See my q a few days ago regarding AMT 77 + MPC 79 Chevrolet Nova kitbash. I think think think another Nova like Revell's 69 and sub frame and front end from a Camaro is a way to build a detailed Nova out of MPC's 79 Nova.

Thanks Mark and 1972coronet. //U

Yes, but that project stopped for several reasons that could be summarized in the phrase, I'll continue on this one when the risk of making a mistake is significantly reduced (read stressful time). I'm almost there so I can start building on the 34 again. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/187992-ford-34-a-street-hot-rod-who-did-not-reach-the-finish-line/

My helper, he will be replaced by a brother filed out of aluminum sheet and more precise joints. It's really optional but if it's a project that I spend many many hours on, it makes sense.

QUESTION: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU GLUED THE ENGINE IN PLACE AND THEN FOUND THE DRIVE SHAFT SITTING ON THE BENCH WITH A BIG SMILE ON IT'S FACE? Many times, you are not alone. My consolation is that it is a curbside.

Round2 will soon release AMT's 1976 Chevrolet Nova, Much has been written about that body while MPC's 1979 Chevrolet Nova has its drawbacks. In short, is there anyone who combined these kits ? The MPC body with AMT chassis, interior and grill with headlights.

Build of the year! I really like the raw expression that the slightly matte body gives, race cars were really raw in the past. I accidentally posted my praise in the build thread so I corrected it by posting here.

Revell 54 Chevrolet, MPC's CJ5 Jeep has axe and shovel, the shovel is very nice but the axe is gigantic.

Impressive wood painting. I really like the stance of the car, I’m in a non dropped period.

Have you tried dipping it in water, putting it in a plastic bag and then into the freezer ? Over and over again, if you're lucky, water will get into the joints and the tube glue will crack. I have managed to get the windshield off and get the parts of an engine out of an old kit.

Nice build that I follow as I have one started on the shelf. Incredibly nice cats, we are aiming for one or two Ragdolls in the future.

Incredibly nice, I had to look longer before I believed you that it is AMT's classic kit.

Very balanced, very good.

Nice build, I really like the combination of molded custom and blower.

Screenshot from this thread, ironic that this particular ad pops up. Regardless of the question of value, to build or not, a reasonable stash has value in itself because you never know what will happen and a reasonable stash with some spread stimulates creativity. In short, good buy and disregard the contemporary fixation on value and build or kit bash if you want and need to.

Some weathering and so I finally took the plunge, I'm a fanboy ! ok ok, the tailor sewed, hoppfully a conversation starter.

Great idea, very nice implementation and above all fantastic colors (shade and combination), also nice photos.

On wheels, one thing I learned on this forum is to dare to use different types of glues, thanks to all who contribute. The MPC's axles are very weak so there will be a compromise with support. If I build another one, it will definitely be brass wire in the axles.

Lots of masking and little painting.

How cool is that? I give a big extra plus for the CAR CRAFT sticker. It must have been a wonderful time.

Regardless of the scale, agree that four doors are a winner. The original edition of Revell's Ford Sunliner was a 55a, such a backdating of the the would be something. I am open to building everyone in the series.

Nice build, very nice and this picture was incredible, it would not have been as good with a sedan.

Hi Kurt All your knowledge of is gratefully noted. Ahead of the release, could you not consider writing something a little longer about these pickups ?

Great glass house, glad you're back, I've been keeping my eyes open for updates on your cool project.
