    I was thinking the same thing...and boy did it ever POP! Real nice!

    Absolutely beautiful work. As everyone said, the stance is perfect. I think these would have sold as real vehicles... of course Olds wouldn’t have decked it out as nicely as you did!

    Nice. Very good job on weathering that body!

    The problem with most buckets is that they may be reclined too much to fit a small cab. They may have to be slit and modified to a more upright position?

    Saw this today at Giant Tiger. I passed on it since I’m not really into die casts...but after finding this thread, I might go back and get it.

    I am going to replace the pan. It’s pretty much the only part seen so I am OK with the rest of it.
  7. NOBLNG
    Here it is. The pan is not the best, but with some minor work it will look great. Has Anyone added dipstick tubes?

    Wow, this is an old thread. But since it was brought up...I just picked up this MPC ‘86 El Camino. It looks to have a pretty decent 305 and turbo 350. It even includes a heat riser duct and a mechanical fuel pump.

    I like it with NO bikini. ?

    I agree. If the pics aren’t there I may quickly scroll through it to see if there are any in the replies. If not, I will usually just hit the back button. I know...the info is still there but it’s sad that all that good info is diminished or useless without the pics.

    That is just too neat and tidy for me.? I made a little chart that lists my stock and clipped it to the light right above my bench. I color coded them so I know to look for evergreen or plastruct. At least I can tell whether to go searching or not.
  12. NOBLNG
    That is what I do too.

    I made a set of frame rails for an upcoming project and cast myself a copy of a Chevy engine and trans.

    Cool project! I like it.?

    The tires are very nice, and so are the rims...but they should really only be 5 lug.
  16. NOBLNG
    Definitely! This is a shot of the TH 350 in the El Camino kit. I think it looks better than the deserter one too.
  17. NOBLNG
    I do like that colour!?
  18. NOBLNG
    It looks like it was just placed there for the photo and not properly settled in.

    I made a couple of nice 2-piece molds today for some engine parts. As I began to pour the second half, I suddenly realized that I forgot to spray it with mold release. I now have one solid block of silicone with my parts inside.?

    It looks like a nice engine to me. Whoever took the photo just didn’t bother to blow the dust off it after cleanup.

    Thanks Mark! A local shop here has an MPC ‘86 El Camino. I checked out HPIGuys review on YouTube and it definitely has a TH350. It also has a really nice looking 305 and some nice wheels and tires. I will pick it up on Monday.?
  22. NOBLNG
    As far as I can tell from searching on here the only kit that for sure comes with a TH-350 automatic is the MPC 1980 Monte Carlo. Alas, none of my local hobby shops have one in stock. Are there any other kits that have one? Thanks.
  23. NOBLNG
    It’s too bad Revell didn’t make this a full detail kit or include a full top.? That said it is a nice little kit.
  24. NOBLNG
    Too bad that wouldn’t work for the thin CA. ?
  25. NOBLNG
    And any glue will make a mess at that point, especially the old tube glue.?
