  1. Good to see they are on top of it. Thanks, Gary
  2. Ah, Thanks. I'm still waiting for the "Highboy Style" 1960s 4x4, with the tall, skinny tires.
  3. I'm unhappy that I missed attending the March Meets this year. I just could not afford to go. I have not been able to make it since 2019! Ugh! Between COVID, Eye Surgery and scarce funds, I have just had to put it off. Well, I should be able to make the Hot Rod Reunion in October. Maybe next year, provided they happen next year.
  4. Is this kit going to be a 4x4?
  5. His build up of the ole Ratpacker sure looks sharp!
  6. And, HPI Guy has one! Note that there is no rear window for the top. He would have really been able to do a better review if he had looked at the instructions that were posted earlier in this thread. It would have allowed him to I.D. many of the parts he is puzzled by. The finished build sure looks great, though!
  7. I am waiting to see one of the New Moebius kits built with the decals from the AMT Chevy II "Twister" kit.
  8. Gary, what has Atlantis told you in regards to this problem?
  9. Is there a Tamiya Colour that is close to this green? I can probably get Tamiya easier than I can get Testor's anymore.
  10. What colour Green is this car? I really dig the box art Green , and the two Real Car are cool too.
  11. And the directions. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/mpc-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/mpc-1967-chevrolet-/ Not my kinda kit, but I am very happy to see it released again.
  12. I agree with you, Ace. But, the inability to manufacture or ship the correct parts will be the death of our complicated, Just-in-Time civilization. This is just a taste of what is coming. The Go-Along-to-Get-Along folks already out number those who try to do a good job. In Fact, many of the 'Go Along' types. look down on the Hard Working types, because it make the 'Go Alongs' look bad. Thus, were get here. Eventually, the whole rotten thing will collapse, as correct parts, of good quality slowly vanish.
  13. They've done the Blankety-Blank '64 Galaxie at least twice in the last 2 years! Time for this kit to come back. Maybe with Coke Branding. ?
  14. It was mentioned on the other board, that a big shipment of these , is stuck on a train car, waiting to be unloaded. They are here, just not in the retail channels yet.
  15. Very Nice! Looks period Correct, to the old photos, I've seen.
  16. Oh, That is great news, Steve! I really can't wait to see what other little surprises are in there.
  17. Since this kit re-uses the chassis from the '64-67 Corvette kits, after looking at the photos Steve posted on page 2, you can see that a few small parts from various years of the kit have survived on the sprues. I see what might be the Rally Instrument cluster from the '64 Vette and the Jackstand from the '63-4-5 kits. Not chromed any more but it is there. It looks like most of the Fuel Injection intake may be present as well. Without being able to zoom in on the sprues in the new kit, it is very hard to see what else may have survived, Anyway, there will be a few very old parts, that haven't been seen in ages, hiding in this kit. As Dave Darby says, a huge period parts mine. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/amt-63-corvette-sti/file4.html https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/1961-1970/amt_64_corvette/1964_corvette_conve-2.html
  18. Great Build. As others have said, the colour is a match to a real car.
  19. I am so glad to see you back, and building again. The build is superb, and your colour choice is perfect! I look forward to seeing many more of your builds.
  20. Awesome Build! You really nailed the weathering (as every other commenter has noted)
  21. Very Sharp Build! I like it. The various wood finishes contrast nicely.
  22. Thanks, Bill. I am not the highly skilled Race Driver type. I drive well, but that is all. So, for me, ABS is a lifesaver.
