Thanks, I was just wondering. I liked the look of the kit rims, and wondered if they were incorrect somehow.

Sure Looks Nice! Good Show.

I see you used PP Wheels. What was wrong with the Kit rims?

Super Sharp Build. I like the look of this car. Good Show.

I got to see this build in Person at our club meeting. https://modelingmadness.com/review/civil/genav/sumgoose.htm

Hoo Boy! What a great idea.(sarc) Does MOPAR hate just their Fanboys that much?

Stay far away from the Lindberg kit. It is an old Ideal Toys kit. Baseball sized rivets, poor shapes, and overall clunky design.

What a Glorious Replica! It looks Showroom Fresh! Good Show.

I agree. There is so much that could be done to freshen up these kits with Minimal effort. Just stock hubcaps and steelies on the usual re-tread ex-Monogram tires would help, and as you note a Four Barrel Carb on the 289 would be great. Add in a Ladder and a couple Racks, and you could sell it to a whole new generation of builders. It doesn't have to be Stock, it just has to look Stock. (from the outside, anyway). The guys who want all stock will have to convert it. With Resto-Mods and Resto-Rods being popular Revell could surf the trends.

Thanks for the Pics Michael. That helps.

Finnish Master Juha Airio did many years ago..... I think it was in SAE around '98. The Jetrolet. Scale Auto Enthusiast issue 114, April 1998. Juha Airio's Jetrolet Anti-Gravity car.

It's about time for Revell to dust off the tooling for the '55 Panel Truck version of this tool, and give us a fresh version. If they threw in some Stock(ish) looking wheels and tires, it would probably do pretty well. Add in some Light Commercial Decals to sweeten the deal.

40 years ago, the feral cats at my Folks ranch had a litter of kittens. I named them Aileron, Speedbrake and Tailwheel. Only Aileron ever became friendly. B.T.W. Thanks for posting all the Cat Pics. My 6 year old Grandson and I look at the pics some mornings. He Loves the pics and shrieks with Joy, when he see photos of Cats that look like the 5 cats he has at his house. He really likes to look at the Cat Pics and Videos!

Because they don't look like engines... There could be anything under there. Squirrels, Nuclear Reactors, Magic Beans! They have no romance, no soul.

Really Neat Conversion. I love the Grille! Where did you source it?

The older I get the more I feel like I don't want to build an engine in anything built after the year 2000. Just too much trouble.

My Truck does have a lot of Cabin noise. How did you get the sound deadening done?

I really like this one! Fogged Paint, Showcar Nose! Good Show.

A subdued paint job, tasteful custom rims, subtle custom touches all add up to a Superb Truck! This is really a Home Run Build. Excellent work. Good Show.

Gofer Racing sells some. Model Roundup has them. (as will anyplace that carries Gofer Racing parts) https://www.modelroundup.com/category-s/291.htm

My truck (2007 Chevy) will stay with stock rims and tires for it's life. The Rims are sharp looking, and it rides and drives just fine as it is. I want to add a Brush Guard/Push Bumper and mount Fog Lights but that is about it as far as mods go. I'm too old to want to fool around with "Cool" looks anymore. If I want Cool, I'll build a model of it.

Model Roundup, shows it too. Quotes an October timeline.

A Museum Quality Replica! Excellent Build! Good Show.

This Photo is a Must Have for detailing the engine on this kit when it comes out.

Always! Too Much, is never enough....
