Hey guys, a fuel injection unit is pretty easy to make from an old tunnel ram manifold. Just use the bottom 1/2 with a plate of some kind on top, add an old carb as a throttle body and add injectors and fuel runner made from pieces of wire. Instant "fuel injection" unit. I've done this a couple times.

Mike's right. Completely different kit. Nothing shared.

Cool project Jeff. I have one of those to restore myself some day. ? I don't remember any up tops made for those. The one in the new tool AMT '62 might be modified to fit. I haven't tried it on a '64/'66 but I have on an original '63 and it might be cut down a bit to fit. , ,Too high in back.

I just did the tail lights and 1/4 panel caps. The rest came from Model Car Garage , but as I said, they don't do the resin front parts any more. I have another one in the works. Been working on it off and on for over 10 years now, I guess. Seeing your work on your wagon has me thinking about getting it back out and finishing it up. Looking at the pics just now reminded me that I did send off a set of the parts to someone who was making a resin conversion kit. They did use my parts as a master for theirs. Darned if I can remember who it was now though. Just remembered that he was doing the corrected body for the Revell '90 Mustang coupe too.

Yea. We didn't have an FM station here in Fredericton until around '80 or '81 ,, and then, IIRC, it was a country station. Mainstream rock/top 40 stations started within months though.

That was me. I did the tail lights almost 20 years ago though and don't have any left. The front end came with the MCG photoetch set for the '69 Chevelle/Beaumont but it hasn't been included in the set for years either.

Nice work. One of my uncles had a '65 2dr hardtop in the '70s. What part of Manitoba are you in?

It's a transparent brown over the light gold.

The '68 Buick Electra LTD. that's been in our family for 50 years has a factory AM/FM radio.

I,ve seen this kit in 2 boxes. Fujimi kit but again, out of production.

Coming along nicely. windows in, polished and foiled. Interior painted.

Front fenders and hood were quite a bit different.

I just came across this Fotki album on the car. Night be helpful, maybe you already know about it, BTW, anyone know who "Loud-Pedal" is ? He sure has a lot of great pics in his albums. https://public.fotki.com/LOUD-PEDAL/famous-hot-rods/jimmy-addisons-silv/

They were in a few Monogram drag cars back in the '80s and '90s.

I liked those movies and the idea that they do keep changing them and keeping them fresh. 10 movies about street racing would get pretty old pretty fast for me. I heard a lot of people complaining that they're not "realistic" but it's just an action movie, not a documentary.

Yes, in fact, it's encouraged. That's what the "WIP" section is for so post away. ?

Very sharp Jim. ?

Looks great to me. ?

Plus different engine parts, wheels, etc.

Pretty cool, Dave. I sure wish someone would find the tooling for the Meter Cheater and the other ones in that series.

It's Tamiya pearl yellow spray. I like all makes Claude. Thanks everyone. ?

Looks fantastic. Is that Tamiya pearl yellow over the kit plastic?

Love the magazine rack truck. I don't think I've ever seen that done before.
