Thinking about building the Falcon Ranchero kit again and going to put in a more authentic engine,I thought I read a resin six was made but if I want to go with a V8 I would like to go with one that could be made to look like a 62 221 or a 63 260 so what kit had the best early smallblock.

Thinking about building one again so does the latest versiom have the stock hub caps,I would like to build a stock looking one if possible

I built the Revell 57 Nomad in the late 70s and when I started to rebuild it the plastic got brittle so I ended up using it for parts,even the frame broke.

I am suprised that kit did not come with a six.

Probably did not notice the date,sometimes I start to respond to older postings.

Its been 40 years since I last built that kit and it was not too bad,even though my skills have improved I do not think I would try a older Revell 57 kit and a newer version if they are the same.

Pictures do not show up automatically but can click on them and will appear and I can not post anything,I do have a ancient computer with a outdated operating system and way past due for a new computer so I have to use my phone.

If it was not so far I would do both the spring and fall.

A Rustoleum yellow.

Its finished and tried to make it look like it had a 55 T bird engine installed in 55 and its nosed and decked.

Starting to look like a car.

A couple years ago I used the optional Olds engine from the 40 Ford sedan kit in a coupe that I had since 1974,I did not throw everything out but alot got tossed.

I always have three or four builds going on so I have something to do when glue and paint are drying.

I wish I never threw any out and now will not,I most likely damaged them taking them apart for a rebuild and thought I could never fix them but would try now.

Did not know any better,it was back in 1979.

A wagon version was my first Jap car engine change,took it out of a 4 door and put it in a wagon with no metric tools.

I was talking to a few older modelers a couple years ago and mentioned I wanted to build the rear version of a model and got a funny look,one told me we only build models and not real cars and I almost said I think its about time you come out of the basement and quit playing with toys but walked away.

I built this truck and have been driving it for 21 years,I have a Orange Blossom Special that I would like to build into a copy of mine.

Interior color

Now to find a interior color.

Found a Monogram 4x4 chassis in stock but the frame has a dip in the middle and can be see sticking lower then the body and I do not like that but if I can find a 2wd front suspension I could take the rear suspension from the Monogram frame and make a frame,there is a guy locally who has parts and will see what he has next Saturday and go from there.

I will see what I can find.

Making mine into a C20 and the rear tires I want to use will not fit too good in the rear wheel openings and would like to raise the rear but not when the rear end is molded in the chassis so is there another chassis I can use.

About all my builds have parts from other kits.

it is in color
