thanks, Gary! I got this done awhile ago and will post its under glass thread/link shortly

If reserving one from an online dealer counts, I just got a Jo-Han/Seville Pro Street Rambler in a messy looking box that has only been opened to assess its condition reserved to pay $25 cash for. It will be a sleeper style hot rod if not just a regular stock Grandma type of car with a 290 V8, automatic and 2-tone paint.

nice. One of these days I will build one, likely a gluebomb overhaul from a buddy. Modified AMT Ford Galaxie cop car Boss 429/4-speed for its powerplant and a bumpside F350 radiator. Will be done to match my same chassis/same motor/etc 57 Chevy, in camel yellow over shiny brown custom hide of the Nauga.

Fresh paint

I want to see the other 1/16 Revell F-bodies besides the Trans Am GTA come back, having missed out as a kid.

Primered/sealed and mocked up on wheels/tires. A steering shaft and lots of chrome will occupy the underhood area and decorate the 428 big block V8. Since these photos, I sanded it a bit more and laid down a coat of Tamiya metallic red.

Custom bodywork all molded in. This is a thin, sanded further, coat of Bondo glazing putty, so as to limit/avoid any shrinkage in the future.

Got an idea to do this with a Walmart exclusive kit after seeing this article on Lee Pratt’s 60s Buick LeSabre and remembering similar builds by the likes of Gene Winfield, Ray Fahrner, Dave Puhl, Richard Korkes, and the Alexander Brothers in old books/magazines. The scale 6 inch top chop was surprisingly easy to pull off, and the kit supplied custom nose/tail treatments were used. The wind wings are since deleted, with the A-pillars & rear buttresses filled in with a small batch of "sprue goo" I made to use up some old school AMT sprue and get the most out of a couple almost empty tubes of Testors glue.

thank you! I hadn't installed the wheel/column in that shot yet.

Parts bin build of a '63 White 3000 cargo box with an Allison transmission and widow maker wheels.

thank you!

Walmart release in weathered Rangoon Red and Wimbledon White with pusher fan conversion and stock intake/air filter/carburetor instead of tripower.

Last glance at it before the Under Glass thread.

Front end is finalized, suspension switched from parallel spring to buggy spring, glass is aged and installed

Taking shape with a Revell Willys bed

Walmart release in red plastic, I used some ideas seen online to do my own thing with it. Ultimately the only thing I didnt modify was the hood.

thank you!

I am seeing a 1940s California style hot rod (think Harry Westergaard or early Barris) here

Really impressed with this Racine.

thanks Michelle!

My old Chevy Van as seen on Google Earth around the time I bought it. Color is hideous and inside even more so.

Gonna need.

It's ready for under glass.

This Mako was a very fun build and not that complicated.If you are used to MPC Streaker Vettes or C3s this is scarcely different.

Hi, If anyone has extras to part with, would love one or the other or even both to try to build to go with my 1/50 diecast trucks. I know Ollies has lots of White kits but I am nowhere near any location. Short on cash due to the holidays but could accept a RAOK/gift or do a trade or maybe some other way
