    No. The roadster lost them with the 1964 issue to make room for new parts. The coupe lost them with the Street Rods issue for the same reason. However, the most recent issues of the coupe do have the front cycle fender mounting brackets.

    I think you would glue the sub assemblies (engines, for example) together and then mix and match as you saw fit to see how you wanted it. Other than the odd proportions and the molded in chassis AMT really had it going on with those kits. They are still my faves to play with.

    It was an Indian symbol of good fortune. Dates back to around 500 bc.

    Pretty impressive 24 build, Tom. I built a Woody Wagon clone from one of those a couple of years ago and took me 3 weeks. And that was mostly out of the box. BTW the engine in the Woody wagon has never changed in length. The only change to the rear axle is the ends where the wheels mount. Anyway, cool build.

    What's the release date?
  6. Dave Darby
    That is way cool.

    I remember those old dog tracking Novas well. And yes that is a Pontiac engine, left over from when that tool produced a Ventura.
  8. Dave Darby
    I agree. Steve hit that one right out of the park.

    The 40 Ford coupe kit has a very nice set of Keystone Kustomags, which are nearly identical to the Klassics. The ones in the 57 Chevy are decent. I also have a deep dish pair at home that I think are MPC. Not sure. Will take a pic and post after work.

    That's what I was going to say.

    I love this thing. If you have Facebook it would be more than welcome on the Scale Survivors page.

    Outstanding!

    I can find a lot to like about that build. Very cool.

    I don't have an orange hood, but on the subject of hoods, the 73-76 Dodge Darts used the 69 Barracuda hood, along with 67-69 Dart front fenders. And just like on the real cars, the MPC Dart and Barracuda hoods interchange pretty nicely.

    Just vintage box art. When they reissued the 67 Charger it had the other cars from the series shown too. (Like the Streaker Vette). But they haven't been reissued - yet.
  17. Dave Darby
    I wasn't questioning it. I said I like it. Sometimes more than the more common 67 hood. I wish the 65-66 hood was easier to find in 1/25th scale.
  18. Dave Darby
    Oh lawdy that's nice!
  19. Dave Darby
    I like the 66 big block hood on there. One sharp Vette.

    Love all of those Revell 1/25 Snap kits. I wish they'd pop some more of the 57 Chevys and 63 Vettes back out.

    No worries. It looks great. You did a super nice job on it. Beautiful paint work. Here's the box art I did the build for. I wish they would have had Molotow markers back in 1994.
  22. Dave Darby
    Super duper nice. Looks pretty close to the color I painted the box art build for the 1994 issue. Like Espo said, the grilles (on all the 53 Ford trucks) were painted white. That aside, yours is one of the nicer builds of this one I've seen.
  23. Dave Darby
    Nice build and love the outdoor photography.

    Awesome! I almost bought a copy last night too. Now I'll have to go grab one. Thanks for the heads up!

    I built the Pyro Renault Town Car back when I was around 11 or so. From my memories it was a pretty nice kit. I wonder if Round 2 has the tools for these. I believe Lindberg ended up with the Pyro tools IIRC.
