Is this going to be a complete kit?

I bought a few clear organizers (12"x8", Darice brand) with the fixed segmented compartments and use those. I tend to trade or give away anything I don't see myself using in the near future, so I don't keep a lot of parts "in stock". I'd rather have something I want and can use now than hold onto something I think I may have a use for in the future.

I forget how I ended up finding this one, but what a cool barn find one of these would be:

It's a shame this one never made it to production, as Pontiac had a great performance image and many styling cues to work with in the late '70s:

What if Chrysler designed a 2-door Magnum?: This was a quick PS job, as you can still see the kink in the upper window/roof frame...but it looks a lot sleeker than the original IMO. Existing pic- I never would have chosen these wheels!

It will not float. Fully submerge the model, but check on it every few hours to see if the paint is coming off or not. I've found some paints come off easier, and some have to be scrubbed off when using 91% isopropyl alcohol.

The Revell chopper series, maybe?

That's the nice way of saying it. I like a lot of AMC sytling cues, but rarely did they hit a home run on any vehicle, save for the '68 Javelin IMO. There's a lot to like about the Pacer, provided some small changes are made.

IIRC, PDP was out of Carol Stream, IL, and they had a nice lineup of aftermarket decals and detail parts.

You need to update your web browser. I (and others) had the same issue, and once I updated to IE7 (or 8, I forget) no more menu bar blocking the reply box space. The Challenger looks great, and it's a shame Chrysler has yet to offer Sublime on the Challenger, but they still might.

If it's the same as the model in the attached pic, anywhere from $50-$80. This one was one & complete, and sold recently on eBay for $57.00.

I don't think anybody makes the louvered quarter window inserts. Someone on the SA Form did a similar car last year, but I don't think he cast the inserts separately.

The Revell '32 Fords kits could provide a nice 302, but IIRC they all have auto (C-4 or 6) transmissions. The Revell Boss 302/Mach1 kit is 1/24 scale, so I think it would look too big in the small Mustang II body. The AMT '67 is a great suggestion for a parts donor kit, too.

It has a 4-speed manual trans and 9" rear end from memory. I don't recall if the top of the rear end is molded open or not like other early '80s Monogram kits were, but it does have the leaf springs, rearend, and driveshaft molded together as one unit.

I'd be in for a set of Sundance decals.

I find it interesting the kit is labelled as a "'66 Chevy SS396 Hardtop", while the description on Revell's 'site mentions Impala. I'm no '60s Chevy buff, but was it possible this same bodystle could be had in the Biscayne line, too? It reminds me of Revell's '65 Chevelle SS 396 Z-16 from the pics posted on the layitlow forum. I'm sure this kit'll make a lot of people happy, and give others something to

It has a smooth roof/no molded-in vinyl top.

Great to hear the chat room is coming back online, so to speak. I hope you packed it with lots of emoticons.

No, it's the MPC 1/25 kit. Just a few '73-'74 Satellite pics: That SSP trim is going to be a PITA, Steve, but keep at it. I think the SSPs are the best looking of the '73-'74s, especially when they have two-tone paint, like so:

You shouldn't feel bad at all, Gregg- they paid what they thought it was worth, and to a collector, an orignal issue kit may be worth much more than a re-issued kit. I wonder if Perry's Resin is going to have Daytona conversion kits and decals ready to go when this kit hits the street.

Just sharing an e-mail I received after inquiring about the forthcoming re-issue: The kit will be the same as the previous time it was out. No changes planned. Regards, John Greczula AMT / MPC / Polar Lights / Auto World

Release date is late October 2010. I think it's too early to know much more.

Best 16" scale American Torq-Thrust style wheels in any kit. The Monogram '69 Camaro kits have a decent set of slapper bars, a separate chrome differential cover, and in the molded in white version, a set of Motor Wheel Flys and Spyders. I want to say it hard a decent snorkel hood scoop, too.

Is that the box stock air cleaner from the Revell 1/25 2'n'1 '70 Challenger kit?

Maybe it's because you can't accept any new PMs, either, Monty?
