Awesome Set Up. Looks like an above average, "Saturday Night Special" race team with a bit of extra money and a whole lot of pride! Perfect weathering on the truck, too.

How Horrible! I've not done that, but moving around in the dark has hurt me too, in the past. Get better soon.

AWesome Build! Thanks for Sharing. I'm glad Round2 tooled this kit.

No, they did not and never will sell in large enough numbers to justify (or Amortize) the tooling costs. It is the Mustangs and Camaros (or their equivalent) that pays the bills.

Iron City gets my Vote. (or the much-missed, Olympia)

If you get a new kit, I'd love to see a side-by-side photo of the old and new chrome trees!

LA Speeds can be quite scary. 35 mph on the freeway is normal now.

And, In California (where they are always screaming about higher gas mileage) these things are virtually banned. A possible source of fuel sipping trucks, and they don't want them.

Yes, Yes they were. And not from someplace with a name you would recognize. And "Teens"? 17-18-19 I believe.

Looks Good! I like the Jungle Camo.

Okay. So what do you suggest. I'm using the Duck, and have been unhappy with it for awhile.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Tim , I echo what Scott has to say. Thank You for doing such a great build and taking such wonderful pics! I have to say also, that this article (even if late) helps to put to rest any desire to ever own or build one of these kits. It looks like an awkward, fussy build, of a frankly, Unique, but Not Really Attractive Car. If Monogram had continued making and selling these kits thru the 1980's, most likely, you would not be able to give them away. The only things that I see that would be usable are the engine and wheels. The only thing, in my opinion that makes this a grail, is the Back Story and subsequent Issues with both the kit, and it's owner. Absent that, It would be an "Also-Ran". P.S. I hope to live long enough to see the real car dragged out of a One Car garage in Burbank, Pasadena, or some other 1950's suburb in L.A. someday, when the guy who owns it now, passes on, and his kids dispose of the thing.

Exactly what is wrong with the wheels? I know the tires in HPI Guy's review look truly awful, but the rims looked okay.

Molds are long gone. Bob Paeth told me so back about 2005.

That's the one I remember, most likely. Thank You , Sir!

That '64, Bottom Row, Far Right, is the one I have part of.

I've got half of one, dated 1964. Wish I had a whole one. It came from my Dad. I did not know he was into that kind of thing when I was one yr old.

NIce Work, so far! I do like your fix on the front hole. Clever! I'd go green, for Pacific, or gray for a boat in the Med.

Nope, it was the 65/66 Coupe. Painted Tamiya Turquoise Colour, I think. It was on the cover.

Bump.

How about Mid 1960's Monte Carlo Rallye decals? The distinctive Red Ones.

So any tires that would fit on the rims After I grind the ribs off?

So, Who Makes the Best 1930 Model A Roadster?

I did indeed forget the Taurus. Nice Catch!
