Just looked at the FB site, it's exactly the same $399 for 3rd party hosting.NO CHANGES THAT I CAN SEE> They might have a cheaper deal for low usage, but i didn't see it. Guess you guys lucked out, NONE OF MY PICTURES HAVE BEEN RESTORED, money is still the same rip off? Don't know what you guys are talking about.

HHHmmmmmm... Looked at The HAMB where I had a lot of pictures, same thing as before, nothing has returned. Same BS about 3rd party hosting . I don't get why some would work and some not. Those jerks ruined several history threads I created, they are STILL RUINED!!!

I have hundreds of kits, that's not the point I was trying to make. 3d printing is great, a real step forward. But again, beside my point. How much longer will people be interested in 57 Chevy's and Camaros. NOT the die hards.Already these caes are antiques really, 50-7- years old. THAT'S OLD! Just bs'n , nothing to get shook up about..

We saw a second golden age in the 90's as we boomers got more disposable income and retuened to models. A smaller third age with Moebius, Polar Lights etc. Now we seem to only have ancient re issues from Round 2 ( more like Round 5 ), and others with new tools few and far behind. Now Hobbico and Revell is bankrupt, I imagine Revell will continue with reissues , but how many new tools? Seems like a twilight of sorts, even the aftermarket is fading. Now I'm not griping or being a naysayer at all! BUT all thinks must end. Thoughts?

Very good work, looks the B/A part, you GET the concept!

Nice and different. A cool build.

Cool stuff!

About to start on my own 34 altered. Look forward to this build!

I was thinking of the resin hood in the early re issues, a larger hood could be turned down I would think.As I said the side panels would bd be easy. This hood would look kind of odd. Can the OP ( or somebody ) estimate how much longer a stock 29 hood would have to be?

Still deciding, thanks for the input.Trouble is, I have almost no room for multiple projects.

A suggestion for somebody with both the Orange Crate and the 29 kits, try the Crate Hood. Have no idea if it was stretched, but looks like it might have been. Side panels would be the easy part.

I'm trying to actually plan out what I'm going to do ( drawing plans if I need to ), and BUILD AGAIN for the first time in years. So HELP! I build drag cars: AMT original 40 Ford coupe, ala 1960-62, with Revell Pontian from the M/T Challenger, including chain drive, hydro from the parts pack, quick change rear, cleaned up chassis, semi gutted interior. As a gas class / altered coupe of the period. OR The AMT/Lindberg 34 Ford Pickup as an altered, small block with Hillborns, center steer, MAYBE chopped, stock frame but drilled, new crossmembers, Hydro, Old rear. Alternate engine for either, Revell Buick nailhead from Nancy kits, blown with the chain drive. HELP ME DECIDE! POST YOUR EXAMPLES! Move this IF you must!

I agree.Yeah, nobody is making anybody read the thread.That's obvious, don't know what the point of saying that is.We CAN have different points of views you know. Seems like the negative gloomy view is always popular, unless you think modeling is just OVER as a hobby, I don't get that.

Scott is kind of a nut, he's been talking about the car and blah blah blah for YEARS, like DECADES years.The car is long gone, the model is long gone and Steve Scott is kind of , well despised and pitied in the real hot rod world. Consensus is he's just full of.......something.

I think there's a lot of wienerschnitzel being slung here. If Revell Germany is going to stay in the plastic model business, why wouldn't they just produce from the molds they just purchased? AMT models, Lindberg models, even old Hawk models are still being made, even though the parent company went belly up. Companies fail for many reasons, mostly from poor management, not lack of sales. I think we will see Revell models back on the shelves AND new tools before long. Maybe higher prices, but not much. Modelers DO love drama!

Looks good. Nice to see altereds being done, some of the coolest drag cars ever.

Oh, I see. You are one of the very very few who know that i guess.

The magneto is on the front of a Ford engine, not the back. Google is good!

NICE! A true, accurate REPLICA.

OK then, back to the drawing board.

Thanks man, I do appreciate that!

Model Car World, just Google MCW model cars., It's top notch stuff. I don't think Dodge owns it anymore, I could be wrong. STILL, my experience was a good one, resin like kit plastic, no faults at all.

WOW! Thanks, I see several things need. Who has done business with VCG Resins? are they good? Are they even still around, the site hasn't been updated since 2014! The email link doesn't work. Any alternatives? Looks like they bit the dust to me!!!!

Looking for a flat stock hood and a photo etched grille! Any body make them or ever made them. Having no luck. THANKS!!!
