This was my first car. Bought it in 1980. I was a Junior in High School. It is a 1953/53 Dodge M-43 Ambulance. Paid $800.00 for it. Weighs about 8900 lbs. 4 Speed Trans. High/Low transfer case. 2wd/4wd. In the High range only 2nd,3rd & 4th could be used on the street. 1st gear was a Granny Low, about 10 mph top speed. Despite the size of the wheels and brake drums, the actual brake shoes are smaller than a Plymouth Valiant. I sold it in 1991.

High Roller Chevy Luv! Pontiac Fiero! Chevy S-10 Lowrider! Revell will be getting some of my money for sure!

I think this is the best answer I've read yet. Thank You, Pete

Good Luck , Nathan. I hope your Car finds You!

Beautiful Build. If you had not mentioned it's 3D origin, I'd have bet it was a kit from Eastern Europe. Good Show.

Nope, not Software. Just Fools. You are correct about the origins of the MMtC kit. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/show-rods/amt-xr-6-27-t--ford/ https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/tv--movie/amt-my-mother-the-car/ The MMtC added a Set of 3 new Hood Parts, a Radiator, and spacer to mount it on, a Radio, an a 5 piece Gas Tank and Base, and a Trunk. Not much else is changed. Close examination of the instructions shows most of the kit is a straight carry over.

Indeed, I saw a 1/4 Miler as well.

Man, Eduard needs to have you build their display models. One of the best Aircraft builds I've ever seen. Good Show.

The Revell '37 Ford Pickup in the 2'n'1 Version has a nice Hopped up Flathead also.

Look at this page for My Mother The Car.... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/amt-904-150-my-mother-car--1153055/timeline This is why Scalemates is so rotten sometimes.

What a Great Build, Idea! I'll be watching too.

It was a designer for Monogram, IIRC. In am article in SAE about 30 Years ago. It might be Horseapples to you Ace, but I remember the quote. It made sense to me then, as he was referring to Models designed in the 1970's. Artistic License, made a great explanation for all the Scorn heaped on the Body Shapes of the 1956-57 Chevies tooled back then.

Oh, it is. And they release older kits in Anime markings all the time. Worth checking, if there is some obscure Hasegawa kit you can't find. There is a good chance it may have been re-released as an Anime themed kit.

Glad to have you onboard! Those are some Awesome Builds. I'm in Bakersfield, in the Central Valley.

Those are both excellent Builds of the legendary AMT '34 Pickup. Good Show.

This is a Big Help for me too. It provides some accountability.

Either SP 632 or 54632 for the stock number. https://banzaihobby.com/products/hasegawa-sp632-1-24-triple-fighter-demon-car That Japanese Home Market Stuff is just wild. And it shows Hasegawa is using 3d Printing to update older kits.

Trade Completed. Mods, please delete.

Matt. I got the Pics. Replied with my Answer. Cheers!

Bringing this thread back from the Dead. Did anybody ever build that Mustang Chase car?

Well the 330 P4 is a Non-Starter for me. Too many iffy parts, and More Than I want to Bite off this time. I'm switching to the AMT '69 Ford Galaxie. Sorry, for the change.

Very Nice Ardun V-12s! I should get one.

I have the New R2 Black Beauty kit. I won't be using the Wheels or Tires. I'm looking to get a Flat, Modren style Light Bar to fit my 2021 Bronco kit. Anybody want to trade? Cheers, Alan
