Very cool!

Thanks! I've also come to appreciate the quirkiness of the AMC design, and have a Javelin and a Gremlin planned for future builds. I would have done the same, except I'm keeping my collection to 1/24~1/25 as much as possible so I can do silly things like this...

This is AMT's snap kit with Joseph's wheels, they may be a little big for the TV version but work perfectly for a "movie" car:

Thanks, guys!

That looks great, nice work!

I've also been hoping someone would make a set, I have a pickup that could use 'em.

Thanks, guys! Dave, nice work on that Mirthmobile!

Nice save! I had one of these years back, it was a fun little kit.

That looks fantastic, nice work!

Thanks guys! Here are a couple more pics I shot this morning. Yes, it was the only way I could figure out how to get that 70s-tastic pattern I drew up all the decals for this build. The white stripes were printed by Joseph at Fireball Modelworks, and I printed the black stripes and the seats myself. I made one big pattern and cut the individual panels from that. The seats were painted white where I wanted the pattern to show up, so I could cut the decals a little large and have any overlap completely disappear against the black.

This was just a quick upgrade to a Jo-Han promo. The paint was in pretty good shape, but the chrome was badly roughed up. So I cleaned & polished the body, redid the trim (and added what was missing) with BMF, swapped wheels & seats with some from my parts box, gave it clear headlight lenses, and did some paint & decal work:

That's pretty cool, I'm not always a fan of the classic "Kustoms" but this one works for me!

You've done some incredible work on a very tough kit - nice job!

That looks great, love the themed graphics you've added!

I have this kit, I'll check tonight and send you a scan.

RMCM == Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland

Looks great, nice work!

Nicely done, I always liked these Buicks!

I haven't tried that exact combo, but I have done the 69-to-70 conversion and found out that it's not just a straight parts swap (also, stay away from the AMT F&F kit unless you want to do some major correction work). The front fenders on the 70 Charger were taller and wider at the front to accept the updated grille/bumper. It can definitely be done, but be prepared to do some cutting, bending, and filling.

Thanks all for the suggestions! I found out that RMCM makes them, based off of the 1970 Blazer/Jimmy kits. I have a set ordered, and they should be here in a few weeks. Greg, I'm putting them on the SBC that will be powering my Deuce of Spades '32 Ford...so they'll be right out in the open. That's why I wanted to make sure I got the right ones.

That looks great, nice work! Is the head rest a kit part or scratch built?

Just got a new one, 1/24 scale from Triple Fighter (Ultraman spin-off):

Kit? Resin aftermarket? Diecast car? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Great job on a rough kit, that turned out fantastic!

Thanks, guys! Yeah, but the trick is trying to get a picture of it!
