I was talking about the model of Bud's roadster he built in an article on model cars he did in Street Rodder. Pat also built a replica of the Graffiti coupe.

I know you meant vertically. Very nice job on a very worthy subject. I've always loved Bud Bryan's highboy has always been a favorite of mine. Ever see Pat Ganahl's scale rendition from Street Rodder around 73-74 or so?

Man the bar on this thread just keeps raising. There's some great builds here.

This is probably the coolest one I've seen yet.

I would be totally in. Would be a great seller.

Mark is correct (as almost always) there was never a custom hood in the AMT 57 Ford kit. There was a custom styling front end extension that created that effect. You may have "worked hard" on your 'review' but if you present incorrect and or untrue information (as you regularly do) you should expect and accept correction gracefully.

That's a Desoto bumper/grille. Edsel grills are a vertical horse collar shape.

Add 49 Mercury to that list. Plus I think the Avanti and 300SL? MPC produced but AMT boxed 28 A Sedan as well. 58 Impala, 59 El Camino and 55 Nomad.

Didn't Lindberg end up with the Pyro tools? That would mean Round2 could reissue the brass series.

Round2 should have the tool.

Gorgeous! Day 2 engine mods are icing on the cake!

Love them both, but that closed cab pickup really spins my wheels. Superb job on both of them!

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for those changes to happen. Maybe the retooled Vicky goodies.

Excellent.

Can't say much that wasn't said above, but there is nothing like the rumble and vibration of an uncorked big block. Rat On, George.

If the 34 has the Original hubcaps retooled and original box art and decals I'm in.

Didn't touch the spear. I originally built it almost 30 years ago as a pro street. 10 years ago I swapped out the suspension and engine, cut off the front bumper and made it a gasser. Still with same paint.

All the Villa Riviera parts have always been present (except maybe for the 70s Barris version) since the beginning. The only real alteration was widening the wire wheels.

I wish they would reissue the Lowrider version or better yet...

Love the flip nose 57 also. This one has the rear wheel wells from the AMT 57 grafted in...

Nice mash-up of the best of the Model kit parts. I like it.

Here is the Revell tire (left) and AMT tire side by side. Identical except for size. Plus Im pretty sure AMT only made that tire in one size.

I always love your builds. Superb work as usual!

Tampo printed white lettered tires and what appears to be the nice American mags from the 67 Charger kit. http://www.collectormodel.com/round2-models/4373-kat-chat-totally-tubular-tires/#sthash.8ExQRfHq.hTYB9iFN.dpbs

Best looking Monogram 56 build I've ever seen.
