Can-Con

I don't know if you're aware of this or not but ,,, The AMT '39 Chevy "Wagonrod" has a full Art Morrison frame and suspension under it. The first issue even had a tiny "Art Morrison" decal. The AMT "Phantom Vicky" also has excellent independent suspension under both ends on a modern aftermarket style '32 frame.

Here's a few shots of my '34. Fittingly, it was rebuilt from an old stock build. It was done about 15 years ago and still one of my favorits.

Beautiful !!

I use it all the time when tinting my windows and almost every car or pickup I've built over the last couple decades has tinted windows. Yes, you have to thin it for airbrushing as you would any other of their bottle paints. I just use cheap rubbing alcohol for mine but the proper thinner might give even better results.

Super cool ,, love it !!!

Like I said, Revell did not use the stock GM design for their pickups. It's an aftermarket design based on the "California Step-side" aftermarket beds sold in the '70s. They used them on all their Chevy pickups as well as their Chevy LUV , Ford Courier and Datsun pickups. They had two bed sizes but all used the same fenders. The "Fun Truckln" Courier was a real truck given away by Revell in '78 so I guess since they already had a "sort of" Chevy truck bed they just used it on all their other step-side pickup kits.

Don't believe everything you see on a "reality show". ?

It's exactly as impressive in person as in the pics Roger.

I've seen the Goblin in person a couple times. I really don't think it's drivable, or at least not for any longer than to get it on and off a trailer. Cars are meant to be driven , if not, it's just a piece of sculpture. [to be kind]

Excellent restoration. Looks super !!

Gareth, does the can of Ford Champagne Gold have as much pink in it as it looks in the pic? If so, it's actually pretty close to GM Evening Orchid. And, on the grille subject. If you check the pics you posted, you'll see the actual grilles are black with the wide surrounds painted silver. I made the same mistake when I built the kit. But to my defense, I built mine over 30 years ago. Man, where do the years go ?? LOL ?

Sweet !! ???

Nice work. And welcome, we can always use another Steve. ?

Simply beautiful. Great attention to details make this a real standout. ???

Not the same Meteors, The American ones were a mid-size Mercury only built in '62 and '63,IIRC. The Canadian ones were full size cars. BUT the Canadian ones were not built in '62 and '63 while the name was being used on the American cars.

I hadn't really thought about what style it would be besides a commercial flavored hotrod but ,yea, I guess "resto rod" would fit it best.

I don't think you'll get an answer, the poster hasn't been here in almost 3 years.

The JoHan Toro chassis, engine and all underhood parts were the same through the whole run. The '70 is the easiest to find but any from '66 through '72 be exactly the same. [JoHan did the annual Toro every year from '66 to '72.] ALSO, the JoHan Cadillac Eldorado kits used those same parts with the only difference is they put "CADILLAC" script on the valve covers of the Olds engine. So, if you happen to run across one, those parts will be the same too.

IIRC, the "X-Tasy" van has the same custom parts and I remember someone printed copys of the decals. Or for an even cheaper way to go, the "Dirty Donnie" van is easy to find and has some of the custom parts. Missing the chrome bow-tie grille and headlights and spoked wheels. The wheels are the same as the ones in the '63 Vette and '66 Mercury. That would get a guy pretty close.

There's one on e-bay right now ,, with a "buy it now" price of only $349.99. ?

The wheels and tires don't look like the ones from the kit. They "might" be Modelhaus. ??

Steve, as you know, I did not participate in that particular thread and nor would I belittle anyone elses build decisions. Although, truth be told, I did try to find a pic of a mobility scooter with donk wheels on it to post as a joke, I came up empty. ?

True. His cars do get those kind of prices.

Keep that in mind then when I start insulting your builds then.
