A rare kit I wish they'd bring back

I feel like this would be in Canuck3d wheelhouse and hopefully he will come up with something @Wylde

MPC Datsun Lil hustler

I hogged out the slots on the hinges and that seemed to help. The windshield on mines seems to have to go on top of the cowl for better fit. I'm sure if there was more glass adjustment earlier on, I would've been good. See? It's not too bad at the beginning, but note no glass and no dash. Maybe I had to cut the dash back more. I did glue the interior to the chassis first, seems like the only thing with positive mounts, then I worked forward and rearwards from there -

Any Chance AMT Might Backdate The Dodge Van?
Hondamatic replied to oldcarfan's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Yup, you're right, but the Turtle Wax version wasn't doing it for me, maybe because there wasn't one back in the day? The Cragars look so good too -

Oh man, now I wish I bought that kit.. thats the nice thing about those 70s era MPC kits, they kept using the same few wheels on everything -
Yes! And don't forget the convertibles too! You're almost making me wanna build more 64 Galaxies now! FYI I used the modified stocker version interior and chassis plate for my NASCAR one, but that kit comes with a bunch of the old custom version parts too and just about everything can swap over

So rad, I wonder if Atlantis has these

Looks fantastic, what paint did you use for body color?

I'm kinda hoping these would come back, but Maybe they didn't because the Cragars were lost? Throw some extra mural decals kinda like the Dirty Donny van.. Would be an easy one to make, to help make money for the backdating... ? -
I was gonna do the NASCAR one in black, but it may be too much black with the deleted trim. You may have to get 4 or 5, because a stock black one with red interior and a factory lightweight style one would look good too

Wow, you were actually able to contact them? I keep getting sent around in circles
-
Yeah it's been a couple years since ours sold models I saw a guy selling a started project awb amt galaxie on ebay and I had to copy it
-
I love the hell outta this Oops I commented already

When Walmart had those Ford drag combos, I bought a bunch, so I had a lot of these Galaxies around. As you can see, they can be built in many styles. Maybe a stock one next

I think the dash and the doghouse are different? I would use the clear roof to show off the interior. I'm considering doing an FBI surveillance van myself ? -
Thank you, it's mostly Badman parts haha
-
Thank you, these were before my time so I had to resort to online photos rather than experience. I did forget to "chrome" the diff cover, but any other tricks or "must have mods" back in the day? Photo is a car from Hawaii that inspired my model
