Snake did you fix or modify the roof to match old AMT kit?

If you email Steve, he always lets you know if he has it and how much. Sometimes the price is better on some kits he really wants to sell. A great guy all round

One nice thing about the AMT 32 Trophys is that the frame pines allowed you to swap for motors from the 36 ford, other 32 ford, and 40 fords( Buick, Pontiac, Olds, chevy, mopar,ford combos)

The past is usually not as good as we remember. I have another take. I would rather have a reissued styrene than a resin copy. Just easier to work with in my opinion.

It's not a bad kit but requires some work. Really a 1966 posing as a 1969 meaning tail lights must be modified.

Boy, everybody wants to atttack this Badman kit! Next topic; MPC Mild and Wild 1971 parts or how about Zingers?

Larry already did the GTO and Can Am , i believe. I got one of them from him in the past

Why odd?In their production they probably created spares. I was as surprised as you but there was 20+ pages of parts for sale!

what are you fixing, if I may ask?

I just checked the Modelhaus.com website. Tons of stuff for sale. No kidding

I liked AMT/MPC when ERTL owned it. Now the game is different. It is what it is.

I have a couple of those kits. You spent your money wisely.

Very wishful thinking . I would buy a dozen 58 Fords if that happened

Model King was a great proponent of bringing back lost kits,

I think AMT sold the craftsman tools for scrap in the 1970s. This would be a tax deduction and reduction of taxable assets when AMT was sinking big time.

Yes, always a great build by Randy. It's not a great kit by today's standards but in 1965, it was pretty good held together with screws. With a shorter body. you have a starting point for a Catalina or 2+2 convertible

I got my first 59 ElCamino kit in 1964 after the 1958 Impala kit, both blue plastic. Lost them in the 60s. Then I got the above Street Rods version in 1975, whit plastic but still a great kit. I painted 2 tone white/red. It's amazing that this kit was created in 1964 and still holds it's place among newer computerized generated kits.

I made a bench using the 58 Impala

From my perspective, they are medium sized boats compare to 1969/1970

Can somebody show me what is wrong with th ERTL roofs?

I still have my 64 Impala kit that I got in August 1964

71-73 Mustangs are sort of a forgotten car. Would be nice if an updated model arrived.

he makes the conveertible too.

Yes, scripts. I have old Palmer and Round 2 versions. Need to inspect closer. Very nice job on your boat and trailer. Most trailers had hard black rubber rollers that the keel traveled on. At least my father's Gator trailer had them.

PAul, where did the CENTURY and CORONADO markings come from. I didn't see it in my Round2 kit.
