Came across in my stash the black plastic stake body option from the early 60's Chevy pick up kits. Anybody want to give a guess on the value of these parts. They re-released the trailers, motorcycle and go cart. What happened to the stake body? greg

Only way to find out is they used the 1/24th Monogram Ford pick up body and if the kit interior fits we'll convict. greg -
Got my order from C1models: Nice stuff, Death in Paradise soon to be alive. Not bad for order less than a month from England without special postage. greg

MPC 1978 Dodge D100
GLMFAA1 replied to Jim B's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks for the follow up: To the collectors that might be scammed by someone dumping this kit in an old box: 1. the ink stamping on the bottom of the bed, 2. the bumpers had the year stamped at the plate, 3. the valance piece between the bumper and grille has the turn signals, 4. half of the baja kit are included/missing in this kit (roll bar, big tires and rims, and 4wd option). greg -
MPC 1978 Dodge D100
GLMFAA1 replied to Jim B's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice job on the truck. My first true really owned new car was a 76 Ramcharger, I rear ended a Pinto in an accident (fortunately it didn't explode) so I was at fault and updated the front with a 78 grille assembly, Kept both grille and valance turn signals. I had amber bulbs in clear lenses. Now I'll start the controversy of having clear or amber lenses in the grille. Was just looking on the Ramchargers web page and it seems that no one knows how or why there were two different turn signals in the same year. There was even a picture of a Pierce mini pumper with split lenses. p.s. Take a little piece of square white stock and stick it on the fire wall as all good Chrysler products had the resister? greg -

Building a New York taxi from the Revell Caprice Snap Kit
GLMFAA1 replied to OldNYJim's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Nice work, I wonder if the Caprice had to be modified like the Fords had to be? The Ford crown Vic had the Lincoln chassis to make the leg and head room required by the taxi commission. To tell the commercial built Ford taxi as opposed to a conversion the factory ones had silver rear and front bumpers. greg -

Just a few last details, Blacken the inside of the hard suction, also take a small piece of sprue and glue a leftover small intake cover reversed and stick it in the lower ends of the lower hard suction to duplicate the small diameter hard suction. doesn't matter on other end as it would not be seen as it is extended out the front. reat job. greg -
