Amen, James. Big Amen!

Wow! A truly Awesome Build. Your UK trucks look much different than the ones I worked on.

Possibly the Monogram 1970 Heavy Chevy kit. It has six Centerlines on the Chrome Tree, and those are Monogram tires.

I built the original in 1979 or 1980. The MPC kit was just as bad then. We just built them with the gaps. LOL.

Neat Truck. I work in the Kern County Oil Fields. We seldom see trucks that heavy duty out here.

Good Idea. That Pro-Tour Elky is the bomb. I missed out on the first issue. Be really Nice to see it return. How about the Westcraft Boat in the bed as a bonus?

Thanks, For sharing, Tim. NOw, I want Round2 to re-issue this kit.

Oh, Yes! I wonder what the other parts could be. There really is not all that much shown in the '68/'69 Instruction sheets that does not already show in the convertible kit.

This! In Spades!

I'm not sure.

I have the Fujimi kit. I need to get some Historic Racing Miniatures wheels for it. These wheels.

No Worries, Keyser! I apologize for seeming rude, Sir, but I see many identical comments monthly on a variety of threads here. I let my fingers do the talking this time instead of not commenting. Mostly, I do read, and never say a thing. My Fault.

I hope the other light bar parts make it into the Hardtop kit, though!

To Respond to others. I want to like the Salvino's kits. I've watched HPI Guy assemble enough of them. But, the current crop of NASCAR kits are even less interesting (to me) than the older kits, that made Salvino's famous. Also, I have noted that many commenter's here, will post similar thoughts. i am by far not the only one. (search for comments, that say "Meh") Given the fact that Salvino has expanded their offerings to Asphalt Modified Racers, sooner or later, they will kit a subject that I want. It just has not happened yet.

That Nova came in at least Two different flavors, a '77 Stock Nova (Complete with C.B. Radio) and the afore mentioned Rod. Notice the Box Tops. This would make a nice 2'n'1 Kit, like the Pacer kit. And the Stock 2 door would make a decent Police Car. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1971-1980/amt_nova_hatchback/?view=roll#1 https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1971-1980/amt-1976-chevy-nova/?view=roll#1 Notice that the Red Nova box art does not show the contents of the kit.

I think, I have a Beaver in the Garage, right now.

No, They have not given a firm number of kits. That is a Guess on my part. Sorry for the confusion.

Great Build. Nice to see one built that is not in the Box Top Colours.

Really Neat Build. Way out of the box thinking, and it works nicely.

Wow! I've never seen these before.

Chris at Bolide sent me the parts I ordered quickly, and packaged very well. They are perfectly detailed, down to the smallest piece. The Gas Cans and Hi-Lift Jacks are truly superb. He has Bronco Bumpers to for the Frist Gen, Revell Bronco too. Order from Chris with confidence. BTW, he is taking a break to get re-stocked, so it may take him some time to respond. I'll be ordering more anon.

Wife and I watched it, too. If you take it as a Fun, Light movie, it works. But, it was not great cinema, just fluff. But, very good fluff!

Watched 'Samaritan" with Sly Stallone. Pretty Decent Movie, with a good storyline. Stallone 'owns' the movie, but in a good way. Best part! Check out the totally Blacked Out Villains cars. Three of them. Buick (?) GNX, 1980's El Camino & and a really Cool, 72 (?) Ford Torino Four Door. The Tori no always leads the pack and gets a bit more screen time than the others. Hard to see what wheels are on the cars. Thirty years ago, there would already be an article in "Starlog Magazine" about "the Cars of Samaritan" but, that kind of thing is long gone. I'd really like to try to build one of them. The GNX and Elky are both in kit form, I believe.

Food Price Inflation. I'm in California. Had to buy Eggs yesterday. Two Cartons of Eggs, 18 count, 8.68 each. Total, $17.36. 48 cents an Egg! Just Outrageous. At this rate, I'll need to save my rapidly dwindling paycheque for food, not models...

Monogram, Did.
