  1. It reminds of the time I went to the Plymouth dealer with my cousin in 1973. He had a new Duster 340, and the salesman was bragging about how much better it was than the Pontiac Fire Am!!
  2. A lot of tractor kits, recently. I just grabbed the Heller Ferguson double kit, and will get the Porsche tractor, and this new one. I grew up using farm tractors, so these should be fun builds, for a change of pace!
  3. It looks like several different styling cues on this one!
  4. Tooling around today, I spotted a '67 Camaro SS convertible...with the top down.
  5. Does the Prestige kit have the taillights molded in? I had a Model King black and white box issue, and the lights were molded in. A pretty big pain for me to detail. I hope the new one won't have them molded in.
  6. You might find something similar here: https://www.micromark.com/?ns_md=cpc&ns_sc=AdWords&ns_cn=WK_Brand&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI44qsvsWo4gIVgchkCh0WTALdEAAYASAAEgLU2_D_BwE
  7. A stunning Dodge truck! Great color, too! Makes me wanna paint something green! Well done!
  8. That sounds like a good way to attack this question. however, i may hafta add the years '70 thru '74 to my process of elimination, even tho horsepressure was on the decline. There were still some very cool cars in those years.
  9. Excellent paint, and very crisp detail! Thumbs up, all the way!
  10. I saw a 1st gen Bronco, a '54 BelAir, a couple C4 Vettes, and a '57 Chevy pickup.
  11. I found this one explanation about the different bumper height: https://billstudepage.homestead.com/files/champtruckredo.htm BEFORE: AFTER:
  12. One thing I noticed about the main subject in this thread is the mounting of the front bumper. It seems to be different from most of the pics I found in a GOOGLE search. I did find one with the bumper mounted in this manner: Most of them appear to be dropped down a bit, showing a gap at the top, right under the grille:
  13. You guys keep posing these near-impossible-to-answer questions!! HAHAHA I'm pondering this question. I guess for me, it will end up being in the mid-to-late sixties. In '66, I was 11 years old, and was starting to be very interested in cars and trucks. So, I'll figure it out soon, I hope! LOL
  14. Great looking wheels! What method do you use to bend the plastic rod? Would styrene tube work just as well?
  15. I'll bet plenty cross-rams were installed, after the fact , on these mighty Plymouths!
  16. A little self portrait, there, Steve?
  17. Very nice save!
  18. That's wicked! Great work!
  19. I'm thinkin' the same thing about the '74 Dodge Charger kit!
  20. Yes....yes, I have! Revell '57 Chevy BelAir...with the steerable wheels, opening doors, hood, trunk, and rear windows that went up and down. I was around 13, or so, and ended up flinging it down the hallway. I haven't built a '57 Chevy since, and that was in 1968. I have several in the stash, just in case I get brave, again.
  21. YEP.....Gotta get one, myself!
  22. This issue shows the shorter wheelbase: And then AMT had this 2005:
  23. In Tennessee, that will be yesterday!! LoL
