  1. Looks great! I just got a kit for myself. I live near College Park, MD., and I have seen that truck a few times.
  2. I bought a 3/4 ton chassis for one of my 67 Utility trucks.
  3. I built that BMW 750iL several years ago, and I plan to give it a clean up, and maybe some updated wheels and tires. It was not an easy kit when I built it, and I was at the top of my game 25 years ago when I built it.
  4. I bought one myself, and I'm quite happy with it.
  5. That's great. I hope to be able to utilize the service. I'm still going to use my Revell Chrom Spray and chrome acrylic markers for parts that are not going to be overly handled, or not meant to be really brilliant.
  6. That is fantastic news about the multiple sets of wheelcovers in this kit. The last time I saw those wheelcovers was on a 65 Valiant Signet Craftsman kit.
  7. I have bought from both JoHan groups. I truly don't know who has the actual rights, but I tried to buy from Okey earlier this year with no success. The folks at Atomic City filled my needs as best they could, over 90%.
  8. The Model Cat Garage 65 Satellite/Belvedere photoetch set has the V8 Fender Emblems. The Little Red Wagon Kit has a 273 engine. Also VCG Resins has a very nice small block Plymouth/Dodge engine in their line.
  9. I'll be happy to get the 64 1/2 Plymouth Barracuda, and the 60 Chevrolet Nomad. I wonder will the 273 from the Little Red Wagon/Touch Tone Terror fit in the chassis, as I bought a couple for the original annual. I also have a set of the Sport Wheel Covers from the annual 65, as well as a small block Mopar/727 Torqueflite from VCG Resins. I hope it has the Formula S stripes and trim, as well as Multiple wheel trim options.
  10. The back seat on the Sedan is a solid, non folding rear seat, which is the same as the non hatchback coupe. I believe the AMT based Nova kits are not hatchbacks. .
  11. Don't forget the curb rub strip on the side of the tire, as well as maybe a white wall insert.
  12. I like what you're doing. I sold Chevrolet from 1978 through 2002. My first Demonstrator was a 1978 Nova 4 Door Sedan. I'd like to build a model of it. The parts you are doing, save the wheelcovers will get me close to building a model of that car. If I can't get a 4 door body, I can make one myself.
  13. Personally, I have no problem with Chris'(HPI Guy) kit reviews. They tell me what's in the kit, and how they fit together. It seems to me that he has a good time doing his films and explaining his builds. I wish him well, and look forward to more of his reviews.
  14. Iceman Collections has a beautiful set of steelies and dog dish caps that will work on one of these.
  15. This is a nice set. I suggest that if you do the bench seat, match the upholstery pattern to the rear seat in the kit tub, or do a separate rear seat. I'd love this set, as I sold these cars new.
  16. I really like the AMT 1/16 scale 1955 and 1957 Thunderbird, as I bought and built them when the kits first came out. I hope that I can disassemble and repaint the 57 in an accurate paint color. The 55, I hope I can polish out the 40 plus year old Testors black enamel. I did mine with the wire wheels and the whitewall inserts on those hokey tires. I haven't seen it in 5 years, but it looked fine, and I stored it with no weight on it not to affect the pillars. I have an unbuilt MPC 82 Trans AM, and I recently bought a Revell 87 Firebird Trans AM GTA. I have a set of Ray's Decals Tail light Masks for them. I only wish that I can get some decent modern 18" wheels and tires 3D printed for them, as well as my built up Revell Camaro Berlinetta, that I built when the kit and the car was new. I polished my 1/16 Camaro IROC Z, that I did in white, with gray trimmed wheels and a black interior. It's safely in the basement, along with the others.
  17. I have the First Revell Issue of the 70, as well as 68s and 69s. I'm going to get one more 70. I have some Panther Pink and Plum Crazy paint for the build.
  18. I'm glad I bought those STSdecals for mine.
  19. I love it! I did a phantom Z16 Convertible years ago.
  20. Excellent job. I love the subject matter and the execution.
  21. I got my hood scoop and wheelcovers. Very nice and worth the wait.
  22. I'll be there for the grilles. One might be just the thing for this. 1978 rectangular headlamp Deluxe grille
