Picked this up today and do not remember ever seeing a small rear window Beatle before,the front suspension has been glued in wrong and broken and is there a kit I could use for the front suspension and other missing parts.

I have a unbuilt Monogram 34 Ford coupe/convertible kit that I want to build as a late 40s style hotrod and use all mid 60s parts,picked up a 40 p/u from that era that will donate the rims and hub caps and now to find a hopped up flathead from that era and it will start. The 40 p/u will not be destroyed and would like to find all unused parts but used parts will have to do.

Starting to look like a Falcon under the hood,the shock towers I used are not the most detailed but to me looks much better. Next is the core support.

I had one but traded it for parts I needed to finish a build.

Last week I was given a six from a Johan Maverick that would be perfect for the 60 Ranchero so I got,now this week I was given some Chevy sixes so time for more. Two look to be from the 60 Chevy p/u and one is from the 50 p/u and the other looks to be from a 53/54 Corvette. The incomplete 60 engine will be going in a SMP 60 ElCamino that I will be using a 59 chassis and since the hood does not open it will be perfect,the other 60 engine will be going in a Revell 57 Black widow kit to make the cheapest 57 Chevy and the Corvette engine will be going in a 39 Chevy sedan delivery I built years ago. If this keeps up I will have projects that will go on after I retire.

Thanks and will look for a 67 junker to rob the parts off of,anything is better then what I have now. The first two 60s I built I did not care but now would like to make a little more accurate.

Since I am putting a straight six in it I would like to put a more correct firewall and shock towers in it so is there a Mustang that could be a good donor.

That kit should of had a six or a optional 260 or 289 and not what it came with.

Yes iIwill be there and just what kit could of had this engine as I would like to find more.

Picked up a small car Ford six so I had to get the Ranchero,I was hoping when this kit came back out it would had a more correct engine but it did not so I am going to build it the way it should be.

Its on,really wanted the George Montgomery version but beggars cant be choosey. If it has the stock hub caps I will be very happy.

This sickness includes real cars too,I have many parts that I am looking for cars to put them on.

Picked up this Ford six so time to find a Falcon Ranchero to put it in,right now I am at a car show so on the way home there is a hobby shop that usually has them. I need to quit doing this since I have years of future projects.

Not going to trash it but it really disappointed me.

Back in tbe early 80s I built a larger scale 69 Charger that on the box was supposed to be a Dukes of Hazard car so I was expecting a stock Charger with a roll cage but ended up being a race car and was very disappointed but still built it. When I find it in the attic its going to be thrown in the trash.

Now to find a unbuilt kit.

I want it the same color and it will look very similar.

Never built one to match the box art so time to do it so I want to build this one so has anyone done it and what blue will work. My version will have the dropped axle and no trim rings with big and littles and a Y block under the hood.

I just got this 67 Galaxie convertible today,looks like I will have to find a rear bumper and boot.

I also have found a hood for the Dodge too,this winter they will get restored.

Found a hood for the Plymouth.

The bumpers look like they were never installed.

In with the models from the thrift store was a box with some parts and the Imperial bumpers were in it along with a 61 Comet front bumper and grill so it looks like I have two more to find that.have missing parts.

I need to find hoods for both so who made them.

I will try to save all of them but need parts,since I have a couple stock 57 T birds this one will be built as a gasser with a 427 SOHC. This is the oldest batch he has found.
