Been there, done that. My model car club meetings are on the San Fernando Valley, so I go into BHH on the day of the meeting. Sometimes I purchase stuff off their website or the auction site and arrange to pick up in the store. Glen and his people are great!

A stock 63 Tempest would have a different chassis than a Nova, due to the different driveline.

Fuzzy dice and a high school graduation tassel.

Eastwood sells spray cans of stainless steel, aluminum and cast iron gray. Good paint but it's not buffable.

Still going. When they're ready to publish #227, they will publish and send it out.

My first thought on seeing the Chevelle was "Who's going to buy that, with the Revell version available?"

IIRC they were orange. MPC 69 Cougar "Super Cat" was molded in red

68-69 Riviera kit has always had the vinyl top grain and moldings. I have an original issue that I built in 1969 and it has the vinyl top detail.

For anyone interested, Burbank's House of Hobbies has several Pyro kits from a collection in stock. Not cheap, but fairly reasonable. Search results: 21 results for "pyro" – Burbank's House of Hobbies There might be a few more to see if you go to their home page and look at the "new arrivals" page

69-70 Chevy long-bed stepside pickup. There was a big bowtie stamped on the tailgate and the rear fenders were 55-56 style.

Amazon Parked at the Lowe's near my house:

They were impressive and really nice when they were new, probably big money pits these days. How old are the newest Phaetons?

Pantera was quite different than the Mangusta, Styling, of course, was different. Pantera had monococque construction where the Mangusta had a separate central backbone chassis.

Lockheed Martin was never "Part of Boeing". They are two separate companies.

And they enlarged the engine compartment of the Pinto in 1974. I had a 73 wagon that I swapped a 2300 engine into. It was not a bolt-in. The 2300 is physically larger than the 2000 that came out of the car, the compartment is smaller front-to back and the engine mounts are completely different. That being said, the swap worked really well.

Burbank's House of Hobbies has been getting some cool old kits in so I indulged and picked up a couple more. Yesterday I picked up a 74 AMT Mustang II kit and a Hawk Monte Carlo. I wanted to get one of these since I was about ten. They also had the Moebius (formerly Galaxie) 40's Chevy kits so I picked up a Coupe kit. We had our club meeting last night and some guys brought some kits to sell. I acquired a Revell 67 GTX (Sox & Martin), Fujimi Ferrari Daytona, Moebius Golden Commandos AWB car and a couple other things.

I have a 1984 Corvette brochure. picked up (I had to pay for it!) at the local Chevy dealer when the C4 first came out.
