    If you are able to get a 65 hardtop kit, and a 65 or 66 boot, a nice conversion is doable. I did one several years ago.

    I like old Cadillacs. I have all the JoHan Caddys except the 77 and 79 from 61 on. My 59 and 60 are based on the superb Monogram 59. I have a resin 59 Fleetwood Sixty Special that I may combine with my last Monogram kit to do a really nice one if I don't run out of time. The 77 and 79 will come to.me one day. My dad had a 83 Coupe re Ville, which I may use the Revell Fleetwood Hardtop as the basis. Most of it is in the kit, and I have seen a Conversion done to that kit as a De Ville. Only time will tell. I have so many projects to finish. Thanks for the shout out!

    Bill, In the early'70's, Ford marketed such a car, the LTD wagon. It was trimmed out as a LTD, but was not a Country Squire. Back in the day, if your pockets were deep enough, and you had a dealer who was willing, that car would have been built by the factory. Happy Thanksgiving

    Thanks Tom. It's always a pleasure to see you.

    That is sharp! I have one still in the box where I mocked it up with no paint I hope that mine looks half as good when I get back to it.

    I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and I picked up the following in the past few weeks: A built-up 1962 Cadillac Fleetwood to complete my Cadillac Collection in Scale A Missing Link Resin 1961 Pontiac Catalina 2 Door Sedan Transkit to go with one of my Mobieus 61 Catalinas. Various Resin wheelcovers and accessories to enhance my builds. A 1970 Hemi cuda for the Rallye Wheels for the 1970 Charger kit that O bought Last month, along with the AMT White lettered Polyglas GT Tires for those kits. I have to get out of my building slump. After seeing so many great builds here on the board, I have to get back to work. I have so many ideas for these and the others I have.

    The Firestone Double Pinstripe Tires will work well on non-performance versions of. 1970 and 1971 cars. The Performance cars with factory whitewalls got '70 series pin whites. My Dad's '70 Lincoln Continental and my Grandparent's '71 Mercury Marquis had those double pinstripe tires. I would love to get a set for a '70 Impala. LTD, or Monte Carlo among others.

    That one takes me back. A good friend of mine's Mom had that very same car in one-to-one. She bought it new in 1966.

    It is the Revell kit, and I know how you feel about it. You know I will deal with the foibles we discussed.

    It is the Nickey Chevrolet version. Non stock, but I have the parts left over from the one I built originally, as well as parts from my parts box, as well as an unbuilt original version of the kit. I plan to do an Indy Pace Car Convertible. I have the parts to do the car.

    I had a good day. I received the following: (2) '61 Pontiac Catalinas from Mobieus (1) '67 Camaro SS/RS from Monogram. I am happy with these, and I also have a '61 Pontiac Catalina Post Sedan Resin Body coming from Missing Link Resin. I have not yet built my '61 Ventura, but I know what I want to do with it.

    The Monte Carlo and El Camino, had different fender contours and the nose cones were not the same part, even though they looked similar. The Monte Carlo SS was all factory, and the El Camino was aftermarket, and the quality showed. When the El Camino SS was new, The basic vehicle was ordered normally through the GM system, but there was a drop ship code that sent the vehicles to Tenn. to get the SS Conversion. There was not a lot of variations from car to car. Choo Choo customs also sold a conversion kit where El Camino owners could transform their cars into an "SS" , as well as collision replacement parts. I've even seen a few '78-81 Malibu Coupes with the "SS" front end. We were a big dealer, and we did not sell many. They were not too plentiful when they were new.

    At least yours has the scripts. The one I re-built a couple of years ago had the custom front and rear treatments glued on. Fortunately, I was able to fix it up to a satisfactory level. Good score!

    the 1961 Thunderbird also got the thin whitewalls mid-year.

    While it is not 100% perfect, it's pretty BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH good. I have one.

    Dave, I for one, appreciate the effort s put forth by your company, as I have bought most of your company's offerings, including the International, even though I am not a big rig guy, I am happy with the way you are presenting future product, and I am quite sure that they will be satisfactory to me for my modeling purposes. I will be there with cash in hand when the kits are available.
  23. Ron Hamilton
    I believe that these kit will be big sellers for Mobieus. Thank you, and I am not bored.

    You did a fine job. My aunt had a baby blue '76 Torino with a Blue vinyl roof and interior. I may just do one for her.
