Steve Kohler has two nice items in: a '69 GTO Convertible and a '70 Chrysler 300

Cool! Would've been smoother on a paved asphalt street.

If you asked this question fifty years ago, I would have told you they'd end up as test beds for pyrotechnical research, using cherry bombs or multiple bottle rockets taped to the sides.

Very clean, precise and detailed work, Dann.

Congrats to you and Mrs. Holt, Johnny.

Necessity is the mother of invention. This is one resourceful guy.

Moyor City Resin Casters makes a complete '66 'Cuda kit. Reliable Resin makes a '65 body. Unfortunately, Reliable Resin doesn't live up to its name.

Ron Andrews, owner of RMR Resin, acquired all of the R&R Resin masters last year. From what I read on FB, he plans to recast most of the line. Maybe the '65 Barracuda Hardtop will be part of that.

Military Wheels is, in fact, a Ukrainian kit manufacturer which is owned by the same company as is AModel. What a difference in quality. AModel produces finely detailed aircraft kits. The MW Beetles are complete dogs, even worse than the UAZ-469.

Could be a product tie-in with their 1/46 F-15 kit.

Cops always remove belts, ties and shoelaces when you're taken to central booking.

Major fashion faux pas, maaaaaaan. You don't wear Nehru jackets and platform shoes together. You're mixing eras. Get that polyester leisure suit out. Blow dried hair and molester mustache optional.

Why're you getting your shorts bunched up for? The OP asked about a Y-Block engine, nothing else. No need to get cranky.

Excellent, Cale. Google the VIN and you should get some info.

Check your in box immediately. I did what you asked and you need to act on the information ASAP. I don't want to hear that it wasn't available because you waited too long.

Good for all flavors of '55 Fords, including T-Birds.

Yeah, I know the PE came with the AM kit and Revell re-box. I was only suggesting that you take a gander at the MCG set because it has stuff like floor/chassis brackets and other OCD-worthy details. Here are the instructions for Revell 85-4992. They are similar to the AM sheet.

I'm assuming you have kit No. 5000, Corvette Factory Racer. PE assembly and placement is shown in the instruction sheet. If I saw this thread early into the construction, I would've recommended Model Car Garage's MCG-2086 Corvette Grand Sport Multimedia Detail Set. This set contains everything, including a resin oil cooler.

Man, what the heck was he thinking?!? Where did you see it? Carroll Gardens?

I build factory stock; so, I don't worry about adding extraneous stuff.

Great stuff! Can be used as a filler, among other things. Read this for a more detailed explanation.

Might be the same ebay seller I bought some from.

Excellent reference pics on the restoration of Corvette Grand Sport #004 here. I'm fortunate to have both. I plan on building all of the various versions. I have nine of these AM kits and am always on the prowl for another.

You can get the kit here for $22.95 plus shipping.

I was thinking the same thing.
