  1. Too bad Norm stopped putting these out. I would be buying a few along with a few other stuff
  2. I am glad you brought this up I have never considered the center crossmember until now. Something for my future builds Thanks
  3. Sounds like a good plan, I was thinking about looking at some styrene channel to use
  4. Yeah , you mentioned the rear suspension so I posted this as for the center crossmember other than sacrificing another kit maybe scratch building will be the only way to go
  5. I like to do old school Hot Rods and not a real fan of the rear suspension in the Revell Deuce kits. Tried doing some chop and glue mods from scratch. I found these at Shapways and have a couple coming in the mail. This might just be the answer for me.
  6. I like to have the Grille shell positioned so if you had a hood it wood be level from front to back
  7. Replicas and Miniatures has a 2" chopped 32 Grille Shell with photoetched Grille ,it may also come with the radiator
  8. As the OP of this post , it has had remarks a bit of topic for the original question, But I don't mind , I like the adversity of the comments. In addition to my opening post I would like to add that I think the use of the Mustang moniker was slam on the history of the Mustang and should have had a more suitable name such as maybe "Ampster" , it still has a animal vibe or a more stylish body design such as the regular edition of the 2023 Mustang. It is akin to calling the Chevy Bolt a Corvette As far as cleaning up the thread I think it should have been my call to do it if I found it necessary.
  9. If it was Pinto the battery would need to be in the back
  10. Thinking about building a stock 67 Merc Comet Capri , is there any stock hoods available ?
  11. If a kit came out out for the Mustang Mach E will there be much of a market for it? In my opinion it looks just like almost every other car out there in that class, Makes about as much sense as a 4DR Charger.
  12. All depends on what kind of build you are , Resto-Mod go something newer as suggested above
  13. AMT 56 top , Revell 57 bottom . wheelbase looks very close to the same. Revell 57 Gasser wagon basically the same
  14. I originally planned on doing this as suggested by another member. I have not started that build yet. I haven't located the frame yet to show it here but from what I remember it was fairly close to the 56. If I can located I will post a pic.
  15. Possibly Revells 57 Ford . Revell 57 Fireball Roberts at the top. AMT 56 Victoria at the bottom
  16. Following this> I normally use lacquer thinner but deep clean tear downs are often.
  17. Well thats 4 minutes of my life I will never get back (skipped thru it see if it got better (it didn't))
  18. Lets not forget the 64/66 Barracudas (a Valiant with a sports roof). If you split the window down the center it would look similar to the Corvette 63 Split window. which may just be were they got their design ques from. In 67 they changed up the roof style along with everything else. They tried it on the first Chargers with mixed results. And AMC tried it on the Marlin , that is all I will say about the Marlin.
  19. When I see the last two the name Kaiser comes to mind. With that in mind why is the Henry J seem to be the only Kaiser in kit form ? Would like to see a Darrin .
  20. must have been listening to Bob Dylan "Blower in the wind"
  21. Just not looking for the right thing, I was searching for a Parts Pak and not for a Engine Pack, thanks
  22. I know they are not the same but either there isn't any AMT Parts Paks for a 421 Poncho or there scarcer than hens teeth
  23. The one I have only has tri-power or a blower
