    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!

    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!

    Hi all, a friend from my model club picked up an AMT Graveyard Ghoul duo issue of the Munster Coach and the Dragula and he was asking about the boxes, one has the T number followed by the price and the other one just has the T number with no price. I thought that the one with the price would have been earlier but was not totally sure, anybody have an idea? Also what was the first time these were issued? Were they issued separate or together at first and if separate what was the first time they were issued together? Any help would be great and as always Thanks in advance!!!!

    Yeah that makes sense, i have seen another Challenger 1 that was in California in a magazine but they could be the same car and they moved it to Florida, that was really cool to see and I need to find the kit, I built one years ago and I don’t think I can take it apart, it was a tough build!

    My wife and I were in Florida this past week visiting a friend and she got us tickets for the track tour of Daytona. Afterwards we went to the racing museum they have and it was pretty cool! This may have been posted before but I couldn’t find it, it was a small museum but a lot of cool stuff, I was surprised at what was there especially the Challenger 1 and the Blue Bird special. I assumed the Blue Bird was a recreation but not sure it looked really nice! If anyone has any info/ comments please let me know!

    Hi all, this is the AMT Der Beetle Bus kit, I picked up a couple of these at Ollies cause they were pretty cheap! This was really a pretty fun build and I thought it looked good! Let me know what you guys think!

    That looks fantastic!

    That looks great and I really like the paint job!

    This is a custom 60 Chevy I just finished up, this is the stock issue that was two tone silver and grey on the box. I believe this was from 2002 or so. This was painted shortly after that as I got some duplicolor color changing paint and had to try it out on something! That’s one of the things that I don’t like about this build is I was going for an early 60’s style street custom and the paint doesn’t fit the time. This was a decent kit to build but I had some issues with the frame being slightly warped, other than that I am pretty happy with it! Comments and critiques always welcome!
