Can-Con

Very nice ! I could see Old Blue Eyes and the rest of the Rat Pack cruising the Vegas strip after dark in that car.

very very nice !!

Hey Jon, my dad had one same color but bone stock. He had it for years and even did one trip from Pacific to Atlantic and back with it. Unfortunately, the Revell kits have a chopped top.

I always thought those seats looked great in those Camaros. They came in a few colors too. And if you're really into those cars you can buy that fabric by the yard and do something like this.

No good Ron. Wants us to sign in or join up. I take it you're looking for a new pic host.

Sorry Howard, never heard of the guy, had to google the name. But I'm serious about the stubbies. A couple guys in the local club are beer aficionados. They were disusing it at our club barbecue last month.

Hey, I heard a couple weeks ago that stubbies were coming back ,,, Beauty, eh?

First off, the AMT and MPC are two completely different kits sharing no parts. That said, If it's closest to the original MPC annual, it's the SSlasher. Yea, saying the grille near as good as the original in the last issue of the AMT kit is doing it a kindness ,,, it looks absolutely nothing line any Chevelle grille. Not even the same style. What it looks like is the grille from a '72 Monte Carlo.

Beautiful model of a beautiful cat.

Look'n good Eric !

One of my favourite kits. I've built a couple and have a couple more unbuilt. Watch out for that engine bay, there's no mounting points for anything. Quite tricky to get together right.

The bumpers won't fit, too much of a width difference. The rest should work with a bit of ,,well ,,work.

That's real cool. I like the grille inserts.

Well,, Here's the Revell chassis shoved up under an MPC Firebird. Took a bit of trimming because it was was designed as a die-cast so it's wider at the rocker panels, that shouldn't effect the decals though as the wheelbase matches . I'd say they'll fit.

A quick image search on Google shows Aoshima does 7 or 8 versions of the Cappuccino besides the Initial-D kit. One even includes a small photo etch sheet.

It was a Trans Am. Looks like R/M dosen't have the licencing rights from the SCCA to use the name this season.

Looks good Steve. I did a little work on mine yesterday too. There was too much sanding damage done to the scripts on mine so I sanded them all off along with the door handles. The wheel opening trim was damaged too so I ground it off and will replace it and the rocker trim before painting. The character line down the sides was also somewhat smoothed out so I'm repairing that also.

That looks sharp. very clean.

Spoilers Seeetie! Some of us record the show and don't get a chance to watch until a day or three later.

Looking good Curtis. Did you deepen the door lines? they look about perfect.

Tom, that '67/'68 fastback roof was only available those two years, not after that. You must be thinking of the roof on the Pontiac hardtop kit like the resin one you posted. ,,BTW, I see Time Machine is selling that body on e-bay. Rick, nice conversion. I can imagine it's what Pontiac would have done if they had kept the Grand Prix on the full size body.

Beautiful! and thanks for posting the pic of the body mods you did. Makes it easier for the rest of us to see what needs attention .

Well Bill, you'd certainly see more of her on GOT than you did on Terminator. LOL

That's just cool !!

Yup, the AMT and Revell were different generation trucks. The Revell was an earlier truck but the kit was custom only, no where near stock. The AMT was the later generation of the truck. The first couple issues could be built stock. There was a "Monroe Handler" custom version version with the stock box and the "Bush Baby" stepside version that looked like a 4X4 but I think it was just a lifted 2 wheel drive. The AMT kits were quite nice for the '70s when they first came out. The Revell was just another one of those Revell custom thingies they pumped out by the zillion back then. [looked cool though]
