    Aoshima 1/23 MGB for the C1 GT btody that will hopefully be here soon, Hasegawa BMW 2002 and a Revell 62 Chevy. Also a check for some of my consignment kits that have been sold. I made a trip to the San Fernando Valley and hit wo local hobby shops that are still open.

    And a broken one to boot.

    I am using the door panels, seats etc from the 66 Nova and a cargo area from a 65 Chevelle wagon. Not perfect or prototypical but it works for me. The new kit will be out before I finish lol.

    The 66 Chassis mates up with the original 63 wagon body pretty well, but doesn't play nice with the interior.

    Eventually it was. It became the "Iron Duke", used in Monzas and other Vega-derived cars in the late 70s, S-10s, Citation family and Celebrity/Ciera/Century/6000.

    Along with a beat up deceased horse.

    The later AJ6 (1984-up) cam covers probably don't fit the earlier engines

    I saw a similar set by Craftsman at Lowe's earlier this evening for 30 bucks.

    Sometimes they are referred to as cotter pin pullers. I have a Craftsman one I purchased at Sears several years ago.

    The Fiestas we got in the US had the 1600cc "Cortina" engine and were a lot of fun to drive. I drove a couple as loaner cars and really enjoyed the experience. Cool styling too.

    One of my current projects is a build using the original Nova wagon body. The 66 Nova chassis and engine compartment fits the wagon pretty well. The wagon's interior bucket does not fit on the 66 floor pan. I am using a combination of the 66 interior, along with part of a 65 Chevelle wagon interior in my build.

    AMT 69 Cougar

    sfhess replied to randyc's topic in Model Cars

    Nice job on that build. Several years ago I built a replica of my friend's 69 428CJ Cougar XR 7. It was the burgundy color, with a black vinyl top and interior. I found that Tamiya Maroon spray was a close match for the factory color. My yellow 69 XR 7:

    I met Tom West a couple of years before he passed away. He brought a lot of cool stuff to show off at our club meetings. On one occasion he brought notebooks full of drawings for the Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport Corvette and McLarens. Incredible stuff.

    700 HP Charger with a 50 HP driver.

    Yes. Pretty cool. I have had a couple of Pintos in the fleet. A red 76 Runabout and a white 73 wagon with a 2300 swap. The wagon looked like a half-size version of my 72 Montego Villager. Same colors inside and out.

    You could get a 2.8 V6 in those but I was wondering if it is a V8 swap because of the 5-lug spindles/axles.

    Yellow Lamborghini Urus in the IKEA parking lot.

    Wonder what's under the hood of that Bobcat. 5-lug wheels indicate there have been some modifications.

    Then there was Pippa Garner's 59 Chevy....

    White 67 Impala 2-door in the local Target parking lot.

    Some of the worst plastic I have seen is the root beer brown that one issue of the Revell 56 F100 was molded in. I have one and the cab broke apart in the box between the time I purchased the kit and when I decided to start to work on it.

    Pretty sure that will work for 61-66 Thunderbirds. I have an original 63 Thunderbird and the custom parts for it fit well on the "new tool" 62.
