Hood Fit can be dodgy. Make sure the body, hood and fenders all fit the way you want before painting. (Don't ask how I know this..) Kit is nice, but is old tooling, so some fits can be soft. The AMT '32,36, and 40 Ford Kits all use the same engine Mounting points, so you can swap in the xtra engine from any of these kits, if you do not want to use the Buick, that is in the kit. The '36 Has a Pontiac, the '32 Vicky/Touring has a Killer Ford 427, and the '32 Coupe has a 283 Small Block Chevy. And the '32 Roadster has a really neat Blown Hemi. You will like the kit. Have fun and make your dad proud.

HPI Guy did a build of this kit too, with all the 21st Century add-ons to the base kit you started with. (Decals, Extra Chrome parts, Printed Tires)

Still looking very Nice.

Looking Great, Bruce. You are fortunate to be able to build these.

Comparison of Yodel and MPC Dodge Monacos
stavanzer replied to ABC Auto Industry's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
You can add one more Yodel Kit. I've never seen it in person, but It Looks pretty neat. Even had a spoiler! https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/yodel/yodel-big-american-/ -

Moebius Wrecker Truck Announcement
stavanzer replied to Erik Solie's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Man, I need that Wrecker. about 3 of them, in fact. -
trikes for parts?
stavanzer replied to rattle can man's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Some of them have a Decent (but not great) Small Block Chevy, and most of them have some very Nice Rear Tires/Wheels. Nice Decals too. If you buy a couple, the Front Wheels will work for Drag racers. -
Tricky Question, as most small drills spin so fast that they will melt, rather than cut plastic. Variable speed Dremel seems to be the way many folks do it. I use hand drills.

A question for Mr. Goldman - Re Round 2
stavanzer replied to iwantmodels's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Round2 would do well to start the Falcon revival with the '64 Falcon kit. It looks to cover all the bases with Rally, Stock and a mild custom. Of Course it is missing the later Gasser Front Axle Parts, but those might be able to be included. https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1330/1964-ford-falcon-sprint-hardtop To my Eyes, the '68/69 Falcon looks like a completely different kit, but I am no expert on Fords. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1961-1970/amt-1969-ford-falcon/jojo0310.html https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1253/amt-1968-ford-falcon -
The Wheels & Tires, the Matching Steering Wheel, the Hood "Eye" vent fillers and the Grille are all bad, really. The Only Custom part I really like is the Front Bumper with the built in driving lights. As I said the 1960 Pick Up kit is great, but I remember piles of these at Big Lots and K-Mart the first time this custom came out. So, while I applaud the Gorgeous Box Art, the kit contents are still not great.

Sure Looks Sharp. You just don't see Tri-Tone paint very often. Good Show!

Veery Nice Build! The Dark Maroon is a great choice. Good Show.

The Colour really makes it "Pop"! You nailed the 1970's Beach Vibe! Good Show.
