Beautiful work! Gotta love those 70s era car chase cars!

I've not had the time to do any model building. Still working 60+ hours a week... But somehow I still manage to do model buying. I need to work on that.

It must just be me, but I've always had good luck w/ people on Craigslist, and Ebay. Just have to have common sense, and know that not everybody on the internet is your friend or neighbor. If something looks off or fishy... that's because it is. I probably buy more kits off ebay if the price is right, than I do at shows. I've also made some friends on ebay too... couple of sellers know me pretty well and will give me deals.

I actually have one in the process. And a Mustang Grande.

Scrolling thru the listings is half the fun. Especially when I'm on break at work w/ my smartphone.

Picked up some along the way... got this off ebay But ultimately ended up getting a better one and getting rid of this one. Also this for 10 bucks at a show I was at 2dr Monaco that I picked up at a show I'll have to snap some pics of the others I have. Eventually

This is going to be great! Can't wait to see the finished product! I have a Nascar chassis'd project in my future as well... one day.

What about the Sneaky Pete, Midnight Cowboy, and other variants that had the flip nose pete front end, and had the tow bed or step side bed? Aren't they loosely related to these original trucks?

Wow.

I can't think of anything to say besides.... WOW!!!!!

Yes. I've bought many things from B-N-L. I've probably bought a dozen 9" ford axles, half dozen GM 350/400 turbo trannys, a dozen or so glasspack mufflers, and all sorts of other stuff. Probably the quickest resin shipper out there. There's usually a little flashing from the resin pour, and just basic casting cleanup from the part it was molded from. I really like B-N-L

Beautiful!

He was supposedly at the Columbus, IN show saturday... however I was in Zanesville, OH at the Y-city show. Last year he was at NNL in Toledo, and at the C.A.R.B's show in Dayton. So we'll see this year if he comes. I'll be at both so I plan to pick up another AMX and some photo etch if there's any left.

Picked this up at a show in Zanesville, Ohio on Saturday. For a scant $10. It's missing the cool pointy hubcaps, zoomies, and a few other things which was what I was hoping it had, and some other pieces, but its mostly there.

That looks great! where did you get the bumper? I've been working on making my own... unsuccessfully. I really need to start working on my Bronco again.

Stunning!

That might be a nice addition for when cutting/trimming BMF...

Okey lives around here, so I always see him at local shows. Plus I know guys that see him weekly. I'll have to see if I can dip in on what he's got before he sells out

Yeah he comes to a lot of local shows. Sounds like he's got more stuff coming out again which is cool. Wouldn't mind having another '69 AMX to go with my other 2

I heard I have a build in there... I'll have to try and pick it up when I see it on the stands

Those wheels are the "artillery wheels" from the Australian company called "The Parts Box" http://www.thepartsbox.com/store/index.php?page=details&prod=740&cat=32&group=14

You should sell me the Torino lol

Wow. dude smiles at the end like it's no big deal haha

I have about 6 of those in the closet. And a few of the cabriolet versions too. Started to chop one, and turn it into this. Haven't decided on engine or anything. Bought a resin body from Altered States of the Cabriolet kit, with a tonneau cover for like a salt flat look. Sitting on Revell 32 rails, 40 ford wheels/tires, Duvall windshield

I can contact some of the guys that run these shops (I'm friends with them on facebook) and see if they have any cars with those wheels on them in their shop, and try to stop in and take measurements at some point. Do you require measurements in MM or Inches?
