  1. Yes, you can build a decent stock 1973 Mustang. Just buy the decals from Keith.
  2. Do you have friends in the USA that can re-ship to you?
  3. 1972 is my favorite Chevelle . I remember them new in the showroom
  4. Nice work!
  5. The 1968 AMT Elcamino is either to big or the 1970-1972 chevelle is too small. They are different in width.
  6. Good point Casey. I used the Matchbox ERTL 1972 Chevelle with the better grille. The later versions are a little screwed up.
  7. I just did a comparison of the amt versus mpc 1971-73 Mustang. The bodies about the same . Even with exhaust, they are Cherry Bomb type mufflers; should be flat like ERTL did on the 69 Eliminator Cougar. Otherwise, it is a good starting point.
  8. I fit the amt 1972 front end on the 1968 Elcamino kit body
  9. Snake I painted it blue like the show. Actually I built the 60,62 and 63 RT66 cars in addition
  10. What about the tooling made in Detroit shipped to China? Is that theirs too now?
  11. Don't forget the studs in the snowtires
  12. I thought the police used Customs or Custom 500s? Wonder why AMT chose the Galaxie?
  13. Possession may be 9/10 of the law, but I figured the customer who paid for the work owned it?
  14. I got one from Model Roundup for less. Has good decals , correct dash, chassis and exhaust manifolds.
  15. Sometimes it is fun to cut stuff up and see what happens.
  16. I made a 61 corvette the same way. 1960 Revell front and an AMT rear. The Revell is better but it's a 1962
  17. I have the Countdown and it has fewer parts
  18. I buy all my kits at ACME!
  19. I don't blame you. Major surgery is pain
  20. Tim, great picture of the 1973 Roadrunner. Back in 1978 I tried to chase a 318 Roadrunner on I95 Bangor to Orono, ME with my 302 Torino. No dice. 99mph was all it would do. The Roadrunner got away.
  21. I was going to mate a revell 1956 cab to an AMT 1953 chassis. but no more, I will buy a Foose
