Can-Con

Probably wasn't mine.

Yea, couldn't miss that. Still have the original Eliminator cassette I bought in '83 and it still plays excellently. [as does my copies of Afterburner and Recycler, completing the trilogy] Muchmusic here in Canada though, not MTV.

Kinda hard to say without a pic.

I'm pretty sure no Pontiac engines were made in Canada. Canadian built Pontiacs all had Chevy engines, at least before '70.

Well I don't know what to say to you about yours Steve, but I'm pretty sure the engine in mine was black.

Here's a link to a Pontiac engine color chart I've used before. Seems pretty complete. http://www.pontiacpower.org/enginecolor.htm

I've started the same kitbash,, almost ,, mine's a '74 but about the same involved. Revell S&B chassis, etc. Missing Link hood and scoop. '74 MPC Firebird body. I also got a set of decals from Keith Marks. Only thing is the Revell kit was originally designed as a die-cast so the bottom is flared out a bit more than a plastic kit would be. That means a lot of grinding to get it to fit under the MPC body. I took a bit too much off the sides of mine but that can be easily fixed. The nose is tricky and I see I'll need to grind some off the back of the chassis plate too so the rear pan will fit better. I really gotta get back to this one.

Yup, been there, done that,, got the model. AMT Cobra built in 2011. Same kit in the same colous as the one I built back in '74. Probably to a bit higher level than when I was 9 though.

Someone's been selling a corrected nose for a couple years now. I don't remember the name but there's a thread about it on here somewhere.

I have an idea for the forum ,, how about a way to shut down zombie threads from over a decade ago with nothing of value like this one??

Very sweet !!

Looks like a Monogram Lambo Countach engine with the intakes and carbs missing

Not even close to the same tires. The ones he's looking for are copies of the ones MPC used in the late '60s and '70s. BUT there were two different ones Monty, the '60s style or the larger ones like came on the Impalas?

Cool, My cousin Ron had a '76 Free Spirit Century back about '86 or '87. I drove it a couple times. Man, what I great car! The paint and decals were pretty faded but it went like snot and handles like it was on rails. I do have one pic of the car I could post but be forewarned, in the pic Ron's standing in front of the car in just cutoff jeans. IIRC, a bunch of us went to the water park that day.

I was being sarcastic Nick. That bus tour went right through my province, which,BTW, is pretty well identical to NS [except for the lack of murders of course LOL ] ,, you probably went right through my town for that matter. So, yea, New Brunswickers love to hear how "lovely" NS is as you drive right through our front yard to get there. BTW Nick, not just ragging on you, EVERYBODY does it.

Scott, I think we're being "punked". This guy comes on her from time to time spouting similar nonsense to this. I think it's how he entertains himself

Being a New Brunswicker, I just love hearing how beautiful Nova Scotia is.

I'm pretty sure Time Machine Resin has that hood in 1/25.

I feel for ya Bill. When I was a kid, we lived on the west coast, Vancouver Island , for a while. Worst winter they had was that year, they had 4" of snow. Shut everything down for days. LOL So an inch can be bad if your not used to it. Here on the Maritimes, we don't even bother cleaning the car off for that amount.

You may have fudged that one Scott but I believe your other statements to be correct. But this poster has a history of making posts with similar "content".

Where do you live Bill? We don't even have any snow here in my part of Canada. But by the end of January it'll look something like this.

I have 2 copies of that kit , both the last issue in the "street custom" box and they both have the correct non-wagon chassis.

Pretty sure he means not the same as the kit scoops they're looking for , which are,,

NEVER trust a guy who makes you call him "Captain" and makes you forget what you did with him the night before.

Looks really good Steven, you're really going all out with this one. Mine's kinds stalled as I'm using my free time buffing the paint out on my 1/1 project. It's getting a bit too cold to work on it now so I'll be back to the 1/25 projects soon.
