Lookin' good so far. One of my favorites too.

I find myself cheating. Building it the way I dream about, not the way it was / is.

Looking at 1:1 sales figures and popularity at showes and on the street, wouldn't it be nice to have a new kit of the notchback/coupe '64-'66 and '67-'68 Mustangs?

Many years ago the "what engine in what car is exceptable?", question came up during one of our monthly Moonlight Modlers Meetings. The vehicle in question was a 1:1 '70's Baracuda. The owner wanted to put a HEMI in it. A 392 early HEMI. No one could get through to this guy. Long on money short on brains. Several meetings later, guess what? He shows up with his early (1950's) 392 HEMI powered 1970's Barcuda. It did fit. It did run. After building this a few meetings later I just placed it on the table. Only one other member got it.

How's this then ?

Then what would go in that olds?

They're everywhere, they're everywhere!

A little off on the price ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aurora-Racing-Scenes-Chrysler-392-FI-Engine-Sealed-1-16-Model-Car-Swap-Meet-/320836199937?_trksid=p5197.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26itu%3DI%252BUA%26otn%3D12%26pmod%3D160722107406%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5931726947788116624

Ubiquitous! You'll see more Chevys in real hot rod deuces. How many Chevys has Revell put into their Deuce kits so far ? It don't get any better than this.

Really ?

#1 None of us will live long enough to build everything in our stash. #2 In the original post on the '57 Nomad kit and the begining of this thread nothing was mentioned about saving a kit for investment. The point being, there are other reasons to NOT build a kit.(See #1) #3 I fall in with Skip. If its a really great kit I like to have more than one. #4 Now there's an idea, more than one so if you really like it you can build more.

It was mentioned in a post below ("57 Nomad) that the rareity of a kit (any kit) may preclude the building of said kit. "I might want to hold onto it" being questioned as to why. My answer, "till later". Untill I hone my skills, untill I decied how I want to build it. untill I do a little research on the kit or the actual car. I think there can be many answers to that question. I have many kits I have "put aside" just to admire them, to look at them ocassionally. I think there can be more than one facet to this hobby. You just want to build kits? Fine, more power to you. I however enjoy the research, gathering of parts, information,kits,and yes, just collecting. So if you must question WHY I might save a certain kit as opposed to build it the minute I get it home, you build your way I'll build, collect, ponder, enjoy, store,horde,open,cut parts from trees, play with, save for a rainy day. etc. etc.

I've never heard of the 1911 Chevy kit, untill a few days ago if it's the same kit we're talking about. Back to the original post, " a kit we are all familliar with like the Honus Wagner base ball card". I think something people want, falls in here somewhere too.I've heard many people speak of the HW base ball card but untill recently no one has brought up the 1911 Chevy. Maybe the Mod Squad Merc would be a better fit. Or maybe something else.

Reading this list, I was immediatley reminded of another board, not so much here.

Why would you think you are not in the top 1% of the board? You made a resposiable reply to a post, unlike many that choose to either hijack or make jokes and take the thread off in another direction. and let's face it, 2 cents in this economy is about all anyone gets. I think a diecast section is needed as well. Thank you for posting.

My intentions are to just use the body and a few interior parta. As you can see the rest is rather crude (toy like).

I got two of these as unassembled kits from Michaels last month.

Disassemble this kit. It has lots of potential. http://maisto.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/up-close-and-personal-with-maistos-new-124th-scale-29-ford-model-a/
