    So it looks like this is the 65, has the fuel injected emblems and the wheels are the same as Toms coupe! Thanks for all the info guys! Here are a couple pic after I’ve been working on stripping the very heavy green paint that was on it, I almost have it all off!

    That is a nice looking promo! That does look like the color of mine, that has the same wheels also. When I get home I’m going to see if it had the girlie badges so I have a correct year and start looking for parts!

    Awesome! Thanks guys! I really appreciate all the help!

    Thanks guys! It is definitely not a 63 or 64 as the side vents are 3 vertical indentations. The 65 and 66 both have this and I didn't know if there were any other ways to tell them apart. Mark I will check for the fuel injection emblems on the fenders. Also I think pretty much I could use any bumpers but would need a specific grille and does anyone know if the interiors have a lot of differences? I want to "restore" this as the body is in really good shape but I don't think I will find original parts to easy!

    Hey guys at a model show this past weekend I picked up a 65 or 66 Corvette roadster that I thought was a built kit, it was heavily painted in metallic green, the chassis was red. It had no glass or interior. As it was $3 I grabbed it! So when I got it home I noticed it had a promo chassis. I took the body off and dunked it in stripper. I originally thought the hood was glued shut but it was molded in and the body is molded in red also. This did not have any bumpers or grille either. So I’m guessing this is a promo but I wanted to see if any one new what year this is, I looked a little online but all I found was a black 65 promo. I would post pics but it’s still in the stripper, Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

    Thank you guys! Great info Mark! I will definitely check out your suggestions! Alan thanks for the link, I usually hit ebay for the parts guys when looking to complete and original factory stock car but never thought about doing it for a funny car chassis! For that price I went ahead and got it, looks like a lot of the same parts adn that's a pretty good deal!

    I just picked up a built up/parts kit of the MPC Dick Harrell F/C, something I have been looking for for a long time. I remember my older brother letting me "help" him with this kit and how I thought it was the coolest thing! The first thing is the original body molded to look like fiberglass on the inside? The parts are molded in red but the "tin" work for the interior is molded in white. Also is there any other more readily available kits that use the same frame and suspension parts? They are there but are in pretty rough shape and it would be great to have clean parts! Would the Polar Lights chassis be correct for that era F/C?

    I saw the prototype/test at the Detroit show and the taillights look like the did some work on them but not sure, they looked good to me! They also did some work on the grille and they said it will have clear headlights! They tooled up some dog dish hubcaps as well!

    That is cool! Excellent work!
  13. fordf-100
    Nice! Looks great!

    Thanks Pierre, I have seen your builds and I would definitely consider you an expert!

    Hi all, this is the Moebius Hudson Hornet Tim Flock kit. I have only built a few NASCAR models and really like the vintage subjects and hope they come out with more! I really liked this kit and thought it went together well. I couldn’t find the correct blue so I got close, it’s a little lighter but I think it looks ok! I made a couple mistakes such as putting 2 of the pure lube decals in the wrong place and I didn’t remove the backup light moldings from the rear, the instructions recommend to do so but overall I am very happy how it turned out! Comments always welcome!

    Thanks for the kind comments! I really enjoy doing this kind of stuff and hopefully my skills will improve along the way!

    I have a question with the notifications here. When I post a topic sometimes I get notifications that someone reacted to a post. When I click on the notification it takes me to my post but there is nothing from the user who reacted to the post. My question is what am I doing wrong that I cant see what they reacted to? Is there something else I should be opening up and looking at? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi all, this is a “phantom” what if 77 Monte Carlo. This started from another project that I wanted the roof for and I didn’t really want to toss the rest of the body so I figured I would use a Johan Cutlass roof from a lightly damaged promo. That was my first mistake! After I had the roof molded on I thought it would look cool with the vent style side windows on the Chevelle nascar kit so I dug up one of those and instead of replacing the whole roof I thought “I’ll just cut out the side windows” Nothing like making a lot more work for myself! I also added some IROC Camaro hood louvers. I was going for a factory prototype style that Chevy may have built. Overall I like the way it turned out even though my bodywork and scratchbuilding skills are no where near what is on this forum. Comments always welcome!

    Looks great! Nice touch with the color matching hubcaps!

    Thanks guys! Espo yes I did repaint it, this was the preprinted version black with flames and those flames gave me some trouble trying to remove them so I sanded them off and the caused the primer to really fish eye so I ended up stripping the primer and trying to clean off what ever residue I didn’t get off.

    Hi all, I recently finished this Revell snap kit. I picked this up for a couple bucks at an antique mall, took it apart a quick repaint and changed the wheels. A nice quick project! Let me know what you think, comments always welcome!
