Thanks Roger, it's slow going but I'm getting there. Thanks Rich, great story. From the late 70s-early 90s we would spend a week selling at Fall Carlisle. The good old days.

Beautiful car. One day, I hope I can make my 70 Charger look half as nice as that.

Great looking mopar! I'm watching for sure!

Looks like the front has the perfect spot for a nice big winch. The rear of the frame might be cut off to look close enough. I'm sure it will look good with whatever you do. I'll be watching!

I got a little paint on the chassis and the front & rear ends in. Worked on the interior too, it doesn't look like I'm getting anything accomplished but I am.

Thanks Håkan, I had heard that the kit was wrong but that's ok, it's not going to be anything accurate anyway. I'll be lucky if it's shelf worthy by the time I'm done with it.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna go with the engine out of the Matador kit if I can find one. Thanks Ken. Thanks Steve. I want to go with the engine out of the Matador kit and try to make it something like Roger Sitzes' Shirley Shahan's Hornet engine. I guess that's the way it's heading, we'll see. Thanks Jeff, I'm trying.

Between the weather and not feeling up to sitting at the bench too long I haven't gotten too much done. Some primer, filling & sanding. I have to make the front & rear dash deeper too. But it's something.

I thought this might be something someone here might want to kitbash or use as parts. I like old pickups, Model A & T Fords or whatever. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks.

I had back surgery Wednesday, and last night was the first night I made it through the night without waking up in crazy pain and bothering my poor wife. She's the best, and I don't know what I'd do without her. My whole family is pitching in to help with everything which is great but nothing makes me feel more worthless than having to ask for help. Anyway, I think it's starting to get better.? No walker or cane today so far.?

Mia & Pepper ready to trick or treat a few months ago.

About 15-20 minutes from the original 1969 Woodstock site in NY.☮️

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and compliments. I haven't had much time to do anything more because I've been trying to get things in order around here. I'm going to have surgery on my back on Wednesday, so I'll be out of commission for a while. The good thing is I'll be home for a couple weeks and I should be able to work on this then.

The weather sucks lately and I can't paint, so I started working on the part I hate doing, the interior. I'm trying to push myself to do more than just weathered models so I'm going to try & do a nice interior & paint on this one. I'm using both old & new parts with some scratch building. This is what I've done so far, not much but it's a start.

12 inches of snow.?

Great job so far. I'm kinda partial to these old Fords, my first car was a 65 Fairlane with a 289. Fun car until I wrecked it. Anyway, nice build, great details, I'm watching for sure.

I've been working on this old glue bomb of a 69 Scrambler. It had 3 layers of paint (brushed on) and the thing is so brittle it keeps breaking apart. I'm using an AMT Pro street 66 Nova chassis. I had to lengthen the frame a little to get the wheelbase right. I need to figure out an engine for it, I really don't want to use the Nova engine. Anyway, this is what I have so far.

Great thread! Here's a couple from the eighties. Pretty rough but I'll still keep um just because.

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for lookin guys. Great stories! One quick video I took.

My kids all got together and treated my wife & I to KISS at Madison Square Garden last night for a Christmas gift. I've been a big fan for years and have seen them 5 or 6 times but this is "SUPPOSED TO BE" the end of the tour, we'll see. I have to say it was a GREAT show and a great time but I HATE driving in the city. I'm a New Yorker, born & raised here but not from the city. I'm a little more than 2 hours North. I live on a gravel road in the woods so that City driving kills me. Anyway, there is 1 more show tonight so if anyone is going, enjoy it and I hope it's a blast!

I got this box of goodies from a good friend.

Been working on this old glue bomb of a 69 Scrambler. It had 3 layers of paint (brushed on) and the thing is so brittle it keeps breaking apart. I'm planning on using an AMT Pro street 66 Nova chassis if I can ever get the body fixed.

I finished this one a while back. I hope it's ok to post it here.

Great job! It looks just right. You should add it to this other topic too.
