Looking for a driver side headlight piece for a MPC Chevy Monza. The particular kit I have is shown in the picture. However, I know there are several versions of this kit and I would assume any of them would work. Thanks Jim

This kit was much more of a challenge than it should have been. Being a newer kit, I expected it would go together much easier than it did. Should you decide to build one, be aware the chassis on mine sloped downward in the back making it near impossible to connect it the interior tub. After the glue dried in the front, I forced the back end together (best I could) with a large clamp, a piece of styrene, and a lot of glue. Additionally, the wheels do not snap onto the axels as advertised. I had to open the holes on the wheels significantly. Finally, and I know this is my fault, but when you set the engine, make sure it's pressed all the way down on both sides. The top of the engine is so fragile, I was hesitant to really push on it and it came back to bite me later when I discovered the engine was just crooked enough to make it where I had to sand down the side of the brake booster and the radiator hose would never fit. Ultimately, I powered through, and you can see the result. As always, thanks for looking!

Thanks for the kind words and sorry to hear you ran into a roadblock with your tubs. I usually use prescription pill bottles to make mine. -

Thanks, appreciate it. Engine is just what came with the kit. Decal says it’s a High Torque 283 but I have no idea if that is correct. Didn’t include a photo originally cause I really didn’t think it was much to look at but here’s one since you asked about it. Other than being lowered and the aftermarket wheels the truck is OOB. -

Send me your address and I will get the body shown in the picture out to you when I can

If the Drag-U-La hard plastic front tires will work you are welcome to them and the wheels if you want

Anyone out there have a Ford EXP body they don’t need? Just need the body but willing to take a glue bomb (depending) partial or full kit if that’s what you got. The one in the picture is warped beyond my ability to fix. Got some stuff to trade if interested. Thanks Jim

Country Charger built Mad Max Road Warrior style. Little hard to see but interior includes sawed off shotgun against door on passenger side and machete just in front of driver’s seat. Converted to right hand drive. Thanks for looking

Both look great

Thanks for the response. It would have been funny to see the cars your talking about I don’t remember a trend like that here in the US. Sad thing is the 0-60 and top speeds were probably close to the same. The TV car looked cool but by all accounts it was a real dud performance wise.

I know not everyone is going to love my reimagined version of this iconic car but here goes. Modifications include a chin spoiler, pulling the bumpers closer to the body front and back and side-to-side. Also lowered it down significantly. As always thanks for looking.

Picked the combo kit up at a model car show. Had all the pieces for the Drag-U-La and “most” of the pieces for the Munsters Coach. If you pick one up my advice would be to pre-fit as much as you can. Not much fit like it was supposed to without some work and several contact points are either tiny or non-existent. Don’t get me wrong had fun building it and very happy with how it turned out. Just needed a fair amount of modification and engineering to get there. As always thanks for looking.
