is this watch crystal glue? Tell me more. Scott

Good looking 'Cuda. Way to go. Scott

I was wondering about Hubleys also. Didn't they offer a Model A Fordor Sedan as one of their metal A kits? Scott

Wow! Very cool in so many ways. I like it! Scott

I love the license plate. After the Chevy disaster it's exactly what you needed. Scott

Another nice one, Jim. Scott

Great looking and Edsel too! I'm envious. I'd love to add a '60 Edsel to my collection someday. Scott

Another nice looking Ford. Scott

Looks great, of course. But, I expect that of anything you do. Scott

Wow! Very nice. And thanks for including info on the color. It looks great. Scott

Plus the Police car market is really not all that big. Scott

I'm sorry I misunderstood. Your looking for an MPC Charger III. Scott

I'd love to see it and the Charger III you have listed as working on. Scott

Wayne contact me at: unclescott58@usiwireless. I've tried a couple of time to send a message through "proper" forum channels. But, it says I can not send it too you. Heck if I know why? Scott

Who was it that said,"Too much of ________ (fill in the blank) is wonderful."? It seems right to see a Dodge/Mopar product doing something as politically incorrect and primitive as these burn outs. Obliviously the guys at Fiat understand American muscle. This is a good thing. Scott

Looks very nice. Scott

I'd say the Revell snap kits look better than the old AMT kit. But, despite that I just bought another AMT '63 this last Thursday. They depict two different types of Corvettes equipment wise. The old AMT kit kit has an engine, where the Revell is a curb side. AMT's Corvette has fuel injection badging, cast aluminum wheels, and a four-speed transmission. Revell's depicts a car with no fuel injection, standard wheel covers, Powerglide and rare for '63 factory air conditioning. Which do I like better? It's a toss up. I like the idea of a car with air. But, I really like early Vettes with fuel injection. And since the fuel injected Sting Rays had solid lifters, you could not get factory air with them. By the way, I own several of each. Scott
