Do any of you know why the Neon has little wires embedded in the rear windows? It's so the people pushing them can keep their hands warm.

Come on guys, counting rivets here are we ?

That's what I'm talking about Rob. I'm thinkn' a Monogram '56 with a 396 BIG block.

Gotcha. and I got both kits to build a better mouse (Rat) trap.

That's it Casey,you hit the nail on the head.

I'm confused. What do you mean "The Chevelle was "backdated" to the 1970." "There was never an AMT issue of the Red Alert in 1970 trim. " ? You seem to be talking about two different things here.

I guess, with reissues, there in lies the problem, the original could be vintage, a reissue could be vintage, if it is old enough.

Ok, '49 for street rods, what year for Vintage kits ?Gray Beard sez: "No it's a '50."

Why? I was wondering How ?

They just don't make 'em like the used to, do they ?

Speeking of words (again) , it's funny how the meanings of words are different for different people. I've always been a little uneasy using the term "Classic" to describe anything newer than what the Classic Car Club says. Just what I was brought up with. Guess my vintage shows. Oh yeah, Harry, That's Speeking about sarcasm Just doesn't seem like a "Classic". The car either.

. . . and let's not forget the 1949 cut off for Street Rods.

I've never seen the '70 AMT version. Do you have any pictures? http://www.chevyhardcore.com/news/spotlight-bob-hamiltons-red-alert-70-chevelle-ss-454/

The answer doesn't get much simpler than this. Aluminum Model Toys = AMT

Did something happen to this kit ?

Reading this thread my thought is, what's on the shelf right now? What have you seen in the stores?

Or try the Big Boyz http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showforum=5 Of this very board

I guess that's just "the thing" with some of us "kiddies".

How does that go? Something about a sows ear? Great "Build" !
