Looks sharp. I’m hoping to getting around to building that one myself. Are there any pics of the motor , chassis and or interior in either of those magazines? I don’t have much in way of reference photos of the mechanicals of that car.

I’ve had this idea kicking around inside my head for a long time . When the latest reissue of it came out I finally had the extra body for the surgery. Front and rear wheels have been moved forward a scale 6” ish. The chassis is from the Mpc 67 gto from the 80’s just slid forward 6” . Engine is a 396 from the Revell ‘69 Camaro topped with a Speed City intake and short stacks. Headers are modified units from the Monogram ‘66 Malibu . Parts box was raided when needed ( I.e. wheels and tires ) . I really wanted this to be a quick and somewhat easy build so I didn’t bother with any extra detailing like wiring etc. Tamiya yellow rattle can with no clear.

The Vette was a on again off again project, the Manx was just a quick fun build and the El Camino was an idea I finally got around to accomplishing. Happy New Year and here’s to hoping for a fun productive year of building to come in 2024 !

Fabulous! Another great build from you, old friend! I LOVE this retro stuff. I bought several copies of this recently and really should Snake-slap one together sometime soon. Well done and model on!
Thank you Snake! I’m eager to see what you will do with one of these kits. One major thing I’ve come to notice recently is the older I get the more ideas I have but the less time I have.... and that hand just isn’t as steady as it once was..... oh and the eye site 😂

Thank you everyone for the compliments and yes Ron, absolutely time for another! 😁 I’m on this finish ‘em up kick so hopefully more stalled projects to make their way to the finished column. Happy holidays everyone

Massive sigh..... this car has been on and off my bench far too many times for far too many years for various reasons ( mostly fitment issues ) but I’ve finally dragged it across the finish line. It was started as a quick and fun slump buster so I didn’t get carried away with detail, wiring etc. I really just had an idea/vision inspired by those old show car / drag car corvettes I used to see in old Popular Hotrodding and Hot Rod magazines as a kid. Ultimately I just wanted it to look cool sitting on my shelf.

Are you using the bookmark feature ( of Bing or DuckDuckgo ) to just open the modelcarsmag ( or any other ) website or are you actually searching and browsing the target website by using Bing or DuckDuckgo to do the searching?
I just don't quite understand what it is you are doing and I am just trying to create a mental picture of what you are doing.
If you are just using the search engine bookmark feature in order to use as a link to the web site of interest that makes sense. However, you can also save bookmarks in your favourite web browser for the same purpose.
Perhaps we are both saying the same thing just that you see it one way and are calling it an orange and I am seeing it a bit different and calling it an apple. Semantics of language can be confusing at times.
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter much so long as we each can accomplish what we set out to do.
cheers, Graham
I think we’re pretty much saying the same thing. I’m using Bing or DuckDuckGo AS my web browser (instead of any of the googles ) and utilizing they’re bookmarks feature to link me directly to my favorite websites and research sites. For example, I like to do a lot of research on some of my projects ( like my mpc 69 coronet convertible) and have a ton of sites bookmarked using the Bing browser and their bookmark feature so that I can quickly refer back to them if need be without having to search again. When the project is wrapped up I’ll go in and remove a lot of those bookmarks no longer needed. For me it’s just handy . Like you said and I agree, at the end of the day as long as we accomplish what we set out too than it’s all good. Happy building my friend

@GoodbuildNY I don't understand why you are using a search engine to browse the modelcarsmag web site.
I understand the use of Google or Bing or Duck Duck Go search engines to search for specific items on a web site but I have never considered using such a search engine to browse web sites.
What are the advantages?
cheers, Graham
I guess I can’t speak to advantages over another method because I’m not very familiar with the other ways. I utilize the bookmark feature in the search engine ( Bing or DuckDuckGo) which brings me right to the site. This way is just easy to me and with DuckDuckGo it cuts down on a lot of other web issues. Is there an easier way or better way...? probably, IDK . But I have been very fortunate that up until this last update I’ve never had any issues with this site . Advantage? Full disclosure, I’m not much of a tech person.

Thank you Dave for the explanation that a non tech person like myself can understand.... I think lol. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!! FRICKIN’ Google!!

When you say using Bing, do you mean the Microsoft Edge browser?
This is the one I’m referring to, is this the one you’re talking about? I apologize, I’m not much of a tech person

Should be working in all browsers now. Just remember to clear your browser cache.
Thank you Dave for the tip. I appreciate all the work your putting into this. However I just took your advice and did that and tried to use the site with Bing and same issues. Anyone else using Bing or have anymore tips ?

Thanks for your comments but we don't use mobile phones so no apps.
I’m not using my mobile phone,not sure why your assuming that. I’m using an IPad and up until the update I was using Bing which is a search engine. Thankfully the DuckDuckGo APP IS working for me on my iPad . If that wasn’t working my previous method would leave me with a website not working properly ( see my previous post )
-
I’m still having the same issues while trying to use this site with Bing ( no photos loading, can’t reply to topics, etc ) . Luckily I can still use DuckDuckGo as a work around
-
I can’t use the site using Bing , problems being pics don’t load/show , can’t reply to any topic other than one I start , activity is gone and site keeps locking up. I’m using Duckduckgo right now so that I can use the site. This way the only issue is activity is still gone
-
This seems to be the only topic it will allow me to reply to. I’m using Bing but if I try Duck Duck go things seem to be working. Just FYI
-
Also keeps locking up
-
Since the update NO pictures are showing/loading and I can’t reply to topics ( it won’t even allow me to type anything) . Any ideas ? Current form is unusable.

Here’s a couple of the final mock up before paint. I’ve had this idea kicking around inside my head since the 80’s

I’ve decided to hold onto this kit.... I was on the fence about it because I had no vision for this kit but have recently come up with something I’d like to do with it. I’ve got this idea for a salt flat version. Hopefully be starting it soon.

Jeff, I had to go look ( lol ) but yes I do.
