Thank you sir, that is the Monogram Badman kit.

Yes, just like that silly ol' horseless carriage that Henry Ford tried. Everybody said it would be just a fad too. Personally, I think it's great. Project X was always about trying new things, and that's what this is all about.

Oops, my mistake....you are correct, sir. That's what I get for posting before coffee, lol. THIS is the correct Fisher T-tops......

T-tops started in '76, with the Hurst style. The Fisher style started around the middle of '78. The easiest way to tell which is which , the rear of the Fisher tops are even with the rear of the side window, the Hurst tops are not.

That's great! I'll put my build on hold for now and wait for the seats. Thank you.

I believe the Revell Muscle kit is the 1/24 scale kit, so no, it would not be a good choice for an accurate Bandit car.....it has the Fisher T-tops, and the Bandit car has Hurst T-tops. I do think that the Revell 1/25 kit based on a diecast does have the Hurst tops, as do the AMT/MPC kits.

The '68 GTX is my favorite Mopar. I've already got your grill and door panels, and they are excellent! I need to get the trunk lid ordered. I don't suppose you'd want to do the '68 GTX seats, would you? That, and these hubcaps, and we'd have everything we need.......?

Looking great! I love the '61-'64 Fords.

All those '57 kits out there, and not a single one has the optional bumper guards I can use to build a model of my very first car. *Sigh*......

Nice!! Love the sidepipes and Moon decal!

That is cool! Very well done, sir!

Thank you. I did, and he doesn't. I might have to fall back on Plan B with this project.

Does anyone know if the late 60s Plymouth hubcaps in the picture were ever kitted or offered by a resin caster? TIA.

Thanks again, Y'all!

Thanks again, everyone.

Robert! Man, it's good to hear from you, I was just thinking about you not long ago, wondering how you're doing. Yes sir, still living in the same place for now, but the road widening project might change that lol. And yeah, I haven't been online a lot lately, been working a lot. Hope all is well with you!

Yes sir, I totally get that. I've never been a fan of chopped post-war cars (except for Jimmy Vaughn's '61 Caddy....Oooooo!) but I do know a chopped top is plausible for a gasser. I think some people were planning on kitbashing this one with the stock kit, however, when it comes out, to build a stock sedan.....which would be impossible with the body shown. In the 70s, I had a '64 Nova sedan body on a dirt track car, so I was kinda hoping too. Oh well. I WILL wait and see the finished version.....but at this point I'm not overly optimistic.

Not the greatest pictures in the world, but these manifolds are the auto cast iron spray paint I spoke of.

Very well done, sir. I loved the ASA-All Pro cars from this era. You did good!

As a HUGE fan of The Southeast Gassers Association, I'll probably get a few of these just for parts. But that body will probably end up in the trash lol. Even Stevie Wonder can see the roof ain't right.

Go to an auto parts store (Advance, Autozone, Napa, etc) and get a spray can of cast iron paint. While you'll need to prime the parts first, it's perfect for blocks, exhaust manifolds, and anything else that's supposed to be cast iron. It dries flat.

This is cool! Like you, I have an interest in these things too. If you ever get down to the North Georgia area (NNL coming up in November) give me a shout, we have a real Bigfoot Museum in Blue Ridge GA, I'll treat you to a visit. Your model actually resembles the real one.

I've never been a fan of the SSR, but I really like the way this is looking. If Chevy had made this, I might've bought one! Awesome concept!

Thank you, all! I do appreciate the kind words.
