    really neat. messes with my head every time I look at it, but nice work! love that front bumper treatment, too.

    honestly I am not much of a fan of Corvettes after 1972, and the pics I'd seen didn't do much for me. Overall I like the design, but I think the rearend needs work. Not sure they should have called it a Corvette, but hey, what do I know?

    went back today to see if they'd put the red tags on more kits. finally had the Polyglas Gasser, but I passed on it. Instead I bought an iwata compressor for about 1/2 price

    I don't know what it is about this kit but I've always liked it. I built that ugly yellow one, with a JoHan Eldorado powertrain where the back seat used to be, and a later issue like a '70s high schooler's ride. Definitely going to need the surf wagon issue.

    grabbed the Gear Hustler El Camino and the 3 n 1 boat. there were a couple others I wanted but they weren't clearance tagged (the Datsun Pickup and the Scout) at my store.

    Nice build! I haven't started but I'm going to build a similar mode,. My first car was also an ,84 brougham, with a navy interior and vinyl top, but mine was painted an off-white/cream. Hiwd yiu tackle the vinyl top? It looks great.

    very nice!

    very nice. The "sugar scoop" rear window treatment is one of my favorite elements of the shark-era Corvette.

    lol fair enough. I didn't read that closely. although the mid '90s and later reissues have some differences from the 1979 kit. I'll revise my answer to the Jo-Han pro stock Ford Maverick.

    I know it's not the best kit if this car but I've built it probably a dozen times over the years and I have a couple in the stash right now - the MPC Dukes Charger.

    this is an old one I did. AMT issue of the DOH kit, with MRC cragars and mickey Thompson tires.

    eh. i'm sure it's going to be a fantastic performance car, but it just doesn't seem like a corvette anymore.

    Postman dropped this off today. Kind of a holy grail kit for me. Jo-Han Pro Stock Maverick still in the cello.
  15. JJ Deuce
    one of my favorite pickups, great work! love the details. I assume that's a bottle of root beer in the console?
  16. JJ Deuce
    Another DOH charger kit, this time the AMT reissue

    this is true. I scored a Fujimi garage tools kit along with the mechanics figures kit for $15 because the main photo was just the mechanics kit. Had to look closely and double check as it seemed to good to be true.
  18. JJ Deuce
    Fortunately I was outbid. Going to keep looking for a decent builder of this kit though
  19. JJ Deuce
    It's the JoHan Pro Stock Maverick. I'm sure I can fit some other 427 SOHC in it. we'll see if I win it. It may not be an issue after all lol

    I made a bid on the auction site yesterday for a fairly scarce kit, at a price that's probably too high, but I could still stomach it for a builder. Today I checked to see if I was still high bidder, and noticed there's no engine parts pictured. Seller's response to my inquiry was pretty vague but confirmed my thoughts that it's missing the engine. Not that big a deal, but i'm kicking myself for not paying better attention. Lesson learned.

    always loved those early Monte Carlos. Such a good looking car.
  22. JJ Deuce
    looking good! I built a DOH Charger kit in a similar fashion several years ago. Sublime, black and white interior, and cragars. Sold it on the auction site to make some shelf space.
  23. JJ Deuce
    got a little more done on this one. I think I'm going to leave the rearend at the lower ride height. with the stock tires and wheels, it looks odd with a rake to me. I need to clean up a few spots and give it another coat of paint, then polish and foil/molotow the trim. Calling the interior finished. I didn't bother to paint the gauges since they're small and it's really just a shelf model that reminds me of my childhood. The model my dad built was all bare white plastic except for the body.

    really nice work!
  25. JJ Deuce
    those rear tires from the Batmobile?
