  1. I'm guessing these are the smallest Goodyear Polyglas GT tires, with different RWLs. Can you post a pic of the tread area and a measurement or two, please?
  2. I have the two tail lights and the rear roll pan piece. Just need your address to mail them out. I sent you a PM (personal/private message), too. When you log into the forum (or visit it) you should get a pop-up message that you have a PM. Click on that message, or post your address here and I'll get the parts mailed out to you.
  3. Probably should have posted this her instead, so, sorry for the double-dip: Revell could simply straight reissue these and rake in the money: 1/25 '68 Pontiac Firebird 1/25 '67 Camaro 1/25 '77 Monte Carlo Snap 1/25 '49 Mercury Woodie Wagon 1/25 '41 Willys, race/gasser version 1/25 '60 Chevy Impala Hardtop 1/25 '99 Chevy Pickup 1/25 '57 Ford Sedan Gasser 1/25 '70 Plymouth HEMI Cuda 1/24 '70 Plymouth Road Runner 1/24 '55 Chevy Street Machine Some Round2 reissues: 1/16 '55 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop 1/16 '57 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop 1/16 '57 Nomad 1/16 '63 Corvette AMT '63 Pontiac Tempest AWB MPC Open Road Camper AMT '64 Mercury Comet Caliente MPC '84 Toyota Supra IMC Touch Tone Terror Dodge A-10 Pickup
  4. I think Revell designed this kit concurrently with their 1/25 scale version, as the parts design and breakdown is very similar in many areas, including the separate, lift-off roof panel. I doubt it will ever be re-issued, though I would be delighted to be wrong on that. To my knowledge, it's never been re-issued, nor has the sibling Movin' Out version-- neither has been seen since 1977 or '78.
  5. Doh. Fixed. Had the '48 Ford Custom on the brain and list, then deleted it because I wasn't so confident that'd be a good seller.

  7. Here's a look inside the 1/16 scale Revell "Big Bad Van" Chevy custom van kit from 1977: https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/1667/revell-big-bad-chevy-custom All of the (insert adjective here) custom parts from the van craze era are well represented in this one, from acres of diamond tufted interior panels to the flares, spoilers, mag wheels, and huge graphics for the quarter panels. Kenny Youngblood box art is a nice bonus.
  8. AMT 1965 CHEVY II NOVA AWB "TWISTER" 1:25 SCALE MODEL KIT (DUE LATE FEBRUARY 2022): https://www.autoworldstore.com/collections/amt/products/pre-order-amt-1965-chevy-ii-nova-awb-twister-1-25-scale-model-kit-due-late-february-2022
  9. FEATURE PACKED: The 1968 Chevy Corvette Custom kit features details like pad-printed drag slicks, 2 tire options, front spoiler, 2 windshield options, custom hood, 5-spoke Mags, 8-spoke wheels, rollcage, 3+ engine configurations and lots more customizing parts. Kit also includes ALL NEW decals with lots of option and vintage style Retro Deluxe™ AMT packaging. QUICK SPECS: 1/25 Scale. 155 parts. 7" long. Parts molded in white with clear, clear red and chrome plastic, plus metal axles and black vinyl tires.
  10. AMT 1359 -- 1949 Ford Coupe "The 49er":
  11. The 1/24 Monogram '79 Z/28 kit includes them, and they are nice, with molded open cooling slots and "Z/28" on the centercap. They might scale out closer to 16" in 1/25 scale, however.
  12. $60 is a good starting point. Adjust up or down based upon condition and completeness...and the buyer's desperation. 😐
  13. That might explain why I've never seen one. 😫 Thanks for the pic. 🧐
  14. Has anyone ever seen this one, or better yet, do you have one and can post a pic of it? MPC '76 Pinto:
  15. Looking at unassembled Astro 95 rear axle halves, I see they are assembled incorrectly. Not sure if I screwed up or they were already assembled when I received them, but I have to correct them. 😕 Three steps, now corrected:
  16. I went back and edited some text and added a few images because all the old images were linked to my old Photobucket account, and were deleted. It's difficult to re-take images after progress has been made, and the flow of progress is no longer present, but a dozen or so images have been re-added, so, hopefully that helps. I haven't made any progress since my last post, but the frame has held up well, ready to be back on the bench: I do have a good idea of what I plan to carry as a load on the flatbed once I get to that point, but first I need to get to that point. 😬 I also think I messed up on one of the rearend assemblies, too, as one pinion is high while the opposite is low, which doesn't seem correct, and would likely cause some major driveshaft interference under suspension articulation. The Astro 95s instructions are super clear in that regard, and I'm not sure where the GMC service manual is, either, so, I've got some research to do. One "new" pic of the cab, which is mostly in the same state it was a few years ago. The doors, and especially the hinges, are going to be a challenge, but too late to turn back now:
  17. Lindberg seems to be dead as far as Automotive subjects go. The last kit released under the Lindberg brand was the 1/16 "The Serpent" custom T-Bucket, almost five years ago: Multiple new-in-the'90s "modern" Lindberg kits have been re-issued under the AMT label ('64 Dodge, '64 Plymouth (stock and Lawman versions), 1/20 '94 Camaro SS, etc. Don't see it coming back, which, I'm fine with. Never seemed like a brand which appealed to many nor had a lot of recognition.
  18. Tease. 😛 Crazy how that kit has gone steadily upward in price. Nice scrore.
  19. I believe these are the parts you are looking for: I have these three pieces I can send you if you can send (or just reply here with) your address:
  20. Stock seats, for one. Intake might be stock only for the non-SC version?: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tam/kit_tam_12010.shtml
