UK ebay seller has 4 door Belvedere kit. Is this true? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moebius-Model-kit-1-25-1965-Plymouth-Belvedere-/291662887001?hash=item43e8767859:g:g~4AAOSw-zxWnRkD

Nice that you started this project. Front suspension looks great.

Thank you guys. This one was fun to build.

This was a total surprise to me

Here is other engine to compare their sizes and it is is from Jo-Han SC/Rambler kit but I think both are 1/25 scale. Gibson drag race engines needs huge engine compartment like chevelle or charger have.

I decided to continue my old project I started five years ago. It is combination of AMT '75 Matador and Revell '55 chevy pro sportsman and Ross Gibson Roadhammer Hemi. Frame and interior needs some fitting... ...but it is can be done. Engine parts Paint scheme is Matador BWR Early test fitting before repainting. Next front suspension and steering.

Cool truck. I really like the color. How did you paint it?

This tribute trar is ready for service. A real world car can be found here: http://bangshift.com/general-news/roadside-find-a-1962-rambler-snow-plow-trar/

Small uppdate but I think we're finally on the home stretch with this project. Rest parts are waiting their turn.

Light bar is ready and it had to test to fit at this time although it it is last part to install.

I painted body with Future/X-21 -mixture and then sanded it lightly with 1200 sandpaper and polished it with tissue to get proper matte finish. Tamiya weathering master B and C will give rust and dirt to body.

Body is painted again and now with more correct color. Lisence plate is ready Next foiling with bare-metal matte aluminium foil.

Plow is ready now. I noticed body color is too yellow so I have to paint it again.

This is simple way to get bigger tires straight and same track front and back.Best glue for this job is 5 minutes epoxy. I think front wheels looks better when you can see disk brakes through them.

Front wheels and big modifying tool. Stock rear wheels below. Originally front wheels were strange combination disk brakes and drums

Interior has been painted and I tried to make it a bit worn. Wheel base had to shorten 1 cm and rear drive shaft too. Front wheels are modified bacause front trac is too wide. Snow plow is also under construction

Ford 4x4 chassis is in progress but It still needs some trimmig to rambler body. Engine is '97-98 5.4 l Ford V8 as it comes with the kit. Rambler original 232 straight six would be another option but it would be more difficult to install to the Ford chassis. Underside Rambler chassis fits quite well on the Ford frame.

I have had a poor Classic taxi promo for years but not interested in restoring it. One day I found this site http://bangshift.com/general-news/roadside-find-a-1962-rambler-snow-plow-trar/ and saw the light. Winter is coming and I need a reliable snow plow, and right brand of course. First I bought Lindberg Ford F-150 4x4 kit because of its four wheel chassis. In ebay I found resin roof lights and horn. I needed snow plow too and it cme from Revell GMC pickup. By now body, chassis and wheels are painted but it need some rust and dirt.

Still waiting your AMC AMX/3 and AMC 390 V8. Any updates? I need several engines.

This is my old model based on AMT '66 Nova Pro Street and Flinstone resin sedan delivery body. Not exact fitting but not too hard to put together.

Nice scrambler. Better can't be built out of the box, It is shame Jo-Han used in this kit '66 Rogue 2DHT body with convertible interior, slightly updated old 327 V8, torque tube tranny and wrong rear end.

Here is Lindberg 426 max wedge with modelhaus Tri-Y headers.

This is a really cool AMC!

Ok, Hudson is ready. Actually this model is '53 but I can't change it. Some photos:
