    Don't forget the Rambler

    Very cool build..... Looks great

    And the frustration begins...... I wet sanded again, had a color chosen, sprayed a test piece and all looked good. Few days later decided to spray the body, and the paint came out like I was spraying syrup. A lot of orange peal and thick enough for your pancakes. Let it sit, tried a wet sand and polish, but the paint still looked like it was dipped in a can. Off to the purple bath which took off most of the filler also.... back to body work. Sand, sand, sand. I am trying not to let it get to the "shelf of doom"

    Looks great! I really like this kit

    Looks great, Love 56's but I would say it needs the headlight bezels.

    That build is sweet!!! Accurate or not, I really want to see this kit return.

    This goes right along with the Nova..... The box art clearly shows an MPC build but the kit is the AMT. Kind of leads me to believe the MPC tooling exists

    Interesting but hard to top the looks of a stock bodied 57 'Bird

    As much slack as this kit gets, it isn't all that bad, just old. Glad to see one being built. I have a few and will get another for a Saturday night stock car build. That being said, if the body is too loose, consider gluing in rocker panels. I have done this on quite a few old kits and it helps a lot.

    I have built a few of these over the years and all came out pretty decent. Yes, it has it's issues, but in my eye looks good. I only pick on new tools. I will get another because I have been building some Saturday night stock car type of builds recently and this will fit right in there. Besides, I want to support R2 with their reissue program. Have my hands on a slew of old kits now that could only be found on ebay for stupid money

    77 Pinto!!! I am in! Horray

    I'll be watching this. I only have one of these kits and am really torn how to build it

    Those Nascar kits are really nice. It is too bad more do not enjoy them. Looking good so far

    This thing is looking good. I see a small issue, but will keep my comment til it makes further progress. I sure would like one though
  15. Sledsel
    Wow... that is some slicing and dicing. Looking good!

    Not much of an update. Been messing with getting the body right. I changed primer colors and the white showed flaws the red didn't. I did get the A pillars fixed a bit and new drip rails on. I also added a trim piece on the tail light panel. Not shown in these pics, I added carpet using felt because of all the irregularities of the Nascar floor pan. Came out pretty good in my opinion Some more wet sanding and it should be ready for paint. Once there is some color, I will finish other sub assemblies. I have a color in mind, but anybody have a suggestion?

    Sorry, I thought it was being done as a single 4 barrel car

    427 4V cars ran an open element round air cleaner

    Even with it's issues, this kit builds up pretty well. I'll probably add another to the stash and I will continue to support R2 because of them digging out so many old kits making it possible to build them without paying nutty prices.

    I missed out on it then... Hope they put it out again
  21. Sledsel
    That is looking great. Personally, I like the 77/78 Grill and tail lights.
  22. Sledsel
    Those tires are right on track by today's standards....... LOL

    Interesting thing is after it is released the originals prices will not go down, they will just be listed as "Vintage" I recently even saw "vintage" release of the 71 Thunderbird (same box as newer release) with a buy it now of $99.... They will sit on it awhile I think

    Long bed, short bed, 73, 79, don't care.... WANT IT

    The grill (to me) looks like a modified 42 Ford grill
