I can't say enough about this kit...so I won't. Great box art, great premise of a customized Vette and a great nostalgia for a more simpler time in our lives......whew! better stop before all of you get rhe wrong idea. This was a tough kit, a tougher assembly (engine & headers installation, warped chassis and loads of hot water and a final assembly) and the toughest of it all...having a choice of building another or procuring tickets thru Ticket Master for a Taylor Swift concert. Hmmm....it could go either way. Patience and time is what you will invest in with this kit as with any kit. I'm surprised with my results. Everything is OOB and used ModelMaster #2954 Dark Yellow. Enjoy...

Had to take a second look....yep! Better than the first!

GORGEOUS! Museum display!! Blown away with the dash and the overall look...

Just the slogan on the hood tells the other competitors what's in store once the green flag drops.....

Looks like it would be right at home at your local Thunder Valley speedway!

This just goes to show that with to much time on your hands that something good and bad is gonna happen....and you're going to post it! Good because it's a Homer that left the ball park without a cover.... Bad because the secret ? "somewhere " at your workbench is blocking my view...clean your workbench! Lol! Always, always look forward to what you are posting next...Chuck! P.S Clean your workbench....

That pair of Vice Grips might have been the first car theft prevention device Invention, only second to removing the ignition key...lol! Great build, Love it!

The 1st photo I actually thought it was a real car on a pier. This is one humdinger of a build and backdrop use!

Qoute from happy grumpy from his Atlantis cadillac 57 post "I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this". Well I had the same sentiment too, but what a beautiful body and lines. A friend built one earlier this summer like the box art and it was gorgeous. He used small round rod for upper door/fender trim. I did the same but scrape/ sanded one side of the plastic rod so it would lay down easier when attaching to the body before painting. My thoughts on the kit....a great subject matter, not everything has to to SS, GT, R/T, etc, etc. And lately plain Janes' are more eye catching. I think I know where Muffy (Biff & Muffy of the High Society fame) was concieved at...... Rough edges, flash here and there, Multi piece body that one side fit perfect, the other side not so perfect. It has a small parts count which is good for a quick build...unfortunately the word "quick" won't be found in the instructions or your comments when partaking the plastic pleasures of this kit. I'll go as far as saying that the only thing that fit with no issue was the box top of this kit. But with a little time and patience, a nice Curb side will emerge. And like Forrest Gump said "That's all I got to say bout that".....until I feel like making some more comments. But I'm good for now....

Well that's a treat! Any other "tantalizing tidbits" in the box?

This is "Bad Luck"......when you are attempting to put back into the model case and it slips out for its own test drive ... Fortunately it did hit the carpet and everything can be fix with very minimal repair. I think my heart just started back.

Went so far back in my stash when I found this one I thought I met my younger self who just bought it...lol! I LOVE Dodge and Chrysler products but those early 70's Pontiacs will make you pull a muscle in your neck when turning to look at one ride by....... This is "Good Luck"....

Traded for this kit and a 70 Johan Cutlass last summer and finally got around to finishing up a few weeks ago. While Googling 70 Pontiac GTO, I came across a 70 GTO in Mint Turquoise poly with a red Interior from the factory. Intriguing as it was, I didn't think I could roll with the red Interior as a permanent fixture but who knows....taste does change over time. At the moment, I'm debating whether to leave the spoiler off or order a "factory" replacement. It's still fast either way ..

One extra body in the parts box, one Super Stocker chassis assembly and a urge to do something different.....

Picked up the NextGen Camaro in the RollOut Livery when first issued. Blown away by kit would be a Understatement! I figured there would be a flooded of aftermarket decals that would follow, so I went ahead and built the chassis but left the body untouched until I found a paint scheme to my liking....and I really like this one. The 2022 #99 Coca Cola Darlington 500 of Daniel Suarez.

Hey!, for what it's worth....It looks like a standard base Sebring option. It's a refreshing look from the Roadrunner package we see most of the time. I like it!

The more I look at it , the more I like it. I betcha you spent more time BMF than it did to paint and assemble. It did for me when I built one. Great job!

AWESOME BUILD!

MPC Super Stocker that was reissued a few years back. A great slump buster, other than that, an enjoyable OOB build, I came across an Bobby Allison grill/bumper assembly from a old parts box. Since both ends of the bumper were either cracked or broken off, the grill seemed salvageable.....so why not. Definitely changed the front end look. BONUS..BONUS..BONUS..... Thought I would add some extras....Some other Competitors from the pits..

Meanwhile a backfire

Told my wife to hand the built one's out to those who attended the service in memory of me, that a small part of me will be with them till we meet again....

Later that night

A time capsule of elegance and a great build!
