  1. RatRod, good info on the lill gasser, Thanks. Also, good info on the pure oil firebird brand as I never knew that they merged into become the Union 76 company. All good stuff and I always like to learn a new thing or two. Thanks.   Jeff 

    And, That firebird picture does look great! 

  2. Wow, talk about reading my mind. A mid 70'S  camaro would be great. I remember in the early 80ies  I had a  ( I think ) basic camaro kit that was not a z28  and it was molded in a tan- beige color. Just cannot remember anything else about it other than that it was your basic berlanneta camaro and I wish we could have it back. Also, I was watching some pro stock racing from 1980 with Reher and Morris with Lee Shepherd and would be great to build one of their camaro's from that period. Thanks.   Jeff 

  3. I can show what I did with that Pacer Wagon.

    Note, the wood-grain is Balsa border & Contact paper insert

    I saw one at the local  Safeway/Thriftway when I was getting ready to build, and duplicated that car

    That's great. I remember the pacer like it was yesterday and that one looks just like the pacer that used to be down the street from me. Thanks for showing this one.    Jeff 

  4. Mooneyzs, you can second that as I truly appreciate and agree with any and all information on a scam artist and that is what I think of when I hear about someone not getting what they have paid for. I am 1000% in agreement with everything that you have stated and you are totally in the right with me. I appreciate anyone who posts there bad experience with buying or doing business with a business, company or a person who does not live up to there end of the deal as it will save a lot of good people a ton of grief.   Thank you.    Jeff 

  5. Thanks Guys I appreciate the information on the General mills and Mpc partnership as I knew a little bit but not this much. I never try to stop learning and when it comes to the car kits, I'm all ears for everything. Again Thank you.     Jeff 

  6. WRONG!!!

    Only The P-L kit has the flashers molded to the grill

    (Both ARE Incorrect, though less so on the AMT 1A version)

    It also has the Bullit tail lights molded to the bumper!!

    The Polar Lights kit should only have the UIpper pair of Strobe flashers

    as The Original Ecto-1 had those, but No lights below

    AMT's kit as 1A should have a Double wide Amber Dash light on the Left side

    Not 2 Identical pieces as offered

     

    Also, smaller detail parts that are separate in the interior of the AMT 1A kit are

    molded in place in the P-L kit!

    I have Both, so I do Know this!!!

    Both bodies have flanges, etc that need to be removed, as well as 

    areas to be filled in to make a Stock Ambulance or Hearse!!

    I have an AMT I started this conversion on

    Preferable to make the car as first seen in Primer gray & black!!!!

     

    And YES, I hope to eventually do some more conversions on the kits, but...............

    I can post some pic's of my kits/Builds if wanted.

    (I have else where here, but can again

     

    Absolutely, please post some pictures. I would love to see them.    Thanks.    Jeff

     I have the Used Car kit, it has a 79-80 mpc camaro in it. Also, Dean Malino did a great article in the April 94 SAE ( I think that is the right issue ) on the kit. This has turned into a really great thread and wish I Knew how to post some pics but just can't seem to figure it out.   Thanks.   Jeff
