I really like the extended frame, Tom. The car just looks right, on that chassis.

The '40 Willys Coupe kit has been released many times over the years. If you just want to build the Coupe, the older versions of the kit, should be pretty easy to find on the secondary market.

Laser Sharp Build! As others have noted, you nailed both the colours and photography. Really Impressive build.

Re: 4x4 Vans. I've seen a couple of them on the road lately. Both were newer looking, with large Roof Racks and a vaguely Commercial Air about them. No Company Names on the doors, but they were gray or white and did not look like "Pleasure Vans".

Thanks sharing this. A new Superbird will be very nice.

Amen , Brother, Amen!

Funny, I had a '73 Chevy Wagon with the 400 Small Block. Gobs of torque off the line, but a dog otherwise.

Looks Good, Bo! I have that kit, waiting to be started.

I think That the Scale Equip kit was a resin Re-pop of the Revell Buggy.

I had a '73 Dodge 3/4 Ton , Camper Special with the 400 Cu, 2 Barrel set up. It was a dog of a motor and would sometimes die, going around corners. Rain made it worse. Three Different Shops had it, trying to fix the carb problem. All failed. I still wish I had the truck though. With What I know now, I think I could get the problem resolved.

Thanks, Guys. My Grandson (Luke) loved the new Cat Pics!

You are correct about some guys wanting to buy a case. I hope it sells very quickly. (just not so fast, that I can't get at least one, LOL)

Sorry to hear this. Always a Heart-Stopping moment when you get this news. I hope your job search goes well. Build some models. (or at least play with them a bit..)

I see no evidence to support your comment. We have no idea exactly what he is doing to solve his problem. Possibly he is following up on some of the suggestions that have already been made.

The Tweedy Pie Intake sounds like a great option for this kit.

I am waiting to see the first "What's in the Box" videos. Should be one up on the Tubes, here in the next few weeks.

I'd like to hear more details, about exactly which TD kits they have. The Horn Toad does nothing for me, but some of the VW powered Buggy Kits would great!

This^^^^^^ Back to the car. I think I remember Tom Gaffney or Larry Greenberg in a kit review many years ago, telling us that the Air Cleaner in this kit was for a Euro Spec Camaro. I like Espo's story better, especially since he was there at the time driving the car. I just know that this kit is head and shoulders above the '81 Camaro that HPI Guy built a couple months ago. Both the Detail and Sophistication rival a glue kit in many ways, while the '81 is just a lump.

Sharp Build! Great Work on the dio.

It will be nice to get this kit. I prefer some parts of it to the AMT version.

Good Question, Ron. Maybe we will see somebody do something about this.

MALIBU SURFER HAT! According to an old copy of the instructions, any way!

MPC Kit is the Airfix, Imported to the US. Eduard is the New Gold Standard. I would not touch the Bandai. Strictly for Collectors or Nostalgia Builders who fancy a good Wrestle, and have forgotten how the kit really is.

Thanks for the links to Hurd Hobbies.

Thanks for sharing that photo! I have never seen those parts before, only looked at the instruction sheet. What a complicated bit of kit!
