I would love to find a old sealed kit to build but would no way give that much money for one,I have 3 or 4 opened unbuilt kits that will get built.

The convertible will be built as a 50s hotrod.

This is the one that will become the four cylinder version,going to set it on a in used chassis I have since the front axle is broken.

Change of plans,picked up a 60s built coupe to use for the four cylinder version and the 70s convertible kit will be built as a 50s hotrod.

The more I think about it is I am only going to use the hood sides from this kit and use the rest of the parts I collected to do the build,going to use a Monogram model A engine for the four cylinder.

A few years ago I built one with a AMT kit and since wanted to build one with a Monogram,been collecting 60s and 70s Monogram parts but could not find a complete hood so I picked up a unbuilt 70s convertible kit so it will start. Going to use a coupe top on this build and then will use the rest of the parts I collected with the 70s chassis to build a hotrod convertible with no hood sides.

I think it was a Palmer 1/32 68 Galaxie convertible.

Picked up a unbuilt Monogram 34 Ford convertible kit off eBay,going to take the coupe top from the 60s kit and build a four cylinder coupe version .

Drug this home last year,it's rough and not sure I am going to finish it but has a lot of good parts if I find a better body. Had one for a first car and been wanting another for years,they can still be found reasonable so no sense in spending a bunch of money on this one.

I have one just waiting to be built and it will be of this car,forgot all about this car.

This is a original 62, since it screws togather I will do something about the roof later as I need a new chrome pen for detailing. Trying to match the paint might not be easy.

Picked up these two unbuilt kits yesterday,check out the price on one.

Picked it up built last week,since it had some lettering I did not want to repaint and just repainted the chassis and interior and reassembled. It has some blemishes in the paint but can live with it.

Might take back apart to detail around the windows

Got the thrift 62 apart to freshen it up some, pieced togather a correct Y block but had to add a longer car trans since the chassis had been buggered where the trans attached. Not touching the paint on the body but interior and chassis has been repainted.

Never in my dreams would have thought I would have ended up with all the 60s stuff I picked up over the last year,would liked to know where all this stuff came from before it hit the thrift store.

They have been posted in various threads.

I have a friend who frequents thrift stores and over the last year he has found me over 30 built models from the 60s and with the guy at work giving me some too I will have a lifetime supply of restoration projects,other friends have been giving me the models they have or find so the only money the hobby shops will be getting from me is will be for paint and other supplies. I never thought I would have so many of the older models and I do love doing restorations so I know what I will be doing for years to come.

Somebody must have passed away as these were showing up in a thrift store.

Yes the 64 is molded in blue.

I know the 65 is but what about the 64 and 63

My friend strikes again at the thrift store,the 67 Barracuda box is for the one I got a couple weeks ago and has the missing front bumper. This stuff keeps on coming and will not ever need to buy a new kit and I have plenty to restore now.

Thanks for the info and I should have kept that OHC six I had a few years ago.

Picked this up the other day missing some parts and need to know who made it.

The Barracuda is missing the front bumper and front seats and I have a 69 Kit somewhere so would those parts work.
