It's for uphill driving, keeps the load leveled, it's either that or slide in cargo!

Sure is a beauty Steve!

Beautiful kit (have the '83 version, which is molded in black) the only downside is that they didn't yet have the low profile tires tooled up, first Monogram kit to have those was the '84 'Vette (glue kit, not the snapper) IIRC

Ah, yes...

Not sure but think they came from their 1/20 scale 'Vette's.

It's probably more about finding inserts and in what state they are and what state the main tooling is in, cuz it has been run and modified from '72 up to the the early 2000s IIRC. Then there's probably the matter of the side trim, which has been removed, at first on the cab in order to market the uteline's, and second on the bed to get more mileage out of the sweptline's, through the Thunderstruck and Monster truck releases. But is the side trim a necessity to bring the sweptline back? I remember a talk with a former Jr. Amt/Ertl engineer, that when they were looking into the re-release of the Li'l red truck in the '90s, they couldn't find the inserts for the side step plates, so they re-did them, once the kit was in production, they did find them, Doh! In a perfect well organised world, where tooling goes from shelf, over to configuration, test shot, check and production, Round-2 could produce something not ever done before, a faux '79 anual Dodge Power wagon truck. But I'm not holding my breath, so through the years I bought the kits needed to make the conversion myself

What about the VW Beetle? Revell Venice Revell Germany IMC Amt Gunze Hasegawa Tamiya Imai Airfix

My next door neighbor, held a parcel while I was away on vacation, on opening it contained a mpc Datsun P/U, Moebius '61 Cat and a Revell Cutlass FE3-X, on vacation I found a Simil'R Ford Focus WRC on sale at a small seaside toy store, 50% off

New tool (2000ish) P/U with vintage go kart?

All original parte restored?

That one was by MPC

Maybe it's à licensing thingy....

À couple of new players who (to my knowledge) did do it right: - Belkits - Beemax - Nunu again, it's all about geting the right people on board, als à newbie there's too much you don't know about that can and Will go wrong, Am I a "mister know it all", nope...not by far, but through the years I met people who do know. It's à real pitty their first release isn't à homerun, I for one sure hoped iT would have been... pick yourself up and try again....

Give me 250k, and together with Some friends I wil show you how it's done. a bold statement, you betcha!

You network and find the knowledgable people to make your project work. I'll give 'm this much, they did secure all the neccesary licensing, which isn't an easy task

One can make a first impression only ones, when you blow that, it's damage control and à uphill battle regaining cunsumer trust again, gone curiousity welkome sceptisisme... À sad entree to the main stage....... again maybe he/they should've read the 250K question

Turned 50, last tuesday, the months prior I was a bit down, like so soon, it seemed like yesterday that I,was 25, visiting the USA for the very fitst time....it felt like Play time was over, and have to take life a bit more seriously now, but when the big day came, the feelings went a way, it’s juist a Number, I’m still a kid at heart,

They should've read the 250k question 'Nuff said.

They all want one, but only with the 40% off coupon, or discounted. C’mon Casey........you should’ve known that

Have that one too, IMHO the most beautifull design Pontiac did.

MPC '66 Bonneville conv. will I build it, dunno...

Anyway you look at it, the second gen Charger is one heck of a beautiful vehicle, and your build does it justice.

while the years have flown by, I remember it, as it was yesterday...

It was 2010, and we probably did, cuz picked up a toy truck for my then 2 year old son, in '15, I was again in Chicago and we again went to one, remember we were checking out the camper kit from the Breaking bad series,..

Believe me, when I say, that I know how you must feel, cuz a year or so ago I passed the old GM Plant-2 here in Antwerp where I worked for over 20 years.....it shut down in the winter of 2010, in it's heyday 14.000 people worked there, the biggest annual output was 240.000 units.
