Between these and the new Ford Wrecker Kit, Moebuis will be getting my Model Budget for the next couple months.

And Here is the Build Video.

I think the Stock-ish Paint job works against the Custom Parts on this build. HPI Guy does his usual decent job, but this needed a Monochrome Paint Job to pull off the Custom parts. The Resto-Rod look on this kit just looks confused.

Man, I need that Wrecker. about 3 of them, in fact.

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.

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.

Wow! What a piece of work. This is a real Model, not Shake-and-Bake. Can't wait to see how it looks when finished. Alan

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.

Awesome Pair of Super Stocks! Great Ford! Good Show.

I like it all, but I'm a fan of the Triple Carbs, rather than the scoop. Other than that, though, Model On!

Looking Good there Car 385. Good Show.

What a Unique Build! Good Show.

Awesome Build! A rolling Chassis is always a work of art. Good Show.

Just Superb re-styling of what was a pretty grody custom. As others have said, it looks like a factory design study now. Good Show.

Yeah, I'm getting real slow loading of pages today. Everything seems to 'hang' before loading.

I think this will be done by Somebody other than Round2/AMT. But, It will get done sometime.

Joe, here is what Scalemates says. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/renwal-152-99-1930-packard-victoria--324171 https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/1/7/1/324171-63-instructions.pdf It appears to be a Packard Victoria Model 745, body by Dietrich

Wow! What Terrific Building Skills!

Looks Great. Keep up the Good Work!

Better than putting a '32 Grille on Everything.

It is IMHO, a pretty lame set up, and all the more dated now. The truck would have looked better with a more Classic Hot Rod Look (Skirts, Multi Carbs, Different wheels) than the Billet, 1990's look it now has. But, I'm glad to see it anyway, as I like the 1960 Chevy Truck.
