He has those awesome Hurst wheel/tire combo that I might have to order The sidewall could be a little smaller, just something with a more modern street tread pattern. The kit wheels look like what came on them in '69.

I got this the moment I began modeling. Chasing them down is part of the fun!

I think this is a great improvement, I have definitely noticed that it is faster. Thank you.

I would be interested in joining a 2019 TAT.

Totally makes sense, Luc. I agree, the licensing part can be a hassle, though it is necessary.

Thank you! Thanks, David. I enjoyed that build a lot.

On the topic of the younger audience, that is me, I am only 22. I have been modeling for just over 2 years (2 years exactly in November, as it's when I built my first AMT 67 Chevelle.) As a modeler I am interested in mostly everything. I have tractor/trailers, high-end sports cars, muscle cars, malaise-era vehicles, 2wd show trucks, 4wd mud toys, daily drivers, oddball stuff. But I do wish there was more late-model muscle available. I know Revell and Round 2 make newer Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers but they seem very bland. I wish the late model kits included more options or ways to build, rather than stock. In 1:1 I really enjoy those cars, but in scale they do little for me. I also wish they would do more late-model stuff in general. BeeMax (I think) made a rally version of the Chevy Cruze, Hasegawa made a Hyundai Azera, Fujimi/Tamiya make modern cars frequently. I think there is a big disconnect between whats hot and whats not. And please please please we need more late-model pickups. I would buy each kit. I 100% love the reissues though since I did not have the chance to get them when they first came out or even the times they were reissued until now. It offers a young modeler like me to catch up and obtain some cool kits without paying the eBay prices of an older kit. This forum is great, I've been here for 2 years and have learned so much. The older folks offer so much wisdom and knowledge on kits that I have no clue about. And even those who are not much older than I am, they still have built for longer than me and offer just as much also. But "kids" are going to be the future. I think muscle cars will interest them still for many many years to come.

That is a good thought, I'll have to give that a look. Kit wheels are 15". But thank you for the reference to those kits, I'll keep that in mind if I find some larger steel wheels.

Cool. Nice to see someone else doing a 4wd conversion.

How do you like the wheels/tires from Scenes Unlimited? Those were the set I have ordered as well!

Jeff will sell you the grille I posted above for $10 so you wouldn't have to buy the whole thing.

They say it rode like a car instead of a truck so it was a nice comfy ride in a conversion van. Supposedly they are pretty durable also!

That beverage trailer looks awesome. I love it!

All great builds.

Stunning!

Nicely done! The Z/32 is great.

The hauler is my favorite as well.

MoPar or no car! Great work.

That Willys is super nice. All of them are!

Thanks, Bruce! It's a good skill to learn. Thank you! This was a tricky build, it was the AMT version with the roof separate from the body. I'd like to get another though. GREAT movie also! Thank ya, Bob! Thank you kindly, David. I agree, the used and abused look fits them well. Thank you, Donald. The F100 is my favorite kit i've built to date. I hope your 2019 is great as well. Thank you, Sam! It is a tough kit, there is something about them old Revell kits. I enjoy a challenge. Thanks, Pete. It is a tricky kit. The plastic in this issue was also really brittle.

This would be nice to have, I agree.

Casey, thank you! I am doing a 4wd conversion to a Vemco V-Drive system by Dana. Looks like that 68 Hemi Dart has the closest to a Dana 60 I can get. Since that is what they put under the 1-ton vans equipped with V-Drive I believe.

Anyone know a kit that would have the GM 14 bolt that would be appropriate for 1 ton vans? Sounds like maybe the Deserter has it. Any input?

Thank you!

Looks like a nice piece there. The white resin almost makes it look like it came from a kit.
