Thanks Casey. A picture is worth a 1,000 words. And thanks Jantrix: I did not know it was 1/24. And I too will be using the Blue Flame Six from the Revell '53 Corvette.

I am considering the Monogram kit: '39 Chevy coupe street rod. I wonder if it comes with the 'stock' chassis and suspension? Thanks.

I have the MPC '70 Dodge SuperBee kit. I am watching an AMT '70 Dodge SuperBee for sale. I am primarily interested in the chassis and rear suspension. These 2 kits do have different seats, but everything else seems to be the same. I am thinking I should buy it; what do you think? Thanks for reading this. fiatboy.

Thanks for the advice, comments, and photo.

The '71 T-bird sounds interesting; they had some pretty 'outstanding styling'. Always wanted to build a limo!?

I have 2 Monogram NASCAR kits, both with Chevy engines. The valve covers have a 'cover' over the spark-plug areas and ignition wireing. Should the detailing include the wires and boots? Thanks.

I've ordered once, relatively quick delivery, lots of interesting parts like 'turbo charged DOHC 4-cyl. engine. They are good IMO.

Yeah, thanks.

I like the design of a 2 piece wheel so the center can be painted separately. I am interested in wheels/tires that would be authentic for "sports car racers". Also, tall, narrow tires for salt-flat racers.

Toronado. series 1 Corvair.

The aftermarket company in Maryland, "Replicas and Miniatures" has Weber carbs. Part no. P-11A. I guess they can be used as either downdraft or sidedraft. They were $8.00.

I'm primarily interested in the wheels and tires and any new parts in this reissue. Overall, is it an OK kit? Thanks

I have a lot to trade and I am desperate for these. I bought a kit (factory sealed) with bad decals. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, Brian, they did make a model of the Grand National? I wonder how much they go for now? But I think I'll go for the NASCAR version. Thanks.

I just bought the Valvoline Regal online for about $21. Thanks everybody. Jeff

Thanks everybody!

I have an ebay account. Do I go to model car kits? Used and new? Probably somebody out there can steer me ' right'. Thanks

Thanks Ace-gg. I'd prefer the Mountain Dew or the Valvoline. And thanks Skylar for anything you can do.

I don't know exactly what years Buick made this body style. Has to be a Buick. Can anyone recommend a specific kit? Thanks

I agree, Ace-Garage guy. The 330 P4, isn't this the Ferrari the GT40 defeated at LeMans? But, yes, it is still the most beautiful race car ever, even compared to the Lola T 70.

My cousin had a 1980 Regal, beautiful car, and I would like to model it. I am thinking maybe a NASCAR kit. Of course it doesn't have to be a 1980, just one with a similar body style. Also, I'm not exactly sure how to find kits on ebay. I guess go to 'scale model car kits" and then search for this Buick kit. However, if anyone on this forum has a good one to 'trade for', that would be great, I will get it from you. Thanks.

2 beautiful builds. I'm glad you posted the photos; really enjoyed them.

I hate to be a Negative Ninny, but I do believe a Blower Bentley never won a race. But, yes, Bentley dominated Le Mans for the years '28 to '32. But guess what, I just got this same kit from Hobbylinc 3 days ago! And in addition: One of the model car magazines did a build-up of either the 1/12 kit or the 1/124 kit, I forget which one. I do not know if this was helpful but I hope so.

I for one am very interested in your Grand Am body. Was it made for just 1 year? My friend had one. What a beautiful car.

I am buying this kit mail order for $29.00. Have there been any build-ups in any of the model-car magazines of this kit? Is this kit considered to be a difficult build? Any tips?
