As a Big Petty fan and a owner of a 1:1 66 Barracuda I have thought about doing this build. After researching the car I found out that on it's last run it veered off the track and killed a 8yr old boy and injured 8 spectators. Richard Petty was very distraught and gave up drag racing for that and because NASCAR had gave in. This accident was a dark moment in Richards life and I read somewhere that he did not like to even talk about it. So out of personal respect I will not be doing this build. I know others feel differently about and I am not trying to discourage them in building it. This is just my personal choice.

no barcode and price on the end do believe it is a original Thanks for the help Jon

I was thinking that the reissue was also in a smaller box than the standard models. It has the $1.49 printed directly on the box and the box has the printed artwork paper attached to the box

no dates on box,instructions or decal sheet. only the Troy Mi address on the back of the decal sheet The decals look old and are curled and the instructions look bit yellowed on the outside. My wife found it at Goodwill store some years back but I am not sure if it was before the reissue was released (2008?)

I have what I believe is a original AMT no 232 32 Ford V-8 kit box with some of the left over parts inside. I know there was a reissue of this kit. At a model show and swap meet one of the fellows told me that a few people had tried to sell the reissue as being an original kit . Is there anyway to tell for sure one way or another?

I wouldn't cal my 66 Barracuda "vintage" , "classic yes but not vintage Maybe I missed it but did not see one for Pony Car http://vonskip.com/hotroddictionary.html http://www.rodauthority.com/news/hot-rod-lingo-getting-a-grip-on-the-rodding-lifestyle/ a couple more

Nice , I definitely like it better than the new 1:1 Camaros

looking good

when I was painting motorcycle tanks,after I laid down the tape or stencil I would put down a light coat of the base paint or clear then spray the top color.this would help prevent bleed thru on the tape edges.I haven't tried this on a model yet but thought I would mention it

Round 2 shows that kit to be released in May thought about it for a future Hearse project but want the option of buying it my choice no "Model of the month" club for me

At least I was close with a 31 Studebaker President Still fun looking

I think it's smiling at me

Jimmy Flintstone has a couple resin bodies of a 59 Hearse . One even calls for the Ecto as a donor

yes

Definitely to big for AMT's 1/25th kits

the Flintstone box says 1/25th scale so that makes it somewhat confusing

Yes I did transpose numbers. I checked the box and it is a 1/25th scale so any Revell 34 ford in 1/25th should work. Thanks Jon update: the 7647 kit they say to use is a 1/24 scale but the box says it is a 1/25th I just checked the body with two of my AMT 34 Fords in 1/25th and it is definitely too big so it must be a 1/24 and the 1/25th on the box is in error

I am new to resin bodies and the one I have (Flintstone 34 ford phantom delivery) calls for a Revell 34 Ford #7467 kit as a donor. Is there a list some where that will tell me what models were reissued under a different number ? There seems to be a few different Revell 34 Ford Kits released over the years but I am not sure if there is any others besides #7467 that will work for me. Some kind of data base that would list which model numbers had the same basic parts would be helpful The reason I ask is that #7467 seems to be a bit rare and it's price is a bit high. Thanks Jon

Yeah some how I got into the "sedan delivery" stage in my life. Trying to build as many Ford (Merc) SD's as I can find. The last time it was Bucket T's

Thanks again , checked out the stores in OC today. Coyote impressed me with the model choices and prices and the friendly proprietor. The Farm store not so much. Lots of choice's but prices on the high side for me. Parking in OC is an experience.

I had stopped building (the last time) back around 1994 But I did not stop buying. I ended up with from 150 to 200 models stashed in the attic. I brought most of them down and started selling the off but I still have about 50 or so left.I find myself with stuff like a 90,91 and 92 Thunderbird Super Coupes I owned a 1:1 91 at the time but 3 off them. A Plum Crazy 57 Chev Funny car ,I am NOT a Chevy fan, a Aluma Coupe??? a Testers Pre Painted Metal Bucket T??? a 92 Mustang a 94 Mustang a 95 Mustang a Mustang Mach III concept and a 59 Ford Galaxie Convert with the 3 piece body what was I thinking At this time I am thinking "future parts donors" one of the last swap meets I went to I planned on selling off some more but only ended up buying 4 kits ,2 of them I had never even thought about building and my Wife calls me "Impulsive"

neat stuff thanks for posting

As I remember in the past I have only worked on one at a time but now I find myself resurrecting My Tweedy Pie project, starting a 26 Ford Sedan delivery a 31 Ford Sedan delivery, a 41 Ford phantom sedan delivery researching and part collecting for the Kookie T. and yesterday I started thinking about a doing the Ala Kart as a sedan delivery. It looks like I will busy during my retirement.

I have been wanting to give Mylar reflective sheets a try
