74 the Cleveland was common. 75 and 76 windsors were more common. My 1:1 S&H had a Windsor from the factory. Tried to send you a PM Charlie. Says I cant send to you

Well, factory built cars could have a 302, 351w, 351c (74 only) 351m or a 460. The 2004 movie cars had stroked windsors. The kit engine looks to be a windsor. I could not see the pics of the block/heads well enough to tell though. The valve covers are definitely windsor.

My best uneducated guess....

I will only go on kits I have. Johan 60 Desoto, Comet and Maverick, AMT 49 Merc, AMT 64 and 65 Galaxies, Lindberg 53 Fords and 64 Dodges. Revell 40 Ford.

Thank you for the excellent pics Chuck. As much as I love the subject, it is going on the "Maybe if I find it on clearance" list. If found cheap, I may try to fix it, but in my opinion it is a tough fix. Not going to go into why because I do not need to be called a rivet counter or anything.

Chuck, I hate to ask, can we get a straight on shot of the front? I want to see the headlight bezel shape and fender angle. Thanks!

Ohhhh... that is sad! Hey Chris, what about independent Henley Gray? He ran a Thunderbird in 71. As for those calling it a 70's barge, with the similarities to the 70-71 Cyclone, alot can be done with this kit.

Overall it looks pretty good, but pics of it built will show a lot more. The dash looks good for a 72, as does the rest of the interior. For the 72 Sport, the side panels will be incorrect, but could be cut out of the tub and changed with some plastic. To be more correct the dash needs some work since the pad does not extend to the windshield. Overall dash layout and shape is good. Be sure the 1/4 windows do not align with the door, they actually install ahead of the door and at a little angle. That could have been a part of the "looking too small" in the test shots. It definitely looks as if this was started in the 80's or so and now comes to completion It has enough of detail for me, just want it to look "right" when built. I have attached pics just as an FYI for the side glass, dash comments and 72 Sport interior comments. The interior rear panels would be easy to replicate.

These were really nice kits.... yea, engine compartments and chassis lacked, but the looked right. Love all the engine detail. Steve, you can build it as an SOHC, but the block and heads are incorrect. Those are about the nicest SOHC covers out there too. AMT 67 Mustang donates a nice chassis to this kit

Love this kit. I have several of the MK versions, now I will need more. This thing builds up sweet. Wish it had an accurate 429 though. Ehhh.... I'll put a cammer in one with a supercharger poking out of the hood.

Holy smokes!!! Look at those hinges!

I'd vote for any AMC product or Mercury since there is not that much out there. 58 Ford would be a must have also.

I tried the hoarding thing on the BMF.... it wrinkled and was useless then. I am going to make my own and try it. Here is the how to vid https://youtu.be/mUhfdTqUpTY

that's pretty cool. Wanting to get rid of it?

9x13 can fit a bunch of parts

Yes, he did deserve to make a ton of money. I have quite a few of the MK kits in my stash. There are only a few I did not get me hands on.

maybe..... I personally like the sellers selling a vintage AMT kit for big bucks... yet you can get the same kit at the LHS and it's in the same box.

Yea, and I bet it pisses off the Ebay hoarders. Hahahahaha

Well said

I want these.... had em as a kid. Loved the Monogram Big n Littles

Not me........... Hahahaha

I agree 100%. I was interested in the Buick also, and do not have it for the same reasons. The Styline 61 Ford sold well, but does have a lot of options. Even though they are curbsides, some bonus parts (wheels, tires especially) and some nice decals, I think it would do well. Be sure that the 67 Mustang is released at the same time. I know I would donate the chassis even though it is not 100% correct.

Bill, I was just saying. I am not real familiar with the nailhead. I know the port spacing is unique and would notice if they were incorrect like even spaced or like a SBC..... as for them being off... I never noticed.

According to this, the ports look fine to me.

was rather pricey thru Model King.... that's all.
