  1. I'd stay with your original plan, when you swap the scoops out then it's really no longer the old pro. I remember seeing the box art when i was young and it always got my attention, that scoop is the first thing you notice. Someone posted the rules for nhra 1970 but the car wears an ahra decal . Jmo but I'd leave the hood for nostalgic reasons and I think you'll be glad you did in the end. If we all built the same way then the hobby would be boring.
  2. Absolutely! I enjoy restoring/rebuilding old built ups way more than box builds. My problem is i try saving them all if they are old no matter the condition.
  3. Thanks for the words and again i apologize. This board has a great bunch of folks that I'm happy to be part of so if anything ever goes wrong on my end i will make sure it's made right. I look foward to future trades with you as well.
  4. impressive work as usual..
  5. looks to be worth fixing to me.
  6. not a bad idea ?
  7. I also think the scoop is overkill but something about that box art always grabbed my attention. I would build it exactly like you are planning with the black paint. Now i need to get and old pro kit for a donor ?. Great idea and i sure can't wait to see it done.
  8. Yep Income tax and stimulus are driving the prices up.
  9. Thanks Sam and the same goes for me. I've lost count of how many times we have traded... Looking foward to the next one.
  10. i sure hope Dominator changes his mind about doing this.
  11. I was searching around myself and i believe you are correct because while digging through my maverick parts today i noticed i have a standard promo style maverick interior with bench seat.
  12. That turned out extremely well.
  13. That looks great
  14. No it's a maverick grill.. Here is a comet grill vs maverick grill. The grill with no markers is probably from a 70 promo maverick and was swapped onto the johan at some point..
  15. Your comment got me to thinking about the blank grill so i checked my 2 johan rebuilders and this is what i found. 1 with the lamps and 1 blank grill. Both cars are the johan pro stock mavericks "Tinker's Toy" so i wonder why the grills are different?
  16. Very nice job. I watched this car race at my local track years ago.. Great job on your build
  17. Nice save Gary.
  18. oh man now that is cool! You did the right thing just cleaning it up.
  19. I like it
  20. that looks great
  21. Here is mine.
