I have an unbuilt 73 Charger in the collection. I never opened the bag thevparts are in.

Now I know that I wasn't crazy for buying a stock 74 Charger body for my used 74 Super Charger built-up I got from a good friend. Also, I bought a resin flat and domed hood, proper center cap rallye wheels, and Keith Marks Charger Rallye decals. I also have a mint in box 73 Charger kit. I'm tempted to re-do the guts, using the AMT 71 Charger R/T. I'm glad I bought some extra 71 Charger kits. I still have a 72 Rallye to resurrect.

I haven't picked up my kits yet, but I did get some grilles from Canuck 3D for my.projects. I sold a few of them as new and used cars when they were new. I even had a black and silver one for a demonstrator in 1981. I'm building a model of that, but I'm going to bring it to 2025.. I have several sers of 3D printed engines and wheels and tires. I'm so glad this kit is what it is.

I wish I lived near the store. My wife will be able to find me there.

Looks great so far. I love the concept.

My best friend sent me a black one. Gorgeous!

Mine came in the mail last week. I am very impressed.

He did a fine job on this one. I have several AMT 68 El Camino kits, including the last issue of the street machine. I plan to use some ZForce Modelworx wheels and a Texas 3D LS engine and Transmission.

Canuck 3D has the 98 up interior parts for the AMT 90s S10/Sonoma/Blazer trucks, as well as the grille/ headlamps for the same. I'd love to see a full detail 4 door Blazer/ Jimmy. I have several of those kits. They're very nice.

My wallet is safe this month, as I have unbuilt examples of each of the model cars I want.

Tom Coolidge was one of the best resin casters. His products were eclectic, but excellent. I have several of them, and I am a very happy customer.

I had planned to do the 68 Dodge Coronet to bookend with the Revell Dodge Charger, as I have a R&R Resin 68 Coronet R/T. But of course MPC reissued the kit. Oh well.

I bought two of them as soon as the kit was available. It seems true to the original, other than the too small wheels and tires, which I was able to take care of with Resin repops of the original Appliance Apache Wheels from the original annual AMT 67 Camaro SS Hardtop kit. I detailed and mocked up a set for a later kit build when I can. The tires in the photo are just placeholders. I have yet to compare this kit to my other AMT Imperial kits in my collect. A 1966 Imperial LeBaron Hardtop can be made from this kit by an enterprising. Talented Modeler. The inter is there if you leave off the Green Hornet Accessories.

The 79 Camaro is a must have for me. As a young car salesman, I had one for a demonstrator, which was medium red metallic, with a camel vinyl standard interior, whitewall tires and color matched Rally Wheels and sport mirrors. The company let me pin stripe the car with gold and white stripe tape. I drove the car a short time before a local business owner bought the car. I'm going to do that car to the best of my ability. I'll have to remove the fender vents and the spoilers, as well as fix the side window profile. I don't forsee a problem with the Rally Wheels, as Canuck 3D does Avery nice set. I built this kit in the early 90s, and I still have a street machine version moulded in black.

I had the stock height and chopped top multi piece Revell 57 Ford Ranchero kits in my collection One was sort of a gluebomb, so I used pieces of it for other projects. Most of the stock roof version went into a Jimmy Flintstone 57 Country Sedan. When Revell introduced the 1957 Sedan, I decided on a Ranchero project. I used the bed and Tailgate from ol' blue, some sheet and rod styrene and some scratch building, and I came up with mine. No its not resin, and I am very satisfied with the result of my build.

That fit is not acceptable. I wonder how my 3D printed grilles will work. I think I will have the same problem, as I took one and fitted it to my Deserter GMC project that I am turning into a 83 Silverado 4x4 with an Iceman Collections grille, and scratch built features. Maybe I will build both as Police Vehicles from the 1980s. I have plenty of decals.

I have the following first generation Corvairs in my model collection to be restored: 1960 Corvair 700 Sedan- Kit Based 1961 Corvair 700 Sedan-Promo Based 1962 Corvair Monza Coupe- Kit Based (2) 1963 Corvair Monza Convertible-Kit Based 1964 Corvair Monza Spyder Coupe-Kit Based (2) I built one of my 62s in Aqua with the white interior. I put custom wheels on it. The other 62 I have had the custom front and rear treatment and painted Testors Copper. I was able to strip the paint and cleanly remove the custom parts. I was able to get a partial kit and box that had everything else needed to build a car. A friend of mine was into Corvairs when I was a kid. He had a Maroon one with a white interior. The 1960 and 63 have been bodyworked and primed, and are ready for paint, once i decide on the color. The 1961 Sedan is a very nice light Green Promo with no warp or issues. The 1964s are clean unpainted Kit Based models. One has had some painting on the interior by the previous owner, otherwise left alone. One is going to be yellow, with the black interior. One of the teachers at my elementary school had one. I may replicate her car. I haven't decided on the fate of the other 64 yet. I haven't started on my second generation Corvairs. That's for another post.

I have a couple of 64 Corvair models to restore. I'm going to add the wire wheels to mine

I have several different grilles in my inventory, and a set of Fireball Modelworks 6-lug 15x8 Rally Wheels with a set of his all terrain tires. A good friend of mine had a black/gray 87. I'm good for at least three. I may sell off my MPC 76.

The bed from the 1960 is a great start to do one as a F250.

Now where did I put my 6 lug Rally Wheels? I wonder will the upgrade Grills from different years fit? I would like to do a 81.

I don't know since I am not their agent. Contact them directly with your needs.

I have one 63 Plymouth Valiant Signet and a Hyper Pak, and several 71 Duster 340 kits for chassis bait.

Years ago, I opened the hood on an AMT 1964 Plymouth Valiant Signet. And added an engine and chassis detail from the AMT 71 Duster 340. I dressed the engine like a 273 Power Pak. I had to shorten the chassis about 3/16", and remove the floor from the interior tub. I plan to do the same with the 65 Barracuda I have ro rebuild.

Back in the late 1980s, I belonged to a model club, where there were several accomplished builders. A couple of them built a couple of interesting chopped AMT 49 Mercury Coupes. One of them knew my building style, and flatly told me that I could not accomplish the building of an aestihcally correct one. Meanwhile, I was looking through some magaz, and saw a Joe Ballion Tutorial on how to fo a one-to-one car. I did mine based on how he did his car. I think it came out great. I may do another
