BRILLIANT!!!!!!! If keeping dust off your models is the main goal, this is a great idea of reusing something and keeping it out of a landfill, while getting a free salad... Or getting a salad with free display case.😉 Hobby Lobby does sell its 1/24-1/25 cases for $6.99 each. No salad.....🤣

If there was ever a need for an engine cover, this is it.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice. I like your color choice. It is a weird kit but once built is very accurate. I did mine in Dupli-Color Snazzberry to match my 1:1 version

I love it. You even have the correct bend in the hood.

Favorite tv show of all time. Great build. TC's van is great too.

My wife's car and my weekend warrior. Hers is newer, but mine is funnerer. 🤣

Another Texas 3D order to make a Class 11 Beetle

I have to bring this back from the dead. In my recent quest to find a certain model, I stumbled upon this thread. The only thing I can say is, WOW! I looked the pics over and found one giveaway that I was not looking at a real car.

I wanted the CPH version, but this was way cheaper. I have paint, and CPH decals, so the end result will be mine.😀

One of my holy grail kits. I always had intentions of making it box stock since if first came out, but my need to get creative got in the way. Enjoy

I am looking for the Monogram 1/8 scale 1982 Camaro Z28 model kit. I have a 1985 1/8 scale Corvette to trade as a starting point. Prefer a complete kit with decals included. My trade offer that can be sweetened for the right deal can be found here. 1/8 scale 1985 Corvette - Trading Post - Model Cars Magazine Forum Thanks for looking

It was but it accurately described the moment as is.😉

I saw this Model at a flea Market and the idea popped into head instantly. Then I found someone crazy enough to have built the real thing. Jay's Resin Wheels supplied the LSx, tires and wheels. This should be interesting.

Re-issue of the 70s and 80s MPC 4x4 vans, more modern trucks, and cars. Pontiac G8, Cadillac CTS, ATS, Ram trucks, Chevy trucks, Ford trucks, ranger Colorado. When models came out they represented the cars on the road at the time. Seems like only a few modern examples exist. Maybe more younger people would find the hobby if they could relate to the vehicles the model industry produced. Even more 70s, and 80s choices. The 50s, 60s, and muscle car era are covered, but 72-73 up just seems to go ff the rails. Unless you are talking Camaro, firebird, Corvette, or Mustang, you are dead in the water. Only a few modern cars are represented.

Do they have a web site? For those of us who do not do FB, what is the alternative?

I have a Monogram 1/8 1985 Corvette for trade. I have two of the same kits. This one is open for trade. I have inventoried all the parts, and everything is accounted for. Decals and instructions are present too. Body was damaged when I got it, and I fixed both spots. Just needs finish sanding before paint. Glass is good but has rub marks in both pieces that should buff out. All four tires are in good shape, as is the chrome. I am looking to trade for the 1982 1/8 scale Camaro Z28, or the 1/8 scale IROC-Z Camaro. Thanks for looking.

My 87 Grand National was the same way. It was silly for sure.

Challenger R/T Scat Pac. Great daily weather permitting.

Based on all the light housings, this one must be the 1998 Monte Carlo car. I love these cars.

Outstanding.

The good thing is the CTS does not use the Northstar V8. It uses a Direct injected Dual overhead cam VVT 3.6 V6. We had one with high mileage. It was a 09 CTS4 with 235,000 miles on it when we got it. Great running car. Pretty fast too. Our Current 3.6 powered Cadillac is a 2014 ATS4 with 195,000 miles. Both cars feel like a new car due to the original owners maintaining them. Both cars were bought cheap as well due to the mileage. The ATS4 has 321 hp and weighs 3500 lbs making it a fairly fast sedan.

I would say mine is the 1984 Corvette. I spent all of 82, and a bit of 83 waiting on the 30th anniversary 1983 Corvette to debut. I even purchased a magazine in early 1983 devoted to the all-new 1983 Corvette. Unfortunately, GM had enough setbacks to push the release date too close to the 1984 order window, the 1983 Corvette would not be a thing. This also gave GM a chance to decide to scratch the base 15" wheel before the all-new Corvette hit showrooms. 40ish cars were built for 1983 but never sold to the public. Only one 1983 Corvette still exists and is on display at the Corvette Museum. 1984 marked the only year Cross Fire Injection would exist in a C4 Corvette. It was a lousy system that needed to die a horrible death, but the air intake on the C4 was well engineered. It took fresh air from duct work molded into the clamshell hood. Today I have a few 84-85 C4 model kits in various sizes, and the same magazine devoted to the all-new 1983 Corvette. I have owned many fast American and Australian cars, but never a C4 Corvette. I test drove one once and hated how low the seating position and the entering and exiting thing was a pain. But I still love the cars for what they were.

Outstanding build.
