I’m putting together a list of all of the Revell kits that were packaged under the “Revell Muscle” series. So far I have: ’69 Dodge Charger R/T ’06 Shelby GT-H ’71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda (Red) ’71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda (Purple) ’67 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi ’68 Mustang GT ’70 Ford Torino Cobra ’69 Chevy Nova COPO ’72 Olds Custom Supreme ’69 Ford Torino Talladega ’78 Pontiac Firebird ’70 Buick GSX ’66 Pontiac GTO ’69 Dodge Super Bee Shelby Series 1 '68 Pontiac Firebird 400 Ram Air '67 Chevy Chevelle Pro Street '69 Pontiac GTO Judge '64 Pontiac GTO '71 Plymouth GTX '06 Ford Mustang GT '06 Dodge Magnum SRT8 '69 Dodge Charger Daytona '96 Ford Mustang Saleen S281 '67 Plymouth Hemi GTX Are there others that need to be added? I'm not necessarily thinking I'll collect all of these, but it's tempting. Right now the '67 and '69 Chargers are at the top of my "to get" list. List above has now been amended to reflect known boxings. Cover below illustrates the specific series I seek information on, and is typical of the series.

Great looking "Vette. Nice job.

Nice model. I had one but sold it (Pro Modeller boxing), but I'll chase down another one of these days.

You'll love it, it fits together like a dream.

Thanks, Bruce. Nope. It'll be curbside, and no one will ever see the bottom of the car, including myself, once it's finished.

Looks good so far.

A good buddy decided that he'll never build this, so he gave it to me. It's certainly a classic, and I look forward to tackling it this winter.

It's something we all get to deal with sooner or later, and it's always emotionally difficult.

Yep, quite the babe.

Exhaust was a bit warped, so after rear mounts were thoroughly dry, I cemented and taped the fronts into position.

Frame starts to come together. I won't do a lot here, just what's needed to support body.

I forgot to follow up on this one. Here she is as an adult (Dallas days).

The window problem with the Lindberg kit could maybe be worked out, but I'd never, ever find those wheels in 1:32 scale, so there's no point for me to buy it.

The four door certainly is, yes. Kojak is on every night here at 1:00 AM, and I try to never miss an episode.

The best data I have, is from the Buick brochure. My car was identical to the one in the background, but with wheels like the one in the foreground. I have only one, perhaps two photos of the real car.

Nice selection, thanks.

I don't recall those, but I also had a chemistry set that came in a hinged metal box, like a suitcase. I was quite the mad scientist in our basement.

I couldn't agree more, no reason to limit oneself regarding colors, unless a factory stock (for the period) appearance is sought.

One of my many favorites, was a collection of stuff from Edmund Scientific. It was a fascinating set that dealt with science concepts, and allowed one to learn while having fun. Not a toy as such, but very cool nonetheless.

Oh they're covered, they've just not been covered. I think I have that covered now.

OK, thanks. I had no idea. When I do mine, I'm not real sure if I'll use a specific factory color or not.

Just out of curiosity, what does the B5 reference mean?

Engine compartment is looking great.

I'm real glad to see you're using stock wheels. I was Googling images for the '68 Dodge Charger a few days ago, and was stunned to see gobs of cars with big old ugly wheels on them. I was a bit shocked to see so many that were doctored up that way. It may seem a bit conservative, but I simply don't think the appearance of these old Mopars can be improved upon at all, wheels wise. Any change from stock only appears to me to be a detriment, not an improvement, but that's just my view.

I had a '75 Century for several years. I'd love to see a new kit of that.
