I'm sorry to change the subject but can you guys tell/show me what kind of saw you use to make those nice straght cuts ? I think I want to try this conversion myself after seeing this. Nice work by the way.

Right out of the 80's. Cool.

I love that car. I had a 63 Chevy II in 82 when that car came out. Man, the dreams of a teenager. I ended up selling to my brothers friend who did turn it into a prostreet car. He painted it pizz yellow. I was so bummed. Anyway I'll be watching this thread. Lay it out Ron.

Whatever you choose to do on your 66 just make sure you put the master cylinder "up" on the firewall where it belongs and not where AMT specify's. On 1970 W-30's. You could not get power brakes with a 4 speed due to the 328 degree cam used. It recieved manual disc brakes as standard equipment. You could get power brakes with an auto as previously stated. And no power brakes available on any 68-70 Ram Rod or W-31. I wish I could help you on the 66 but I don't know as much about them. Sorry.

What happened to the pic of the Firebird from Corvette Summer (now there's a Vette to build) ? Good movie. The hood is custom and not factory. What is that, NCIS ? I'll have to start watching that show.

Nice work.

I met Britney Danails. She is real nice and alot hotter in person.

Very nice.

Very nice.

Nice work. BTW. Whats the story with the Rallye 350 in your avatar ?

Nice.

Nice work.

That is mega cool.

Just in case anyone cares, there will be a Joe Dirt 2 movie.

Looking good.

A little update today on facebook from the guy who's car Revell used for the measurements. Angelo Valenti 3:32pm Jan 31 I will be going to Revell Models on Wednesday to see the Test shots of my FE3-X that they are making a model out of , along with test shots of my 83 Hurst Olds for a Model too they will be making . I will post pics then. The models are suppose to be out this winter . Stay tuned .......

It sure would be nice to have a van or rampside.

>> In that era, manufacturers had the belief that the market would only support one model of any given 1/1 car. << I find this part just a litle hard to beleve when you consider all the 55 and 57 Chevies, just to name a couple, that were done by the big 3. On a side note I do appreciate when some of these old threads are brought back to the top.

Not sure if anyone cars but Ron Andrews of RMRModels is doing a 75 Vista Cruiser. You can find it on facebook. I bought one. Not perfect but a good start.

Nice conversion work.

WOW! Nice work.

Nicely done.

Revell needs to make a 442 grill then combine this kit with the Cutlass Supreme kit to make a 3 in 1. I'm sure they will rerelease this kit or perhaps both of them, someday.

Thats beautiful. Now whats that hiding in the upper right hand corner of that first and third pic ? Have you seen these ? http://users.boardnation.com/~abodysite/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=10232;start=0;boardseen=1 http://users.boardnation.com/~abodysite/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=10231

Nice save on the motor. I have a supervisor also. He likes to wait till I drop something on the floor then he goes after it. He has to inspect everything I do. He's my buddy.
