NitroMarty started following '60 ('63?) Corvair Match Racer

While rearranging my display case, last evening, I picked up the Corvair altered that I built a few years back...... and that got me thinking about this build, so I came here to take another look. While my Corvair was inspired by the same old picture, my end product wound up as something much more radical (altered wheelbase, blown fuel hemi, fogged and faded metal flake). Now I'm feeling the itch to search out an early Corvair and build another, following your's as a guideline. Thanks a lot, Eric.... You're a bad influence!!! 😜😜😜😜🤣

Here's one that I built in the early 2000's. A slammed F-150 crew cab, built by marrying a Revell snap Explorer with the Revell Harley Davidson flare side F-150. It was a total curbside build, with a simple flat Evergreen sheet floorpan. Unfortunately it's no longer in my collection, as it was among the models that I sold during our move from house to apartment. One more pic with another of my old pickups... A curbside Pro Street style 94 Dodge , that I built when that kit first came out.

I've got you covered... Message me your address and I'll drop them in the mail for you.

So freaking cool!!! I actually started a similar project many years ago, but, as is typical for me, something shiny distracted me (squirrel!) and the model got pushed aside and forgotten. So glad that you saw this one through.

In a word.... WOW!!! I so want to build and drive this in full scale.

I like it!!!!

Beautiful build. There is a reason that full fender 32 roadsters are considered timeless hot rods.

Right back at you Bruce!!!! Thanks for the great trade!

Not 100% sure, but I think that is a build up of the ancient ITC (Ideal Toys) MG TC kit. Dad had one, when I was a very young kid, that he turned into a drag racer using parts from the 1/8 Lindberg Dragster kit.

Heller Reissues Some AMT 1/43 Scale Big Rigs
NitroMarty replied to Junkman's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I'm not so sure about that. AMT was not sold to Lensey until 1978. I have a 1975 AMT catalog that has the 1/43 truck kits listed and pictured. Pretty sure those were tooled up in the Troy Michigan facility.
