  1. I welcome nostalgia kits . I love the simplicity , and the subject matter that was available when these were new. They are great kits to hand to a kid to get them in the hobby , with lower parts count and many building variations .
  2. And I still don’t see anything that will keep me from buying a half case
  3. We both have the same idea!! ??
  4. Luckily a different rear suspension doesn’t bother me!
  5. I’ll be buying this for the scooter . I can’t recall the Vino being in any of the car kits or even the scooter multi set
  6. Drop me a line and I’ll give you the details .... first ones are shipping out next week!
  7. They could make this kit as perfect as humanly possible and you guys would still find something to complain about . It’s a good kit , might not be perfect , but I can’t name any kit at that price point that is ....
  8. Any market for a factory 4 door bench seat ?? It’s within a few hours of hitting the rubber ??
  9. I’m not a river counter , its a decent enough kit
  10. That’s what I did. I wasn’t waiting for a miracle on HL shelves, so I hit autoworld and grabbed one....
  11. Those repopped old kits help us afford the otherwise unattainable kits we would like to have in our collections ....
  12. Yeah , I’d like to build one too! I need these 69 parts !!!
  13. I hear there’s a resin correct factory stock front seat in the works .... I completely forgot about the MCG 67 photoetch, I think I still have one in a drawer.
  14. Not many kits get lettered tires these days . Round 2 is one of the better ones as far as providing them , but as a general rule , I count on plain blank tires in my kits
  15. Sign me up for 2!!!
  16. Oof , that looks rough . Is the Revell kits shortcomings actually that bad ??
  17. I’ll be finishing it up when I return . Lots of work in this one . And it’s this cars second go around . My wife stomped it a few years ago . The body was in 20-25 pieces .
  18. Working on the engine bay tonight . Can’t Fully connect the heater hoses until final assembly . Starting to look like a car ! Won’t have any progress for the next week, I leave for the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas tomorrow . Trying to get as far ahead as I can , but luckily all of the LEDs and switches will be here when I return so I can get it done and onto the next one .
  19. Got the Trunk lid panel made and fitted, added resin Kicker subs and mirrored panels for the speaker box, finished off with a clear plastic window. It will also be lit up with the blue leds as well. Test fitting everything on a parts body to prevent damage to the actual build.
  20. Not much to report today . Ordered 2.5mm blue leds , micro switches and battery holders last night from the eBay . Took a trip to the hobby store today for some 3mm square and .015 clear sheet to make the trunk sign . Haven’t decided exactly what it’s going to say yet , but I got it all sized up while I figure it out and wait for more supplies . Going to paint a new hood and the speaker panel tonight . Baby steps .....
  21. Modified the donk wheel backs to work with the 3d printed wheels . Set the ride height , still have to trim the lower control arms on the rear to center the wheels in the well . Home stretch is in sight . Need to wrap up final details and work on the lighting for the trunk .
  22. Kandy orange over silver with HOK ice pearl . I basecoated this with a different color and just wasn’t feeling it . Left it outside on my porch for the last year or so . Picked up the pieces when we were spring cleaning and decided to see if I could save a build I had come to hate instead of tossing it . I’m pleasantly surprised with the results so far .
  23. Simply amazing!!
