Just got my issue, pretty cool to see that in Car Craft!

Very nice!

Very nice, lowered just right....

Well that's good news! That hood scoop appears a lot larger & shaped differently than from the first pic you posted.

Matt, Just noticed this when using the 83 hood on the early 79,80, café racer bodies is that the hood lines do not match up to the cowl area. Even on the 1:1 cars this is the issue, the earlier cars (1979 to 82) used a smaller cowl. This on the Monogram body.........might not be a huge issue???

Are those Merkur trans kits still available?

I know I should of went now, instead I decided to watch the MI / Ohio game......dang it

I would agree that using the Monogram parts would result in a better looking 1983. Using the 83 convertible nose with the 80 body is the way to go, could use the hood scoop from the MPC 83 kit. Rear spoiler on the 80 body looks correct for the 83. The rear seat could be cut out and replaced with sheet plastic. I have built several of the Monogram Fox body cars and by swapping noses & hoods you can up with several different versions of the cars. I've done a 80 convertible (never really made), 84 1/2 GT350 convertible, Pace car, etc. I have several "scrap" bodies of the Monogram version plus a bunch of spare parts and even multiple complete kits of all the Monogram versions. PM me with what you may be interested in. Zen

http://www.uniqueeventsshows.com/Kalamazoo_Circus_Maximus_Toy_Show.html This is mainly a toy show but kits & promos are there to be bought. It's the Saturday after Thanksgiving (11/25).

I don't have this kit but this is the Lindberg version...

Dang, I think I got had by this seller or someone just like it. Bought a California Street Vette for a cheap price then realized it was from seller in China. Got too excited and hit the buy it now, thought it was too good to be true afterwards. Oh well, live & learn I guess.....

Probably right after #203...... within minutes, hours, days, or weeks later.

The Monkeemobile kit has the wrong interior for a 90. It's based on the 79 - 86 interior.

Finishing up one of theses now and had no issues. I sprayed mine with Duplicolor grey primer and everything covered well.

OUTSTANDING!!!

Looking good! Did you lower it? What's the wheel & tire combo from?

Looking forward to your build on the Mark.........used to own a few these back in the day.

Great looking 83/84, I have a few of these I need to finish.

Any more info & pics of the Turbo Coupe?

I am looking for #197 & 198, didn't realize my subscription ran out back then. I am current on the issues now. Thanks, Zen

Any updates on being able to purchase back issues yet? thanks, Zen

Looks great! I have one of these on the table now. Curious on how you finished up the rear cargo area behind the rear seat.

Great looking 86! No kit or resin available for the 85/86.
