I have had all these kits at one time or another. In my opinion, among the best from Monogram. Simple, to build and look great.

No they didn't.... Just Y-Block Fords were in the rear, never any FE Ford.

I was a fan of Art and am still a fan of Coast to Coast. Keeps me going when building at night. The show has always been a different perspective of things and really makes you "think" a little more. I used to drive alot at night and would search for him at 1am, listen til I lost the station and find him on another. Once I drove a 62 Cadillac home from Florida to Ohio and listened to him on Coast to Coast from Atlanta til the show ended when I was somewhere in Kentucky... The kicker was, it was a stock radio (radio search button was on the floor too) and I never switched the station when I found it in Atlanta... 1100am from Cleveland.

That chrome was an option, as was rocker trim and a chrome piece around the door handles (not on this kit)

Hope to see this return. I want to build more versions We know the tool is available.

I like it... We all booger things so learn and keep going Hope this one comes back soon

Looks Awesome. Very good use of a kit you don't have parts for or is too damaged. Kudos to ya

It is looking good to me. I have only done the Olds so far and really had no problems with it. Now, I did a bunch of work to it out of personal preference. The front suspension bugged me, so I grafted the front of the frame from a Monogram 70 Chevelle. The Chevelle was 1/24 and the Olds 1/25, and the frame lined up really nicely. Granted, the frame is not super detailed, but better than it was.

Looks Great... Wonder if the tool still exists.......

Love Edsels and am watching this one for sure. Engine looks great too

Chassis was the easiest part, I cut 2 frames at the rear foot well and glued together. Added a center plate at the joint to cover exhaust and driveshaft and mimic a spot for a carrier bearing

Looking good.

Awesome work

Looks AWESOME. Love this kit

Looks great!!

I like it.... A lot!!! How you tint that windshield?

Was actually pretty simple. The T'bird roof was a bit tall, so I just sanded a bit off the bottom of the "C" pillar. Once I had the height, I cut the wagon roof as far towards the rear as possible.Taped the T'bird roof in place, overlapped the front section and cut the T'bird roof shorter. Spacers for height while the roof dried. The side windows are just pieces of Evergreen styrene cut to fit using online photos for reference. The drip rails are also Evergreen strips.

As a stock bodied street rod "I" would need to "try" to correct it. I may get a stock one to chop since the chopped version of this is so horrid. As for engineered, I agree, many of the new kits are engineered very well, but when they screw up the bodies, all the fitting just does not justify the kit. My list of very well engineered kits that lack very badly on the body accuracy are: #1 Revell 49 Mercury #2 Revell 57 Ford #3 Revell Chopped 48 Ford BTW, Tulio does ALL his builds very very well. Love his builds.

Try the Firefighter Mustang pro stock scoop looks like a fabricated aluminum scoop FYI

The windshield is too tall to me. I agree, the roof flatness could be causing the illusion. The more I look at this pic and Túlio Lazzaroni's build (The best I have seen) the windshield may be pretty close, but the roof above the rain gutter is too low on the kit. I see the door frame issue. The kit almost has a corner above the vent where the car is a curve with no flat areas Will these things keep me from building it? Good chance, but I may try to correct one, just getting tired of correcting lately.

Like the chopped coupe, the windshield is too tall and the rear quarter window is too big and shaped wrong..

There are a lot of issues with the Revell 57. Owning a 57, the issues stand out like a sore thumb. The Del Rio is worse. You can combine the Revell sedan and AMT hardtop and build a nice kit, but it is a lot of work.

The wheels and tires are from a Monogram Nascar kit. The supplied tires were just too large for me

Thanks.... Did a bit of work to it first. I patched the front fenders, de-radiused the rear quarters and cut the front of the frame off and replaced with a Monogram/Revell 70 Chevelle frame clip. Not the best, but looked better than the kit front end.

Well, R2/AMT came thru with the tire sets..... How about some wheel sets? Many retooled kits have wheels on separate sprues, how about a couple of sprues in a parts pack?
